Looks good. 

Switch Carroll and DC.

Drop Penn to #20.

Replace Mishawaka with Dwenger. That being said, I think the north is a toss up with East Noble, Dwenger, and Mishawaka.

Nah, love that you’re willing to put it out there.

[SAC_Coach]

@temptation curious why East Noble does not move or Dwenger get a bump when you compare their Leo scores when Sagrain jumped Dwenger significantly. 

East Noble 56 - Leo 40

Dwenger 31 - Leo 7

Leo didn’t score until under 2 minutes to go. 
 

@23andCounting How was the atmosphere at the game? What were your in person thoughts of the game?

I bet I can think of a team we can remove to put dwenger there.

Great atmosphere, would have liked to have seen a few more Dwenger fans show up, but that's the world of the internet we live in. The fans who did show were pretty loud though. Perfect night for football. Dwenger's defense was just too much for Leo. The Lions put together a couple good drives, one ending with a blocked field goal, the other ending with a fumble. They couldn't take advantage of the opportunities when they got them, mostly because Dwenger's D just didn't allow it. Dwenger's offense, while not looking overly dominant, did what they needed to do. The final score was pretty much indicative of how the game went. Saints the better team by far.

Dwenger’s defense is legit. My hesitancy on them is offense, but putting up 31 points on Leo tells me quite a bit. I got them by 10 points over East Noble right now should they meet

I've got East Noble and Dwenger dead even, but I hope you're right. I'm pulling for the Saints this year. I felt all year that Dwenger had a 6A state title defense and a 2A state title offense (equates to above average 4A). That being said, I guess we'll see what happens.

Temp do you think if HSE and Carroll played again it would be a different game?

What is the spread at Carroll or at HSE?

I do, because if I am not mistaken, HSE’s starting QB is done for the season.

I’d say +/- 3 either way.

I was not aware of that. 

Does HSE have enough to get by Homestead, with their QB out? Might be a dumb question.

If I am not mistaken, he was hurt in week 4 against Fishers.

They gave Westfield all they could handle in week 5 and have gone 2-3 without him.

Do with that info what you will.  I think they still get past Homestead.

With their staring QB in, and Carroll's best offensive weapon out, HSE won at home by 7. Subtract HSE's QB, add Carroll's best player, and you still have HSE as potentially a 3 point favorite? Let's just say Carroll by three. Any chance of that at all?

At Carroll?  Sure.

I imagine HSE is good enough to beat Homestead with their backup QB. I have them as a 28-35 point favorite healthy. I say they still win the game by 10-14.

Lol, good grief. I think you're just f***ing with me on purpose now.

I mean, I’ve got em 11th/17th respectively in my latest poll.

Not sure what else you want me to say.

They played Westfield to a 4 point loss with their backup QB in his first start.

Starter headed to Duke.

So they should still smash Homestead by 35.

Wouldn't it be something if Homestead wins that game? What a fun Saturday morning that "could" be.

Not sure I believe you. I know you're a fan of the HCC.

It would be a big win for Homestead and Coach Zolman. He's a great guy to lead your program, he just can't seem to get Homestead over the hump. Not gonna hold my breath, I've got HSE by multiple scores.

Not a fan of anyone.  Just call it like I see it.

More of a fan of statewide parity…I’ve been outspoken about that since my first days here.
