0:00
[SPEAKER_01]: you are listening to sectional championship previews and predictions with Greg and Michelle only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
0:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome high school football fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for our week at 12 high school football previews and predictions and of course Michelle Garmin joins me Michelle week 12 means sectional championships.
0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It just seems so impossible that here we are talking about the first of the steps to the state tournament sectional championship week when it seems like just a couple of weeks ago we were talking season but seasons were going to look like and trying to predict too or talking about who conference favorites we're going to be now we're down to sectional and then we already have a lot of teams eliminated.
0:54
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right, so I'm a lot of good teams eliminate it.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and not very many, but a few, not very good teams still left.
1:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's actually a bunch of just mostly very good teams.
1:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And so our picks competition you and I take on the local media, the picks have gotten a lot harder this week.
1:15
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fun to get to this stage, because do you go with your gut?
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: or do you research it and go with statistics?
1:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of like to go with tradition, coaching.
1:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And who's playing well, stats, stats are stats.
1:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't always tell the whole story.
1:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And then my gut, because, you know, sometimes you just have a gut feeling like, a reminder to everyone, this is how it goes.
1:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Every game is worth 10 points.
1:45
[SPEAKER_01]: The more a team is a favorite, the fewer points they're worth, another way of saying that the bigger underdog they are, the more points they're worth.
1:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And as I said, Michelle and I take on the rest of the local media and week 11's winner.
2:00
[SPEAKER_01]: co-winners Kevin Helfreck who was already in the lead and has taken a commanding lead now and Daniel Bragg of Bragg sports media both scored 95 Elijah Poe of the ball state daily news and our indie car guide 94 Michelle keeps moving up the charts she scored 92 and Kyle Ned and Rip the only other person in competition with Kevin Michelle and Elijah Poe scored 91
2:30
[SPEAKER_01]: through.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And that let's be honest, Greg, some of that was, you're trying, you've been trying to make a ground and some of we've been getting that a little bit of that, also I'm not been very good at that this year.
2:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So the score through 11 weeks, Kevin, Hellfric of
2:46
[SPEAKER_01]: The action sports network leads it away with 992 points, then Kyle Nednrip of the in an Apple Star 970.
2:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle Garman of the Tipton Tribune and Elwood Collider, 959 in Elijah Poe of the Ball State Daily News, 957, the rest of us, Daniel Bragg, Jay Stevens of the Cogamo Post, Grant Shouse of the Action Sports Network, Kate Hampton of the Mutsi Star Press, Sam Frick of A&EC Sports,
3:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And normally, as we've done this through the year, we start with the least competitive games and work our way to the most competitive games but in the postseason, we start with the first number sectional and in our area that is sectional three.
3:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Also Michelle and I did eight sectional previews and we have more in-depth picks on those.
3:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So go check them out, this is gonna be our quick picks of all these sectionals in our local area.
3:45
[SPEAKER_01]: in our extended regional area.
3:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And we start, like I said, with sectional three, and that is the big one.
3:52
[SPEAKER_01]: We have eight and two Westfield at nine and one Carmel Westfield ranked sixth is the defending champion.
3:58
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, they're the five time defending champion.
4:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Carmel is nine and one, they're ranked second in the state.
4:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, nine and oh against teams from Indiana, including a
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: ending a three game losing streak against Westfield.
4:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And before we get to your pick Michelle, congratulations to Anthony Colner for becoming the Greyhound's all-time leading pastor.
4:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm very happy for Anthony Colner.
4:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think anybody who's listened to this podcast in the past would be surprised by that.
4:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I dogs it for the Colner family.
4:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and there is really nice family Chad and his mother Ali and they're just very nice people and the kids are really, they're great kids and hard workers.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Anthony has really put in a lot of time.
4:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So big Kudos to him.
4:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Mark Herman, that's now hey.
4:54
[SPEAKER_00]: That's impressive.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Kudos to the entire Carmel squad because what and Coach Kevin Wright,
5:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's been since 2020 since Carmel's won a sectional surprisingly, of course, as we mentioned Westfield's won all of them.
5:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And Michelle, I have Westfield, the underdog in this one, we're six points.
5:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Carmel at home worth four.
5:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Here you take it.
5:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I am taking the Greyhounds.
5:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I really believe Carmel can get all the way to Lukaswell Stadium.
5:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanksgiving weekend.
5:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Westfield can get all the way to Lucas oil.
5:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I definitely, that's what this way.
5:30
[SPEAKER_00]: But what if this game is probably going to be playing at Lucas oil stadium after, you know, after Thanksgiving?
5:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything says take caramel.
5:40
[SPEAKER_01]: but I'm going to take Westfield.
5:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They weren't completely healthy as Kyle has told us in week two, they weren't at their best, and I have a feeling, and it's just a feeling that it's going to be Westfield's night.
5:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me the sham rocks.
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I do like it that they're playing at Carmel, and I saw today where it's going to be a blue out there, so I think what Kevin Wright has also done is brought a lot of student fan enthusiast and back.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So that should be a great sectional game in group.
6:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Move to sectional 4, and that's also in Hamilton County.
6:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It's 6 and 4 Hamilton South Eastern at 7 and 3 fishers.
6:20
[SPEAKER_01]: The Royals are ranked 11th, the Tigers ranked 9th.
6:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Fissures is the defending champion and won the mud sock game, the rivalry game, and the regular season.
6:30
[SPEAKER_01]: 28 to 16, it's their third straight win over Hamilton South Eastern, but all three of those games came down to the fourth quarter.
6:38
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a far more experienced fishers team than Hamilton South Eastern.
6:42
[SPEAKER_01]: But you never know in this rivalry, do you?
6:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I would not be surprised at all if Hamilton, southeast and shocked fishers.
6:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think Hamilton, southeast and maybe a year or two away from really reestablishing dominance over fishers because of that.
6:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna get a really good freshman quarterback.
7:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but I'm gonna take fishers this week just because I think they are a little bit more experienced
7:11
[SPEAKER_00]: teams are kind of evenly talented match.
7:13
[SPEAKER_00]: That experience becomes a factor.
7:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with your fishers.
7:17
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to win this game.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the more experienced team plus they have gauge schedule and Vincent Rossi and that to me is probably all they're going to need for at least this week.
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Next week is going to be a different story.
7:29
[SPEAKER_01]: The winner of Hamilton's out these certain fishers plays the winner of Westfield Carmel for the regional and the Hamilton County
7:39
[SPEAKER_01]: and Michelle now we move to Hendrix County for the Hendrix County Championship and the sectional five championship between number one Brownsburg and number 12 Avon.
7:50
[SPEAKER_01]: The Orioles come into the game six and four and want a sectional championship since they went back to back in 17 and 18.
7:56
[SPEAKER_01]: They take on top ranked unbeaten defending state champion Brownsburg.
8:02
[SPEAKER_01]: which just completed its second straight regular season unbeaten, then beat Pike 43 to 14 last week to set up a big one.
8:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Brownsburg is unbeaten.
8:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe their biggest test of the year came against Avon at 55 to 47 game.
8:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Avon's offense may have figured something out with Brownsburg who knows.
8:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I have Avon where seven points Brownsburg were three Michelle.
8:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that first game was kind of an anomaly.
8:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Brownsburg's defense has gotten back to being pretty good since then.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: A game's app, Brownsburg, Oscar Fry, and the sharp kid.
8:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just too much, I think.
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: And that experience, again, Brownsburg's been there.
8:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Success.
8:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll take Brownsburg the Bulldogs.
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Both of the 173rd time these two teams have played.
8:53
[SPEAKER_01]: number eight Decatur Central, which is one eight games and a row against number 13 Lawrence Central, which came into the sectional under 500 everybody knew though that they were pretty good under 500 team and they upset Lawrence North in a thriller and now host the sectional championship against Decatur Central a 518 playing up because of their success.
9:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle, I have
9:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Decatur Central had an easy time last and easier time last week because they played North Central last week.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sure they didn't really overlooking, but I think
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not as taxing on the mentally and physically as what Lawrence Central went through with their game against Lawrence North.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It is really tough, but I think I'm going to go for the upset.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm going to pick the cater central this week because because that I won't be surprised if Lawrence Central wins and good luck to them if they do because they will have earned it of course, but I won't take the cater central.
9:54
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't think indicator central too.
9:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the way they're playing.
9:58
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a time earlier this season where they weren't ranked.
10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, they're oh and two, they should still be ranked even in 6a.
10:04
[SPEAKER_01]: They're that good.
10:05
[SPEAKER_01]: You lose the new pal and, and Avon, it's no shame.
10:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking to cater central to win this, but I like the way Lord Central's play and I won't be surprised.
