I think I’ve seen all I need to see boys, BNL wins the HHC by a long shot this year. I’d bet a couple cold ones on that

LC was labeled a sleeper team in the Indy area going into the season.

A repeat of last season's game. Like Yogi Berra once said, "It's deja vu all over again."

Cool. I like free beer.

 

Also, great job by the Highlanders for getting the 3 team sweep over Gibson Southern. JV won in blowout fashion and our freshman team won 13-12. The program looks strong. I look for them to beat Whiteland next week and hopefully sweep the HHC again.

FWIW, Whiteland lost to Columbus North by a score of 14-7, and North has just four starters back from last season, two starters each on offense and defense. So, FC should be a strong favorite to win that game.

I’d pick BNL, Floyd, New Albany, and Jeff all over Whiteland right now

I’d pick FC. Not sure about the other 3 yet? NA looks better. BNL had a decent win. Jeffersonville…..no.

It’s hard to get a read on these teams right now TBH. Floyd Central has kind of had to re-invent themselves a little bit. They don’t have the passing game they had last year. Part of that is moving their #1 WR to QB. He did QB in 9th and 10th. But he’s more of a read option QB. Luke Jacobi had 181 yds rushing with 2 TDs and also a KO return TD. He’s a special kid and although he’s a SR, he’s the only Freshman to ever play varsity for Coach B. 
 

Defensively they seem fine. The QB from GS had 254 yds passing and 200 rushing. Seems like a special player and a guy that Gibson will ride all season. They did sack him 4 times and created a few turnovers. Very interested to see if their rush defense holds up next week because it’ll be fly sweep galore with Whiteland. I hate that gimmicky crap. It does work though.

I don't know what the Lol was about. The point was they lost to another very young team and FC should be a heavy favorite. Yes, Whiteland was coming off a 9-3 season and also had just four starters back to include just one starter on defense. It was a game of two very young teams in which someone was going to come out on top.

Read the post and it's clear what its to. 

Silly to say FC is a heavy favorite, though.  Whiteland also handled East in the scrimmage.

I think Floyd Central has the better team and playing at home will be a massive advantage as they’re expecting a sellout on Friday. It still won’t be easy.

 

Honestly, last year, FC came out with the worst 1st qtr I’ve ever seen.

 

First play of the game for Floyd Central, they throw a flare screen and it’s fumbled and they recover on the 20. Scored a TD.

 

Whiteland kicks the ball off. Floyd Central fumbles it. Whiteland Scores again. FC goes 3 and out. Holds Whiteland to 3 and out. Whiteland punts the ball. Muffed punt. Recovered by Whiteland.

 

Moral of the story. I think if FC can take care of the football Friday, they’ll get this one.

They're a talented team, probably in the top 20 in the state.  However, With the brutal MIC schedule they play they probably finish 4-5.  I think they beat Zionsville, Pike, and North Central, and lose to Lawrence North, Warren Central, Center Grove, Ben Davis, and Carmel.  Jeffersonville is an easy opponent for LC to play, but you've got to celebrate every win you can get when you're projected to lose more games than you win, especially with the margin of victory LC had.

That's fine. I still think they will win the game by a wide margin.

We’ll see. I heard this last year and they came down to Wiegleb Stadium and the game was over by halftime.

You’re also the same clown that said James Bragg wasn’t a good coach and then he ripped off a 10-2 season with HHC title and Sectional Championship. Lol.

It’s only one week and we had nothing to go off of. Week 1 is always the hardest week.

I would pump the brakes a little.

The good: Cutler Chastain is a SPECIAL athlete at QB. Really curious how teams try to contain him. They have weapons all over the field, Horton is the "Steady Eddy" in the backfield. Tidd does a great job play calling as well. The defense took care of business against a Marty team that had some quality players back in week 1. 

The bad: Depth. A LOT of guys playing both ways. Really curious what that looks like after a couple weeks. A big key is going to be how much the underclassmen develop over the season. 

 

I personally think BNL runs the table until the meet FC. Too much depth, especially by that point in the season IMO.
