Transcript
- 0:12[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome high school football fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for our sectional semi final recap and reaction show.
- 0:19[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your host Greg Mendel.
- 0:21[SPEAKER_00]: I am joined by Matthew Schultz Finkler here to recap and react to every sectional in Indiana with our emphasis on some games in Central Indiana and the game the Matt went to and some games we've watched on film.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_00]: Our weekly look at the
- 0:39[SPEAKER_00]: high school football week and Matt were down to 96 teams.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_01]: Going through John Harold Sagerin and seeing that there's 313 teams and seeing that many have been eliminated I'm like, oh, gosh, we're already to the end.
- 0:53[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, we're already getting right toward the end.
- 0:57[SPEAKER_00]: Just four weeks to go after this one.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_00]: Shut up, shut up, shut up.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, but the good news is basketball season's right around the corner.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_00]: And we're also gonna have high school basketball report camp.
- 1:11[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, for that girl's basketball season is literally just right around me.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a girl's basketball fan, we'll lucky you.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_00]: Class six A, sectional one, number five crown point 43 to 33 to three over, number nine, Merrillville Lake Central be Harris in 57 to 40 and a shoot out.
- 1:30[SPEAKER_00]: So the sectional championship, number five crown point at Lake Central should be all crown point met one.
- 1:37[SPEAKER_00]: Section L2 is number 6-pin 41-14 over Valpo, Elcart Reportage 38-7, the Sectional Championship.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_00]: 7-3 Elcart at 10-0-pin, pin 1 that game early in the year, but should be a pretty good one.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 3 are first local sectional Hamilton-South Eastern swept the Budsock this year 23-14 over Fissures, which ended its season the winlists.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_00]: and they went scoreless in the second half in this one.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_00]: And the big win the game of the week was number 10, Carmel 48 to 45 over number three Westfield.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_00]: and it was every bit the game of the week mat.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_00]: Carmel 34 points in the second half, Jackson treed away their quarterback was fantastic.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_00]: He was 12 for 13 in the second half.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_00]: 226 yards and three touchdowns.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: Chris Harris is one of the best receivers in Indiana.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_00]: Got three second half passes for 151 yards and three touchdowns.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_00]: And
- 2:37[SPEAKER_00]: Westfield's field goal attempt to tie it was blocked with four seconds left, so it'll be five and five rambles to South Eastern at number ten and six and four carmal neighbors in the sectional championship game map.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_01]: I was actually at Subway, well it was 45-38 and I refused to leave until the game was over.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_01]: I declared it over and then you texted me.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_00]: Did you turn it back on immediately as I said that, though?
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: Of course I did.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: Totally.
- 3:11[SPEAKER_00]: And Westfield surprisingly got back in the field goal range.
- 3:14[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that game was over on the turn over on downs and I was wrong.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_01]: At that point, it was like Westfield and Cornel really felt like a college football game.
- 3:25[SPEAKER_01]: When I saw the on-site kick, I had that excitement.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_01]: I always get when something maddening is happening in college football.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: And Carmel should win that section on Championship Game, but I like the way Hamilton saw the stars playing.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_00]: They started knowing the Rether No Five and Five.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: So, I give him a chance.
- 3:47[SPEAKER_01]: HSD's defensive coordinator AJ Grisenko was my wait room teacher at Taylor.
- 3:53[SPEAKER_01]: and he was defensive coordinator, Taylor, back then.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_01]: So seeing him rise his way up to go in from Taylor to hand over central and now hand over to HSC's pretty cool.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_00]: Very nice, and I think that's a program on the rise.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be good next year.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 4, it was number 8 Fort Wayne Carroll 35 to nothing over Noblesville, homestead beat Fort Wayne,
- 4:21[SPEAKER_00]: So the championship game number eight, Fort Wayne Carroll at four, and six homestead, and that should be all Carroll.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: Agreed.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 5, it was Ben Davis 32 to 10 over Avon.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_00]: Avon season started really well and ended very poorly.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_00]: Kishontayler, Rush for 17 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries and DJ Mitchell ran for two touchdowns for the Giants and the other game was number one Brownsburg 48 to 10 over Giantsville, Brownsburg scored 28 points in the second quarter.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_00]: They had 22 first down, just eight for Zion'sville, and it was all Brownsburg and I don't see anybody beating them.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see anybody getting in the in Brownsburg's way at all.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_01]: I mean earlier this season, I saw someone say it really should just be Brownsburg and you pick Brownsburg until they lose.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, I don't know, they lost a lot.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_01]: This could be the year and it's just it's become a program.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a national program, I'd say.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_00]: I give Warren Central or maybe even Lawrence North of Chance if they play him, but probably not.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_01]: This has gone to a point where until they lose, and I'm just going to keep picking them.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_01]: They just, they're always going to get do on talent, it feels like.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: They're at home, by the way, in the sectional championship against five and five, been day we should win that one easily as well.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_01]: I actually picked Avon in the pick of games and it really was just because my steps history actually went to Avon into, I liked how Avon was playing early on, thought it couldn't have been a fluke, and then I see the score.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they did lose one of the best players in the state early in the year, very war-field, they were never the same again.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: That's very disheartening for all the folk at Avon, I'm sure.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_00]: It was Norse Central 38 to 28 over Pike and Chase Grove, the star quarterback at Norse Central 348 yards and four touchdowns, the Panthers also intercepted Pike four times Cameron Johnson and Braille installings to a piece.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_00]: And number four Lawrence, North 17 to 13 over rival Lawrence Central.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_00]: earlier in the year Lawrence North blew out Lawrence Central.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_00]: We kind of assumed they'd do it again, but last year Lawrence Central pulled off the upset in the postseason after losing a Lawrence North in the regular season.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_00]: This time, Isaiah V. and Moore did not let that happen.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_00]: He had 127 yards and a touchdown.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: And
- 7:06[SPEAKER_00]: Lawrence North had 11 tackles for loss including all state line-backer Anthony Whitfield with three.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be eight and two Lawrence North at three and seven North Central in the sectional championship that was a blowout the first time around.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it will be this time.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to wait Norse Central's play.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, one central, I just have to assume weird stuff is going to happen every time they play a loss in North, especially
- 7:35[SPEAKER_00]: which I was going to happen again.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_00]: It really looked like they were going to upset him again.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_01]: And the first thing I thought of was like, of course, of course, weird crap is happening.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: Section 7, number two, Warren Central still hadn't beaten after a 47-10 win over Perry, Moridian.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: The Warriors led 41-3 at the half.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_00]: Mark East Ballard had two interceptions for the Warriors.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_00]: And Franklin Central 41 to cater central 23 flashes led 35 to 14 after three quarters behind Caden Marsins 13 for 19233 yard three touchdown performance so to be number two war in central at five and six Franklin Central and what I want to say about this section on that is
- 8:23[SPEAKER_00]: I get the success factor, I typically like it, but the jump from 5A to 6A in football is pretty unfair to Decatur Central.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_00]: It just can't compete.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_01]: That's why to almost feel bad if new pal ends up winning this week and next week.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would just be completely unfair to them.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: That's a jump that no one's going to be able to make.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't new pal still have 4A enrollment?
