Games for week 6 in the WRC. Headliner is South Vermillion @ Parke Heritage for sure. Really interested in that game. Biggest game of the season in the WRC and probably the biggest game left in the season until sectionals.

NV. May be a down year for the Falcons but still to tough for the Ramblers. 
 

Covington wins big over a sad South Newton team.

Seeger wins big, boys out at half. 
 

Cloverdale over the panthers. Long season for RP

Now the game of the week.

PH over the cats by 2-3 touchdowns. PH seems to have more weapons to choose from. Has PH pulled out all their plays or do they have some held back for this game? Will they run the ball to make SV have to cover the receivers one on one? If that’s the case could be a big game for the Johnson boys and rest of the gang. Does SV cover the receivers and leave the middle open? Will be interesting to see. 
 

But SV has something to prove. Did they just have a bad game, or was Sullivan’s defense that much better that shut down the powerful offense of SV? Did the players and coaches under estimate Sullivan? Or did they just not focus on this game and were already looking forward to the PH game? I can’t imagine Barrett letting that happen. Was anyone at this game to give any insight to it? Looking at the stats listed. I’m surprised that SV didn’t use their talent more to pass. Was the QB hurt? Hopefully not. Doesn’t seem like this was the type of game to only throw The ball 16 times. This is where big time players take over. 
 

Hopefully we have some good  conversation this week on the forum. Makes Friday’s get here a lot faster.

Week 6 is finally upon us!  Although it may have lost a little of it’s luster with the D1’s losing to Sullivan.  
 

Do we know yet if Attica is playing this week?  I guess we can assume they are which means they think they can win.  Won’t work out for them this time.  NV 28, Attica 6.

Trojans can feel a little better after a pasting of the lowly Rebels.  Covington 68, SN 6

The Herbies are rolling.  Too bad their season opener got canceled.  Would’ve been nice to see how they stack up to the elite team in the WRC.  Seeger 54, FC 6

Even though the RP boys are out on the baseball field during the week, they will show up for Friday ready for their first win.  RP 38, Cloverdale 0

The Wolfs are a juggernaut and it appears they are hitting their stride.  The D1’s have to be licking their wounds from a bad loss at home to one of Sullivan’s worst team in years.  Originally I would’ve predicted this to be a very entertaining game.  I have changed my opinion on that.  The D1’s asked for some competition and got it last week.  This week, they had better be careful what they wish for.  The Wolfs are on a state record setting pace with the running clock.  They will look to extend that streak this week.  Wolfs 54, D1’s 14

Week 6 should be a dandy.

 

North Vermillion 28 Attica 14 - Say what you want about the Falcons, but they seem to get better every week. The Ramblers were lucky to beat a depleted Riverton Parke squad on a Monday night nearly a month ago and only scored 20 against Fountain Central. The Falcons are probably better than both.  

Covington 40 South Newton 20 - This game may be closer than some think. However, the Trojans seem to excel at chucking it all over lesser opponents. Maybe they could work on their run game a little while throwing all those passes against the Rebels? 

Seeger 56 Fountain Central 0 - Another week for the Patriots to work on their passing game. The Mustangs are just hoping they can get a good draw in the sectional opener to try for a win. (See Below)

Riverton Parke 3 Cloverdale 2 - Another game against a winless opponent for the Panthers. At some point they have to put it together. I'm hearing a lot of good things about their youth football program. If only their baseball players actually played football, they probably wouldn't be in such a position every year.  Clovers play hard, but can't muster any offensive prowess. 

South Vermillion 42 Parke Heritage 41 - It is the Wildcats' turn to play underdog and take out an unbeaten team this week. The Wolves have not played anyone who can actually score, let alone run offense for an extended period of time. The Wildcats can do both. Sullivan, down year or not, is a tougher opponent than people in the WRC realize. I don't think the Wolves are ready for this one.

I love taking a shot at predicting games.....so here I go...

NV 35 Attica 12

Covington 38 S Newton 18

Seeger 50 FC 6

RP 18 Cloverdale 12

SV 36 PH 33 ---- Wish I could go see this game! 

How good is South Putnams? Looks like they might be the best team in the sectional. Playing 3 and 4 As could be an advantage.

