ptr Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Bloomington South at No. 3? I don't know about that. They are a huge question mark going into the season as an independent this season with significant graduation losses on both sides of the ball. It will be on to the Hoosier Hills Conference after this season. Quote

But I think there will always be something off when it comes to Maxpreps. I've always said that the best polls are right here on the GID. Quote

23andCounting Posted August 8 Posted August 8 (edited) 8 hours ago, Rodney said: how is snider this year Probably at Top 10 team in 5A. Top 5 if their offensive line comes together. The SAC is solid this year (lots of D1 talent, just not at Snider). They could lose five or six regular season games and still be a good 5A team. But make no mistake, the goal over there is winning a state title. Historically, it's takes a couple of years to recover from a season like they had last year. I think when it's all said and done with, Snider will be a serious threat in the North. New Pal and Cathedral might be on an island of their own this season with regard to winning the whole thing. Time will tell. Gimmie Lafayette Jeff as the pre-season front runner to represent the North. Edited August 8 by 23andCounting Quote

I don't recall Snider ever having a year like the one in 2025, first losing regular season losing record in their 50+ year history? It seemed to be a total collapse of the program. Hopefully they can get back to being a team to compete. Think they have a really good back returning, not sure about the QB. Quote

Maybe a one year "total collapse." But let's not forget that they finished the year with a win over North Side and should have beaten Northrop. I felt like their QB did pretty well to end last season. If they shore up the offensive line, they'll make a deep run in 5A. Their skill guys and defense will make them dangerous regardless......it all comes down to the offensive line. Quote

Agreed and senior leadership. Is this team heavy with seniors? I think last year's summer practice fiasco hurt them as well. Never heard what came of that. Quote

Komets2727 Posted Monday at 12:06 AM Posted Monday at 12:06 AM Word is that the offensive line is undersized again which will cause problems. Plenty of skill players, defense should be solid, but it is all about the line. QB options are quick, but passing the ball could be a struggle. Really good running backs, a couple good receivers. I could see a 7-2 season, but I could also see a 3-6 season. First 2 games will tell quite a bit, at Warsaw and East Noble at home, which is the grand opening of the football stadium. 1 Quote
Boilernation Posted 48 minutes ago Posted 48 minutes ago How about the top 3 in this poll scheduling some big out of state games with teams we don't see often vs. Indiana? Love seeing 2 of them against the powerful Chicago Catholic League. The CCL won State in the top 5 Classes in Illinois last year. The private/public debate is a hot topic in Chicagoland. Would love to see Indiana wins in these. Wheaton St. Francis @ New Palestine in Week 1: Most statewide polls I see for Indiana and Illinois have both of these teams around 5 in their respective states. St. Francis went 11-3 last year and beat fellow CCL member Providence Catholic in the 5A Title game. Loyola Academy @ Cathedral in Week 2: The Ramblers were 4-5 last year, but are a traditional power in the CCL. They are in the very wealthy Chicago Northshore Suburbs and have no local competition from the CCL at the higher end. They don't get the southside talent that CCL rival Mt. Carmel gets, but they have the market cornered on north suburban talent. They are a likely Top 3-5 team in 8A this year. Loyola beat St. Francis 43-21 in Week 2 last year after beating Merrillville 21-14 in Week 1. The Pirates had a 2-0 lead going into the 4th Bloomington South @ Ironton in Week 7: The Panthers will make the long drive to coal country on the border of Ohio / West Virginia to take on the famed Ironton Fighting Tigers. Irongton was 9-1 last year and disbarred from playing in the Ohio Division 5 playoff due to recruiting violations. IMG @ New Palestine in Week 8: I know we saw IMG recently at Ben Davis. Still seems odd to see them on New Pal's schedule. Man, that's ballsy. 4A roster vs. National All Star Team Akron Hoban @ Cathedral in Week 9: I can't think of anyone recently playing the perennial Division 2 powerhouse in Ohio. The Knights were the Division 2 Runner-Up least season. Quote
