Should Center Grove, Cathedral, Roncalli, Chatard, Western Boone, and Covenant Christian all give back their 2020 STate Championship Titles because of "Covid". I don't feel they should. Two of the B10's three heavy hitters had key guys opt out in 2020 and IU/Allen benefitted greatly. Yes, on paper and in generic terms "a win is a win" but nothing was normal about that 2020 season and I think the result since speak for themselves. 14 hours ago, Slobberknocker said: Ticket rules. ☹️ Semi-State Football vs. Center Grove - 7 pm Ticket link: public.eventlink.com/tickets?t=58887 websites.eventlink.com/s/ihsaa/Tickets The ticket link will shut down at 6 p.m. on Friday, November 17th.

Footballking16 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Back on topic, didn't mean to derail the thread with an innocuous Tom Allen joke. CG has been there done that these last few seasons and I think that gives them a slight edge. I got CG 34-28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point it seemed like Ben Davis had control of the game. Then Center Grove stormed back with a fury. That 4th qtr and Overtime was some very enjoyable football to watch. Ben Davis like they have against Brownsburg and Cathedral made the plays when needed. It did almost end in disaster when Ben Davis QB1 fumbled the ball, a BD player was Johnny on the spot (3 times) as that football was like a greased pig. Both teams left it all on the field. We will have a new State Champion for the first time in 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 7 hours ago, temptation said: Unbelievable game. It was said that someone would have paid $20 to see that game. Yet some will pay over $200 to watch a Colts game. That will baffle me to the day I die. Ben Davis/Center Grove is worth a lot more than twenty bucks. Quite frankly, any semi-state game is.

Also, cannot be overlooked was the poor snap on the game tying extra point…the BD holder did an amazing job getting that one down and placed correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distance wise it was pretty much a PAT, but you wouldn't kick it from that angle. I didn't even realize what a good hold it was until I saw Kyle Neddenriep's video. Then, I think Channel 13 in Indy had a low angle. Pretty remarkable. Skibinski had to almost stand up. The snap was above his helmet it seemed. Rudolph never stopped either. Coach Mann explained that they put the operation under pressure a lot in practice, and it paid off there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben went to kicking camps all summer and was posting about the harsh angle drills he was doing. Paid off for sure. Hats off to the Trojans on a great run. I think it will get harder and harder to do what they've done as the competition continues to get more and more fierce in 6A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have a new State Champion for the first time in 3 years. When CG took the lead 34-31, I thought there were 2 critical plays in the last BD drive in regulation. The 48 yd pass to Zachary was incredible. QB gets off a tremendous throw just as he was being clobbered by a CG lineman...no way he saw his pass caught. Zachary had been held to one pass completion all game long. Zachary was actually covered very tight by CG defensive back. But the ball was thrown to where only Zachary could pull it down and he makes an outstanding catch.....making it first and goal on the 6 yd line. CG held firm...and the fumble by the BD QB....and it squirted through various hands. If CG recovers, game over and they are moving on to their 5th state title game in a row. But lady luck was with the Giants...they recover, eventually kick FG and history in OT. Amazing how the little things that get almost no print in the paper can play a major role in determining the victor. 2 outstanding teams....both played their butts off and would not back down. Congrats to the Giants!! Go get the title!! Edited November 18, 2023 by Bash Riprock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
