I get they didn’t need to really prepare, they didn’t need to respect Avon. But at no point in that game did Carmel’s defense rise up and say “enough is enough”. And their offense was minus a passing game. I know they are #2 for a reason, but I think the Bulldogs are a better team. Brownsburg 27 Carmel 17.

LC…they are balling…especially on D. After giving up 48 to Warren Central earlier this year, held WC Friday night to 8 pts. Correct me if I am mistaken, but I think WC’s lone score was a pick 6. If accurate, LC completely shut down the Warrior offense. What a turn around from earlier this season!! Well done Bears!! Big game in Lawrence Friday night!!!

Both teams continually shot themselves in the foot on offense but LC’s D was the clear difference. Yes, Warren’s offense did not score.

temptation Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Carmel 24-23 over Brownsburg. A moral victory for the Dogs as it’s much more competitive than last year but I just have to see it to believe it. Sorry for the lack of hard hitting analysis here. BD 51-13 over Tech. Yawn. CG 45-7 over CN. CN among the most improved teams in the state since the beginning of the season but their season ends with a thud to the eventual 6A champs. LN 20-13 over LC. The Wildcats just have more playmakers than LC though the gap is closing. Edited October 31, 2021 by temptation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDGiant93 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Let's get these out of the way first... Ben Davis 48, Tech 7 BD should win going away. The Giants rested almost all their starters in the second half vs. Southport. Tech's had a very good year, but I just don't see much of a chance for the Titans to get their first ever Sectional and first win vs. BD since 1944. Center Grove 42, Columbus North 7 CG is too strong for the Bull Dogs. Now, the interesting ones... Brownsburg 24, Carmel 21 The 'Hounds have just been ok these last few weeks. I watched a lot of the Avon/Carmel game, and I just couldn't shake the feeling that the Greyhounds have been coasting and underachieving for a few weeks. Even the win over Ben Davis which was marred by the ending was the result of a couple of random big plays. I think they're cruising for something. Now, I agree that Brownsburg has stubbed its toe year after year, but I think they'll get it done this year. If not, I still think it's a tight game all the way through. Lawrence North 21, Lawrence Central 13 LC has made great strides forward this year as a program and Will Patterson has them headed in the right direction. Lawrence North has an underappreciated defense and one of the states best playmakers in Omar Cooper. While it would not at all surprise me to see LC win this one, LN, like Brownsburg, has been at this point before and you feel like they just have to break through at some point.

Slobberknocker Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Ben Davis: 56 Tech: 7 Well, there’s not much to say about Ben Davis vs Tech. Ben Davis wins big Center Grove: 42 Columbus North: 7 I don’t see how Columbus North can move the ball in this game Center Grove should win big Brownsburg: 28 Carmel: 21 I’m torn on who to pick in this game I think Brownsburg has a better defense but Carmel with Osbourn at the helm has a very dangerous passing game. I think I will go with Brownsburg in this one but wouldn’t be surprised if Carmel wins Lawrence north: 21 Lawrence central: 17 Lawrence north vs. Lawrence central is going to be one heck of the battle. I think Lawrence central has some speed and talent, but Lawrence North is just an all-around better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you are saying and agree to a certain extent. But there are a number of very large schools in this state that don't come close to this type of success. Watching the Carmel kids play, they are tough and well coached. They execute. And this starts at a very young age in their feeder system. They are clearly doing something right. And that's why its tough to pick against them. Much more than numbers. They will show up friday expecting to win....that I can guarantee.....

"Finding a way" just comes across to me as David vs Goliah or "against all odds" when actually the "odds" are pretty good that you are going to have success in a numbers driven sport with a high enrollment/SES (there it is AGAIN!).

The irony in this post (though no one at Carmel would probably say this publicly) is that sectional titles probably mean LESS at Carmel than anywhere else in the state. At this point (and anyone who has seen Carmel’s athletic HOF/gymnasium can attest to) I would not be surprised if they just use sectional champion trophies as door stops. 5 minutes ago, BTF said: I know, but.........................5400 students.
