Center Grove @ Warren Central

[Warren Central Warrior]

What's good GID. I'm finally back after a year long hiatus and I'm ready for some high school football. The defending Class 6A champions Center Grove Trojans travel to Warren Central to take on the Warriors. Center Grove ran the tables en route to its 3rd state title in the last two decades. Warren Central struggled to its first losing season in eight years with a 4-6 finish. The Warriors return much of their team from last year and the Trojans have heavily favored to do something that hasn't been done since 2006. Repeat as state champions. This is a great match up and I would like your opinions on who you all think will win. My prediction: the Warriors pull a 2016 and upset the defending champs in a close game 27-24.

Rise up Warriors!!!

Drinking this early in the AM is not recommended.
 

I’ll probably lay down a prediction on this one later on this week but I can tell you one thing...

NO WAY Warren (or maybe anybody else for that matter) gets 27 on CG’s D.

Hopefully you have a pick six, scoop and score and/or a special teams TD mixed in there.

Agreed... No way Center Grove is giving up 27 to Warren.

I don’t know? Warrior may have an inside!  The coach may have a surprise or two for the state champs. 
Hard to believe IU could beat Wisconsin penn state and Michigan in the same year. Or the Jets beating Colts in SB III. People have short memories, about the history of Warren central .

Check out this poster’s history...

He/she has not predicted Warren to lose a game since the beginning of time.

Did Warren have a scrimmage game Friday? If so I would love to know who they played an how they did.

I do not believe they had a scrimmage. Wonder how that works with trading game tape from last night with CG.

But it is Warren Central, they always seem to have athletes to compete with anyone. No chance at all in this game?

Didn’t say that at all.

Center Grove is 4-6 vs Warren in the last 10 years. 1-4 in the last 5.

False.  Convenient how you left out the playoff matchups.  Do those not count?

Also, different coaching staff in place at one place and different kids at both schools based on the time frame you chose to use.

You’re not very good at this.

No, tomptation, they don't, because the playoff setup gives an unfair advantage to the mega schools like Warren. I've been reading about that all week.

The real question is... Did Warren Central have more wins or points against CG last year? 😂

You know complete facts don't matter to some folks.

Way to deflect.  I told you upon my return that I was going to make you my first victim and I’m well on my way.

Few things worse in both collegiate and high school sports than folks who attempt to paint a narrative using stats involving players that were in elementary school when the chosen time period began and have now graduated college and possibly are married with a family.  It makes no sense.

Its even worse when you get those stats wrong.  (CG and Warren are knotted at 8-8 in the time period you attempted to reference.)

What’s next?  Citing Warren’s record against teams wearing red?

I must have missed that claim. I think you should stick to bowling. You might win at that.

Pretty good recap of the Trojans.  But don't forget Eli Hohlt.

[SouthernStateofMind]

CG is going to throw WC another beat down... Warren doesn't have the playmakers on offense or defense to keep this game close....

[temptation]

Gimme CG 27-13... closest conference game the Trojans will play all year.

How's Carmel and Ben Davis looking this year?

I mean, I think both will be formidable and I’ll never say never.  It’ll be a typical year in the MIC with the top 4.  
 

I think CG is on another level.  Carmel, Warren and BD in tier 2 and everyone else (led by North Central) fighting for scraps.

Lawrence Central did not even get any scraps last year. I feel bad for the betting LC players took. Hope they at least get a scrap this year.

Highly unlikely.  @DTis pretty passionate about the Bears.
