So the game of the year is in Elkhart with the Lions play Marian for the North title.

Will this be the year NP can get Penn?  This is a decent Penn team but not as talented as many of their past teams.

Bremen and Riley battle for 1st Place in the South.

Didn’t New Prairie beat Penn last year?

A couple of toss ups and if being completely honest, a couple of games I know little about the opponents.  So I am just going to list my picks (guesses in some cases) and say nothing more.

St. Joe over CMA

Adams over Jimtown

Glenn over Clay

Elkhart over Marian

Penn over NP

Bremen over Riley

Washington over West Side

Change of topic. This is what the 6th year or so since the conference re-aligned. The first with out Mishawaka and first with the new Elkhart. How are the different communities feeling about everything?  My personal opinion from Bremen is pretty positive and optimistic.  I think some felt Bremen would be a punching bag and they were biting off more than they can chew. Aside from basketball (which has been a dumpster fire prior to the changes) the Lions have held their own in most sports.  Soccer pulled off a upset of Marian, the tennis team won its first regional and face Carmel on Saturday in semi-state, the girls softball team is a state power. I am paraphrasing a lot on here with results and probably missing a lot of other accomplishments.  

The NIC has forced Bremen to step up its game. In the NSC conference success was a stepping stone to post season success. In the NIC, Bremen teams get challenged even more, so facing relative similar status schools isn't that difficult. The goal in any sport is to advance as far as you can, and the NIC prepares them for that.

We still get to keep rivalries with Glenn and Jimtown. Those schools make Bremen better.  I like having the challenges of Marian and St. Joe to measure up against.  Penn is Penn, and I think the Bremen kids like to dream of David vs. Goliath upsets.  I miss New Prairie on the schedule for football, but we still get to see them regularly in other sports. I respect the heck out of the people from Rolling Prairie and New Carlisle, those are good communities.  I think their is budding rivalries with Riley and Washington, I don't know how those folks view us.  

Have their been hiccups, of course, but overall from my perspective, the conference has been a huge positive for Bremen.

What is everyone else's takes on the NIC?

A lot depends on how one looks at it.  From a fan standpoint I think it has been good all over.  I wish SB would get their act together and consolidate schools to try and improve the quality of the whole athletic program.  I think no having freshman football at some schools will come back to haunt them.  I think the south will end up being more competitive than the north in most years.  It will be interesting to see if Penn is in one of those eras where not as dominant as before.  WIll Elkhart dominate in some sports as well?

According to the Marian website, the Marian @ Elkhart game is cancelled tomorrow night.  Per Marian, "There are currently zero Covid-19 cases on our football team, but due to contact tracing, there are a number of players that have had to be quarantined."

Such a shame.
