NE Indiana Power Poll - Week 2

[23andCounting]

1.   Dwenger - Wins matter, and Dwenger got a big one last night. They destroyed St. Francis DeSales in the Glass Bowl in Toledo. The Saints keep marching on. 

2.  Carroll - Carroll took the three hour trip and went toe to toe with the Trojans in a game that was closer than the score indicated. At the end of the day, they still lost by 25 points. And........they're 0-1 vs Dwenger dating back to last season. So here they sit.............for now. 

3.  East Noble - They beat Snider on their opening night at Russ Isaacs Stadium. Sure, they were the recipients of several Snider miscues, but good teams are good at taking what's given to them. And the Knights are a good team. 

4.  Homestead - Easy choice here. Good looking win against Noblesville last night. Don't sleep on them Spartans. 

That was the easy part. This is where it gets messy. Wins matter at this point.

5.  Eastside - Massive Jump in the rankings with a quality win over Adams Central. 

6.  Huntington North - Wins matter, and the Vikings wrapped up another one over Garrett. 

7.  Adams Central - Not going to pull the plug on them just yet. They lost to a really good team last night. 

8.  Columbia City - Lost by one point to a very good Northridge team last night. Not dropping this team from the Top 10. 

9.  Dekalb - 2-0 teams in NE Indiana are scarce, but the Barons are one of them. And both quality wins. 

10. Bluffton - Outscored first two opponents 42-6. 

10.  Snider - After a sloppy first half, their domination of East Noble in the second half was eye opening last night. 

11.  North Side - Need to see more. Blowout win over New Haven isn't enough. 

12. Northrop  - Only lost by one to Warsaw. But really, how good is Warsaw?

13. Bishop Luers - Lost to two quality opponents. They're still dangerous.

14. Angola - Need to see more. Decent looking team so far. 

15. Leo - Lots of football left. Chatard is a nightmare for anyone.

First team out: South Side

I like your Homestead positioning. 

North Side gets a bad rap, but I like their upside. If these kids amp it up for Jaylon Smith and play for Ben Johnson's honor, they could be a tough out...........even in the sectional they are in. Jaylon Smith has that likability, similar to Marcus Freeman. Could be interesting.

BIG prove it game for North Side on Friday vs. Northrop.  Probably the best game in the Fort Wayne area on Friday.

Northrop has a lot to prove themselves. A one point loss to Warsaw tells me nothing about their program. I still haven't decided if Warsaw is good or not.