Hard to really say how good South Put is. The teams they have played have a combined record of 6-18 with 3 of those wins coming by Edgewood. Those were not against impressive teams either. The other 3 wins the teams picked up were against opponents with a records of roughly 1-19 I’m not saying PH schedule has been any tougher but right now looking at some undefeated teams it’s hard to say how good anyone really is. Everyone can be surprised at this point once they get some “competition” 

This week might show a little as South Put has West Vigo and PH has SV. Looks like South Puts only other game that would be interesting would be against
Heritage Christian. Not sure PH will have any other decent games after this week unless they can figure a way to play Seeger.

According to Sagarin, PH is worse.  Their SOS is 292 and South Put's is 230.  So PH has beaten up on teams and being called a "juggernaut" because playing a weak schedule allows you to do that.  They should finish the season at 9 and 0 and be challenged by no one.  They won't be challenged in the sectional either because it's mostly teams they will have beaten up on during the season.  The team they HAVE to beat is West Washington.  That is in the team in the south that NO ONE is talking about.  They are just as dominate over opponents as PH is.  So I see PH at least getting to the regional with no trouble.  Juggernaut?  Don't think so.  They had a chance to challenge themselves on their schedule and turned it down.  Hmmmmm.

I will have to check, but I thought the sectional they are in moved to the north? I thought there test would be against Indianapolis Lutheran in the north.  I know nothing about West Washington, but what I’ve seen in the schedule I can’t find a decent win on their schedule either. If that’s a strong team in the south I’m sure a lot of teams are hoping for that match up.

I already looked.  Some of the teams are from the WRC are in sectional 45.  And speaking of the WRC, I can't recall when this conference has had a more down year than this year.  There are usually 3 or 4 teams fighting for first place.   This year there are only 2 and everyone else is really having it tough.  Fountain Central winless?  Wow.  North Vermillion only one win?  Wow.  I am really shocked.   You are correct in that West Washington doesn't play anyone either.  I brought them up because like PH they are beating up on other teams but NO ONE is talking about them.  No one is calling them a "juggernaut" even though they have put up big numbers.  They went 12 and 2 last year so apparently they have a lot of guys back from that team.  I think they are every bit as strong as PH.  If they happen to meet in the tournament, it might be a VERY fun game and they might burn the lights out of the scoreboard.  LOL

This has to be the weakest WRC football top to bottom in years.  The top 2 teams are pretty good and everyone else (including the Herbies) are not.  Obviously the Wolfs have 1 team to worry about in their sectional.  It is a unique situation with South Putnam in the WIC, but them playing most of the weaker teams in that conference.  Hard to say how good they are.  The Wolfs would run into Indy Lutheran in the regional.  I don’t think that would be a cupcake game, but the Wolfs are a juggernaut!  And I would venture a guess that either of them would handle West Washington.  How about the D1’s and winning their sectional?  They have to be the hands down favorite in that field.  They may shoot off fire works down by the river for days if the D1’s were to win a football sectional.

The Woofs need to worry about South Putnams before playing in the regional.

I’m surprised so many people are picking the D1’s over the Wolfs?  I am pretty sure the Wolfs at the very least will outscore them.  But after last Friday’s dismal performance vs. Sullivan, I will be shocked if the D1’s don’t get ran right out of Rockville Friday.

Im not. I'm pretty sure Sullivan could do the same against Parke Heritage. Big difference between a decent 3A school and a good 1A school. But we'll never know because folks in Rockville like their cupcakes too much.

Sullivan had 547 students last count...3rd smallest in 3a.  D1’s had 544...largest 2a school in football.  Wolfs had 336 in the last count.  I don’t see an eye popping difference there?  Linton had 391 and they compete yearly with the Sullivan’s of the world.  The D1’s layed an egg last week.  How many D1 football players does Sullivan have on their roster?  The Wolfs would smoke Sullivan.

Thoughts.....

NV over Attica - Might be close for awhile, but Falcons seem to be adding players back and are certainly better than Rambler Dan.

Covington over South Newton - When was the last game SN won against a team from Indiana......its been awhile. 

Seeger over FC - Lots of pooping in Herb's yard this week...Will FC's coach challenge Herb to a bare chested wrestling match?

RP - Cloverdale - Ends in a tie.  Both remain winless

****The Matchup of the Year***** 

Parke Heritage will actually have to play a team that has more than a pulse.  The offense has put up video game numbers against non athletic video gamers and the defense has proved to be worse than last years with no real idea of how to stop anyone.

