TigerFan20 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Though the season is over for SIAC it is never to early to start speculating for next year! It also appears my preview was deleted or I did not save it. Preseason rankings: 1. Memorial-returns nearly everyone on them team. Very strong senior and junior classes 2. Mater Dei- Young, but are getting the experience Castle- ^ 3. Jasper- Can’t count out Jasper again this year 4. North- Big statement for week 1, returns a decent amount 5. Central- loses a lot of players and most of their scoring offense 6. Vincennes Lincoln- slowly getting there 7. Reitz- Don’t know who they return, but loses a decent amount 8. Bosse- still away, but should improve 9. Harrison- it will be a while Harrison Top 5 are interchangeable, just my speculation of what preseason will look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Here is the important question: Is Memorial good enough to earn two points in the next cycle to stay in 4A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerFan20 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 I won't be doing all the teams, so I'll do mine: Memorial returns nearly all their starters from last years 8-4 team, who almost won their 5 straight sectional title. Though the season started off weak, they eventually won 8 straight games to reach the S24 final. The team returns starters on both offense and defense, including a very big O line. However, they lose Memorial star QB Colton Pence, who had a good season, and 5 other seniors including Vaughn, Quick, Stratman, Hoffman and McClearly. With most production returning, the Tigers will most likely be a preseason top 3 and my preseason #1( though I maybe biased). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat1992 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I think MD and Memorial will be neck and neck, just like they have been the last 2 years. MD starters returning: QB - Wunderlich RB - Pierre and Humphrey WR - McDurmon OL - Boots, Carter, Wells DL - Boots, Ralph LB - Martin DB - Mayer, Humphrey, McDurmon, Martin Fill in the gaps with a JV team that beat Memorial JV 36-0 and I red and gold colored glasses gives the edge to MD. Also, Castle will be right there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evansville50 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Memorial loaded MD on the come both heavy favorites Castle run and play defense Central still have playmakers. Lot to replace though . Don’t love the QB Bosse going to make a big jump Jasper Reitz RB may be biggest impact player in SIAC next year North biggest fall from past seasons Harrison VL might struggle to win a game with lose of talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall seeing that kind of player on their roster this year. Brickey and Brown were very good but both are gone. Not sure who else remains.

I was also include Memorial’s incoming freshman class too, Memorial will definitely be loaded this year and the years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFan20 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Memorial returns OL- LT 6’7 285 Duff LG 6’7 280 Hartig C 6’2 230 Weinzapfel RG 6’0 260 Diaz RT 6’3 220 Cassidy WR- 6’2 175 Norman, 6’3 185 Collins, 5’11 170 Pearce, 5’8 180 Tyler, 5’11 175 Russel, 6’3 185 Shea and a few others RB- Russel and Tyler QB- up for grabs Defense: DL- DE 6’1 170 Farmer DT/DE 6’4 230 Collins DT 6’3 225 Farmer or Diaz DE 6’0 200 Johnson or 6’4 185 Tornatta LB- Russel, Shea, Tyler, or Rodgers and Brackett CB- Agler and a few others S- Brodie and a few others There are many other players that can contribute to the team, but I think that’s how Memorial looks like next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitting Llamas Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I've heard rumblings that Herdes is transferring to Memorial but I don't have much faith in that happening. I also heard he was transferring to Mater Dei for his freshman year and obviously that never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Ellspermann is quick, elusive, and athletic. And he performed well when called upon this year - especially in the win over Castle. But he may be better suited to be a slot receiver than a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also heard a rumor of a local offensive lineman transferring in. I put no stock in any of these rumors. For one thing, it can be risky to transfer schools -- as Curt Hopf can testify. Coming in from out of state is one thing. But across town? I'm actually kind of curious how Javonte Madison and Xavier Tyler transferred from Bosse to Central & Memorial with no IHSAA pushback.

I was thinking transferring a semester early before the season starts, I don’t really like going into this stuff on this forum when it comes to this type of situation.

Evansville50 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 My only real concern about Memorial next year is the lack of big play guys on defense. Each year they made it to state they had some. McGuire, both Combs, Goodwin to name a few. Next years team doesn’t have that. Russell is a solid player but not a game wrecker on D. Agler is probably the best defender but hard for a high school corner to make a big impact. The defense will be a good team defense. They will be fine in the city but to get over the hump in the tournament you need dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat some darn good teams (Mooresville, MV Fortville & East Noble) on our way to a 4A title with a bunch of mostly undersized, regular guys who played very well as a unit.
