This 4A Playoff season has been exciting to say the least all across the board! Hard to believe this is the same Mt. Vernon that lost at home to Nobleville 57-36. Noblesville is 6A, but they were the worst team in the HCC this season with their only other win a non conference home game against TH South.

Exactly right, on paper Northridge wasn't going to make it past NorthWood in round 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can ground & pound, and do a really good job of being physical against the run, defensively. I think one team that has been under the radar in 4A is Mt. Vernon. They gave up 57 to a unique offense in Noblesville but they've been dominant in the HHC this year. (I know they're ranked 4th in the polls but almost no one is giving them a chance to beat the Royals.) Roncalli struggles mightily against good passing offenses and Mt. Vernon's big-time pass game could give Roncalli fits. I nailed them as an under the radar threat 😉 but I still am amazed about Northridge! The atmosphere for the 4A game is going to be electric with these two communities experiencing a state game at LOS for the first time! Has Northridge or MV won State in any other sports?

Vernon hasn’t, I’m expecting that they will soon enough. They are basically becoming a smaller version of HSE as regards demographics, etc. Don’t know about growth but I’d have to imagine they are tracking to become 5A in the upcoming years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzoron Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 What some may be overlooking about this Mt. Vernon team is that the Seniors on this team were Freshmen when Mike Kirschner came to town, and he was their coach for 3 years. Let's hope the new coaching staff can keep that momentum going. I have seen the same situation head programs in the opposite direction at another school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In football though we were bottom dwellers in the NLC until Tom Wogomon took over in 13. In 14 we won our first sectional and regional football titles in school history. Coach Wog retired after last season, after the school built a brand new athletics facility including all Turf football, baseball, and softball fields. Coach Eppley was promoted this season at 26 years old, went 5-4 in the regular season after countless injuries. We had a running clock against us in our last 2 regular season games, but figured things out and made adjustments in a 50ish point swing against NorthWood in the sectional opener compared to the score between the two a few weeks earlier. Took care of business against the only team we were arguably favorites against in the playoffs in Columbia City, then upset Leo, Ole Miss, and New Prairie to make state. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeqb Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 No doubt the senior group at Mt Vernon is a great collection of talent. A regional, sectional, and potentially state title over their 3 years of varsity football. 4A south has been in quite a flux over the last decade. Columbus East and New Pal bumped up. Memorial and Chatard joining. Not to get ahead, but will they be rejoining 4A next year? And Roncalli only won sectional, which means they will NOT be able to accumulate enough points to be bumped up as well. It looks like it will continue to be a changing class over the next few seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough points (2) to stay up in 4A for a few more years, which is about all I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the surprise of the entire playoffs this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