- 8:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they do.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: I can see it.
- 8:56[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 8, it was Columbus, North 50 to 15 over Jeffersonville.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_00]: Number 7, Center Grove, 48 to 14 over Wightland.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: Center Grove, Jeremiah Guide, caught three passes for 68 yards and two touchdowns.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: Trojans ran for 229 yards and four touchdowns.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: And they're going to dominate Columbus North this week as well at home.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: And that should set up a really good regional between Warren, Central, and Senator Grove.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_00]: They played a really good game earlier this year.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_00]: Class 5A, section 09, it was monster 35 to 6 over Ham and Central in Chesterton, 31 to 13 over Michigan City, 5 and 5 monster at 5 and 5 Chesterton for that sectional championship.
- 9:42[SPEAKER_00]: And Concord 54, South Ben Adams 28, LePort 42 in Goshen 13 in sectional 10, as sectional championship is 3 and 7, LePort the slicers at 5 and 5 Concord the minute man, two great
- 9:57[SPEAKER_00]: Section 11 is number 9 Fort Wayne Snyder, 37 to 14 over Fort Wayne's South.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_00]: I once worked there, and number 4 Warsaw 44 to nothing over Fort Wayne Wayne.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_00]: So it is number 9 Snyder at number 4 Warsaw in the sectional 11 championship.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: Section 12, number 7, Lafayette, Jeff 87 to nothing over Anderson, Jeff scored 57 points in the first quarter and led 80 to nothing a half-time mat and for some reason you watched this one.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_01]: Jeff could have easily won 120 to nothing.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_01]: Wish I was joking, core, poor Shane, love you Shane, me too.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_00]: Huntington North, 4d9 to 21 over Maccuchon, Viking scored 28 points in the fourth quarter to pull away in that one.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_00]: Christian Jimison, 160 yards, and three touchdowns, Parker Dordy, 149 yards, receiving and three touchdowns, and it is 8m2 Jeff at 6m4 Huntington North.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: For that sectional championship, and I'd like more chances.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_01]: I really like what I saw from Jeff on film against Anderson, but it doesn't count because it's Anderson, so I don't really know where to go with that.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I really like what Huntington North is doing and they've got some really good weapons so does Jeff, by the way.
- 11:28[SPEAKER_00]: sectional 13 it'll be number one cathedral and number two new pal for the sectional championship.
- 11:34[SPEAKER_00]: Both teams are seven and three the game will be played in Indianapolis the location as of the time I research this still not known where they will play that game.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_01]: Actually John Hale site says it's gonna be at Arlington.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_01]: And that's actually the favorite of which game I'm going to pick to go to this week.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't decided, but that's the favorite.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_01]: So anybody want to try to track me down and stock when you go right ahead.
- 11:59[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_00]: Stock, Matt, everybody.
- 12:01[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would be a good one to go to on Friday.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_00]: It was New Power 53 to 35 over Pinnleton.
- 12:08[SPEAKER_00]: I actually picked Pinnleton in this month.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_00]: I know you didn't, and Nupal led 35 to 7 in the second quarter.
- 12:17[SPEAKER_00]: Pinnonton actually cut it 38 28 in the fourth really nice season for the Arabians.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Parks, although ran all over them twice this year, including 211 yards and four touchdowns on Friday night.
- 12:32[SPEAKER_00]: Pinnon tonight's quarterback Brent Gray, 378 yards and three touchdowns, also ran for 68 yards and two more scores.
- 12:40[SPEAKER_00]: He's a really, really good one.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: He is headed to Taylor to play football next year.
- 12:46[SPEAKER_00]: New power had over 300 yards on the ground and did not put.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_00]: And number one cathedral beat Mount Vernon 49 to seven should be a great game on Friday night.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_00]: Number eight playing field, 57 to nothing over tech.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I think playing field is a sleeper in this class.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: Five, eight to two.
- 13:07[SPEAKER_00]: Bryce Abang, six touchdown passes.
- 13:10[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, six touchdown total, four passing and two rushing.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think either one of those teams.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think there's a team in class five A that's a typical dominant state championship level team in the entire class.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe Bloomington, South, maybe Cathedral,
- 13:28[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to tell.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_00]: So I think playing field has a chance in this term.
- 13:32[SPEAKER_00]: I actually think 4A is better than 5A this year.
- 13:36[SPEAKER_00]: You are absolutely correct, that is the case.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_00]: Chotard should have beaten cathedral, so that might tell you what year.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: It's especially more competitive at the top.
- 13:48[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 15 is number three, Bloomington's out, the 63 to nothing over Franklin, and it was,
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: Blooming to North 40 to 7 over Seymour.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: So this number is Re-South at Blooming to North, South 8 and 2, North 5 and 5, and South 1 that first matchup really easily.
