Piratefan101 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Michigan city(0-2) @ Chesterton (1-1)- this game could be close Chesterton will see a Michigan city team that has speed! But the defense for Michigan city so far has been non existent. They have lost to warsaw and laffyette jeff. While Chesterton beat Hobart and lost to warsaw. I’ll take Chesterton 35-14 Laporte(0-2) @ valpo(1-1)- not much to say here Valpo hasn’t called that far off to allow Laporte to compete. Valpo big 42-7 Lake central(1-1) @ portage(1-1)- both teams are trying to rebuild there programs! I’ll take portage in a good fought game 28-24 game of week: crown point @ merrillville- My non bias breakdown: crown point: has a big offense line and a good QB/RB combo. They rolled Lowell and beat Andrean by 10 after a late rally by Andrean. Coach buzz has them on the right path. But Andrean did exploit crown point DBs when it came to pass they showed that crown point can’t play man to man because the DBs arent quick enough to keep up with a really athletic athlete. This needs to be a 3 yards and a cloud of dust control the clock game against a fast athletic defense that crown point hasn’t seen yet. And they haven’t been able to live ball against in 3 years. merrillville: Justin Marshall has proven this year and last year to be a game changer. Senior QB Jaylen Thomas is getting more comfortable each game running the offense. Merrillville has to get the pass game going because there not gonna win a run bs run game with crown point. Merrillville has to much talent! And is to athletic to not control this game after the 1st qtr. prediction: merrillville gets the pass game going and a good balanced rush attack. They also have there defense show up if everyone is healthy and they shut crown point down for most the game. merrillville gets 2 turnovers and that’s the difference in the game merrillville 35-21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrillville could go from “best in state” to “#2 in conference” really fast, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrillville could go from “best in state” to “#2 in conference” really fast, lol. That is not going to happen assuming Merrillville has all of their players available this week. After watching both teams the last two weeks, Merrillville is the superior team. They aren't nearly as big up front as CP but much much faster and athletic. CP defense is a major liability especially their secondary. CP offensive line play is very good, QB undersized but quick, and RB is big but not fast. I don't believe CP has an answer for Marshall but then again not many teams do. CP only chance is Merrillville turns the ball over and CP has big advantage in time of possession. Merrillville by at least 2 td's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how they do in the DAC vs other 6A and 5A squads. Are they better than last year...possibly. They have always had big kids but not elite level talent at skill positions. What I saw Friday night has not changed my opinion in that regard. CP will beat similar DAC opponents to them but vs more athletic teams like Merrillville and MC it will be a challenge.

It’s a very well coached school vs a athlete filled school. And normally in the DAC the athletic wins. Crown point doesn’t have the speed to play with merrillville.

Since then, before Mason came on the scene, they were 12-47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only having to face Valpo on your way to semistate is easy. Now he has to go through Valpo/Chesterton/merrillville. Which he can’t do!

Sectional 2 might be the most competitive in the state with Penn, Carroll, Elkhart, and Warsaw. Then you have Crown Point, Fishers, and Hamilton Southeastern. Much love for Homestead, but I don't think this is the year of the Spartan. Don't sleep on Lafayette Jeff. Not much talk about Elkhart.........judgement day in two weeks.

Can’t take credit for this one. I thought they’d close the gap and have a respectable loss. Didn’t think they’d pull it off in 2022.

RegionFBFan Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hats off to CP!! They simply overpowered them at the line of scrimmage all night. Merrillville could not stop them. CP stopped themselves on turnovers on two possessions the others were methodical marches down the field from the start. CP defense is still a liability especially secondary. I don't understand Coach Seiss' play calling in 2nd half especially the entire 4th quarter. He stopped giving the ball to Marshall and started giving it to Stephens. There is no comparison between those two. Marshall best player on the field and could not be stopped either running or receiving. Great atmosphere at the game! Good to see a large crowd.