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And I miss all the picks, so it's probably going to be Lord Central anyway.
10:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle just two five a sexual championship games in our area.
10:25
[SPEAKER_01]: We start with sexual number twelve words third ranked Lafayette Jeff at four and six Cocomo.
10:32
[SPEAKER_01]: The Broncos are nine and one and one nine games in a row since opening the season with a loss to Shouldhard.
10:39
[SPEAKER_01]: There's the defending champions.
10:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They won two of the last three and they'll be heavy favorites going in to Cocomo
10:47
[SPEAKER_01]: first year under Caleb Smalls got better and better as the season has gone on, but I have Lafayette Jeff worth two, Coca-Move worth eight, seems to take the upset.
10:57
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I have a lot of respect for Caleb Smalls.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he is one of the top young high school football coaches in the state of Indiana.
11:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great up, football mind, and he's what he's done at Coca-Move is really good, but Lafayette Jeff and state Josh got studs.
11:13
[SPEAKER_01]: They're full of division one player.
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they are.
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's the Broncos time.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually both of these schools for years have just been known as like basketball schools.
11:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's always nice when they're football teams step up and laugh at Jeff, their football team is really good.
11:28
[SPEAKER_00]: They were good last year.
11:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They're better this year.
11:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Both of us are taking Jeff.
11:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And then sectional 13 Michelle is the big one.
11:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Number one new pal, number two cathedral.
11:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I make cathedral worth six points in this one.
11:42
[SPEAKER_01]: New pal worth four.
11:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, the dragons are 10 and 0.
11:45
[SPEAKER_01]: The defending for a state champions.
11:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess they're not defending.
11:49
[SPEAKER_01]: If they're not playing in that tournament, again, we're either raining here.
11:52
[SPEAKER_01]: The raining champions until someone else takes their position, cathedral seven and three.
11:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a really good seven and three, Michelle.
12:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Westfield Carmel is the game of the week for six A. I think Cathedral of New Palestine is the game of the week for five A.
12:10
[SPEAKER_00]: People will, my look at that saying, ah, Cathedral's got three losses.
12:14
[SPEAKER_00]: New Palestine has not been really challenged, but Cathedral also plays more of a six A schedule.
12:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So they beat Center Grove, and I'm telling that, that's a great win.
12:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
12:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Cathedral has been there.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: They've done that.
12:26
[SPEAKER_00]: They've had a lot of success term success.
12:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I love, but this may be one of New Powell's best teams ever.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: U and I said last year they would roll roll to the five-based or the four-day state title and they did exactly that.
12:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that this is a shame, this is a sexual championship because this matchup should be a semi-state because to me, these are the two best 5A teams in the south and it should be decided in the semi-state.
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It should be the state finals.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes, actually.
12:56
[SPEAKER_01]: They're on the border of north and south.
12:58
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no reason they couldn't a squad.
12:59
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.
13:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Their profile is to pick the top two favorites to 15A would be these two.
13:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't.
13:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I think one of these two is winning the state.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a state championship.
13:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.
13:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing against Lafayette Jeff.
13:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing against Bloomington, South, or Concord, or any of these teams.
13:14
[SPEAKER_01]: But the state champions are going to be new power cathedral.
13:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't be surprised at all if Cathedral wins.
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And part of this is my concern if I'm new pal is cathedral has been tested.
13:25
[SPEAKER_00]: They've had to play four quarters a lot this year.
13:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Newpile hasn't had to play four full quarters at all.
13:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Newpile's team, they have a lot of really good athletes because I don't think you roll through the season like you have, whether it's 4A or 5A, unless you're really, really good.
13:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna take Newpile.
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Part of that is, I think Newpile's a great story.
13:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to root for the dragons, and I'm going to pick the dragons, although I said, I won't be surprised if Cathedral pulls out, you know, one score game.
13:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't be surprised, but I think new pals the better team, and I think Cathedral's going to need some breaks in the game, things go their way to win this game, because I think new pals is just that good.
14:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd like, I'd be interested to see what new pal could do against six A and I think we're going to find out.
14:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the Jeff Kokomo game, which I forgot to mention, the Levinon Logan's Port sectional 20 championship game in Class 4A is one that we did a full preview on.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Please go check that out for our full prediction.
14:31
[SPEAKER_01]: We shall have both teams worth 5.9 and 2 Levinon, since 1997 since day 1-1, 8-n-3 Logan's Port.
