Mid-State Week 9 + Tournament Outlook

[FridayNightLights]

31-8 on my picks for the year. 3 way tie for conference champions between DC, Whiteland, and Mooresville. 

Greenwood (4-4) @ Whiteland (7-1)- Surprising big win for Greenwood last week over Franklin. Don't think they'll have enough fire power to hang with Whiteland. Whiteland 35-14

Plainfield (4-4) @ Martinsville (3-5)- Plainfield 35-21

DC (6-2) @ Franklin (3-5)- DC too much to handle. 42-14

Perry (0-8) @ Mooresville (7-1)- Mooresville 56-7

 

Looking at sectionals it appears Whiteland and Mooresville will be the 2 teams with a possibility of making a run in the tourney. Both Plainfield and DC are stuck in Cathedral's sectional with little hope of making it out. Whiteland is the Sagarin favorite to make it out of sectional 14 though it won't be easy with New Pal looming. Then they would get Cathedral in regionals. 

Mooresville will get to host East Central week 2 of sectionals giving them the edge. IF they can make it past EC they will have a tough regional vs most likely Jasper or Evansville Central and then a semi-state matchup vs either Roncalli or Mt. Vernon. All speculation. Guess that's why we don't determine a winner until it's played out on Friday night.  Would love to see Mooresville and Coach Gillin represent the Mid-State at LOS on Thanksgiving weekend.

 

Good luck to all!
