It's not like basketball or something...taking the air out of the ball is running it with your backups...I don't know what else he can do. Teams can be so uneven many times in HS football...it wasn't even that bad a score. Now if they are running triple reverse option passes and just gunning the ball all over with their starters that would have been something else. This stuff is unavoidable and I think he had been on the opposite end a couple times this year. Hopefully another school will hire him. That's just dumb on the administrations part...but unsurprising in the current everyone gets a trophy generation. Hell, my era was the "Everyone gets 'A' trophy" Era. We've devolved into the "Everyone gets THE SAME trophy" Era. God forbid we recognize superior abilities or accomplishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Truthfully.. top to bottom... SC might play in the best sectional in the state, depth wise and relatively speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High of 66 right now on Friday showers in the morning.. looks like great football weather. I hope you make the trip up! That weather forecast has gone downhill. I will be watching the radar closely before making the trip up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Welp, I sat through 3 hours of mist, occasional rain and brutal wind, but Silver Creek suffered their first loss, 22-13 in a battle of unbeatens. With the conditions, the game was sloppier than both teams would normally show. Some big plays both ways added some scoring to a game that did not have a lot of offense, but in the end, the better team probably won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Avon and Brownsburg, the top 2 teams in the Sagarin ratings (by a significant margin) drew each other in the first round of the sectional. Other first round clash of the titans are spread throughout the draw. Meanwhile, there are several matchups where both schools won between 0-2 games. So, the inevitable questions are being asked. Should the tournament be 'all-in' or should there be some sort of qualifying system that restricts who makes the tournament? Should the tournament be seeded, either with a qualifying system or as an all-in? I'm against the qualifying system, but would not mind having the tournament seeded. Any seeding would need to be after there is a North/South split of schools. I can't see the value in having an Evansville school travel to South Bend just because the seeding says they should meet first round. Your thoughts?

Case in point. Ft Wayne Bishop Luers plays Snider this week, will likely lose, and will end their regular season with a 2-7 record. They are a Class 2A school and the smallest school in the SAC . They will be the favorites to win their sectional, probably regional and could conceivably advance farther. They absolutely should not be kept out due to a qualifying system. As far as the seeding system. How do you compare teams that play completely different levels of competition? I like the blind draw. If a lesser team can pull an upset that makes it more interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
