However, Brownsburg does have the horses to navigate it. It has been that way now for several years....south always seems to be a gauntlet, now adding Cathedral to the mix. But I agree BB has the horses and having homefield is a big deal. Their decisive win against BD in the sectional game 1 was an absolute eye opener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think CP is overrated as much as Carroll is just very good. Merrillville is much more overrated than the Dogs. I'll give CP a much better shot against Carroll then I'd give the Pirates against Snider. I don’t think snider makes it to semistate. But again y’all can say excuses but crown point would lose to us if we weren’t missing coaches. We had 2-3 coaches gone for a few games. But it is what it is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a foot and a half on board with Brownsburg at this point. Every time I place two feet on the ship, they seem to underachieve. They'll roll Avon to set up a great regional and possible semi-state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go out on a not so scary limb and say next weeks regional match-up between sectionals 3&4 for the North is for a ticket to LOS. Hopefully the participants in those sectionals feel the same.

BDGiant93 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Brownsburg took advantage of every mistake Ben Davis made. I thought the Giants showed some heart to rally, but the Bulldogs kept making plays to slam the door. Brownsburg is for real, but, like Temp said, every time you start to buy in....... BUT, I think things might be different this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boilerup Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Cp is not overrated! They are 10-0 ! Just because everyone goes by rankings , does that mean they don’t deserve the high praise by coaches and media around the state are giving them! The players and the coaches are undefeated for a reason! May not be to your liking but they have not lost this year. For Cp to advance in this weeks game and later games they must run the ball and eat as much clock as they can and play field position against every team ahead of them. Make teams have long drives to score and keep the clock in their favor! Carroll, HSE,Westfield have better athletes than CP . In my opinion I don’t think CP defense can stop Carroll’s passing game . They sure can’t stop HSE passing game! From what I have seen they have the best Receivers in the State! CP is on their way to be a contender in the North, just not yet. So let’s not pop-poo their achievements! U have to start somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially a team that is coached by a staff with a proven track record. Crown Point is on there way, maybe they're already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And other coaches after playing them are saying the same thing. Crown point will never consistently compete in the DAC. They get a year or two and then fall to bottom. But we will see!

MonkeyButt Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I don't believe any undefeated team is "overrated". However, they may not be as good as their undefeated records says. That all depends on the quality of teams they play. I am not familiar with CP's schedule and because they are in the north and I am from central Indiana I tend to have the central Indy mentality that many 6A northern teams are overrated in comparison to teams in Indy and the surrounding area. But that is only because I have yet to see a 6A team from the north come close to competing with an Indy team for a state championship title.

I think going undefeated is a huge accomplishment. No one should take that away from any program. However, and I know that seems I am negating what I just said, I believe that one undefeated team versus another may not be as good simply because their schedule didn't test them as well as the other undefeated team's schedule did.

MonkeyButt Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 22 minutes ago, Footballking16 said: Isn't that essentially what "overrated means"? I would add that for me for a team to be overrated I think that the hype that goes along with that team also can play into whether not a team is overrated. Last year it was an accomplishment that Merrillville went undefeated, but having a running clock put on you by another team I would say they were overrated. However, if the game was closer, then no, not overrated, just not as good as the other team. I am not saying one cannot be considered overrated and be undefeated. I am just saying that the two don't have to be always true. You can lose by a close margin to a better team, even when it was predicted you should win, and not be overrated IMO.

Note 6A has only been around since 2013 so 9 years old. Back in 5A (pre 6A) the last true Northern team to win (not Central Indiana) was Penn in 2000 with a 21-0 win over Center Grove.
