temptation Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 One at a time: 1. I think that CG simply has too much on both sides of the ball...10 years ago I would never have imagined myself saying that. Should be an interesting coaching matchup as I do firmly believe WC upgraded with Kirschner. The hire surprised me and I expect Warren to get better each and every week. I'll say CG 27-13. 2. I keep flip flopping on the BD/Brownsburg contest. Once again, I HATE that this westside rivalry has been moved to a stale atmosphere at Lucas Oil Stadium. Brownsbug would have made a field day at the gate on this one. I think BD pulls out a close one 27-24. 3. Trinity is #1 in Kentucky and top 25 nationally. I will say however that Trinity does not seem to boast the 3-4-5 star recruits I am used to seeing according to 247. I'll still give them a slight edge at home. 23-21. 4. Poor Lawrence Central. This may be one of their best shots at a win all season but I think HSE has a bounce back year with their coaching staff now having a full/normal offseason under their belts. I'll say its still fairly close. 31-23 HSE. 5. Stated in another thread that LN broke me last year. Having the two best players on the field and still coming up short at Warren in the sectional gives me little hope that the Wildcats can ever get over the hump. On the other side, trying not to overanalyze CG's scrimmage demolition of Avon as I think the Trojans have the capability to do that to a lot of teams this fall. I will make one guarantee: This one will not be as high scoring as last year. I think both programs are in rebuilding mode honestly. Gimme Avon 24-20. 6. I think North Central is poised for a bounce back year in what I called a "2020 covid pass". O'Shea is one of the best in the business and I do think that the future is bright for both of these programs. I will take NC 30-20. 7. Pike is in a similar boat as LC as their winning opportunities will be few and far in between this fall. Zionsville cannot expect to be taken seriously as a 5A contender if they cannot beat the bottom of the MIC. I say the Eagles take this one 34-20.

Bash Riprock Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Wow...a heavy week of MIC teams on the road, with exception of WC. My picks.... CG BD LT - would love to see the Hounds pick up the win out of state for Indiana football HSE LN (they go on the road and pick up the upset win) NC (they do the same at Fishers and start moving upward) Z'Ville (although I think Pike makes this a game) Its finally here fellas!!!

Staxawax Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Interesting that many are calling an Avon win an "upset", but no one is calling a BD win over Brownsburg an "upset". It is according to the rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both polls have Ben Davis higher than the Bulldogs, so there. But, it should be a great game. And considering how BD has been a slow starter in recent years, Brownsburg has a heck of a chance!

Brownsburg has also sort of broken me. No reason they should have looked so bad in the postseason the past two seasons. Hate to say this, but even if they pull it off Friday night, NO ONE will (nor should they) take them seriously until they do it again in November. Probably not fair but still fact.

It is according to the rankings. Avon beating LN is in no way an upset. I saw you corrected yourself on the BD/Brownsburg game, but BD returns their QB and most of the O-Line. Defense will be a work in progress. Depth is also an issue. Once you get past the starters, you find guys that are participating in their first varsity action really fast. Young PK (sophomore). So...I think it all balances out. Should be a great game with a Brownsburg team that has a lot of good players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
