@Donnie Baker and I were on a Zina bender.  Phew.  Thought we missed something.

So, you have Luers odds at 55% and Cascade at 45% yet Cascade is at #7 and Luers at #9… that last 6 pack was rough on me, but make it make sense…🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Yeah, Luers’ 9-5 record holds em back a little.  It’s a resume of what’s happened.

Also, gotta pick 1-2 upsets this weekend, right?

I think there is a very real possibility that all 6 south teams win at LOS this weekend.

Nothing would surprise me, even the North going 6-0. 

Luers got off to a slow start this year. One can only wonder how good they would be if Northrop didn't recruit a couple of their players.

It’s why I say every year about Luers, it doesn’t matter what happens in the regular season since they play up all year, come playoff time, they are a favorite to go to state

Doubtful, more looking at 3-3 for me…

My thought at the beginning of the season was this: If Luers was a state title contender in 3A, this would have been the year they beat Snider. For them to get blanked by Snider one week after Warsaw and East Noble dumped almost 70 points on the Panthers told me that this just may not be a great year for the Knights. That's where I stood then, but I do think Luers is one of those teams that is drastically improved from the beginning of the season. Kudos to them.

You’ve got Dwenger over Roncalli I assume?

[Komets2727]

Classes 1-4 could go either way, 5 is South, and 6 is slightly South

And Wayne took several more. Starters. Including QB.  But, that is the way it goes.  Sometimes kids transfer in, sometimes kids transfer out.  It is what it is and they just gotta go with the goers.

It's just ugly if you ask me. Gross negligence on the part of the IHSAA.
