temptation Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Week 3 boasts the first of what most would consider the first of two “games of the year” in Indiana high school football so I thought I’d get the discussion started. Probably not a game statewide this season that will feature more next level talent on the field at the same time as when Center Grove travels to Carmel this Friday night. Both teams 2-0 as CG has easily disposed of Warren and Decatur Central, whereas Carmel boasts two out of state wins in high octane fashion. This matchup was much hyped last year but CG throttled the Hounds 42-0. Hard to pick against CG for this guy as the argument could be made they are BETTER than last year’s title team and are more complete on both sides of the ball. Taking nothing away from Carmel as they’ve downed two great opponents but have needed 40+ on both occasions. Gimme CG 30-17.

I feel horrible for CG having to play this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a prediction about the game or are you going to continue this game of middle school tag? Edited August 29, 2021 by temptation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just giving you a hard time no matter how much I disagree with you… But I do think CG runs the table outside of maybe Cathedral later on in the year.

Footballking16 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Carmel needed a literal Hail Mary to beat an inner-city Detroit Public with 1500 students where 67% are on a free or reduced lunch program. Center Grove in theory has a punchers chance in this game Friday night. Somebody out there give me Tim Bless’ thoughts on this game? Is it safe to play? As far as the game goes, give me Center Grove and their 2500 students and higher free and reduced lunch program in a big upset. 31-13 Trojans. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I pulled some old numbers. King is up to 79% free and reduced lunch and only has 1189 students (not 1500). Carmel truly did avoid one of the biggest upsets in recent memory.

In fact, they probably have more future D1 prospects than Cathedral. A football factory factory first and foremost. Keep trying though. It’s cute.

Detroit King is a four-time State Champ (last time in 2018) and played in the title game in 2019. Sounds like they have a stellar athletic program. I'm not saying that Carmel should not have been the favorite, but this idea you seem to be implicating that... 1) Inner city schools are somehow deficient at athletics or... 2) That King is somehow a bad athletic program... is ridiculous.

It's run by the DPS which is the equivalent to IPS. It's strictly a public school zoned to some of the most impoverished areas of Detroit. The school literally almost closed a handful of years ago.

I'm being a smartass. According to Temptation, schools who have astronomically high f/r lunch programs can't/aren't expected to be good at athletics unless they have a mega-school enrollment. It's the only thing he's been talking about these last 6 months. An inner-city public school (like Detroit King) blows that narrative out of the water in both instances. That's why I'm being "cute" according to Temptation. Edited September 1, 2021 by Footballking16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct and all of the football athletes are funneled into King. 550 boys in the school and over a half dozen football D1 guys? Come on dude. Get your head out of the sand.

King has been a state champion within the last three seasons and played in a state championship game in 2019. You're not listening at all what I'm saying. I'm being a smartass. King is a good football program despite having a low enrollment and vastly high f/r lunch program, something Temptation has said isn't feasible under those conditions.

Keep digging. I know all about Cass Tech too. You gimme another "public" school in America that boasts 1000 students and has 6-8 D1 prospects on the roster. Don't be so blind.