14:39
[SPEAKER_01]: If only one Ford's program history, one of them is going to
14:42
[SPEAKER_01]: get a big sectional chamber ship in shell.
14:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You take an 11 or logu's part of the who's your conference, which is what tipped in is.
14:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So I probably, and she take logu's port, but I'm not lovin' in as a better team and I'm taking the Tigers.
14:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Levin' has had a really tough schedule.
14:59
[SPEAKER_01]: They've handled it pretty well.
15:01
[SPEAKER_01]: first year for Coach Josh Yoder, transfer quarterback Chris Hill's been really good.
15:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be surprised if it's not Lebanon.
15:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't be shocked though, Logan's port is definitely capable of winning this beginning Lebanon too.
15:16
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, I should also mention that the Coco Mo Jeff preview we had.
15:21
[SPEAKER_01]: J. Stephens of Cocomot Post and Cocomot Head Coach Caleb Small on the Levin and Logan Sport Preview we had Levin and reporter sports editor Will Wolves.
15:34
[SPEAKER_01]: We had Rob Hottner, Harold Bolton and Kate Hampton of the Muncie Star Press and Penelton Iight's Head Coach, Jed Richmond.
15:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about the sectional 21 championship.
15:45
[SPEAKER_01]: between who's your heritage conference rivals Yorktown and Pinnolton Heights who put a really good game just a couple of weeks ago.
15:52
[SPEAKER_01]: A 24 22 win by Pinnolton, your Abyans are 10 and one.
15:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yorktown got a first round by him.
15:58
[SPEAKER_01]: The sectional so they're eight and two.
15:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle, I have Yorktown worth six.
16:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Pinnolton Heights worth four who you take in.
16:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking pills and diets, I predicted pills that I used to win this sexual.
16:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not backing off from it.
16:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yorktown will present a challenge.
16:12
[SPEAKER_00]: They have Nate Luzatter, who he was a friend to needle the previous three years.
16:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a he's a load.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a good running back.
16:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He's fast, quick, strong.
16:22
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just think this penalty and heights team may be destined.
16:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Once new pound moved up,
16:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the first meeting was close and I wouldn't be surprised the second one's close.
16:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It's at Pendleton Heights.
16:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked to their coach.
16:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I just like his demeanor heading into, and I think into this matchup, I think his team is focused, give me Pendleton Heights.
16:50
[SPEAKER_01]: the champion of sectional 21 will have the unfortunate task of having to take on the sectional 22 champion, which features six ranked Ron Kali against number three should TARD, should TARD 9 and two Ron Kali 8 and three, the only difference is the should TARD beat Ron Kali, 33 to 11.
17:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was about five, six weeks ago.
17:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So they are clearly the favorites, but either one of these teams is probably going to be the
17:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle is going to be Ron Cali or Shattard the Royals were seven.
17:23
[SPEAKER_01]: The Trojans were three.
17:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Tipton has suffered heartbreaking losses to both of these schools in the history.
17:30
[SPEAKER_00]: They've both eliminated to Blue Devils.
17:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Shattard, by the way, is one of the most secondal championships with 32 tied with caramel.
17:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Shattard is better right now.
17:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I will pick Shattard.
17:42
[SPEAKER_00]: to win.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I picked.
17:44
[SPEAKER_00]: She's tired to win the sectional.
17:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be a picture tired before when you're picking them again.
17:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
17:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So am I, but I don't think it's going to be 22 points this time.
17:51
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not going to be 24 points.
17:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Very well.
17:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And their quarterback Colin Ash is a good one.
17:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't want to go out.
17:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wouldn't be shocked if there's an upset here, but I got to take your tard.
18:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're the favorites to it about.
18:07
[SPEAKER_01]: We move to Class 3A and Sectional 27 is another one that we will have a preview of later on Friday.
18:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And that features Twin Lakes and Western on that one we had, Jay Stevens, the Kokomo post.
18:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And Western head coach Austin Colby to talk about that one.
18:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Twin Lakes is 9 and 2.
18:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Western is 8 and 3.
18:28
[SPEAKER_01]: The Indians were ranked at 9th, the Panthers ranked 18th.
18:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, the only difference in their record is that Twin Lakes B, Western 22 to 15, and the regular season finale.
18:41
[SPEAKER_01]: We shall have to spend 23 years since Twin Lakes won a sectional championship.
18:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been,
18:47
[SPEAKER_01]: 18 years since Westerns won a sectional team, but what I'm just going to win it.
18:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, one of them is going to win it.
18:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, both teams worth five, by the way, both teams are outstanding teams.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Both teams are well coach teams, different styles.
18:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Twin Lakes is a spread them out pro style offense.
19:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to spread you wide and we're going to look for mismatches in your secondary and don't and once we get you spread wide, we're also going to sneak in a few runs to where you can't stack the box.
19:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Western is we want a control time of possession.
19:15
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to line up toe to toe and we're just going to try to run it down your throat I'm going to take twin league likes.
19:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I love Kevin of Shea is really good that junior quarterback is really good He's got different weapons that he can use Western doesn't have that same ability to come back from a deficit like twin lakes, which they did the first time they
19:37
[SPEAKER_00]: played Western Western Square the first 15 points of the game and then Twin Lakes dominated the second half.
19:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why I will take Twin Lakes.
19:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I just like that explosive offense.
19:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And we saw it in person great.
19:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me Twin Lakes next year.
19:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take Western this year.
19:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Twin Lakes is a year away from being pretty special.
19:58
[SPEAKER_01]: amazing story, western going from winless last year to a possible sectional championship this year.
20:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Love the story.
20:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Hope it happens.
20:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to pick it to happen.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Sectional 28 is another game where I have both teams worth five.
20:12
[SPEAKER_01]: It's six rank Mrs. Sinobal at home against 10th rank Loers Mrs. Sinobal's 10 and 1.
20:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Loers is 6 and 5.
20:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Loers is 128.
20:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Sectional championships and they are the three time defending champions.
20:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Mrs. Sinobal won sectional championships in 2017.
20:28
[SPEAKER_01]: twenty nineteen twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three so it's their year Michelle right yeah i i will personally root for a missus and law but i am picking lures i picked them to win this section so i'm gonna stay with them but my heart will belong to my heart will be rooting for missus and a long Friday night by the way will be joined by Grant Shouse of the action sports network and missus
21:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a shot been telling you since the beginning of this thing that lures is not the same lures.
21:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you don't believe me, but it's true and Mrs. and Walsh is going to win this game and they're going to win it handily not it's not going to be a blowout by any means, but there it's it's not going to come down to the last play Mrs. and Walsh is going to control this game they're going to win this game and they're going to win the regional next week.
21:21
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
21:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Such an old 29 is where we find Garen Catholic at Cascade, Garen Catholic 7 and 4 ranked 16th, Cascade 11 and 0, rank 3rd, Michelle have the Golden Eagles were 7, the cadets were 3 who are you taking.
21:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I've picked Cascade all the way through that is a special team and we learned a lot last week with just how well they dominated track west.
21:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Cascades for real, I won't be surprised at all if they are not
22:01
[SPEAKER_00]: at Lucas Will representing class 3 a after Thanksgiving.
22:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I it'll be them are gifts and Southern.
22:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty certain that probably and that would be a great game.
22:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think cascade is one of those teams.
22:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So many different weapons they can come at you from every direction they are so well coached.
22:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they might win this whole thing.
22:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I really do.
22:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.
22:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Gibson Southern just beat Evansville Memorial.
22:27
[SPEAKER_01]: They are by extension now, the favorites to win it all.
22:31
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm not surprised at all if Ganescaid wins this thing.
22:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They're that good.
22:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
22:37
[SPEAKER_01]: It kind of came from out of nowhere, but they're that good.
22:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they are.
22:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We show most of our schools in our area.
22:45
[SPEAKER_01]: The CIC, the Hoosier Conference, are class 2A, and therefore we have 4 class 2A
22:51
[SPEAKER_01]: to preview and we start with sectional 34 words.
22:53
[SPEAKER_01]: 10 and 1, Southmont at 8 and 3, Lewis Cass, Southmont big win last week over Western Boone.
23:00
[SPEAKER_01]: 48 to 12, we both pick Western Boone in that game.
23:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Lewis Cass has been playing very well.
23:07
[SPEAKER_01]: to coming off a 55 14 win over previously unbeaten seeger.
23:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Shella have Southmont worth four Casahome worth six where they love play and who you're taking.
23:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, like I told you all season long, Casas is a little bit better team at home.
23:22
[SPEAKER_00]: They, it's, Casas, that's a hard place to go out.
