Eastbrook hasn't played a team this season with a Sagarin in the top 120. Sounds like they had an opportunity to pick one up a few weeks ago (Harrison) and passed on it. I just don't think that sets you up to beat Luers or Andrean. Likewise, Tipton hasn't played a game against a top 100 team. I do think the Hoosier Conference is a bit undervalued in the rankings for whatever reason right now because I think both Western and LCC are top 100 teams (they have them just outside of the top 100 right now) and Tipton has played those 2 teams three times. Anyway, the SOS for both is in the mid 200's. I could be wrong, but I don't like either of those two to knock off Luers this season. I'd love to be wrong about Tipton though. You could be right about Scecina though. They've played a top-100 schedule and appear to have improved as the season progressed. Have a hard time processing the loss to Speedway but those don't always mean alot. I mean, Western Boone lost their first game to Sheridan last year and Luers started the tournament with a losing record. Most of the time, competitive games, even losses, to good teams tell you more about yourself than routing terrible teams 50-0. I believe LCC was #95 before Tipton beat them. Granted that is a far cry from the competition Luers plays. I think it would be an uphill battle for either Eastbrook or Tipton(or Eastside for that matter) but that’s why you play the game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globemstr3 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I gotta say although ratings say this and that. I tend to look at the top ten this time of year. There are 5 or 6 teams that could win it all in 2A. But if you look at the path, all of them have MAJOR obstacles thru the Regionals. All of them. From the mighty Luers to my lowly Miners. Its just way to early to even speculate. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western's 6-3, but two of their loses have come to West Lafayette and one to 5A Kokomo who has only dropped games to 5A Harrison and 6A Jeff.

Yeah. I also watched them beat Western Boone who is currently 89th. Like I said, something seems funky with the Hoosier Conference rankings for some reason. I tend to think they are undervalued currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sr1 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 We still need to raise over $1000 for the Gridiron Digest to cover this seasons bills. If you have not donated to become a booster now would be a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st_and_10 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I think whoever comes out of the North wins State. Luers, Andrean, Eastside, Tipton, Eastbrook... All really solid teams. I would love to see Tipton get over the hump but I think Luers probably wins it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachDurham Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Man everyone sleeping on the Panthers of Pioneer. They have over come a lot of adversity this year! Changing game plans week to week. They are playing the under dog role very well for the first time. 🤕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking like there is a 50/50 shot that their season could come to an end tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachDurham Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? NO, so I wont quit on the Panthers until its over! But, they do have a tough task tonight. Coach Berry will have his boys ready. I just thought it was interesting they didn't list either Pioneer or LaVille. And no one gave them a shot last year either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendNotBreak Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Overcoming adversity is an admirable quality.... overcoming the Phi 18-0 dosent inspire me to think Pioneer has the horses to compete w the likes of Andrean...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2A team that defeats Carroll, Homestead, and Dwenger all in the same season, is pretty much a lock for the state title at that level. Anything can happen on any given night.

Defensively, that was about as perfect of a game as a team could hope to play against Luers and I don’t think I’m being facetious when I say that either lol. I mean really, that was about as perfect of a defensive game as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
