Heritage Hills 10-1 @ Jasper 9-2--Sectional 24 4A Championship

[HHPatriots]

These are old rivals that unfortunately don't get to play anymore--now our scrimmage partner.  There is quite a history between these 2 schools and they both see red when playing each other.  Not much love here.  Looking forward to next Friday!

Since the all-in playoffs started in 1985 this is the 27th time the Patriots have advanced to the Championship game of sectional.

Both the Patriots and Wildcats are among the all-time leaders in sectional titles in the Evansville area.

4A Polls

AP Jasper is ranked 11th & Heritage Hills 4th

USA Today Jasper is ranked 9th and Heritage Hills 3rd

IFCA Jasper is unranked, and Heritage Hills is ranked 2nd

This season Jasper is averaging 31.6 ppg and giving up 14.4 ppg and the Patriots are averaging

51.2 ppg and giving up 9.8 ppg.

The 2 teams only have 2 common opponents Boonville and Reitz

Jasper beat Boonville 14-0 and Heritage Hills beat Boonville 37-12.

Jasper beat Reitz 20-14 and Heritage Hills beat Reitz 31-14.

This is the 26th meeting between Heritage Hills and Jasper and the Patriots lead the series 14-11.

Jasper and Heritage Hills played in the regular season in the 1978 and 1979 seasons and the

Wildcats won both meetings. The 1979 Patriot loss was a tough one, because a win would

have given the Patriots their first unbeaten season and clinched

a playoff berth. After the 1979 season Jasper was replaced on the Patriot schedule

with North Knox who joined the PAC for a brief period. The Patriots went 10-0 that year,

but without Jasper on the schedule the Patriots played too many 1A schools and didn't earn

enough points for a playoff berth. The Patriots and Wildcats didn’t meet again until Jasper

dropped to 3A from 1993-1996 and they split the four sectional matchups. After Jasper moved

back to 4A, the two teams wouldn't meet again until the regular season series resumed in 2001

The Patriots won the 2001 game knocking off the eventual 4A state champion Wildcats.

After the win in 2001, the Patriots won the next 6 meetings to take a 9-4 series lead.

Starting with an 18-0 win in 2008 Jasper won 6 of the next 7 meetings to tie the series at 10-10

& the Patriots have won 4 of the last 5 meetings.

Weird, right?  Why is that so?

We certainly have a past and I have no doubt we will get their best.  A buddy in Jasper asked me for my score prediction....I said 24 - 17.  I think it will be close and uncomfortable.  Many don't think so, that is part of what got us beat against GS--"oh, we will be fine".

[fenderbender]

How many does HH have going both ways?   Moving forward in 4A, I wonder if that will be a factor.

If everyone is healthy (big IF) I think at the end it'll be a HH in a 2 score game.  I'm glad HH finally got W in a close 4 qtr contest last week.  All that being said, as was very evident last week, these Patriots are not immune to mental lapses.  Looking for it to be close going into the 4th qtr.  Hoping them Patriots learned some big lessons last week, come into Brewer "HOMERDOME" Field sharp, and run away with it early.  Can't wait for Friday night!

We all know the elephant in the room. The Pats aren't a one-trick pony - BUT - if that one pony is hobbled up - it is a complete game-changer and gives the Wildcats a good chance. 

 

[TommyTwoTimes]

Right.   Just like any other high school team blessed enough to still be on the field in November, having a great Plan A, Plan B, C, and D is crucial to winning championships.

Kind of feeds into my comments about playing both ways due to roster size.  I think 4A is where roster size/platooning starts to become a thing.  Was surprised HH had only 44 kids per max preps.

All down to coaching.  There is not a single person that makes or breaks this game.  The coaches have to have them mentally prepared, we got the horses, but must have the mentality.  When 1 person is bigger than the program, things will fall apart.  Get your head right and go.

I'm most interested to see HH open up the playbook as they advance. I think there's about one third of the offense that hasn't been revealed. Now, those plays might still have to go through Jett, but let's see!

Sure...we all agree football is the ultimate team game - but to act like not having or having a limited Mr. Football candidate won't impact the game is just asinine. The Pats may very well still win - they are THAT good, but they might not.

I didn't say not having him wouldn't impact, but you always need to adapt to life without key players.  After all, this is football and season ending injuries happen all the time.  We were obviously not prepared mentally for Jett exiting the game last week.  Figure it out, adapt, move on.

The real question is.....is Jasper concessions any good? 🤔

While this is an interesting conversation it will likely stay hypothetical.

The defending state champs from the 2 PAC vs a team from the lowly SIAC that hasn’t won a sectional since the players had baby teeth. 
 

HH wins this one getting off the bus.

2 PAC....I see what you did there.  Agree though....Jasper should have joined the PAC instead.

And a river of Busch Light if you know where to look.  Nothing quite like Dubois County, and I'm thankful for that.

You say that every run.  2014, 2019 etc.  I'm not sure the apocrapha of HH playbooks exists LOL

The opening of the playbook in 2014 is what sent your Titans home with a loss in the regular season. Wishbone running back pass for the win. The lack of motion/eye candy used in our offense this year is interesting. Need to keep linebackers eyes off of #3 imo
