Put it this way: Cincy Moeller beat Dwenger something like 57-0. 6A Center Grove needed OT to beat Moeller by 1. EC beat Moeller 38-28. EC was phenomenal last year. And they returned a lot of kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to your team because they are clearly the top (or one of the top) team in the SIAC, but you guys have yet to score more than 24 points against anyone other than the bottom feeders of the SIAC. VL, Jasper, and North do not have nearly the same dudes that EC has on their defense/team. Let's see how you stack up over your next two before you bring out the cliché's.

Anybody can have a bad game and lose. Heck, look no further than undefeated Reitz getting upset by Boonville last year. I think Memorial will have a tough time against Reitz, in conference and tournament. Losing starting QB and RB is tough to overcome. Maybe Jasper can challenge then in Sectional? EC is another animal though. Huge roster, lots of size and speed, likely Mr Football, defending state winner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s wait until the games are actually played, shall we? Exactly. Obviously, they need to worry about winning their sectional first. But let's say best case scenario...Reitz is healthy by then, the defense is still lights out, and the offense is firing on all cylinders. Then by luck of the draw they get EC at The Bowl with 10,000 in the stands. EC would still be the favorite but definitely not counting out Reitz in that case. They have been winning comfortably and their offense still has yet to play consistently how they're capable. I believe they got the WR Summers and a couple of their linemen back healthy, which obviously could be a difference maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say reitz/memorial winner would have no chance but do feel like they need home field and some breaks...both these teams defenses are stout against the run and throw the ball pretty well but even in Evansville would say EC -14 31 minutes ago, pga said: I wouldn't say reitz/memorial winner would have no chance but do feel like they need home field and some breaks...both these teams defenses are stout against the run and throw the ball pretty well but even in Evansville would say EC -14 Also reitz doesnt have a mcintosh at qb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC was up 28-0 at the half. We blocked a FG and returned it for a TD in the 4th Q to give Enlow some life, then had 2 more late scores to make it a respectable 35-21, but we were never really in the game. I suspect with the injuries we've had, it is likely we come up short in the sectional and find ourselves back in 3A next year, which is fine with me. From what I've seen, Reitz would have to play almost flawlessly to have any chance, unless EC just laid an egg. You ordinarily don't see defending state champs lay an egg. Reitz hasn't played an opponent like EC in a long time. And, I suspect Reitz won't be seriously challenged until Regional, so the challenge for them will be taking on a team like EC (who will punch you in the face) and playing #discplined ball for 4 Qs. It would be worth a drive to see that game though - at the Bowl, not through KY and OH to St. Leon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimeqb Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I just realized Memorial’s senior class has played their entire career in 4A due to things that happened when they were in 6th and 7th grade. Lucky for them the IHSAA thinks winning sectional is enough success and they don’t need to go any deeper in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they would find a way to break up the sectional so we could have a chance to see new teams, as 5 from the conference insures you are most likely to see two by the time sectional finals roll around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screagle Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 SIAC higher ups not smart enough to figure out 2 divisions. I can’t think of a team in the SW Indiana area over the last 10 or so years in any class good enough to compete with this 2023 EC team. Obviously have to play the game but it’s a mismatch no matter who they play from sections 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
