temptation Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 EASILY the most intriguing class as I truly think 4 teams could win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esso Ayche Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Teams from the north have mothers that are hamsters, and fathers that smelt of elderberries. We fart in their general direction. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysander Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Gibson Southern vs. either The Preppies (Brebeuf for those unwashed) or West Lafayette at Lucas Oil. I don’t have a 4th Team. I’m slightly favoring Brebeuf v West Lafayette simply in 2 weeks because it’s a home game for Brebeuf (and the fact that Brebeuf has played a much more difficult schedule). As to who wins Thanksgiving Weekend, no idea….but I will be personally favoring one team….IB. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will throw in Danville as an outside contender and Mishawaka Marian as a potential spoiler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I would have to pick a dark horse. It's would be either Danville or Tri-west. I believe tri-west would be a little darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XStar Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I certainly wouldn't rule out a run by Marian. They've played a tough schedule and a bunch of larger schools and appear to have improved from when I saw them play earlier in the year. They also have one of the top playmakers in 3A in Greg Atkinson. I wouldn't be that surprised if they beat Brebeuf or West Lafayette. I'm certainly expecting them to play one of those two and I don't think they'll be in over their heads in that matchup. In the south, I'm going with Danville. I hope Gibson Southern plays up to their lofty ranking but want to see them go to state sometime before I predict it to happen. At the end of the day, most are probably expecting a matchup of 2 future Boilermakers with Strickland chasing Allen around on Thanksgiving weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendNotBreak Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 To put 3A north in contex.... all time.... WL is 3-2 in Title games... the 2 Ls being dealt by Chatard..... MM hasnt been ther since they petitiond up from 1A to win 2A in 1975 n 1976... in a 3 class system... n havnt been seen since.... The Preppies resume has been... bridesmaids twice recently... 3 n 4 yrs apart .. if they return again this yr... a 3rd time to State could very well b the charm for them...... n they've knocked out WL before.... if the River Rats do manage to get past the Jesuits.... i think the odds for ensuing kaos become slightly higher in the north.... Danville being the most likly culprit..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danville being the most likly culprit..... Your statement regarding Marian may be true but also ignores the fact they were almost inarguably the second best team in 3A just last season and was the only team to come within 10 points of Chatard in the tournament. They aren't the same team as last season, but they have been one of the better programs in the class over the last six seasons. 6 straight sectionals and 4 regionals in that stretch. Their 4 semi-state losses were to West Lafayette, Brebeuf, and Chatard twice. Two of those losses were by less than a touchdown. They haven't reached the summit but they're knocking on the door. I'm not sure they are better than Brebeuf this season but I've certainly seen bigger upsets happen. It's not like we're talking about Crawfordsville or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’d get on board if you were taking about history that involved either coach or member of the coaching staff being involved in said history. But I just can’t.
