Not a lot of competition around here in 3A this year with Heritage hills and gibson southern both having down years. Would have been interested to see how many TD memorial would win by if they were still in 3A. I guess thats a trick question you propose as Memorial would not be favored over SR.

Regardless how close Sags might be to determining how these games might play out, I marvel at times to just how predisposed folks who know better are inclined to the default that bigger schools automatically are going to defeat smaller school. If 2A Mater Dei can compete effectively and even outright win the SIAC against much bigger schools (and no one gives it even a second thought) then why is a stretch to imagine Southridge doing so? Especially a Southridge team that has won the 2A State Championship and defeated Mater Dei on the way? Why don’t folks just assume they could compete in the SIAC as effectively as Mater Dei? edit. Believe me, some of the 5A Sectionals around the state should thank God there aren’t some decent 2A teams playing in them.

Southridge would have also been a great addition to the SIAC and would have competed very well. It wouldn't be hard for me to imagine them winning a title occasionally and being in the top half of the standings every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're dependent on having some out-of-conference games to inject a comparison and get a result. If no regular season out-of-conference games, like the SIAC is now, the Sagarin is basically worthless. Since post-season started, and SIAC teams continue to move on, the Sagarin ratings for teams in the SIAC will continue to climb. I hope Mooresville, Lawrenceburg, and Triton Central are preparing their teams based off of the Sagarin ratings... I would bet the farm on Castle on a Southridge -1 line, and I definitely think you would struggle with Central. I doubt if Southridge -1 would be the Vegas line. In the past 20 years you are like 4-16 against Jasper. There's a lot of Jaspers in the SIAC. Usually anywhere from 3 to 6 depending on the year. During the same time, I think you are basically .500 versus MD, which is respectable, but not dominant. Under Coach Buening, you guys are averaging 9.5 wins a season which is also very respectable. As I said before, I think everyone respects Southridge and what you guys have achieved, especially recently. No doubt you guys would compete. You definitely have some athletes, solid coaching, and the kids play hard. No one would take you lightly. You have a talented team this year and best of luck this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to start a thread but much the same as last year, there are few TC fans active on the GID. There are a few comments but mostly from MD fans and supporters.

Memorial started the season 0-3. They lost a ton from last year. They played MD in week 4. They weren't "favorites" against anyone. They just seemed to get better every week. Later in the season, they lost their QB (Pence) for a bit and suffered a couple of other big injuries, but scrapped and found a way to compete. To answer your question, the MD, Reitz (at that time), Lincoln and Northview were toss ups. They were favorites against Harrison and Bosse.

oldtimeqb Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 In a perfect world (meaning no-SCF) we could have had Mater Dei vs Southridge for the 40 title and Memorial vs Gibson Southern last week for the right to face Lawrenceburg this weekend. That's not the case. Good luck to MD and SR in their actual games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I truly believe that if we had our normal 3500+ fans in the Enlow grandstand last week that we would be the team playing Mooresville this week instead of Central. But c'est la vie. Aside from that, not having the weekly tailgates and seeing friends and family at games has been a true bummer this season. Good luck to you guys tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
