CIC Week 2

[NeonDeion]

Rough, rough start for the Central Indiana boys. 1-7 in the conference, and the one win was a 4-point game against a team with 142 straight losses. On to Week 2. 

Sheridan at Alexandria - Alexandria outplayed Greenfield-Central for 45 minutes but couldn't finish. They'll figure it out this week. Alex wins 49-28. When was the last time an Alex back sat at roughly 500 yards after week 2? Wyatt Fuller might be flirting with it by Saturday morning. 

Wes-Del at Blackford - Wes-Del gets another one, but not by 70. Blackford plays them tougher, I'm hoping. Wes-Del wins 35-14. 

FW Concordia at Eastbrook - Adamson & Co fix went wrong last week and take it out on Concordia. Kelly is going to be tough with a few more starts under his belt.

Elwood at Tri-Central - I feel like these two are sister programs. Sad that both of these programs have fallen to where they currently are. Tri-Central wins a slugfest, 16-6. 

Lapel at Frankton - Lapel looked really good against Hamilton Heights, and Frankton not so much against Tipton. In my opinion, Lapel has a great chance to represent the north in 2A. 

Madison-Grant at Southwood - Madison-Grant was the only winner, narrowly escaping Bellmont. They'll bully Southwood and have their way again this week. Bud's boys won't have much for Brady's. MG wins 35-7

Mississinewa at Marion - Mississinewa had ugly, old tendencies show with 100+ penalty yards. Like Alexandria, I felt like they outplayed Norwell and just came up short. No Mondays is weird to see as well. Marion won't put up much of a fight, and the Tribe gets things rolling early. Mississinewa wins 42-7. 

Oak Hill at Norwell - Oak Hill played a tough Eastern team really well. Sectional 35 will be fun with those two and Tipton squaring off. Oak Hill gets it right this week and wins 34-21.

Alex and Sheridan--Sheridan is trying to rebuild after the termination of Bud Wright.  Alex is better than last year and should win this one with ease.
 

Eastbrook and Concordia--Eastbrook took a loss last week to Huntington North which hasn't happened often.  Concordia has potential but Eastbrook is just too much and rights the ship this week.

Elwood and Tri-Central--Both programs are struggling with numbers and this game may come down to who has the most players still playing.  Elwood gets the win.

Frankton and Lapel--Lapel is very good again this year.  Frankton is still a lot like the past but without the Statue of Liberty in the playbook.  Lapel takes the W.

Madison-Grant and Southwood--Bud Wright will have the Knights ready to play.  MG either really is struggling or Bellmont has improved that much.  In the end MG sneaks by for a narrow victory to remain undefeated.

Mississinewa and Marion--Ole Miss took a hard loss and first opening game loss in a few years.  Marion has some talent but a lot of young players including a freshman QB.  Mississinewa snaps back and takes it to Marion for a big win.

Oak Hill and Norwell--This will be a good game.  Norwell beat Ole Miss last week and Oak Hill lost to a very good Eastern team.  This game could go into OT but Oak Hill pulls out a narrow victory.

Side note, this might be the first time that only 1 CIC school won opening week.  I can't remember the last time that only 1 school won in week 1.

Sheridan at Alex - Alex wins the home opener on their new turf.  

Wes-Del at Blackford - Warriors with the win...running clock in the 2nd half.

Concordia at Eastbrook - Panthers get in the win column heading into conference play.

Elwood at Tri-Central - Trojans...but it will be close.  Still pulling kids out of the hallway in Week 2 doesn't lead to wins.  How many more conference games will they not play?

Lapel at Frankton - Lapel with the win...running clock in the 2nd half.

Madison-Grant at Southwood - MG with the win by 3 scores and goes into conference play with momentum.  CIC schedule prepares them well for 1A tourney

Mississinewa at Marion - Ole Miss comes out ready and puts this one away early

Oak Hill at Norwell - Eagles go into conference play winless, but only need to be playing best ball by the end of the year.  Bold prediction...they will win the conference and a sectional this year.

I was wondering the same. According to my good friend ChatGPT, 2009 was the last time it happened. Eastbrook beat South Adams 26-18.

Any feedback on these? I used the most recent reference images I could find.

[NeonDeion]

@hhpatriot04, all of those look accurate except Oak Hill. They do a gold helmet with a white logo and navy accents. It is really, really similar to the gold that MG uses for their helmet. Pretty sure the Grant County faithful refer to one as Vegas Gold (MG) and one as Old Gold (OH).

Don't forget about the chain stripe!

The "O" links creating their chain stripe are a cool touch. Not a huge OH fan, but I do like that.

Thanks for the input.

That's almost impossible to do. I've tried on other designs, but I'll try again. They are likely to get a thick blue stripe down the crown of the helmet.
