Just save resources and give the trophy to Penn, mark em' 9-0 going into sectionals and have them scrimmage against themselves every Friday night for a couple of months. They made Mishawaka look like a JV team. Only team in this conference that might belong on the same field as them is Elkhart and I'm not even sure of that. 

This past Friday was a wake up call to where the cougar program is. Last season was going to be a down year regardless who was coaching, we just lost so much production there was no maintaining where we were for the last handful of years. I saw the cougars against Laporte and I didn't think we looked bad at all, we weren't winning trophies but we looked like an average to average 4A school. I figured we'd be competitive against Northwood after what I saw and when I heard Northwood lost 45-7 to Columbia City I was honestly expecting a solid NP victory over the panthers. Being down 37-0 at the half to NW was humbling and raising questions. Also heard from a couple people 5-6 senior starters quit the team, don't know if it's true or not but it would make sense given the on-field product.
