Week 9 Previews & Predictions with Grant Shouse, Michelle Garmon & Greg Mengelt (The HS Football Report, 3.80) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:04
[SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to the Central Indiana Sports Reports week nine previews and predictions show for the high school football season.
0:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Where every week the action sports network duo of Kevin Helferick and Grant Shows and Tipton Tribune and L. Wood Colleaders Sports Editor Michelle Garmin to preview the best 20 games in Central Indiana and make our predictions.
0:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
0:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome high school football fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for our week nine previews and predictions.
0:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm your host, Greg Mengal, I am joined by the Action Sports Network's Grant Shows.
0:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Tipton Tribune and L would call either sports editor or Michelle Garmin.
0:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Kevin Helferick is absent.
0:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So that means that he has to go first next week.
0:52
[SPEAKER_01]: We will get his picks and put him in the background of the video, or we'll tell you next week either way.
1:00
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll get his picks, but we are here to pick the 20 biggest games of the week, and guys, I'm just going to be honest, this week nine is supposed to be the biggest week of the regular season.
1:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Typically conferences have set up to where we can have a big conference championship game, and there just aren't very many.
1:19
[SPEAKER_01]: There aren't even a lot of great games this weekend.
1:23
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have two head-to-head championship games, which are Central Indiana Game of the Week is Lafayette Jeff at Muncie Central for the North Central Conference and Western Boon at Cascade for the Monon Conference, but mostly not a great week of games, but we're going to pick him anyway.
1:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome, guys.
1:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, once have a good week here.
1:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's some great games going around.
1:50
[SPEAKER_02]: One game, Greg.
1:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I wish you would put on the docking.
1:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Is Owen A. Marion at Owen A. Andersen.
1:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone's winning a football game Friday.
1:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I just couldn't do it.
2:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I just couldn't do it.
2:02
[SPEAKER_01]: You pondered it though, didn't you?
2:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I did.
2:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't believe how bad it got.
2:07
[SPEAKER_01]: That's quickly a Marion.
2:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, Michelle and I grew up
2:14
[SPEAKER_01]: in the same neighborhood as Shane Arnold where big fans of Shane Arnold, but it's been rough.
2:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel sorry for him.
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He loves the game of football.
2:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He pours his heart and soul into it.
2:25
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just didn't go, he didn't that go into an ideal situation.
2:31
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
2:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know.
2:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a challenge.
2:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a challenge.
2:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It has.
2:35
[SPEAKER_01]: But we do have a few good games as Grant mentioned, including our local game of the week is Oak Hill at Mississippi.
2:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Grant and I did our CIC recap on Monday, and we said, well, it's kind of a meaningless game now, but Oak Hill and Mississippi was never meeting with Grant.
2:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Never, and O'Kill has built some momentum or did build some momentum and had the heart-breaking losses for a class Friday, so I'm curious to see how they'll respond going into this game.
3:06
[SPEAKER_02]: It gets missed a center wall.
3:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd like to say it's one of those games where you throw the records out, but missed a center wall is kind of controlled the series over the last few years.
3:15
[SPEAKER_01]: The Indians won six games in a row.
3:18
[SPEAKER_01]: They, of course, dominated at the CIC.
3:20
[SPEAKER_01]: None of the games were particularly close.
3:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Last week's game wasn't a blowout by any means against Madison Graham.
3:26
[SPEAKER_01]: But none of the games were particularly close.
3:29
[SPEAKER_01]: They're playing well, not a great year in the CIC.
3:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So not exactly how sure it's going to translate into the post season for Mrs. Sinole on a really tough sectional, really tough opening draw.
3:41
[SPEAKER_01]: But on Friday night, they're the favorite John Harrell says by 18 points.
3:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's gonna be closer than that, but I'm taking Mrs. Sinowal, Michelle.
3:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Mrs. Sinowal, it may be a little closer than that.
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: It might be close or it might be close in the first half, but I just think Mrs. Sinowal is just pretty good and I just think that they will look to continue the momentum as they head into the section.
