NWI FOOTBALL REGIONAL SCHEDULE WITH PREDICTIONS

[Piratefan101]

Regional championship schedule for NWI with my predictions 

 

1A 

north Judson @ park Tudor: I don’t know much about either team except for what I have read. North Judson seems to be on another level. And park Tudor will have problems with the allaround great team play!! North Judson wins 42-21

 

2A 

LCC @ Andrean: battle of two top football programs in the state! Great history! Great coaching! Great game! Drayk bowen is to much for LCC! Andrean wins 28-17

3A none

4A none

5A 

merrillville @ Valpo: earlier this season merrillville ran away with the game in the 2nd half! Both teams had injuries. Valpo was missing there starting RB! While merrillville was missing A LB and Justin Marshall was hampered by a injury! This game comes down to who’s defense is better and sorry to break it to you guys… but… Valpo can’t throw which makes them one dimensional. Merrillville has opened up there play book and is healthy for the 1st time since week 1. I’ll take the pirates running away in this game 42-14

Absolutely. Think this game could be pretty close

Tough call.  Although the "Region" encompasses Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties, NJ is in in Starke County to the Southeast.

Depends which “Region” you’re talking about. The State divides Indiana into Regions for a number of governmental purposes. Region One is known as “Northwest Indiana,” and is comprised of the counties of Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Jasper, Newton, Pulaski, and Starke.

I always just assumed "the region" referred to the counties on central time.

FWIW, North Judson is on central time.

[scarab527]

Ah, the old debate about what's really 'the region'. IMO The Region goes no further than LaPorte to the East and Lowell to the South, and even that's pushing it.

As are South Newton, North Newton, Rensselaer, Kankakee Vallee, even John H. Castle High School in Newburgh.

Region folks don't like to claim individuals from "south of 30."

Can you blame them? (I kid, I kid)

Do you consider yourself a burb of Chicago? Then you're from The Region. That was always my thought.

How far south do the Bears fans go?

Can't tell you that, but I can tell you how far east they go, and I know for certain that Fort Wayne isn't considered The Region.

They wish.

@Coach Nowlin is pretty far south … and he’s as “Bears fan” as they come! Actually, he lives in Lake County, but spends a lot of time in Jasper County.

Large infestation of them in Newton County.

Lol, not so much. 

[Whiting89]

I would say bears are behind the cowboys for titles of America’s team so there are bears fan everywhere

 

i also worked in Michigan city for a year and no one their considered them part of the region 

 

 

[BTF]

I'll clarify by saying that Fort Wayne is more of a Colts town. Back when Indiana didn't have a football team, most fans gravitated toward Chicago. The Steelers also have a major presence in the Fort. I'd say Colts fans outnumber Bears fans 2-1 now. 

Disclaimer: I don't watch the NFL anymore. Someone else might be better equipped to answer this question. 

[Boilernation]

I've viewed The Region and NWI as 2 different areas. The Region is likely just a shortened term for the Calumet River Region, which is what a specific area is commonly referred to. Towns outside of The Region, Michigan City, LaPorte, Lowell, etc. I've just considered as part of NWI.
