Trojanmp52 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I was real impressed with East last year. I was thinking they where underclass heavy last year, not a lot of seniors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian06 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Last year and this year have been East’s weaker teams in the last 10 years. They will have nothing to offer CG this year (most teams won’t anyways). CE is without Mark McDonald which prior to week 8 had around 1500 yards rushing and 25+ TD’s. Averaging 7.5 yards a carry. It didn’t matter this year who East had CG is just that much better. I hope for an injury free game and for everyone involved to have safe travels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen Tundra Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I’m not going to sit here and say East is going to win. It’s not impossible but it’s definitely improbable. At the very least I want to see them fight their hardest for 48 minutes. Maybe earn some respect for hanging with the best team in the state for a short time or for playing hard until the final whistle. Make what’s likely to be your final game in 6A a memorable one. As for Center Grove, I have lots of respect for the program and for Coach Moore. He actually earned my respect off the field ten years ago when his son (Tyson) took my sister to the Columbus East prom. My dad was planning on giving Tyson “the talk” before they all went on their ways but Coach Moore stepped in first and gave him “the talk” instead which earned our respect. We didn’t expect Tyson to do any wrong and I’m sure Coach Moore didn’t either, but it was nice to know we really didn’t have to worry one bit because he was raised right. But, anyways, good luck to the Trojans and their fans. Unless East somehow pulls off a miracle of Christ-like proportions, I’ll be pulling for you to stay COVID free and win a 6A state title like you have shown you deserve. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Tundra Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just learned Parker Harrison (East’s defensive MVP and the co-leader in tackles in 6A) will have to sit out tomorrow’s game against Center Grove because of contact tracing. Huge blow. He also had two touchdown receptions last week too so that hurts a bit offensively as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Fan Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Made the trip to CG tonight. Trojans dominated. I thought Columbus East players were going to get hurt out there. Pure dominance by CG. Also, couldn’t help but notice the fight that broke out in the Columbus East stands between fans. Interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting It was the most eventful thing to happen on that side of the field. I don’t put too much thought into the game overall as an East fan.. this is a 4A school playing one of the nations best teams. Outmatched.

Olympian06 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 We will just have to wait and see 🙂. But it’s pretty well known that North’s incoming class is much bigger than East’s incoming class from the people I have spoken to. I have nothing bad to say about the success factor, East and Cathedral are the only 2 schools to jump up 2 classes due to the success factor. I thought for sure New Pal and Memorial would be the next 2 to do it but it looks we will have to wait a few years to see if they can join that group.. Obviously 5A and 6A are a huge difference considering East and Whiteland had a battle down to the wire and was literally no match for CG.. I’m looking forward to East being back down in 5A next year. And in comparison to East’s prior incoming classes this one is much smaller in enrollment numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group of kids that get you bumped up are gone and you end up with a weaker team in the newer class for the two year cycle. But, at least it showed us what it takes to be on a 6A championship level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
