temptation Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 LN’s win over Avon was the lone bright spot in the unofficial MIC/HCC showdown tonight as Fishers, Zionsville, Brownsburg and HSE easily disposed of their MIC counterparts. Same old story in August...will it finally happen in October/November? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC is pretty stunning, thought that program may have turned a corner. Your long concerns about Simmons probably warrant recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t speak to the flow of the Pike/Zionsville game but 28-10 is pretty damn impressive. NC’s loss didn’t “shock me” but the margin did. LC is in deep trouble and is making @DT look like a prophet. I had five turnovers for BD tonight (though I may be off by one as I think a late INT was overturned). I’m sure we will hear the normal “BD will improve” rhetoric but they simply looked overmatched all night against a Brownsburg team that lost A LOT of talent.

Thought Zionsville was going to roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That changes things a bit. Maybe Pike can sneak up on a couple of mid-tier MIC teams. No real shame in how Warren lost to CG, pretty predictable. Was just shocked they seemed to be dragging guys off the turf all night. Conditioning? Announcers went with “cramps” but that usually affects both teams fairly equally.

BDGiant93 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Brownsburg physically dominated Ben Davis. Congrats to Coach Hart and the Bulldogs. 2 minutes ago, temptation said: Was just shocked they seemed to be dragging guys off the turf all night. Same. Coach Simmons mentioned it on Inside Ben Davis Football it was a concern, so it was on their minds. Oh well. On to Avon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Ben Davis and Warren Central will lead the state in most cramps per quarter after week 1. Have these schools fallen behind in basic strength and conditioning? Unfortunately, COVID has more negatively impacted higher minority schools. We will see this manifest itself throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been a sweep as Avon went ahead with 3:30 left in the game, but failed to contain on the outside and a long gain from a short pass resulted in the winning TD with :35 left.

Would’ve been a riot. As I stated all summer however, no one will take the HCC seriously until it’s done in the postseason. Brownsburg has now taken the last three from BD in the regular season but I’m still hesitant to say the changing of the guard has occurred simply because they’ve flamed out in the postseason on all three occasions. I could be wrong here but that game seems to just mean more to the Bulldogs. I criticized their celebrations after regular season wins in the past but if they don’t have BD’s attention by now, they never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boilernation Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I don't get Brownsburg. I watched the entire game and saw what I would consider a typical Brownsburg team in a game like this. They had the size and speed to match Ben Davis all over the field. IMO, it was clear Brownsburg didn't fear Ben Davis and was the aggressor. At some point the Bulldogs have to break through in the playoffs. How about the Millers? I watched all of that one as well. I won't put the cart in front of the horse as the road through the HCC will be a lot tougher than Mt. Vernon; however, it was nice to see the Millers dominate a solid Mt. Vernon team. Noblesville's secondary was swiss cheese early on as Mt. Vernon took 15-0 and 22-7 leads in the 1st Quarter. It was all Noblesville after that as the D tightened up and the enormous Miller O-Line was pancaking Marauders left and right. It was 50-22 late in the 3rd quarter when Noblesville started playing 2nd stringers in the secondary and Mt. Vernon put together 2 more nice drives. Noblesville racked up 588 rushing yards while tiny 5'5 Sophomore Logan Shoffner had 354 yards on the ground by bouncing behind the Noblesville O-Line and hitting the open field. My humble Power Rankings after Week 1: Brownsburg Westfield Hamilton Southeastern Avon Noblesville Fishers Zionsville Franklin Central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree that these schools are behind. Kevin Vanderbush at Ben Davis has seen his program modeled throughout indiana and the country. In your interview with Jason Simmons you essentially seemed to not know who this man was and I personally would suggest you get to know this man as he is still considered by many to be the best S&C coach in Indiana.
