INSC Week 4

[cornfed]

Conference play kicks off this week. 

Takeaways from first three out-of-conference weeks.

Top tier: Knox, Tippy Valley, Bremen

Knox: Post Myles era has started off 0-3. No longer the heavy conference favorite. Solid strength of schedule with their opening three games and Radtke will always figure out a way to keep his team competitive. Huge game right off the bat this week with TV will go long way into determining conference.

Tippy Valley: Solid football team that was supposed to drop off from last year, but I’d say they’re actually a better overall team this year. Played right with powerhouse Adam’s Central right until 4 mins left in 4th quarter. 

Bremen: The turnaround might be here a year earlier than many thought. Really weak opening three opponents, but they did what a good team is supposed to do against lower level opponents. Last week of season against Tippy may be for the conference.

Bottom Tier:

Jimtown: Better than last year, but still a little behind Knox, TV, and what looks to be a surging Bremen.

Glenn: See Jimtown, but further behind Jimtown.

Laville: Thacker implementing the flex bone triple option is going to take a minute. Laville is the perfect fit for him and that style.

Week 4 games:

Tippecanoe Valley @ Knox

Laville @ Bremen

Jimtown @ Glenn

Thoughts on these helmets? Main thing is: are they accurate to what teams are wearing in 2026?

Appreciate any input.

Don't think Knox should be top tier anything after losing to Pioneer and getting smacked by Judson and CMA. Knox will be lucky to win 3 games this year. Tippy and Bremen will roll until they meet. Should be a barn burner

They all look pretty accurate to me.

I don’t necessarily disagree but their recent run the last 4 years and Radtke’s resume gives them the benefit of the doubt to be placed in top tier until they prove they’re not - IMO

TV - 21 Knox - 18

Knox is not an 0-4 team. They are big and physical and will be a tough out in 2A. They switched to an under center power I based run game in this one and they found something there. Gave TV all they wanted and then some.

Bremen - 49 Laville - 7

Laville still trying to figure things out and Bremen rolled.

Jimtown - 20 Glenn - 13

Jimtown was just too physical for Glenn. Glenn has some athletes and should be better than this.
