FarmerFran Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Who are the guy that you think will be breakout players for your team this year? For Pioneer, I expect junior Brock Robinson to be a 2-way stand out at DB as well as at running back. He will be competing for touches with the Lewellen boys, but is very good with the ball in his hands. Pioneer will also be starting freshman Cayden Hill at QB and potentially at DB as well. He has some maturing to do mentally, but should be able to help out more and more as the season progresses.

Knox has the edge entering the season, but wouldn't sleep on Laville giving them a run for their money. As always, you can't count out Pioneer either. Laville's watch - Doyle, Dill, E. Bettcher, AJ Bedock & G. Wagoner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCurtain88 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Lewellen won’t get the nod at QB? Are you kidding me? That has been Pioneers most productive position for years and their going to groom a freshman. I’m not buying it. Or it will last less than last year test of a new QB. Having Lewellen as QB just gives them a threat and an extra blocker, don’t change something that isn’t broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken, they return about 95% of their roster. With the add of Radtke and the amount of experience they have coming back, they're looking for a great run.

cpg1970 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 LaVille has a lot of 3-4 year players and experience on this team will benefit them throughout the year. Should be favorite in the conference and Andrew Dill should be a breakout player for them. He should be the featured back and get a huge number of carries. Czarnecki has really developed into a great safety, plus is a weapon with his leg. Doyle will be a seasoned QB and OLB and with Bettcher playing a bigger role for them, it should be a big year.

Laville will always have the same question going into every season, can they beat a “good” team? They haven’t been able to to in the Hostrawer regime. Winamac will be better just with the coaching change, so it should be a good year in the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laville seems to crumble in the big games. Coach Hostrawser coaches defense and let's his assistants take over the offense is what I've read on here. Have to wonder if a change is in order for that. Will be a tough year in the conference as the middle tier teams like North Judson and Winamac also return quite a bit on their rosters.

No way. Will come down to pioneer or Knox. Laville hasn't played physical enough to hang with them last few years and won't change this year.

Plymouthfan91 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I don't get to see a these teams play but I will say that the HNAC looks like a pretty good conference to watch this season. I teach with a guy who was previously at Knox and he said they will have their best team ever this year. if we end up with a bye week hopefully I can go over and watch some HNAC games.

I think this may be the most competitive year overall in the conference....so here is hoping that we all get through it without interruptions.

DumfriesYMCA Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Logan Murfin for Gibson Southern he finished last year among the other WRs with.... 28 receptions (4th on team) 502 yards (3rd on team) 6 touchdowns (3rd on team) very solid year but he had 3 very talented Seniors to battle with for targets and was productive in the reps he did get rotating in. Now that they have graduated, he seems primed to take over as one of the top targets. We all know about Brady Allen and how good of a QB he is, so with easily 130+ targets becoming vacant. He is a senior so it’s more/less a later breakout but he had a very productive year last year none the less and should improve greatly upon his performance. who knows though. Gibson Southern could find themselves throwing a lot more this year with the new schedule. In the game against Southport they passed the ball 30 times. I could see the titans throwing it more than 300 times this year without the need for a deeper playoff run. should they make it as far as LOS I think 400-500 pass attempts is well within range...which is A LOT for a high school team. So with this might see some of the other kids get a lot of volume and breakout. But I like this Murfin kid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt after last season ended they could go on a run with John but now they have Coach Radtke.. I think if season is fully played.. Knox could be the team that represents the 3A North.

I think this kid has a better arm than the Lewellen boy. Both Lewellens and Smith should be a solid backfield.. Will be curious to see how Hill does along with the Robinson boy.

They haven’t been able to to in the Hostrawer regime. Winamac will be better just with the coaching change, so it should be a good year in the conference. As far as Winamac..the rough 3 year patch where overall numbers and less talented classes are over. I wish Barr had a chance to Coach this years team but he was the fall guy.. No matter who coached the team the last 3 years was going to be let go. Coach John Hendryx will come in with better numbers (class of 2022 and 2024 were always bigger classes) and more expierenced squad. Dakota Podell, Kyle Olds and Logan Schultz will probably anchor the line. All 3 will be entering their 3rd year being starters. Russell Compton has thrown for over 1,000 yards last two years and will be in his 3rd year. Trent Fox ran for over 700 and Brayden Lynch received over 700 both will be in their 2nd year of starting on O. Fox started on D as soph. Cale Pesaresi will be in his 3rd year starting on D. Patrick Kiefer is back but im not sure what hell be able to play due to being 95 percent blind in an eye...had he not missed all last year..hed be another OL that would be in his 3rd year of varsity. I think Winamac will have 4 kids have "break out" years. Juniors Kicker Max Murray.. Linebacker Beau Brandt and skilled juniors Jaden Terry and Hayden Clark. Max will be in his 3rd year of being the kicker (missed first 6 games last year).. Hayden will be in his 3rd year (missed last 7 games last year) of varsity (2nd on offense, 3rd defense).. Beau and Jaden will be first year starters on offense more than likely but 2nd on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Interested in what the CG contingent on the board has to say about Brandon Wheat? I know they have their workhorse in Steele, but this kids speed shouldn’t be left on the sideline. Will he spare Carson or do they have a special package for him? Position switch? On a team that has over a half dozen guys ready to play at the next level, this guy should not be forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All do respect here cpg1970 . . . Throw the dawg in the yard a bone! Doyle is one of 2 QBs in the HNAC that threw for over 1,000 yards last season. Just thought I'd add that to the love that Coach Hostrawser's boys are getting here. Wow! Don't get me wrong, but that is nice to see. LaVille FB has improved a bunch over the last few years. The senior class does have talent and they are a hungry bunch of Lancers! as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobref Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Is the Powlus kid going to play at Penn this year? He’s had a pretty quiet career, I believe due to injury. Will he make some noise in his senior season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldschoolFB Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Bishop Dwenger. Brendon Lytle will be amazing. He has skill to be one of best QBs in the state. So will Devon Tippmann and Vinnie Fiacable who are already well known as some of best on State. New names that should do very well...KJ Tippmann, Sam Pesa, Callan Stauffer, Michael Finley, Jon and Joe Fabini, Adam Lee and Gavin Groves, Jack Tippmann and Rocco Ciocca and Ben Simcox. The most electrifying kid on the team? Henry O Keefe. My nephew played against him when they were younger and I’ve followed him. If they use him correctly, he will be one of the best on the State.