- 14:10[SPEAKER_00]: Should've win it to get.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_00]: and section 16 Evansville, North 45 to 13 over New Albany and number 10 castle in a dramatic win 30 to 29 over number 6 Floyd Central.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be 5 and 5 of Evansville, North at 6 and 4 castle in the southernmost 5.8 section.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_00]: Class 4 A, we start in the north, Hammond,
- 14:40[SPEAKER_00]: The last year they were three and eight, so how in the world did they shoot up so fast?
- 14:46[SPEAKER_01]: It is quite a turnaround, man.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_01]: That's a tough sectional.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_01]: It actually takes St. Joseph to win that whole sectional in my bracket.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, me too.
- 14:59[SPEAKER_00]: Section 19, it was number 1 for Windranger 43-13 over the Calb, number 5 East Noble.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_00]: 53-17 over Columbia City, after I declared East Noble Dead Matt.
- 15:12[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the refs?
- 15:13[SPEAKER_01]: You may or may not have missed a hold on Columbia City's long touchdown run, the first one.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_01]: And on the next possession East Noble snapped it over their funders head.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_01]: So after a clutch stand by the Knights, it was 10-0 thing East Noble safety over pursued
- 15:29[SPEAKER_01]: He took advantage of that for a touchdown after a potential block in the back, and after that it was 53 nothing East Noble.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_01]: Love Alex Stewart, and I love the job he does there.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's gonna be a tough one though.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_00]: On Friday at home, against number one winner, that defense for Dwaynear is just really good.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the defense for East Noble is also really really good.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_01]: Stewart told me over the summer that they were bringing back nine.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's happened with the injuries, but...
- 15:59[SPEAKER_00]: that's one that like they better have film up so I guess that's another one that you're considering going to even though it's all the way up in Kendallville.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah it's probably at the bottom because that's a two-hour drive you know I'm not you
- 16:18[SPEAKER_00]: Another one to consider, sectional 20 is number 10 Logan's port, 11 and 0 at 8 and 3 Mutsi Central.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it on the list.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_00]: It should be.
- 16:28[SPEAKER_00]: Mutsi Central came back, scored the only points of the fourth quarter and then Yorktown's attempt at a game-winning field will hit the upright.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_00]: So Mutsi Central is in the sectional championship game after
- 16:43[SPEAKER_00]: losing to Yorktown earlier in year 24 to 7 Carlos Eccles at a 96 yard touchdown return kick off return and a 31 yard reception for Mason Ferguson.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: And that was a thriller.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I picked Yorktown to win that one, but to be honest, I always had the gut feeling for Muncie.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_01]: At Logan's port will be without Carson Jackson, their subline-backer, he was ejected after a hit which they said was a targeting personally.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really think it was the right call.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_01]: I think Logan's port is appealing it and another thing is like his dad apparently says it's one game and then more people in the comments are saying his dad is saying that and then
- 17:29[SPEAKER_01]: Other people in the comments were like they told the J.
- 17:31[SPEAKER_01]: County AD that it's too.
- 17:33[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really know what it is right now, but that's definitely something to keep an eye on.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_01]: That is a big loss because I believe Jackson is a D1 athlete.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no question him.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: He is dangerous on both sides of the ball and that is a big miss.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: sectional 21 great sectional championship set up for Friday night number seven Danville at number three shiitard Danville 11 and oh shiitard nine and two for the Warriors a scored 38 straight points after berbuff took an early seven nothing lead.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_00]: Danville intercepted three passes.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Lynch, Griffin, Hackelman, and Jacob Foltz, each had an interception.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_00]: Hackelman returned his for a touchdown.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_00]: And in Chattard's 38 to 31 win over Northview, Trojan's got to stop at the 36-yard line on fourth down.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_00]: Danny Adams, one of the best players in Indiana, two rushing touchdowns.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_00]: William Graves had two receiving touchdowns.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_00]: sectional championship at Shattard and Matt I would have picked Shattard in fact I picked Shattard to win the state championship coming into this but they've really struggled to win their first two games.
- 18:44[SPEAKER_00]: I still believe in Shattard.
- 18:46[SPEAKER_00]: I mean this is Shattard we're talking about.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_00]: You're right and that's why I picked him and they lost Duke of the Droll earlier in the year and I was watching that game thing and this team's gonna win class for a but they struggled a little more
- 19:04[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to pick a stage champion and say any school other than Shotard.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_00]: I hear that.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 22, another one of those schools, though, number two, Ron Colley, 56 to 13, over Greenwood, Dominic Crowmer, 120s, Reyards, and three touchdowns.
- 19:23[SPEAKER_00]: Passing, receiver, Luke Rotter, 78 yards, and two of those touchdowns.
- 19:29[SPEAKER_00]: And Moore's will be Beach Grove, 22 to 17, and a game I said would be one of the best in Central Indiana, and it was,
- 19:37[SPEAKER_00]: Moore'sville stop Beach Grove at the one yard line on force and goal with under three minutes left to preserve wind.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_00]: So seven and four Moore'sville at number two Ron Colley in that sectional championship.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_00]: Section 23, it was number four East Central, another team that could win it all, 68 to 7 over Jennings County, Columbus East 47 to 7 over Shelbyville.
- 20:01[SPEAKER_00]: So at number four East Central at 7 and 4 Columbus East, that one will be all East Central.
- 20:08[SPEAKER_01]: Shout out to Tyler Campbell for the job he's done in his first year at Columbus East.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people look at Ethan Robbins and Michael Fenner's for the job.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_01]: The turnaround the conical has had lately in football, but I really believe it was Tyler Campbell that built it and just shocked them up into what they are today.
