Eastbrook is better offensively than I have given them credit for!! Alexandria was a legitimate passing team and also had a good defense. Beat them twice. This Eastbrook defense will be the reason they have a good chance of representing the north

They are having trouble with Eastern. Either team is getting smacked next week. Miracle on grass cant save em

[Gibbs]

I don’t think it’s gonna be as easy as you predict! I find it ironic that Adams Central has had three home games after they play this Eastbrook game, compared to Eastbrook’s one home game. I’ve said it before, Eastern has one of the best quarterbacks and two receivers in northern Indiana!

[260AC]

ill await your response when they lose by 20+

[Gibbs]

I’ll be here, will you? Eastern had 230 yards throwing in first half. Shut them down in the second half! AC hasn’t seen a defense like this!

[260AC]

you just gave up 28 points to eastern what are you even talking about

[Gibbs]

Again EASTERN is underrated! What part of this don’t you get! AC GAVE UP 32 second half points to Eastside! What are you talking about? 

[260AC]

Its called garbage time. If you think these AC players have never played better defenses than eastbrook when these players have never not been to state, then you are either a players dad or full on copium.

AC won’t win the state title! that’s a fact! 

[Gibbs]

I agree with the predictor!

Don't have to say anything about Adam Central, the program speaks for itself. Eastbrook is led by a lot of seniors this year. Rochester had a solid group this last year and Eastbrook took us behind the woodshed. I think the key to this one will be the passing game of Adam Central. I think this is the weak link in Eastbrooks defense. Adam Central will have a better QB and receiver than Eastern had, trust me I've watched both teams. For Adam Central, gotta stop Howell. Rochester stopped him on the ground but he threw it all over us. The QB with the better game next Friday will be on the winning team. Two really good players at the position for both teams next week. I'm taking Adam Central, but I wouldn't be surprised if Eastbrook wins either. They have the talent to do it. Should be a good one.

I've always said that the best thing about HS football is grown men (or women) arguing and talking trash about teenagers playing football on an anonymous online forum...

Looking forward to the matchup of unbeatens to see who gets to take on Andrean in semistate.

Adams Central wins they are in 3a next year 

Andrean hosting Southmount who I know nothing about, was told they have large humans up front and good running back 

Andrean has large humans as well 

[Yuccaguy]

I can guarantee you that there is one team in Sectional 25 that is a big time AC fan right about now.  

If SF can get them moved up.  Then Bluffton can get that matchup off their radar.  But there's still: Busco and Eastside there. Heck, SA could get pushed up to #25.  Not a great swap actually.

Was impressed at times watching them against Cass, was also not impressed enough to think they can hang with Andrean. It's Andrean's to lose in that regional game.

[temptation]

Temp goes 5/8 on sectional winners.

[Justasportsfan]

Ever since AC moved up from 1A they haven't just been winning, heck they been hurting boys (one of the best lines from the moview Friday night lights).  Seriously though, I keep watching for someone to give the Jets a game and every week I am shown that those flying jets drop bombs in Berne...er...Decatur.. Thought Andrean would be their demise last year, yet here we are again...Come AC people, how many of those Bellmont kids are wearing red and white...all the talent at one and none at the other??

[Coach Nowlin]

Knox is scheduled to be in 2a unless they win 3a State, then they stay in 3a 

Just throwing that out there as well

Not many at all. Maybe 1 or 2 kids that play. 1 of the 2 started at AC then Bellmont & then to the Lutheran school in elementary & middle school. Then AC for high school. The other maybe MS at Bellmont and then HS at AC. You can PM me and I'll give you the details on why Bellmont is struggling. Bellmont could be in the same position as AC & SA if certain things would be done. I'm hoping all 3 schools are in different classes when these 7th & 8th graders are Juniors & Seniors.

Out of the 3 Adams County schools, Bellmont is the only one that isn't successful. It goes beyond who is wearing what color of jersey. I'm not going to pretend to know all of the issues that Bellmont has, but they were running clocked by 3 ACAC schools this season - 2 of those finished in the bottom half of the conference standings. 

Regardless, this is a 2A thread. I find it hard to believe that no one from Brownstown or Linton has anything to say about the regional rematch from last year. Do the Miners stand a chance? Looks like it was a fun one last year judging by the score.

[temptation]

Updated title odds, because I like punishment...

1.  Brownstown Central - 30%

2. Andrean - 25%

3. Adams Central - 20%

4. Lapel - 15%

5. Linton - 4%

6. Indianapolis Lutheran - 3%

7. Eastbrook - 2%

8. Southmont - 1%

Same…rematch of last years classic and no one is saying a word?? I miss MinerPride and his contributions to the site. 

I gotta believe in the law of averages and that the Braves get it done this year. They are GOOOD and haven’t really been challenged this year.