SV was in the same boat until the loss last week to Sullivan.  Areas got exposed and I am sure will be improved this week.  Losing is never good, but I think last week gave SV some much needed work against a decent team that hopefully makes them better.

Prediction:  SV 31. PH 27

I'll just throw this out here. I wouldn't be surprised if SV blows them out. PH hasn't played anyone worth a darn. They sound like a pretty good team but we don't know how good because they have played absolutely no one. I also wouldn't be surprised if PH blows SV out either. It could either way. But we'll find out just how good PH is. Either a pretender or contender.

This could be the worstest answer in GID history. I swear to God it is! PH will get blowed out. Or SV will get blowed out. Way to go out on a limb. I gotta go

I call BS. Score predictors predict a 3 point win by the Wolves over the Arrows and a 7 point win over the Wildcats. Hardly a smoking. Both of those, if we're using facts now, using the margin of error in those score predictors, are basically dead even games. 

So I'll stay with my original prediction. Wildcats 42 Wolves 41

As Keith Jackson always said..."That's why they play the games."

We shall talk again come Late Friday night or Saturday morning after the Wolfs run the D1’s out of Rockville.  Score predictors are useless except for striking up conversation about an upcoming game.  Serious question:  who will have more D1 athletes on the field Friday....D1’s or the Wolfs?

I think it will be a track meat. The Woofs DBs will have to slow down the big plays of SV. They also need to keep the ball on the ground if they can to keep the D1 offense on the sideline. Can’t score if they don’t have the ball. State law!

Attica at North Vermillion ©, 7 pm
Covington at South Newton, 7 pm
Fountain Central at Seeger ©, 7 pm
Riverton Parke at Cloverdale, 7 pm
South Vermillion at Parke Heritage ©, 7 pm

 

Games for week 6 in the WRC. Headliner is South Vermillion @ Parke Heritage for sure. Really interested in that game. Biggest game of the season in the WRC and probably the biggest game left in the season until sectionals. 

The WRC is certainly down this year compared to previous seasons, but there still is a rich history in the conference, and some of them will bounce back as the talent cycles.

Here's how I see your games for this week:

NV over Attica - NV seems to be getting healthy and better each week.  The Falcons probably need to win this game and the FC game to avoid the 1-win season, as PH & Seeger are probably favored over them in the coming weeks.  The Ramblers are on life support.  How many players do they have on the roster?  Anyway, I'll take the Falcons over my mom's alma mater by 24+.

Covington over South Newton - Do the Trojans still have that soft grass?  That was the softest field I ever set foot on, but of course that was 40 years ago, so it's probably changed a little since then.  The Rebels seniors have not won a football game in their HS careers.  They looked better when I saw them earlier this season, but they still have a way to go.  Rebels have a couple good linemen and a couple good backs, but the Trojans should still prevail.

Seeger over FC - This used to be the big game in the WRC, but not so much this year.  How many people know the Patriots were the Indians when the school opened?  I have seen the basketball warm-up that pops wore.  My picture is the helmet he wore for Seeger in the early 60s.  I have the helmet in my office now.  The Mustangs are nothing like the teams of old, at least not this year.  The Patriots should win this one easily.

RP over Cloverdale - Does anybody really know what time it is?  Does anybody really care?  Take the Panthers and some aspirin over the Clovers.

Parke Heritage over South Vermillion - The Wolves (why were Rockville & Turkey Run consolidated and Riverton Parke left out?) may not necessarily be beating the Green Bay Packers every week, but they are winning and winning big.  Coach Moore may be seen as an opportunist, but he wins wherever he goes.  I like Coach, he may be arrogant sometimes, but I've been known to be that way myself every once in a while.  He should be wary of the Wildcats, who apparently are the favorites to run the table in 2A this year.  Have they backtracked from all that talk now that Sullivan brought them back to earth.  Anyway, if the SV players are aware of all the SEC & Big 12 scouts watching these D1 recruits, it could be a major distraction.  I'll take the coaching of the Wolves over the Wildcats this week.

Have some fun with these.  If these picks bother you, get over it.  If you'd like to convince me how wrong I am, get to it.  I love the WRC and the area around Attica, Williamsport, West Lebanon, Veedersburg & Judyville.  It's where my roots are, so good luck to all the teams this week and I hope they all get to play.