- 20:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'll keep Devlin keep my eye on the Olympians them.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 24 was Evansville Harris in 58 to 26 over Bedford, North Lawrence and Heritage Hills 42 to 26 over number 8 Evansville Wrights So to be 5 and 6 Evansville Harris in at 9 and 2 Heritage Hills And that's sectional championship
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: We moved to class 3A, section 125, number 2, and Ray in 49 to nothing over Benton Central to win Lake 63 to 25 over him and Noel.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: So it's number 2, and Ray in at Twin Lakes for that sectional championship and and Ray and should win that.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: But Twin Lakes pretty good year.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if Twin Lakes had a better defense, I would have put that on consideration of games I go to.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_01]: Monacello is only an hour away for me.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_00]: It is, it's kind of scenic, but I'd only be able to see the scenery on the way there.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_00]: Section 026 was West Noble 50 to 15 over Jimtown and Angola be Fairfield 28 to 7.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_00]: So it's 10 and 1 West Noble 8 and 3 Angola for the sectional championship of Section 026.
- 21:43[SPEAKER_00]: Section 127, number seven, Bluffton 54 to 14 over Norwell and Heritage in Adam Central's long run of post-season success with a 20 to 17 when over the jets in over time.
- 21:57[SPEAKER_00]: So it's eight and three Heritage at number seven, Bluffton.
- 22:00[SPEAKER_00]: Bluffton looks like they might be up for a little run here.
- 22:06[SPEAKER_01]: I could see it, especially with Adam's central being down this year.
- 22:11[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they're gonna have to look out for and the regional is probably Hamilton Heights.
- 22:15[SPEAKER_00]: The Huskies beat Western 30 to 6th behind Lucas Whitaker's 252 yards and four touchdowns.
- 22:22[SPEAKER_00]: Grady Steiner caught four of those passes for 146 yards and two of those scores.
- 22:27[SPEAKER_00]: Grady and Dullström had 11 tackles on defense including three for loss.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_00]: The Huskies had six tackles for loss as a team.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_00]: It's the eighth straight win for Hamilton Heights.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_00]: After starting on three, one of those wins was over.
- 22:42[SPEAKER_00]: Their sectional championship game of Pona West Laugh yet.
- 22:45[SPEAKER_00]: Comes into the sectional championship game at four and seven after upsetting number nine, McConnell, Welfare 54 to 26.
- 22:53[SPEAKER_00]: The Red Devils as at least one of us predicted on the
- 22:58[SPEAKER_00]: Preview and predictions show had a ton of yards in this one, 458 yards, 232 through the air, 226 on the ground.
- 23:09[SPEAKER_00]: So it's taken for a Hamiltonides at 4 in 7, West Lafayette, for an all-housier conference sectional championship.
- 23:16[SPEAKER_01]: You were the one that said the heads up that in the Conquanies to play better defense if they want to win those season.
- 23:23[SPEAKER_01]: Give me credit for that.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that one was kind of easy to see coming.
- 23:30[SPEAKER_00]: Some teams that aren't even very good were puttin' some points on Macanaquad.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it's a different world in the three rivers and the Huxia conference.
- 23:38[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 29, as expected, it will be 8-3 Western Boone at 9-and-2 Tri-West, Western Boone beat North Montgomery 35 to nothing, Nathan Thompson, 67 yards, and three touchdowns, Tri-West to beat Speedway for the second time 43-21, Jack Sorghi through for 285 yards, and two touchdowns, Rand for 31 yards, and another score.
- 24:06[SPEAKER_00]: Jack Sorghi's that good, isn't he?
- 24:08[SPEAKER_00]: May's pretty good.
- 24:10[SPEAKER_00]: Is that just one of the best backup quarterbacks of all time?
- 24:14[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you backed up one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
- 24:19[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 30, number five Lawrenceburg 57 to 23 of a Greensburg and Batesville beat Franklin.
- 24:26[SPEAKER_00]: County 35 are nothing setting up what should be a great sectional championship game.
- 24:30[SPEAKER_00]: Number five Lawrenceburg 10 and one at nine and two Batesville.
- 24:36[SPEAKER_01]: I actually am picking base fill one because I like that little town past it every time to go through Cincinnati.
- 24:43[SPEAKER_01]: I would wouldn't try to follow Lawrenceburg a little bit and base fill has had their number a little bit lately there's there's sneaky good program.
- 24:54[SPEAKER_00]: They are by the way I picked Lawrenceburg to win the state championship and our pick him and I was wrong because I'm about to tell you who's going to win the state championship here coming up.
- 25:06[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
- 25:08[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 31, number 4, Indian Creek 29, and nothing over Vincen's, Sullivan defeated it.
- 25:14[SPEAKER_00]: Scottsburg 56-42
- 25:17[SPEAKER_00]: Indian Creek has allowed just 21 points over its last five games there, at Sullivan, which by the way has been scoring a lot, a points lately, and that sexual championship game should be a pretty good one Sullivan, just six and five, though.
- 25:29[SPEAKER_00]: And sectional 32, and this is where you, I believe your state champion is going to come from number one Evansville Memorial 63 to 28 over number three Gibson Southern.
- 25:40[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 25:41[SPEAKER_00]: And number eight, Evansville, modern day 35 to six over Mount Vernon.
- 25:44[SPEAKER_00]: So number one, Evansville, Memorial goes across top.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_00]: Take on number eight, modern day at nine and two.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_00]: And I think my memorial is gonna be your state champion met.
- 25:53[SPEAKER_00]: I think I have to ride your shatard.
- 26:00[SPEAKER_01]: But that would be a really cool road to be a semi-steakin.
- 26:02[SPEAKER_00]: So my state, yeah, semi-steakin.
- 26:04[SPEAKER_01]: That would be a really cool one to see.
- 26:09[SPEAKER_00]: I really want to go to a semi-state game to see.
- 26:11[SPEAKER_00]: You're picking a witch class 2A, sectional 33 knocks, 51 to 7 over Laville, Wheeler defeated Rinseleer Central, 21 to nothing, to 5 and 6 knocks at 10 and 1 Wheeler for that sectional championship next Friday.
- 26:25[SPEAKER_01]: I looked at Knox's schedule and honestly it's not that I mean, yes, they're definitely down compared to how they've been, but a lot of it really is just the schedule they play.
