footballer_02 Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Thoughts from HNAC fans/followers which game do you expect to be closer - Knox/Marian or Chesterton/Pioneer? Quote

How long is the grass on the field at Royal Center? 😉 Could have a significant effect on the outcome. Also, I agree depth will be a big issue ... especially since the forecast calls for it to be very warm. Edited August 24, 2020 by Bobref Quote

Some people call The Pit the best field in Royal Center, some call it the Taj Mahal of the west... But yes, the grass will probably be long, not to slow Chesterton down, just because our field is what the rest of the state calls awful. 1 1 Quote

Hope the mower didn't break. 2 Quote

The maintenance staff has done a pretty good job overall keeping up with it. What you cant see in the picture is the trail of dead grass spots where it is bare dirt from mole runs all along the visitor sideline. Losing in the first round of sectionals last year really helped the maintenance staff get a head start on the field this off season 🙂 1 Quote

FarmerFran Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 250 for home stands and 250 for the visitors. As far as I am aware no tickets will be sold at the gate for varsity games, but I'm not sure how JV will work? Quote

AG Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Does anyone know what formation Chesterton runs on offense and defense? All that I've heard is that they have a pretty good QB. Quote

All that I've heard is that they have a pretty good QB. Watching some highlights on YouTube and it looks like multiple formations on offense all from the gun. They have 6’6” WR Warren who is pretty athletic and fast for his size. Not sure what they run on defense. Quote

Both Garrett (3A) and Leo (4A) became available with Angola and DeKalb cancelling the next two weeks for quarantine after a DeKalb player tested postive. Unfortunaley for the HNAC teams looking for opponents, I would bet/guess Garret and Leo might end up playing each other this week instead. Garret could have been a good replacement opponent for either Triton or LaVille IMO. Quote

Winamac does play North White next week.. I wonder if Itll be their senior night. LaVille i hear should be good to go week 4 from what i hear. Edited August 27, 2020 by TheStatGuy Quote
