I REALLY think this is their chance to make it happen. I also REALLY think they will make it happen. But man, they've gotta SHOW ME ONE time! I thought, from watching Jeff vs Concord that Jeff looked more equipped to "upset" Merrillville but Concord is no slouch. They've got some playmakers! Going to be an exciting one for the 5A North Semi-State.

I should've changed the Cascade pick when I learned about the Gibson Southern QB and I would have picked Merrillville if it was any round but Semi-State, realistically. Lol could've been right there with ya. Heritage Hills was always gonna be my upset special, couldn't of been more wrong though. 🤣

Cascade's SOS gave me pause even with the injury to Gibson Southern's QB.

Lesson learned.