- 26:39[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 34 was number four east side, 41 to 13 over Bremen and Rochester, 36 to 13 over Central Noble.
- 26:47[SPEAKER_00]: All five zebra touchdowns came on the ground.
- 26:51[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be number four east side, 10 and 0 at six and five Rochester for that sectional championship and congratulations to Rochester for getting this far.
- 27:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's gonna be all east side.
- 27:04[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's no doubt that we're headed for an east side lapel, so my state.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 35, O'Kill 35, the 26th over Delphi, the Golden Eagles erase date 20 to 14, half-time deficit, behind Dylan Archer's 188 yards and three touchdowns, jet-out ran for 200 yards.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_00]: 28 yards including a 65-yard touchdown run, Western Brown through for 108 yards and three touchdowns, and 34, 220 eight yards and a score for the Oracles.
- 27:41[SPEAKER_00]: and the game, the Matt attended Lewis Cass 50 to 19 over Tippedon.
- 27:48[SPEAKER_00]: Lewis Cass scored 23 points in the first quarter, 36 points in the first half, Connor Mac 231 yards and three touchdowns in.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_00]: Matt it was all King's all night.
- 28:01[SPEAKER_01]: Dude, you can not understand just how not only strong, but fast Connor Mac is on film.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_01]: I really wish he was a little taller because if he was, he would be a college running back.
- 28:11[SPEAKER_00]: And the sectional championship would be 6 and 5 uphill at 8 and 3 loose cast and I would a guest coming into the sectional that'd be uphill now and not so sure.
- 28:21[SPEAKER_01]: Man, seeing Lewis cast in person like their physical, they're often to blind, particularly the guards, all my goodness.
- 28:32[SPEAKER_00]: Section 136, it was number 10 Haters Town, 33-16 over Shenandoah.
- 28:37[SPEAKER_00]: Just like the first time the two teams played, Shenandoah led at half time, Haters Town dominated the second half, and it was lapel 47 and nothing over Alexandria, and they could have won that game by a whole bunch more.
- 28:50[SPEAKER_00]: If I scored the first two opponents, 97 to 7, they are juggernaut and I don't see anybody in the Northbeat and them.
- 28:57[SPEAKER_00]: including this sectional championship.
- 29:00[SPEAKER_00]: 11 and oh, hey,iers town, number 10 at 10 and one lapel.
- 29:04[SPEAKER_00]: And I know, hey,iers town's ranked in the number, and there are 11 and oh, but I don't see them winning at lapel.
- 29:09[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know either.
- 29:10[SPEAKER_01]: I actually took a peek at that game earlier today, and lapel really is playing their best ball at the right time, and they were pretty freaking good at the getting of the year.
- 29:20[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 29:22[SPEAKER_00]: They, the South is loaded.
- 29:29[SPEAKER_00]: And speaking of the South, here we go, sectional 37, number three, Lutheran 35 to 13 over Triton Central.
- 29:36[SPEAKER_00]: Number five, Eastern Hancock, 39 to nothing over-ritter, setting up what we expected all along.
- 29:42[SPEAKER_00]: Number three, Lutheran, 10 and O at number five, Eastern Hancock, 11 and O.
- 29:49[SPEAKER_00]: What we expected, Matt?
- 29:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I really want to see Eastern Hancock with Hillary and match now.
- 29:57[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be great for the sake for the state championship.
- 30:01[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be great for the conference, too.
- 30:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, wood.
- 30:05[SPEAKER_00]: For Lutheran Brailin Riddner, rushed for 132 yards and three touchdowns, and also cut 127 yards of passes.
- 30:14[SPEAKER_00]: For Eastern Hank, Cocklaid led the 39-nothing win, 39-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-1.
- 30:19[SPEAKER_00]: They're second straight shutout in the post-season, about hunt through Fraudner in 67 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 116 yards, and two touchdowns for Eastern Hancock.
- 30:30[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 38 is Monroe via 42 to 32 over, Knorrets puttin' behind to Brody Campbell's 88 yards and two touchdowns.
- 30:38[SPEAKER_00]: And number two soft puttin' them 56 to nothing over Green Castle.
- 30:42[SPEAKER_00]: Ty Benton three more touchdowns that gives him nine in the post-season so far.
- 30:48[SPEAKER_01]: he's going to go on a nice run.
- 30:50[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be really cool to see just the total like 22 touchdowns or whatever.
- 30:57[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional James Jibba to be five and sixman rovia at unbeaten second rank defending state champion South button and I think they're winning it again right here too.
- 31:07[SPEAKER_00]: Section 139 number one Brownstown Central 41 to 7 over Salem, Switzerland County 49 to 41 over Clarksville.
- 31:15[SPEAKER_00]: So it's number one Brownstown Central at Switzerland County, and I hope it's Brownstown.
- 31:21[SPEAKER_00]: I know you do.
- 31:24[SPEAKER_00]: But I just think soft button number is too good.
- 31:28[SPEAKER_00]: Sectional 40 was a Lenton 54 to 37 over Tel City and number 9 North Posey over Palely 42 to 21, 3 and 8 Lenton at 10 and 1 North Posey for the Sectional Championship.
- 31:41[SPEAKER_00]: And Class A, sectional 41, West Central 38 to 8 over North Newton.
- 31:46[SPEAKER_00]: Number 4, North, Judson 48 to 20, both teams are 10 and 1.
- 31:50[SPEAKER_01]: I really like the job that Mark Hall does at West Central.
- 31:53[SPEAKER_01]: He's taking them from the program that always loses and there and out they're always winning.
- 31:59[SPEAKER_01]: And it's really hard to do that at a 1a school like West Central.
- 32:04[SPEAKER_01]: Yes it is.
- 32:04[SPEAKER_00]: Good coach, can do it though.
- 32:07[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of patients from the administration
- 32:11[SPEAKER_01]: but it seems awesome that they have given him the time, he's given them the time, the oil tease both ways.
- 32:18[SPEAKER_01]: They see eye to eye, and I like the direction that West Central is going in.
