Don’t know enough about the rest of the teams yet, but I’m glad week 1 is finally here I can’t ever decide if Nick’s non-con scheduling is brilliant, masochistic, or both. He’s going to beat one of those teams one of these times. Hope it’s this weekend! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe GS has the horses to get it done. I also have much respect for Patriot nation, their record speaks for itself. Just picked the home team between MV and HH.

Don’t know enough about the rest of the teams yet, but I’m glad week 1 is finally here Big key for the Washington-WV match up will be line play IMO. After losing a do-it-all QB, how will Washington's offense look? They're wanting to be a 50-50 run/pass team. That will not be able to happen unless the offensive line shows improvement over last year. If they're able to open some holes in the running game, I think we've got some nice depth at the RB position to help ease the transition at QB. I think the offense will only get better as the season rolls on. I hope to see the defense take a step forward as well. They showed up in spots last year against teams they were supposed to; now I'd like to see them make some stops against teams have rolled us or are expected to roll us. Coach Morris is a defensive minded HC and I'm very hopeful to see our defense take a step forward in Year 2. Look for them to run a base 4-4 scheme. Final prediction based only off reading newspaper articles and the occasional conversation with coaching staff members: Hatchets 24 WV 21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the kids are hungry after being robbed of a chance to compete for the sectional title. Maybe the VL/Wash rivalry can be renewed in the sectional this year!

Best of luck to the Alices as well. The entire town felt a gut punch after the contact tracing report; hell, I felt the pain and I live in Louisville, KY. I think both towns would relish the opportunity to play each other in the post-season! Would definitely be deserving of a special trip home on my end. If it's played in Vincennes, I'll have to be sure to go ahead and call up Bobe's Pizza early for the pre-game meal. They got something magical in those ovens on 6th Street I swear to God. Or Main Street. Decisions, decisions... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2017statechamps Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Did the hatchets actually think they had a chance last year before Covid got them? Personally I think its saved them from an arse beating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldHatchetHog76 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Friday's game v. West Vigo has been cancelled according to the local paper. A statement from the administration said that the team has been struck down will illnesses; however, at the time there is no evidence pointing towards the illnesses being COVID-19 related. Sad to see; was looking forward to the match up. That being said, you can count me out of any further weekly predictions henceforth. I will not be a contributing factor for further losses for my Hatchets lol Here's to no further cancellations starting week 2 gentlemen!

Great example from around the area would be Bosse back in 2010. All Washington wanted was the chance to play. When you don't have a lot of post-season success in your history, the opportunity to play for a sectional title is paramount for your program. So to answer your question, there were a lot of supporters of the program who indeed thought they had a chance against Sullivan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to hear that the Hatchets' misfortune has carried over to 2021. Tough way to start the year. Not sure if they can find an opponent this late in the week.

Before Coach Hart we had never even won a sectional in football….but that 2012 season we managed to win back to back OT games over Vincennes and Memorial to capture our first sectional title. Coach Hart is an amazing coach don’t get me wrong, but even he credits that first year where the team bought in and came together to the jump start of the program. sometimes all you need is a little momentum. Looking forward to seeing Washington and other teams try to make that next step and maybe bring home some hardware 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