23:25
[SPEAKER_00]: What Southmont did to Western Boone?
23:28
[SPEAKER_00]: is really impressive and how they bounce back from getting dominated by cascade at the end of the season to put that behind them and plow through their sectional as pretty and so far as impressive.
23:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe Southmont is going to win this section.
23:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me Southmont too.
23:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to win in fairly easy fashion and this win.
23:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Great season by Lewis Cass and nice run here.
23:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Sectional 36, we have 10 and 1 and 13th ranked Eastern, an unbeaten fifth ranked Eastbrook.
24:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Eastern, the defending champion.
24:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Eastbrook seems like the team of destiny, the team that you pick to win the sectional originally.
24:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I have the comments were six.
24:13
[SPEAKER_01]: The Panthers were for Michelle.
24:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I assume you're sticking with Eastbrook.
24:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sticking with Eastbrook.
24:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I love I really like Josh Edwards.
24:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, I got to cover my first coaching job at Trice Central.
24:24
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great guy.
24:27
[SPEAKER_00]: What he's done at Eastern
24:33
[SPEAKER_00]: as Ben Eastbrook's weakness in the past, the ability to throw the ball with multiple receivers to throw too, to have speed in Caleb Hurt, Bentley Hullinger, and Cody Tar, and then Owen told who can do things, but that said, the most dynamic player in this section and perhaps the
25:00
[SPEAKER_00]: is four-year starting quarterback, Bodhi Hal of Eastbrook.
25:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's the reason I picked Eastbrook to win this sectional, and he is still doing living up to everything.
25:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he is on a mission.
25:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great leader and a good young man, and he's going, I believe he's going to lead the Panthers to victory on Friday night, but I will tell you this, Easter won't make it easy.
25:30
[SPEAKER_01]: That's for sure.
25:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's pretty close to a toss-up.
25:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Eastern is that good, the way they can score on the ground through the air.
25:38
[SPEAKER_01]: The defense is struggling a little bit, but there have been times where their defense has been really good.
25:42
[SPEAKER_01]: We know, of course.
25:43
[SPEAKER_01]: A bedwards is a standout on defense.
25:47
[SPEAKER_01]: But I have to take Eastbrook.
25:50
[SPEAKER_01]: They've made me look like a full once already in this section.
25:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll pick an Alexander, although, come on.
25:56
[SPEAKER_01]: But give me the Panthers.
25:57
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Eastbrook with a body half.
26:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, go check out that sectional preview.
26:03
[SPEAKER_01]: We had not only J. Stevens, the Cocomopos and Grant Shouse of the Action Sports Network on talking about that one.
26:10
[SPEAKER_01]: We also had both head coaches, Jeff Adams and of Eastbrook, Josh Edwards of Eastern.
26:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So go check that one out.
26:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And in sectional 37, it's 10 and one, the Lutheran, the four-time defending sectional champion at seven and four-haired-age Christian.
26:26
[SPEAKER_01]: which, of course, Heritage plays a great schedule for a class 2A program.
26:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a Lutheran worth 4 Heritage Christian worth 6 Michelle.
26:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Can Heritage Christian make Lutherans 3 year run as regional champions of Michelle?
26:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Be nice if Heritage Christian could, they're going to be playing it at their place.
26:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they are playing better of late, but I believe Lutheran will win this game.
26:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me Lutheran as well and sectional 38 are final class two a sectional in the south of the state it is ten and one and seventh ranked triton central at eleven and o and third ranked lapel and you talk about great ones I have a triton central worth six lapel worth four lapel eleven and o for the first time in program history triton central coming off a huge forty nine to six way over number fifteen northeastern
27:21
[SPEAKER_01]: The Tigers for six, the Bulldogs for four.
27:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say this.
27:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I will not be surprised if tried central wins that game.
27:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I picked Lapella win this section.
27:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to stay with Lapella.
27:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I just said maybe Body, how might be the best quarterback in class 2A.
27:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the best dual threat quarterback in 2A.
27:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure.
27:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the best throwing quarterback in 2A resides at Lapella in Devon Craig.
27:46
[SPEAKER_00]: What a phenomenal job.
27:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He's done.
27:48
[SPEAKER_00]: They're never out of a game and he never panics.
27:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, come back to see drives as he led his team on to win those close games.
27:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes say, well, they catch up to you when you can lose one, but the confidence his teammates have in him and in each other because they have been able to come back.