- 32:25[SPEAKER_00]: Section 142 was central Catholic 54 to nothing over Tri-County.
- 32:30[SPEAKER_00]: Clinton Perry beat North White 47 to eight.
- 32:33[SPEAKER_00]: The go-fers led 34 to nothing at halftime.
- 32:37[SPEAKER_00]: Ryder Mitchell had two rushing touchdowns.
- 32:40[SPEAKER_00]: Alex King added a 10 yard touchdown run on the first possession after halftime.
- 32:46[SPEAKER_00]: So to be five and six central Catholic at Clinton Perry, just seven and four, that should be a pretty good one.
- 32:53[SPEAKER_01]: Also earlier in the year, I had taken a peek at Tri-County on film.
- 32:58[SPEAKER_01]: I had seen that they had only at 13 kids out, and they also pretty much the entire season had been very last and staggering until this game, and apparently, only losing by 54 to LCC, is good enough to make them go from 3-13 to 3-11, so who did they pass?
- 33:23[SPEAKER_01]: Tri-central is now last and I think Lincoln of Cambridge City.
- 33:29[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, that makes sense.
- 33:32[SPEAKER_01]: Don't quote me on the on the Lincoln one though.
- 33:35[SPEAKER_01]: It makes sense.
- 33:37[SPEAKER_00]: Sexual 43.
- 33:38[SPEAKER_00]: It was number one pioneer 50 to 20 overshared it.
- 33:42[SPEAKER_00]: They built a 21 to 7 half time lead then it was all pioneer in the second half.
- 33:47[SPEAKER_00]: Four shared in Brock Hagen through for 241 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another 37.
- 33:55[SPEAKER_00]: and it was cast in 55 to 22 over Clinton Central, Ashton, Boyer, 210 yards and three touchdowns on the ground for casting.
- 34:04[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be nine minutes you've cast an at 11 and 0 and top rank by in the air for the sexual championship.
- 34:10[SPEAKER_01]: As for the Pioneer Shared and Game Shared, it covers your defense kept a close early in the game and made Pioneer, or just about every yard, until early in the second quarter, while Pioneer was up 7-0, Pioneer actually fumbled a toss play, and after scrambling for 20 yards or so.
- 34:28[SPEAKER_01]: It was recovered by Sheridan, and even with nice still position pioneer at good coverage on Sheridan's receivers, but Brock Hagenman he delivered some dimes and got the blockhawks on the board.
- 34:40[SPEAKER_01]: After that, it was essentially the Shiloh Ryan show for Pioneer on the ground and through the air.
- 34:48[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like they're gonna be tough to beat in this postseason.
- 34:51[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 34:52[SPEAKER_01]: As for Clinton Central and Castan, Clinton Central's problems early on was the sustained offense.
- 34:58[SPEAKER_01]: albeit.
- 35:00[SPEAKER_01]: Clinton Central did initially keep the single wing offense that they had under Jeremy Fenley.
- 35:06[SPEAKER_01]: While transitioning midseason to more of a standard, more simplified wingcy without as many RPOs.
- 35:14[SPEAKER_01]: I also want to give a shout out to two athletes at Clinton Central Luke Shelley, I believe is the best male athlete in Clinton County, not named Braden Tilley Han, and that's going to be tough to replace for them next year.
- 35:26[SPEAKER_01]: They're also shout out to Kyson all of all for that one, 180 adjustment catch, Kyson, if you're listening, that was filthy nuts.
- 35:38[SPEAKER_00]: Central 44, number five South Adams 70 to seven over Southwood.
- 35:43[SPEAKER_00]: It led 40, nothing at halftime.
- 35:47[SPEAKER_00]: And freemont 32 to 26 over Northfield in it.
- 35:50[SPEAKER_00]: Absolute thriller, freemont quarterback, Garrett Loughlin ran for 130 yards, and two touchdowns, and threw for 152 yards, and two touchdowns including the game winner, late in that one.
- 36:02[SPEAKER_00]: So to be eight and three freemont at nine and two fifth ranked South Adams for the sexual championship.
- 36:07[SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't Northfield up like 20 to six or something like that?
- 36:11[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they were.
- 36:12[SPEAKER_01]: My heart really hurts for them.
- 36:14[SPEAKER_00]: And that should be a program on the rise as well though.
- 36:21[SPEAKER_00]: Sexual 45, it was number 10, Knights Town, 22 to 14, over previously unbeaten and 7th rank of Westel.
- 36:29[SPEAKER_00]: Knights Town's Kenny Swicer ran for 163 yards.
- 36:32[SPEAKER_00]: The Panthers held Westel to its lowest total of the season and their first loss.
- 36:39[SPEAKER_00]: And Tri-Beat Cambridge City, as a four-mentioned 52 to 6.
- 36:42[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be number 10, Knights Town, 9 and 2 at 6 and 5, Tri for the second on championship.
- 36:52[SPEAKER_00]: And sectional 46, number eight, mile in 68 to 10, over Edinburgh, North Decatur, 43, and nothing over Union County.
- 37:00[SPEAKER_00]: So to be number eight, nine and two, mile in at nine and two, North Decatur, watch out for mile in this tournament.
- 37:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and last week you said that myelin be Edinburgh by 68 and I was like, well, maybe the Edinburgh will only lose by 58 this week.
- 37:18[SPEAKER_01]: Who knows ball?
- 37:19[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 37:23[SPEAKER_00]: Section of 47, it was number two river to park 42 to 7 over North Central.
- 37:28[SPEAKER_00]: Cloverdale beat, coming to net 39 to 6.
- 37:31[SPEAKER_00]: So number two river to park 10 and 0 at 8 and 3.
- 37:34[SPEAKER_00]: Cloverdale.
- 37:36[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, Section of 48, Forest Park 41 to 13 over North Knox.
- 37:41[SPEAKER_00]: Number three North Davies, 41 to 27 over West Washington.
- 37:45[SPEAKER_00]: 6 and 5 Forest Park at 11 and 0, North Davies.