4:06
[SPEAKER_01]: A grant, can I just,
4:08
[SPEAKER_01]: save the coaches some time and they're voting and name Levi Crandell the CIC player the year.
4:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you could.
4:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, that a great year.
4:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I like Mr. Sino on this game, though.
4:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they'll win pretty comfortably.
4:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's close to the first half.
4:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's competitive, but I take Mr. Sino while pulls away.
4:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Game number two is Franklin at Eastbrook, Franklin is one back to back games.
4:36
[SPEAKER_01]: After an Owen six star Eastbrook, a great win last week over Oak Hill, a come from behind victory, a great job by Owen Kelly to lead the Panthers to the win.
4:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And they come into this game at four and four, not a typical Jeff Adam's and team, but a pretty good Jeff Adam's and team.
4:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And according to the Sagan rating, they are a two touchdown favorite against Frank
5:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree in, you know, Marty said it after the win last week that Frank and has gotten better every week, and they've been in some competitive game.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So I look, I think Frank and kid actually keep this game competitive the first half.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think, Mr. Sinaloa will pull away, although I was pretty impressed with Frank and offense and I had granted, and I know it was against that way, but I just kind of liked some of the play.
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: play calls and the way they ran the plays and I it just I thought they looked better and more balanced.
5:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's fricking a lot of their mojo back and they get a lot of confidence now chance to finish above 500 in the regular season I'll take he's fricking to win on Friday.
5:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Game number three is Madison Grant at Blackford, and don't need to spend a lot of time on this with Madison Grant six and two.
6:03
[SPEAKER_01]: They've lost back to back games, but against two really good teams, Blackford is lost six in a row.
6:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Last year, the score was 62 to nothing, and it'll be something like that again.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, Madison Grant rolls.
6:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Madison Grant and a blowout, me and Kevin are gonna enjoy the Hartford City Pizza King afterwards.
6:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to do the ceremonial 200 in lane three grand?
6:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I forgot to do the ceremonial 200.
6:34
[SPEAKER_02]: The last time I was there, so I might, I had a lot on my mind the last time I was there.
6:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I used plan, I was distracted, I was just, I was keyed up about stuff.
6:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll probably get the ceremonial 300 in or 200, whatever it is, I might even know it didn't even happen, so that's it.
6:52
[SPEAKER_02]: one of the things for Friday and I think this goes for a lot of games, especially over will be, and this isn't just like, oh, this is only going to happen in Hartford City.
7:00
[SPEAKER_02]: It's probably everywhere in the area is it's just be a little windy and the wind can knock the temperature down to 40 degrees Friday night.
7:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's going to be a chilly Friday night.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes it is.
7:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Game number four is Alexandria Frontier, Alexandria 5 and 3.
7:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Frontier 3 and 5.
7:21
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is a complete mismatch.
7:23
[SPEAKER_01]: The Sagarin rating says Alexandria by 40.
7:26
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a long trip.
7:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But Alexandria is going to win their sixth game of the year.
7:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Quietly, one of the better teams around in Central Indiana.
7:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Alexander is going to roll.
7:37
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to bring up balanced.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: offence of attack to frontier, something that Frontier doesn't see a lot of in the area of the state and conference they play and so I expect that might take it might take the Tigers a couple of possessions, but once they really get rolling there, they'll just continue to blow on by.
8:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And Grant probably not going to beat Lapella in that sectional.
8:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
8:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they keep that that interest going into the tournament on Friday.
8:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they win that game pretty comfortably on the road up in front here.
8:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Game number five is in the Hoosier Conference and it's Western at Tipton.
8:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Western comes in at three and five, but playing their best football of late.
8:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Tipton comes in at four and four and really struggling of late.
8:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Before we make our picks with here for Michelle and get an update on what's going on with Tipton.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: it will be a senior night through the blue devils tomorrow night and they don't have a big senior class but they've got some kids that have made some big contributions the last three to four years one of them being Dakota Garmin and another one being Nathan Hawkins and I know I am missing out on others but I do know those two have played a lot of marchy football
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: since they hit high school and they played huge roles this year.
9:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't expect Quint told a play.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't expect Quint told to play and I didn't.
9:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Once he was hurt, I didn't expect him to play until the first week of the sectional anyway.
9:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and I even thought that had the draw gone,
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Tipton's way and maybe they drew Elwood or something.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have been surprised if he didn't play until the second week.
9:27
[SPEAKER_00]: That said, and I know that Lincoln wrote a ball to sophomore had a great night, a great game against Twin Lakes.
9:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a badass, right?
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He threw a couple of interception, but interceptions, but he also only had four incompletions and three for 150 some yards.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The key to tipped in is their defense.
9:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Western is a lot easier team to prepare for because they're pretty one-dimensional.
9:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Austin Colby's pretty one-dimensional.
9:51
[SPEAKER_00]: They like to run.
9:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and tipped in real struggles been stopping the past.
9:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that's exactly it.
9:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they can load up more against the run and by the same token all Lincoln has to do even if the you know if the game is conditions are bad when when can affect field position.
10:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So that might be that actually could be a game that comes down to who.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: has the wind at their back, or you hope that the wind, I guess, is going east or west, it will be bad for everybody.
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: So, field position becomes a real factor, and while Western has a good running game, I still think that Tipton has a pretty good running game of their own, and saying, Baron, am I still think he is one of the best backs?
10:31
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, he's probably maybe behind a couple of Logan's port kids, but I think the Logan's port running backs in Zayne are the best backs in the conference.
10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Michelle, I'm going to make my pick and I agree with you.
10:43
[SPEAKER_01]: This is definitely matchup wise way better for Tipton, but I like the way Western's been playing of late.
10:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the way they're running the ball.
10:50
[SPEAKER_01]: They're starting to pick up on Austin Colby's system.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think they're going to win this game.
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, matchup wise, it could be an advance for Tipton.
11:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong, but I'm taking Western.
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, I think this is going to be the first time that we all did that we disagree tonight so far.
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm actually going to take a blue doubles in this one.
11:14
[SPEAKER_00]: This game means a little bit more.
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It what means a little bit more both teams and actually, but you guys probably don't realize it the reason it means a little bit more is.
11:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Quinn's mother, Erin's wife, E.J., is a teacher at Wester and has gets right for years and she's the girl's golf coach.
11:34
[SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't want the blue doubles to lose because she catches black at school for that and Erin doesn't want
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't want to lose because he doesn't want to lose anyway, but he doesn't want his wife to have to catch black in.
11:46
[SPEAKER_00]: But I am going to take tip.
11:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I think being home, I think it being senior night, Dakota Garmin's really picked up and has really had, he's had a couple back to back, really good games.
11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just like the fact that I think this might be for Tipton's defense, the easiest game they've had to prepare for since playing Manchester in week two.
12:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't stand you guys really.
12:12
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is me, we, we made a decision even harder, Michelle.
12:23
[SPEAKER_02]: You have made this decision even harder, this to me is a toss up from what I've heard you both say, you know, western is playing really good football right now.
12:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to stick with the home team, I'm going to take tipped in.
12:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Michelle saying that the match of definitely favors tipped in a little more and being able to run the football.
12:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully they can get a win when they're back up quarterback and get tall healthy for this action all and I out tipped in wins.
12:48
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take him.
12:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So give me the blue devil's beat Western.
12:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Staying in the Hoosier Conference, a game we expected to be the central Indiana sports report game of the week, but it turned out to not be, that's because Twin Lakes got their butts kicked last week by Hamilton Heights, and now Logan sport is the Hoosier Conference Champion, and as we've been saying all year, Michelle, this doesn't even seem like to us.
13:10
[SPEAKER_01]: It was going to be a good game even when both teams were unbeaten.
13:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Logan's sport is a level above Twin Lakes.
13:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think this is close.
13:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I think 30 maybe generous.
13:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I love his port is really, really good.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: And they are a level of love everybody else and the who's your conference and two levels above some.
13:34
[SPEAKER_00]: It's love and support and blowout.
13:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I will take the berries to win at the berry patch on Friday.
13:41
[SPEAKER_02]: They'd be twin lakes.
13:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, I agree with you guys, I think it's kind of a blowout.
13:45
[SPEAKER_01]: There are four teams at the top of Class 4A that look like they are head and shoulders above.
13:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody else, I think Logan sports the fifth best.
13:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I would put them up against East Noble.
13:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I would put them up against any of those other teams, not Dwinger, Ron Kali, East Central, or Chetard.
14:07
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think they're the fifth best.
14:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And they might be as good as those others because they are that good.
14:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Staying in the Hoosier Conference, West Lafayette at Hamilton Heights, and West Lafayette 2 and 6 coming off the win over Tipped in Hamilton Heights, 5 and 3, 5 wins in a row, coming off the blowout win over Twin Lakes, clearly now the second best team in the Hoosier Conference in Hamilton Heights is going to win this game going away, and I really like what they're doing heading toward the postseason show.
14:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it will be exactly going away though, because West Lafayette has kind of shed their jekyll hide thing a little bit.
14:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think they could challenge the Huskies, but I do believe the Huskies will win Friday night.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they'll roll in at that section.
14:59
[SPEAKER_01]: One of Grant's favorite players, Fielder Melke, is one of the best receivers in Central Indiana.
15:05
[SPEAKER_01]: So you got to be careful with him.
15:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Blake Bittles and I scored her back.
15:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I will take Hamlet tonight to the win on Friday, and we move to the, who's your heart land conference where Eastern clinched at least to share of the conference championship last week with a nice win over Sheridan.
15:26
[SPEAKER_01]: The comments come in and rank seventh in class two eight.
15:29
[SPEAKER_01]: No, Clinton, Perry five and three one of those middle of the road.
15:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But fairly competitive, who's your heart land teams, but the Sager and rating says the comments by four touchdowns, and that's probably right.
15:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree, you know, this could be a little bit of a
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: a trap game for eastern and I if they weren't so senior dominated and I say that because they have typically in the first round of the section of the following week and you know that's turned into a great sectional ride we'll read here the last three to four years and sometimes kids can look ahead but not those eastern seniors and that gives an eagle not coach Edward son Abraham I just like eastern they're gonna roll on Friday I will back all that up of the
16:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And game number nine is also in the who's your heartland conference and the second and third best teams in the conference go ahead to head shared in at Carroll.
16:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Shared in ranked 13th Carol ranked 10th in class A black Hawks are five and three the coogers are six and two is going to be a good one.
16:41
[SPEAKER_01]: John Harold says Carol by three points and I disagree I think Sheridan's going to win this I think Sheridan is.
16:49
[SPEAKER_01]: a really good team that's going to be a factor in the postseason and class A. I think Pioneer better watch out for Sheridan because what I saw with them against Eastern was a really good class A team.
17:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Sheridan to win this game.
17:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking the coogers.
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They are very tough to beat at home.
17:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And that game is at Carroll.
17:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And they really are very tough to beat at home.
17:14
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like Eastbrook.
17:15
[SPEAKER_00]: They like to control tempo.
17:17
[SPEAKER_00]: They just don't go quick.
17:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not that they don't run.
17:20
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't run a know-how to like Eastbrook.
17:22
[SPEAKER_00]: But they're very good.
17:23
[SPEAKER_00]: They're very disciplined.
17:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a system.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And they run it very well.
17:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be a close one.
17:28
[SPEAKER_00]: But give me the coogers.
17:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, another toss up for me here.
17:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take Carol as well.
17:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Carol be chaired and on Friday night all that.
17:39
[SPEAKER_02]: That'll be a really good football game.
17:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Those are two really good teams of that conference.
17:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Two good, small 1a schools, but I'll take Carol to prevail.
17:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They're done.
17:49
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys, if you'd seen them play Easter and on Friday night, that is a really, they had every chance to win that game against a really good Eastern team.
17:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a,
17:59
[SPEAKER_01]: a program that is back on the rise there, shared and I really like their teams.
18:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And game number 10 is in the Eastern Crossroads Conference.
18:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Heritage Christian at Lepelle and we definitely don't need to spend much time on this.
18:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Lepelle 7 and 1 ranked sixth in class 2A rebounded from their only loss of the year to Eastern Hancock the week before.
18:21
[SPEAKER_01]: with a big win last week, Heritage Christian is 0 and 8.
18:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Saggering ratings says lapel by 61 and we don't need to waste our time, do we?
18:32
[SPEAKER_00]: No, lapel, I'm not even sure they'll let the Heritage Christian cross the 50. lapel and I think they hold Heritage Christian score.
18:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's, yeah, I'm expecting a shout out as well.
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I would be scared of lapel if I were the rest of blast 2A.
18:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll just say that.
18:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Make sure you come back for our week 9 recap, where we talk high school football for hours and hours, additions will be out on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
19:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I talk with Kate Hampton of the Muncie Star Press, Will Willems of the 11 and reporter, Grant Shows and Kevin Helferick, Michelle Garmin, and others about the games they've covered.
19:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss any other.
19:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And our second segment here is our 10 best games in Central Indiana, regardless of Conference and we start with the Central Indiana game of the week.
19:34
[SPEAKER_01]: It is for the North Central Conference, the clear two best teams in the North Central Conference all year, two different styles, two different places the programs, just been good for a while.
19:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Central is the team on the rise of Michelle and I've been talking about for three years that they've been a program on the rise.
19:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's their time, Michelle.
19:54
[SPEAKER_01]: The bear cats can put an exclamation point on their rebuild with a conference championship here under Coach Kyle Burrish.
20:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And I, I think this is gonna be a better game than people are expecting the Sagger and Rating says Jeff by a touchdown.
20:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm expecting a close game guys.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll be a close game too, and I think once he central maybe just a year away from being a really, really good team, they made major strides, and I think they'll take another leap forward next year.
20:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Lafayette Jeff is the experienced team, and they're looking to intersectional play on a roll.
20:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it will be a great game, and hopefully it's a good crowd, although weather could prevent that.
20:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I had a chance to see Muncie Central a few weeks ago against Marianne.
20:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I was really impressed about explosives.
20:47
[SPEAKER_02]: They are offensively, Lafayette Jeff is the same way.
20:50
[SPEAKER_02]: They put up 71 last week against Marianne.
20:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's going to be a fun, fun game Friday night.
20:55
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's a good one for the North Central Conference and it sets up really well to have that game be the conference championship right at the end of the season.
21:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Long drive for Lafayette over to Muncie.
21:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Do they have a little bit of jet lag?
21:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
21:07
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see.
21:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I grew with Michelle.
21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Monthly Central is probably a year away.
21:14
[SPEAKER_01]: They're quarterback to junior.
21:16
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of their skill players are junior.
21:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably they're best overall player, though, is a senior that's high at he is a difference maker.
21:24
[SPEAKER_01]: If you can make a player too, and this one's centralized a chance, but I'm going to agree with Michelle.
21:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's probably next year that they win it just still a little too good for him.
21:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think Lafayette Jeff wins.
21:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's close if Mussy Central would get the win.
21:38
[SPEAKER_00]: What would I be surprised to know?
21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think the Broncos will pull this one out.
21:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I will take the Broncos with an eight to beat the Bear Cats of Mussy Central.
21:51
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have a great game in game number 12.
21:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Two teams that could very well see each other again down the road in the playoffs.
21:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Two teams.
22:00
[SPEAKER_01]: that have played each other in the postseason in the past.
22:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is Ron Colley at East Central.
22:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Ron Colley comes in at 6 and 2 East Central at 7 and 1.
22:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Trojan's ranked number one, the Royals ranked number five.
22:13
[SPEAKER_01]: The Sagarin rating says East Central by 5.6 points.
22:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And it should be that close.
22:20
[SPEAKER_01]: John Harrell says his prediction is he's central by 17.
22:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he's central is that good, but I really like this Ron Colley team and Alex Jarvis.
22:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking the upset.
22:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Ron Colley.
22:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, that's interesting, because I was sitting there tossing this game kind of back and forth, you know.
22:40
[SPEAKER_00]: figure trying to figure out which way I would go and I knew I would just wait till it's time to make my pick.
22:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually going to take East Central, but I do think it's going to be closer to the sad grin predictions as opposed hairless.
22:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's it's a one score game.
22:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I did difference is no more than one score.
22:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to agree with Greg on this one.
23:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take Ron, Kylie.
23:05
[SPEAKER_01]: 2 out of 3 take the upset.
23:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I like it.
23:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And we move to the Monon Championship game.
23:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Western Boone 6 and 2 cascade 7 and 1 both teams 6 and 0 and the conference and either team challenge at all in the conference season.
23:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Cascade rank 8, of course they are the reigning state champions.
23:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Not quite the same cascade team as last year, but over the last couple weeks of start to really look like.
23:31
[SPEAKER_01]: that cascade team western boon is a sleeper they lost early to try west and leavening but they've been playing very well since they are growing up a young team growing up in a program that's going to just keep getting better here but this is cascade they are playing too well and my only question is can they beat south putton the next week
23:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's gonna be a, that's a question for next week.
24:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Western Boone is well coached team, but Cascade is playing well.
24:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I will take Cascade as well.
24:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I will take Cascade.
24:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that running game is so good.
24:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, lost a lot of guys from last year, but now I'll have a couple of really good juniors, particularly Timothy Turner, Junior, and Cascade is a legit contender again.
24:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Another good one, non-conference game, Eastern Hancock Travels out of conference to Milan, Eastern Hancock ranked fifth in Class 2A, Milan ranked fifth in Class A.
24:38
[SPEAKER_01]: The Royals, right, no.
24:39
[SPEAKER_01]: The Indians are seven and one.
24:42
[SPEAKER_01]: The Sagan rating says Eastern Hancock by 20.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think Eastern Hancock's gonna win this game.
24:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Michelle, they really challenge themselves out of conference here, and I like that what they're doing with playing Milan here
24:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I do too.
24:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I think Eastern Hancock wins.
24:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think, I'll be surprised if it's 20.
25:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll be closer than that.
25:01
[SPEAKER_00]: That will be a long drive.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a good mild and team, but I will take Eastern Hancock.
25:09
[SPEAKER_02]: My one, I think, needs another miracle Friday.
25:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take Eastern Hancock.
25:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And we move to the three river's conference where Rochester is at McConaugua, Rochester 4 and 4 coming off a nice upset win over Northwestern last week.
25:26
[SPEAKER_01]: McConaugua unbeaten eight no ranked ninth in class 3A and Aiden Robinson is just throwing the ball all over the place 346 yards per game 36 touchdown passes and as well as Rochester played last week, they are not beating McConaugua.
25:43
[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're not mechanical.
25:45
[SPEAKER_00]: By two or more scores.
25:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Mechanic wall running clock second half.
25:49
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
25:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Any much more competitive game in the three rivers, or by the way, congratulations to mechanical on their conference championship.
25:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot to mention that.
25:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Northfield at Northwestern Northfield is had a really nice year five and three Northwestern was having a really nice year and then suddenly started to stumble including last year stunning lost a Rochester really looked like they were the best team all night but couldn't get over the hump.
26:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And this one says it's going to be a close one,
26:25
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to win this game.
26:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, they've got to show up that defense.
26:29
[SPEAKER_01]: That's sexual.
26:29
[SPEAKER_01]: They're in is really good.
26:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Northwestern.
26:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm picking Northfield.
26:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I talked to Brandon Baker today, told me they probably would have beat per year last week if they had showed up in the first half.
26:45
[SPEAKER_02]: He said they have kind of had problems putting a full game together.
26:50
[SPEAKER_02]: They need long drives.
26:51
[SPEAKER_02]: If Northfield's gonna win, they're not gonna be able to score well like Northwestern Kian.
26:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they can control the time of possession on Friday.
27:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope, the clock, long drives that can end in points, get stops to offensively.
27:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take Northfield to beat Northwestern.
27:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Game number 17 is a big one, Blooming to the South at Senator Grove, Blooming to the South comes in at seven and one, ranked second in Class 5A, Senator Grove at six and two, ranked seventh in Class 6A.
27:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Senator Grove last week without their quarterback without their top receiver to the lost Dolores North, but they last year beat,
27:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Bloomington, South by 21 points and I think it's going to be something like that again.
27:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the center growth team is really good and a team to watch out for in the post season.
27:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree, center growth.
27:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Center growth.
27:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I did not expect a sleep.
27:49
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what Kevin has to say later.
27:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Game number 18 is the Mick Champion Warren Central Warriors looking to end their regular season unbeaten for the first time in a long, long time.
28:01
[SPEAKER_01]: They are taking on a homestead program that's struggling at three and five.
28:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Sagger and rating says Warren Central by 25 and that's about what it's going to be Michelle.
28:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
28:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I also agree.
28:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Warren Central, they're that good.
28:19
[SPEAKER_01]: They are that good, and they've got the trio of Anthony Dinnison, Zechariah Wallace, and Keyon Thomas, and they are a legit threat to Westfield and Brownsburg in the post-season.
28:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And then at the other end of the, Mick has been Davis at North Central last week, North Central, their first conference went in five years, and now they're looking to do it again against Ben Davis, the Giants are three and five.
28:47
[SPEAKER_01]: The Panthers are two and six.
28:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And
28:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The Sagarin rating says, Ben Davis by nine.
28:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to take Ben Davis because I don't have any courage.
28:56
[SPEAKER_01]: But man, I like this North Central team's future.
28:58
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got a star quarterback.
29:00
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got a star running back.
29:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And they are both going to be great next year as well.
29:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like North Central going forward.
29:09
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm taking Ben Davis.
29:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Ben Davis.
29:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Ben Davis.
29:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And become to our last game of the night, and it is also not going to be a very competitive one, but we did want to congratulate the Brownsburg Bulldogs on winning.
29:28
[SPEAKER_01]: The who's your crossroads conference day, of course, or number one, unbeaten the two time raining state champions.
29:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Hamilton Southeastern's coming and playing really well now four and four after starting the season.
29:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh and four, their sophomore quarterback, Deacon Johnson is a great one.
29:48
[SPEAKER_01]: He has been recruited by all the schools across the nation.
29:51
[SPEAKER_01]: But we all know Brownsburg's going to win this game going away, but I did want to mention Hamilton Southeastern as well.
29:56
[SPEAKER_01]: The pick is Brownsburg and Michelle Brownsburg.
30:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Brownsberg and I just want to start the Brandon Sharp from Mr. Football campaign right now.
30:07
[SPEAKER_01]: He is no question the best high school football player in Indiana and I don't think it's particularly close.
30:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He's having a great year.
30:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I just want to mention this, folks.
30:19
[SPEAKER_00]: If any of our listeners are out on Saturday and they see football lights on and you're sitting there going on wide, but games are Friday night.
30:30
[SPEAKER_00]: There will be schools across the state that will leave the lights on, I believe, for an hour and 15 minutes in honor and attribute to the Yorktown player that was tragically killed Chris Wilson.
30:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for mentioning that Michelle.
30:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much Grant.
30:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much Michelle.
30:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We will be back very soon with more high school football.

31:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Really busy week for Grant on the iU report as well.
31:13