28:09
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a nice little nugget to have in your bag when you get to the tournament because you've been there, you believe, you're never out of the game and you believe you can win even if you have to drive 80 yards in 60 seconds.
28:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Which, of course, he did against Eastern Hancock twice, and he did against Indian Creek, and if you keep doing that too often, going to that well, it's going to get you beat eventually.
28:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I picked Lapella when the sectional before it began, I'm going to change my vote here, that way I'm covered either way.
28:42
[SPEAKER_01]: This really is a toss-up game that I last week made me a believer.
28:46
[SPEAKER_01]: The way we had on Rob Hunt, not only for our Pendleton Heights, Yorktown Preview, but also or Lapella Triton Central Preview, and we talked about our expectations for the game on
29:00
[SPEAKER_01]: We move to Class A where we have two sectionals and sectional 42 is another one that we have a preview on.
29:06
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a couple of new friends at the Central Indiana Sports Report, Sam Ward from Frankfurt and Val Sitzaurus in Rochester.
29:16
[SPEAKER_01]: We talked to both of them about this game.
29:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Val talking about the pioneer Panthers and...
29:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam about the Carol Cougars.
29:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Pioneer is ranked third in the state they are 10 and one they're only lost a 38 to 20 loss to Miles McLaughlin and the Knox Redskins despite giving up 38 points in that game.
29:38
[SPEAKER_01]: They only give up 9 points for game.
29:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Very impressive 42 to 6 win last week over previously unbeaten front tier.
29:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Carol comes in at 7 and 3.
29:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They've won 4 of their last 5 and beat Winna Mack 27 to 14.
29:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And then a defending champion Taylor 20 to 19 last week, Michelle, I have Pioneer worth 4 points.
30:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Carol at home worth 6 as the underdog Michelle, who you're taking in Pioneer Carol Pioneer, I picked Pioneer from the get go to win this section on that picture to win every week.
30:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And I believe they're going to win Friday night.
30:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle, I've picked Carol to win the sectional.
30:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I've picked Carol to win every week of the sectional so far, but I'm changing my mind.
30:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen enough the last two weeks to say that Pioneer not only is going to win the sectional, but they might win more games than that.
30:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they might.
30:31
[SPEAKER_01]: In our final sectional in Class A is one that we expect to be.
30:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Baby are least competitive of all of them.
30:37
[SPEAKER_01]: The Sheridan Blackhawks at home, 7 and 2 against 7 and 4 Cloverdale.
30:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Sheridan is one twenty two sectional champions championships including three and a row Michelle do they make it for they do the black ox will win on Friday night.
30:56
[SPEAKER_01]: He had about a thousand sectional championships under but right now they're about to get their first under first year head coach.
31:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Jake Chesney.
31:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle final thoughts on the eve of championship of the championship tournament.
31:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, I want to congratulate all the teams that have made it to this week and wish them all good luck.
31:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it every week when you lose when it's the end of your season, it's tough.
31:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It's tough because you have to say goodbye to seniors.
31:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I was part of two sectional championship losses, by the way.
31:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I've covered a lot of them, sexual championships through the years.
31:32
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just something special when I hope the weather stays and is good because I'm not on wood.
31:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been pretty good weather all.
31:39
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been fantastic.
31:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Rainier couple of times, but even that's been limited.
31:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it wasn't a lot of snow coming out this during this turn.
31:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I think winner is going to pay us back.
31:50
[SPEAKER_00]: least right now that the mixed precipitation is not supposed to arrive until Sunday night.
31:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but it is going to get cold.
31:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be starting the 60s and by the time these games in Friday nights going to be down like in the upper 30s.
32:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So, dress one fans don't over dress early.
32:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Take, take, take stuff so you can add layers and save travels to all involved.
32:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Michelle, thank you so much.
32:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, you're welcome, Greg.
32:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It's always a pleasure.
32:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't forget on Friday night, we will have our high school sectional championship scoreboard shows close to Midnight as possible.
32:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we will talk about it all on part two of our scoreboard show sometime.
32:28
[SPEAKER_01]: not Friday night because those nights got way too late.
32:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to do that either on Saturday.
32:34
[SPEAKER_01]: We might do it on Monday.
32:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of an aftermath of what happened.
32:37
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have guests and we'll have fun.
32:39
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we will do this all again next week for our regional championships.
32:42
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have more previews and more predictions.