- 37:49[SPEAKER_00]: Matt and I will be right back to discuss his thoughts on week 11 of the N.I.
- 37:54[SPEAKER_00]: School football season.
- 38:01[SPEAKER_00]: Check out our week 12 sectional championship preview and prediction show with dipped in Tribune and Elwood Collier sports editor Michelle Garman and the action sports network duo of Grant Shows and Kevin Helfreck.
- 38:15[SPEAKER_00]: That's Thursday evening on the
- 38:23[SPEAKER_00]: Matt, I saw casts a few times this year on film, and they've gotten better throughout the year.
- 38:31[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they looked really good against Bowman Academy, they looked sharp and crisp, against they not very good team, and then they came out with the McConaughey and almost beat McConaughey.
- 38:44[SPEAKER_00]: The way they handled Peru, I think we expected that, right?
- 38:46[SPEAKER_00]: We expected them to get the revenge on Peru.
- 38:48[SPEAKER_00]: I think everybody on our panel picked it.
- 38:52[SPEAKER_00]: But what they did to tiptoed man, they look like they might be pretty dangerous here.
- 38:57[SPEAKER_01]: I think it started with Lewis cask getting the ball first.
- 38:59[SPEAKER_01]: They got a good return.
- 39:01[SPEAKER_01]: And then they scored within five plays.
- 39:03[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Tippedin had an answer, but then cast, punched them in the mouth again.
- 39:07[SPEAKER_01]: Tippedin had a couple drops on the ensuing drive and then cast punched them in the mouth again.
- 39:12[SPEAKER_01]: And then it just did not stop.
- 39:14[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Tippedin couldn't move the ball or a couple drives, but they just couldn't finish on them.
- 39:20[SPEAKER_00]: And you could really see Tippedin's spirit start to break.
- 39:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like they've been through a few games like that over the last few weeks when they've been short-handed.
- 39:30[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was an avalanche.
- 39:34[SPEAKER_01]: Tipton's defensive line got absolutely pants by the Lewis cast offensive line, particularly the guards, like I mentioned.
- 39:41[SPEAKER_01]: I give a lot of credit to now cast offensive coordinator Scott Manoring for creating a great game plan and having Tipton and a blender.
- 39:49[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you may think that Tipton should sell out up the mill with how much push their front three we're getting.
- 39:57[SPEAKER_01]: But it's hard for defensive coordinator Josh Frawley to do that because all three backs for cast including full-bought counter-mac have a lot of speed So they were able to use the outside very well And that's speed to be no kill You Absolutely, yeah, I think you're right
- 40:23[SPEAKER_01]: They look like the better team of the two.
- 40:25[SPEAKER_01]: At the end of the day, Cass was just the more physical team.
- 40:28[SPEAKER_01]: The wide receivers, even were just pushing tips in all over the place.
- 40:32[SPEAKER_01]: There is even one tip and DB that got them all up and down the field.
- 40:37[SPEAKER_01]: Essentially all night, I didn't even bother to...
- 40:40[SPEAKER_01]: tried to talk to Aaron told after the game.
- 40:42[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think he'd be even me in the mood, especially because like sifting played, especially because castfully tipped in in man coverage all night long.
- 40:54[SPEAKER_01]: They sold out to stop Zane Durham, the complete opposite of what Eastern did when whereas Eastern was bracketing Dakota Garmin.
- 41:02[SPEAKER_01]: And for that Garmin had a bait night in the stat sheet, but I'm sure
- 41:12[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no doubt about it.
- 41:14[SPEAKER_00]: Tipton should be pretty good next year, though.
- 41:17[SPEAKER_00]: I think so too.
- 41:19[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Louis Cass really looks like they got to be the favorites, I watched Delphi a few times this year.
- 41:29[SPEAKER_00]: They definitely did not impress me as a team.
- 41:32[SPEAKER_00]: It should have been competitive with Oak Hill, and the fact that Oak Hill was down 2014, I have time, has been concerned about them, and Louis Cass just looks really strong.
- 41:42[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Delphi's had a slow start starting out over six between quarterback's western brown and latent pick rings through the patch.
- 41:51[SPEAKER_01]: But then Brown hit Levi Coghill on a slant for 41 yards and then I do too.
- 41:59[SPEAKER_01]: And Delphi running the ball more got than the starter system, the offense.
- 42:04[SPEAKER_01]: This I think this was really more about Delphi's offense finally getting better offensive execution.
- 42:11[SPEAKER_01]: I think it took a while for Delphi's kids to grasp Terry Peoples' offense, but yes, they do have spread personnel, but under Jacob, Markovitz, they ran a wing T. And I think a lot of the time we, myself included, forget how hard it is to go from a run heavy offense like the wing T to the spread and watching Delphi in person against Taylor, and then on film, late in the season against
- 42:44[SPEAKER_01]: weeks one through seven Delphi average 17.6 points per game, which is including games against Benton Central and Tri Central, where they scored 35 and 42 weeks eight through 11, they averaged 36.5.
- 42:59[SPEAKER_01]: Now, sure, those opponents include Taylor and Elwood, but both
- 43:07[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, this would have been a one score game if Delphi had a kicker.
- 43:11[SPEAKER_01]: So the improvement, offensively has really shown late in the season.
- 43:16[SPEAKER_01]: I like the direction that people's has them going.
- 43:22[SPEAKER_00]: And it's a nice program that's had a lot of success over the years.
- 43:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, even as a newer viewer, like when we, I mean, when I was at Taylor, when we would play Delphi, they would always smoke us, although pretty much everybody smoked us when I was in school.
- 43:45[SPEAKER_00]: And you watch Hamilton Heights Western, your thoughts on that one?
- 43:49[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I didn't watch the game until right before we started recording this.
- 43:56[SPEAKER_01]: So I actually have the notes down beforehand.
- 43:59[SPEAKER_01]: Jay Stevens from the Cocoa Post gave me these notes that I tweaked and added to.
