West Noble at Knox, 7:30 pm LaVille at Whiting, 8 pm South Newton at North Judson, 8 pm Triton at Culver, 7 pm Caston at Carroll, 7 pm Alrighty . . . Here's my two cents for the semifinal round: Knox playing at home. Redskins having a year! KNOX Long trip for the Lancers. They'll shake off the bus-lagg with a dominating victory. LAVILLE NJSP should have no problem in this one. TROJANS take this one over their HNAC rival. CARROLL wins Stay healthy! as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinePrint Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 The Knox / West Noble game is the only one that should have any drama. Interesting that we're all picking Knox. Is that because we're all HNAC homers? Or is Knox really that much of a favorite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running clock start of second half. Varsity played the first series on O and D second half then it was JV rest of 3rd and all of 4th. JV scored twice I believe. Gotta say how sweet the Whiting facilities were. Never had been before, and I was impressed. Cool town. It was crappy that the visitors had so many more fans in attendance making the long drive over the home team. In the end this is high school football and they should have had some home team support. Whiting had heart and top notch sportsmanship. LV is healthy and ready for the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think Glenn has the size to win the battle in the trenches and Knox will make you pay in that respect. LaVille is a much different team than they were in week 1. I know you can say that for all teams at this point, but I think the Lancers win and they win by a much bigger margin this time. The score for the first Triton vs NJSP still baffles me. I know Judson struggles against the pass, but the weather this time of year can really affect the pass game. Especially on natural grass. I think Judson wins this time around. Those are my thoughts.

Culver played over there a couple of times when Whiting was 1A. Their fan support was pretty strong back then. Their facilities were cool with a turf field (rare in 1A) and you could actually see the lake and downtown Chicago from the stands. A railroad track ran by the field with trains going by every so often. Definitely a memorable place to play!

Trojan67 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Glenn at Knox The Falcons have been a mystery this year. They have had a couple of games that have been head scratchers, but nonetheless, this game should be better than the last. Knox was tested pretty well against West Noble. I am interested to see how healthy they are after that test. I can see it going either way, but ultimately, Knox is the better of the 2 teams. Knox 35 Glenn 31 Bremen at LaVille You know how that Pioneer's field is called "The Pit" and that it was notoriously known for being one of the worst fields in the state? Yeah. Lancer Field should take the #1 one spot. Both teams are going to be impacted by the poor field conditions. I am not sure if they are considering moving to Plymouth or someplace like that, but I can only imagine that LaVille's field is going to be like walking into a quick sand pit after all of the rain we have had and potentially will have more at some point this week. Either way, I think Bremen will be more affected by the conditions of the field which makes LaVille's chances better. LaVille 21 Bremen 18 North Judson at Triton I have always thought that after the first couple of years between these 2 teams that this game would turn into a really good rivalry. Both teams have played each other 11 times over the last 8 years and will be the second sectional championship game between the 2. I think the 2 key difference between these 2 teams is depth and speed. That was what I noticed in the first matchup. It seemed like Triton was able to sub guys out a little more. I know the passing game also was huge for Triton in their win, but being able sub is a blessing the Trojans have over the Jays. Triton's field should be in pretty good shape. Fireworks will be booming after the game. Triton 42 Judson 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinePrint Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Glad to see Knox pull it out Friday night. They were tested for sure! A WN receiver had one slip through his hands in the last minute. Catching that would have put them in field goal range. That was a nail-biter for sure! I expected more offense from both sides in that one. Not surprised at any of the other outcomes Friday night. Shutout performances by LaVille, Judson and Triton. Should be some fun games this week! I would love to see LaVille move their game to Plymouth! Surely Bremen would be okay with that considering they like to sling it around. But LaVille is probably okay with playing in the mud. 34 minutes ago, Oldschool said: Is Wilcox expecting to play Friday? What was his injury? If Wilcox is out Friday that's not good for the Jays. Will Triton have anyone in street clothes this week? I would love to see Reichert back. Any chance of that? The HNAC is favored to have 3 regional representatives! We know there'll be one. And I think LaVille will roll the Lions. I haven't decided how I feel about the Knox / Glenn game yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerFran Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Glenn @ Knox- Knox Football team will be too much for Glenn. Bremen @ LaVille- Lancers win in a close rematch Judson @ Triton- Judson has some solid pieces, but they do not have a full 11 to beat the Trojans. Look for Triton to get the ground game going and open up the play action game against Judson. The field position game cannot be understated with how well Shively kicks the ball. Judson will have to drive 80 yards every drive unless the D can make some plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littledog Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Glenn @ Knox- Knox comes out with a sectional championship on Friday night. I previously said they would win out easily until they had a tough matchup with Hanover Central in the regioanals. They had a scare last week but Russ has them refocused. 42-20 Bremen @ LaVille- Lancers win in a grind out battle. Their defense steps up the whole game to win this for them. 13-0 Judson @ Triton- Triton has been making room in their trophy room since the week 7 beatdown. Can judson stop the onslaught? Maybe coach Lambert has made a trip to see his ole buddy in Rensselaer and learned the phonebooth offense to hold the ball all game. Picking Judson due to being a homer. Score: 2-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
