Muda69 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Sportsguy said: Actually, Southwood was carved out of the woods adjacent to White's, thus the "Southwood" reference. The geographical center of MSDWC is, in fact, south of the river -- albeit in a rather remote location near the river southeast of Paradise Springs. Maybe they could call it Riverside High! Erecting a brand-new building to house the contraction of NF and SW just a stone's throw from Wabash High School looks a little silly on paper. I predict an enrollment increase for both Manchester and Oak Hill schools if this passes. I know of Southwood's location, I driven by it on State Road 124 many times. Meh, just close Northfield and Southwood. Any child North of CR 400 North goes to Manchester, any South of that go to Wabash. Easy Peasy.

Hit the nail on the head. Even Eastbrook for some of the families who live off 218. Somerset and LaFontaine kids would be a hop skip and a jump from OH vs traveling through Wabash every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First_Backer_Inside Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Big week for the final week of the TRC. Four teams fighting for a share of the conference championship. TV can win it outright with a win over Southwood. Southwood pulls off the upset and chance to grab a share of the title along with the winner of the Mac and Rochester game. Who ya got this week for the last week of TRC play? Also how is everyone feeling about their sectional draw? A couple of TRC matchups first round, tough draw for Southwood first round facing defending North champions in Adams Central. Manchester at Peru ©, 7 pm I'm going to take Peru, but the tigers have struggled the last couple of weeks while Manchester seems to be improving with every week. Could make for a pretty good game. Northfield at North Miami ©, 7 pm Two mirror offenses facing one another. I'm going to take Northfield due to having the best player on the field in Fisher, but should be a close game. Rochester at Maconaquah ©, 7 pm Second biggest game of the week in the conference. Winner could come away with a share of the conference title if Southwood can get it done. I'm going to take Rochester, but they've gotta improve in the secondary. Good test for them going into sectionals. Maconaquah has some very good young receivers to throw to. Should be a great game. Tippecanoe Valley at Southwood ©, 7 pm Southwood has found a great groove to end the season, but TV is too big and physical. I'm taking TV in this one. Whitko at Wabash ©, 7 pm Tough year for Whitko. Wabash slings it all over them. I'm taking Wabash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way sounds like MSD board will contract the 2 high schools in the near future. It's going to fail by at least a 70-30 margin. No way it's going to go. Even a lot of people in the northern part of the MSD district are ardently opposed. There's a few people running for board seats on an "anti-merger" platform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEinFAN Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Peru Northfield Rochester Valley...I didn't realize how loaded their Junior class is. Wabash Selfishly, I would like to see Southwood get a chance to play Rochester again. Brutal draw for them as well with Adams Central and then most likely South Adams.

Justafan Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It stays a tie for the crown. Preseason predictions really turned out to be true. Valley certainly missed Wade Jones on Friday with his hernia injury. All the credit to the Knights for their big plays. Jones was on the sidelines of the Purdue game Saturday night. Preseason predictions held mostly true. Probably biggest surprise for me was the improvement of North Miami. Now on to the postseason. Let's see if the conference can advance more than 3 or 4 out of the first round. 2 intraconference matchups so at least 2 will advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justafan Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Ok week 1 of tournament: My predictions Let's see if conference does better than their perceived weakness across the state. Hamilton Heights at Maconaquah 45-20 Tippecanoe Valley at Peru 42-14 Rochester at Seeger 35-28 Eastside at Wabash 49-14 Manchester at Whitko 35-7 Adams Central at Southwood 35-20 North Miami at Madison-Grant 35-14 Northfield at Southern Wells 42-0 So I have 4 moving on. I am intrigued about the long trip for Rochester, if Southwood can give Adams Central a fight, and if North Miami can be competitive on the road. Pretty confident about the others.

First_Backer_Inside Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Would really like to see the Knights upset the Jets and really shake up the 1A bracket. Knights are playing some really good ball right now. Goodluck to all the fellow TRC teams. Time to make the conference known state wide again!

I’d take the TRC stacked up against ACC judging by the scores from the conference last night. Congrats on the win last night for AC. Goodluck the rest of the playoffs.

First_Backer_Inside Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Lost half of the conference last week in a tough first round for a lot of teams. It isn't going to get any easier for the TRC conference this week. Who ya got for round 2 of Sectionals? Guerin at Tippecanoe Valley, 7 pm Valley is struggling without their best player. I don't think they can get it done this week against the Catholics, but I did not expect the Oak Hill game to be as close as it was with Guerin, so maybe Oak Hill was able to expose something that Valley can take advantage of. Still gonna be a long shot tho. I'm taking the Catholics. Rochester at Benton Central, 7 pm The Bison have won as many games this year as they have the previous five years combined. The head coach there is doing a fantastic job getting that program turned around. Zebras have another long bus ride to Oxford, but at least they don't have to go all the way to West Lebanon again. I don't think the Bison can stop the three headed monster of Demming, Beck, and Ferverda, especially with the line blocking the way they are. Zebras win and make it to their first Sectional Championship game since 2000. Eastside at Manchester, 7 pm Manchester has won two games this year and both have been against the same team. Lucky first round draw, but season ends for the Squires Friday. Eastside wins this big. Madison-Grant at Northfield, 7 pm Probably the most interesting game of the week, and the one other team other than Rochester who I think can make it to the Sectional Championship. Madison-Grant has a very impressive resume. They also beat a North Miami team that just took it to Northfield the week before. Just depends what Northfield team shows up. I'm taking the Norsemen to support the conference, but they're gonna have to play a great game to make it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking the Norsemen to support the conference, but they're gonna have to play a great game to make it happen. I'm paying close attention to the Madison-Grant at Northfield game since AC will play the winner if they take care of business on Friday against SA. John Harrell has MG 35-24 and I agree that they should win the game, but Northfield is a difficult team to prepare for. Their offense can cause teams problems if they don't have the proper defensive scheme to handle the option. This may be a mistake, but I'm sort of rooting for MG. Northfield has given AC issues in the past even when they were clearly the better team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW was playing some good football towards the end of the offensively. I felt they struggled on defense early in the year. AC has a very good team. It sounded like SW struggled to hold onto the ball early and dug themselves a very big hole. Not many teams have an answer when that happens early. The game plan goes out the door.

Justafan Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Valley did get Jones back last week unexpectedly and he made a big difference in the game against Peru. Look for him to be a much bigger part of the offense this week after just getting cleared to play last Wednesday. Still going to be a big challenge for Valley against Guerin. The play of the conference last week was really unsurprising. Maybe the biggest disappointment was that Southwood was essentially done after 10 minutes of football. Hope AC gets that state title. Rochester should still be playing next week. Hopefully Northfield and Valley can spring upsets but I just want them to both be in the game in the 4th quarter with an opportunity to find a way to survive and advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