- 44:04[SPEAKER_01]: So I couldn't have done it with outhand and I wanted to give them proper credit.
- 44:07[SPEAKER_01]: You can check them out at the Cocoa Post on Instagram, ex TikTok, in case book.
- 44:13[SPEAKER_01]: Not only is it really good Jay Stevens with the man.
- 44:16[SPEAKER_01]: He or he really is he even though he likes Ohio State exactly that's exactly what I was going to say This is not only like you do you know how good of a dude you got to be for me to like a Ohio State fan exact someone who is in Ohio State podcaster Like he's not only a really good friend of mine, but he also does a great job with that so Show him some love like he didn't even know I was gonna shout him out and he still took the time to help with this so He is what it does
- 44:47[SPEAKER_01]: What he does.
- 44:49[SPEAKER_01]: Hamilton Heights started scoring right away when Lucas Whitaker through a 54 yards touchdown pass to Grady Steiner.
- 44:56[SPEAKER_01]: Western's touchdown came on the very next drive of the game.
- 45:00[SPEAKER_01]: Hamilton Heights jumped off sides on the PAT, so Austin Colby switched up to go for two and lost yards, so it was 7 to 6.
- 45:10[SPEAKER_01]: Hamilton Heights scored again on their next possession as Lucas Whitaker hits Brennan Heckman for 60 yards and I think at that point it just got hard for Western that offense is great when you're winning but when you're losing it's really really hard to come back from and they just ran into a better team.
- 45:29[SPEAKER_00]: I break him tonight's to win that section all beforehand and I sure looks like they're going to win it.
- 45:35[SPEAKER_01]: Look at you, ball, no, or, yeah, Western got stopped on fourth and one in the red zone in the second half.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not like they couldn't move the ball, it's just that, like last game against heights, the, uh, heights scored 23 unanswered points, uh, Lucas Whitaker's four touchdown passes.
- 45:54[SPEAKER_01]: The three different players, two to greedy, Steiner, one to Brennan Heckman, and another two year boy, AJ Slan again.
- 46:01[SPEAKER_01]: The score from Friday's game is one point off from the regular season game, Hamilton Heights won that one 30 to 7.
- 46:10[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's fair to say these seams are about three touchdowns apart from each other.
- 46:15[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome Colby told Jay after the game in their interview.
- 46:18[SPEAKER_01]: That last year they were in its turning about six starters from last year's team to this year.
- 46:26[SPEAKER_01]: And this year they're going to be losing about six starters from last year.
- 46:31[SPEAKER_01]: losing 16 starters and returning 16 starters a big difference though don't expect western to be down for long especially because the rumors are their eighth grade classes loaded but like I saw on TikTok someone posted that they wanted to get revenge on Logan's port for beating them and so the next slide showed the final score the middle school game between Logan's
- 47:01[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Westerners never wrote down very long, and Austin Colby's way to good of a coach to have them down for long, even if he took over a program that would typically be down.
- 47:15[SPEAKER_00]: My pre-turnement predictions were Brownsburg, if the usual shittard Lawrenceburg, I've already changed those two already after two rounds.
- 47:26[SPEAKER_00]: I probably overreacted a little.
- 47:28[SPEAKER_00]: They're both still in it, but I've changed my pick.
- 47:30[SPEAKER_00]: Now, and then two A, I have,
- 47:34[SPEAKER_00]: south-putting and beating lapel for the championship and in class say I had a river to park over Central Catholic I probably want to change that now as well to pioneer Looks pretty incredible and I think my line looks like the best team in the south if it's not river to park My picks and you can find this on the site.
- 47:55[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the literally the literal only one wrapping tailor on the leaderboard So it's not hard to find there you go, but I
- 48:02[SPEAKER_01]: For six a.m. with Brownsburg, five a.m. is Bloomington, South, for a was Chetard, three a was and Drey and two a South Putnam and one a, I had South Adams.
- 48:14[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I take South Adams just about every year because it's, it just feels inevitable that they're going to,
- 48:21[SPEAKER_01]: get over that hump.
- 48:22[SPEAKER_01]: At least make it run.
- 48:23[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 48:24[SPEAKER_01]: And it was kind of hard for five.
- 48:26[SPEAKER_01]: There's just, there's no one that good in five.
- 48:28[SPEAKER_01]: They.
- 48:29[SPEAKER_01]: But there's like 10, 15, and four A.
- 48:33[SPEAKER_00]: That is exactly right.
- 48:35[SPEAKER_00]: And if you look at it, some of the best teams in four A, be some of the best teams in five A.
- 48:40[SPEAKER_00]: And I've never seen like it.
- 48:42[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel bad for the cater central because they definitely would have been to,
- 48:46[SPEAKER_00]: would have been competitive with Zekeel Hester, one of the best quarterbacks in the state at the 5A level.
- 48:53[SPEAKER_00]: They definitely would have been competitive, but in 6A they literally aren't even in the top half.
- 48:58[SPEAKER_00]: That's how big of a jump that is.
- 49:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I ended up going with Bloomington South.
- 49:06[SPEAKER_01]: I think the number one thing I picked, it's a bit of an instant South for is their coach Gabe Johnson is the brother of Memo Perez, who is the defensive coordinator of Tri-Scentral under George Gilbert and a lot of the Shane Arnold years and of Taylor under Rob Patched and Joshua's last year.
- 49:25[SPEAKER_01]: So I know Memo and
- 49:29[SPEAKER_01]: I wish his brother and the best as it's fun to follow that power, and then I'll just like Gabe is a really good coach.
- 49:38[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they also have one of the best quarterbacks in Indiana and Dunkin' Cones.
- 49:43[SPEAKER_00]: He only threw 13 passes on Friday for 221 yards and 5 touchdowns, so 5 touchdowns on 13 attempts is pretty good.
- 49:51[SPEAKER_00]: Against a pretty good Franklin team, they beat 63 to nothing.
- 50:00[SPEAKER_01]: It's definitely right up there, that's for sure.
