Looks like a crapshoot to me. But I'm all the way up here in NE Indiana, hard to offer much in the way of an opinion. Good luck to both teams. Great programs.

60 percent chance of Gibson Southern blowing out the Patriots. 

Their offense is unreal and impossible to simulate the speed of.

I have to fix this damn thing every year!

This is the 55th meeting between Heritage Hills and Gibson Southern, with the Patriots leading the all-time series 36-18. The Patriots also faced the three schools that consolidated to form Gibson Southern during the 1972 and 1973 seasons, going 0-2 against Jack Jewell's Fort Branch Twigs, 1-1 against Haubstadt and 2-0 against Owensville.

In the first season of Patriot football, Heritage Hills went 9-1, with its only loss coming 15-12 to Jewell's Fort Branch Twigs. The Jack Jewell-led Titans won the first three meetings of the Heritage Hills-Gibson Southern series, defeating Roger Snow's Patriots in 1974, 1975 and 1976. The Patriots didn't earn their first win in the series until 1977, the same year Bob Ashworth became Heritage Hills' head coach. That season was also Hall of Famer Bob Clayton's only year as offensive coordinator at Heritage Hills. Ashworth moved on to Evansville Reitz the following season, and Clayton took over the Heritage Hills program.

Gibson Southern has won 14 of the last 23 meetings, a stretch that began with Rick Stefanich's 35-34 win in 2010 that snapped Heritage Hills' streak of 21 consecutive wins over the Titans. Heritage Hills and Gibson Southern have played five overtime games in the series, including the famous 7-0 five-overtime game in 1982.

In the Nick Hart/Todd Wilkerson era, Hart's Titans lead the series 13-8. Since Hart took over at Gibson Southern in 2012, the rivalry has included several postseason rematches and dramatic finishes.

While I didn't go over this super close, the numbers you have highlighted are the same numbers that I have.  

 

Maybe the graphic will be correct.  🤣 That'd be ironic.  Dave is seldom (almost never) wrong, and the graphic might be right?  We will see....more to come.

I was mostly teasing...I GS-afied it!

Fort Branch "Twigs" is one of the best Indiana H.S. mascot names ever.  The Gibson Southern consolidation should have kept it instead of the rather generic Titans moniker.  Maybe "Elite Twigs" to also roll in the Haubstadt mascot.

The Toyota Twigs has a nice ring to it.

Does the football field have the Toyota logo on it?  How about the Titan's uniforms?

You've inspired me to create a Toyota T helmet with the Gibson Southern colors. Thank you.

They have actually completely screwed our school corporation (I am very close to the Fort Branch Town Council President)....but that's a story for another thread.  You love Government Muda.....let's start a TIF And Tax abaitment thread!

All three schools in the consolidation into GS had great mascots - Ft. Branch Twigs, Owensville Kickapoos and Haubstadt Elites. Instead of the Titans, GS should be the Elite Kickatwigs
