Prospect Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Westfield (10-1) at Carroll (Fort Wayne) (10-1) GAME TIME: 8 pm ET, Gorsuch Complex. COACHES: Jake Gilbert, 82-47 in 11th year at Westfield, 112-83 in 17th year overall. Doug Dinan, 90-44 in 12th year at Carroll. SAGARIN RATINGS: Westfield, 101.76, 3rd overall, 2nd in 6A. Carroll, 85.1, 20th overall, 11th in 6A. LAST OUTING: Westfield defeated Hamilton Southeastern, 24-22. Carroll defeated Warsaw, 36-0. OPPONENTS' RECORDS: Westfield 66-51. Carroll 56-57. SERIES LAST 35 YEARS: No meetings. jh PREDICTION: Westfield, 35-24. It's that time of the year again where we get to see what 6A in Fort Wayne can do against an Indy school. Two very good QBs, but Westfield's O-Line looked MASSIVE. This will be Carroll's biggest challenge of the year, and they are playing their best football.

temptation Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 This one is definitely more intriguing to me than it would have appeared a month ago. I still think Westfield pulls it out but Carroll could make things interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I've got Westfield 35-21. Carroll has the facilities and the enrollment to become next level 6A. I'm just not sure they are there yet. I hope they prove me wrong. The Chargers are without a doubt the best team in the northeast quadrant of the state. So we'll see how that measures up to Indy.

NLCTigerFan07 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Two schools with arguably the best facilities in the state. I was unbelievably impressed with the new digs at Carroll last week! Easily one of the nicest football stadiums in the state and it's not close. Very few can compete with it. Fans that make the trip from Westfield will be pleased. The Warsaw game wasn't AS bad as it seemed... well kinda... shoulda/woulda/coulda game here, but if Warsaw scores on their drive before halftime and gets to the locker room down 22-7, then scores on their opening drive of the second half, the game easily could have been 22-14 with about 3 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter. Instead, Carroll stopped Warsaw at the 20 yard line with less than a minute in the half, and Becker took a QB draw 65 yards for a TD with only seconds to spare before halftime. That gave Carroll a 29-0 lead at halftime, and then the Tigers made their way inside the 20 yard line again on their first drive of the second half before the Chargers stopped them again. IMO - the long drive up to Fort Wayne for Westfield could play a little into things. If Carroll can start hot, they can certainly be competitive in this ball game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southend Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 As much as I would like to see the Summit City’s best 6a win, I don’t think that will happen. We’ve seen this scenario way to many times. Indy area team that seems vulnerable, then hammer teams from other parts of the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have the Press Box of Lafayette Jeff or Westfield, but it absolutely based upon the designs of both. NACS did multiple visits to these locales in order to design the facility they thought best at this time, and one that could be expanded and/or updated as needed. There is a RIDICULOUS amount of space for visiting teams' coaching staffs, Media and others in the Press Box area. Obviously an elevator to access these areas. The only downside that I have heard from those at Carroll is that they have had issues hearing whistles and the like, because of the "sound-proof" nature of the Press Box.

Been looking at Carrol’s stadium and holy smokes! They put in tons of work building their new stadium. Tons of space for this upcoming game, too bad I live in Evansville, or else I would check it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
