Crawford County @ West Washington

WW defense will be too much for Crawford to overcome. 

Paoli @ Mitchell

Perry Central @ Springs Valley

Springs Valley continues with an easy schedule on route to a win and will remain undefeated. The schedule will do them no favors in sectional where I suspect Providence (in a down year) will take 48, but it sure does look cool to be undefeated going into the playoffs anyways. I had to go double check by according to Harrells site SV hasn’t won a sectional dating back to atleast 1993, have they ever won one? 

Clarksville @ North Harrison

Clarksville won’t be able to stop NH. Unless NH has some injuries and stuff I don’t know about. Shouldnt be much of a contest.

 

Madison @ Corydon

Junior 3 year starting QB Bobby Sharp lost for the season due to injury. Corydon wins easily on Senior Night with backup Sr QB Dane Naiman leading the way. Naiman is a Swiss Army knife and is more than a capable QB who is a true duel threat with some incredible athletes to throw to behind a BIG line. 

 

Salem @ Charlestown

Id like to say that following Salem’s thumping of Corydon 2 weeks ago, that Salem can pull this one off. But I don’t think they will. Prove me wrong Lions. 

 

Scottsburg @ Eastern Pekin

Scottsburg will look like an offensive juggernaut this week, but which continues to happen vs the bad teams. They will need a little momentum and confidence this week because next week they are gonna get drummed by the Braves on Senior Night. 

 

Silver Creek @ Brownstown

The only question here will be how many points will the Braves score on Elm street Friday night? This is far and away the best offense Reed May has ever produced and I’d argue the best defense too. Coaches aren’t supposed to look past this week, but I can. The 2025 MSC Champs will roll through sectional with exaggerated ease, then get the much anticipated rematch with the Miners of Linton. Paul Oliver and Russel Goodman are the duel headed beast for the Miners and if Brownstown can slow them down they could be looking at a stout defense in Lapel where if they are up the challenge, they will be heading to Lucas Oil to take on the defending 2a state champ, Adams Central. 

 

Bonus Game of the Week

Lawrence North @ Center Grove

I dont know anything about these teams other than they are both dang good. Center Grove is home so I’d lean towards them. But I suspect it to be a great Friday night football game.

Springs Valley has 4 sectional titles. 88, 89, 90, 92. Went to state in 89.

I'm curious to know your thoughts on Valley potentially making their schedule weaker starting next season, with them swapping out Salem (Current Sagarin Rating 204) for Jennings County(Current Sagarin Rating 276).

Did they have a choice? I suspect that is the week that Salem will have Madison on their schedule going forward. Salem has two other non-conference games, but my guess is they want to keep them since they are rivalry games.

I have no idea what options there were. I heard Easten Greene dropped them Week 1 also. We had to make changes to our schedule as well. Wish we would expand the conference  to minimize the searching for games.

I know these schools are doing what they can to be competitive, but it is making for challenging schedule issues for other schools. The Hoosier Hills is running into this with Jennings leaving. Floyd and Jeff will be challenged to find week 8 and 9 games to replace them. Kentucky schools are a logical choice, but they are generally in district play at the end of the season, so that doesn't work.

I know it is a lot of pressure to put on a group - but if Brownstown isn't playing for a 2A State title this year (and in my opinion, lifting the trophy) I would be shocked. Coach May's resume speaks for itself, guy is an excellent Coach and his players are hungry for it. I know Linton is tough and I'm sure there are some Indy p/p's standing in the way, but I just can't imagine a scenario (barring injuries) that stands in Brownstown's way this year .

I think this group of seniors still have a bitter taste about how their season ended last year. In other words, I’m excited for the tournament to begin. Should be a fun one! Hopefully everybody stays healthy like you said.

I read something on Facebook last night about how the current Greencastle QB, used to go to school at Springs Valley. Is there any truth to this?

Although Greencastle has a less than favorable record, and almost got a hundred put on them last week, he has put up some good numbers this year. I can’t help but wonder what kind of team SV would have if he were still down there. Any PLAC guys care to elaborate?

He did. His mom i believe graduated from Valley. Cant remember when he left. Not sure he even made it to Jr High (I know he played 8th grade at Owen Valley). Hes good but he plays in air raid offense. Valley runs like 85% of the time. Hard to know how much he would change this Valley team. Senior Blake Buchannan is a good runner/decent thrower. Like 170 on the geound against Paoli. Not sure how well Stephans runs so hard to really know how he would fit

In conference play you get what you get. Ask Brownstown about that (PF 252 PA 46 and outside of a couple few of those scores, they were not against BC varsity). 
 

for non conference, they need to go find some better teams. Easier said than done. I get that. I know Providence had a bye this year. 
 

as for my thoughts on it possibly being weaker, it won’t benefit them come playoffs. But hey, when those kids are in their mid thirties telling their kids about how good they were, they will say we were 9, 10, 11-1 and will be able to relish in win after win. Since most of them will never play after high school, which is the case for most all HS football players, maybe playing an easier schedule isn’t a terrible thing. I just know it won’t benefit them for a deep post season run.

I fully expect them to win 2a. I think last year they would have made it to LOS but Linton gritted it out late in that game. 
 

I do know this. Whomever represents the South in 2a will have had to play a tough Regional and Semi State game. But I also know Adams Central will be a TOUGH TOUGH out for anyone playing them. (Bluffton and them this week should be interesting.)

Who would/could we add? Pekin joined elsewhere as did Clarksville. Always thought maybe North Daviees or Eastern Greene but believe that conference is expanding. Salem wont leave MSC even as the smallest school. Feels tough.

They aren't the smallest and also have a huge FR class.

Seemed like they averaged about 15-16 players per JV game and have cancelled Monday due to lack of numbers. Are they playing V?

That’s unfortunate, I hope they stick around.

One of the smallest. Just knew you both were 2A. I guess I need to look at thier roster again. Didnt realize it was so young.

Cole left Valley after 4th Grade I believe. Went to Pike Central for a few years. Then Owen Valley for a few years before Greencastle.

Someone that worked there told me they've lost over 300 students in the district since 2020.

right right, for sure... only reason I corrected you was because in the last cycle... they WERE the smallest, of the football playing schools, excluding Pekin.
