A nice 1A school to take a look at is my alma-mater, Clay City.  The Eels are off to a 5-1 start, the lone loss being to Linton. (The played very poorly that game, and Linton is a pretty good squad led by the Oliver kid, and a nice group of Soph)  Clay City has wins over previously ranked 1A number 1 Bloomfield, and they took down Barr-Reeve.

 

Clay City is ranked #4 in 1A, led by a nice group of Juniors. Ethan Edwards has been on a tear to start the year. Very active on the glass and blocks a lot of shots for them.

IF they get quality minutes from their guards, they are pretty tough to beat.  In the Linton game their guards got on their heels, and Linton was physical with them....In the Barr-Reeve game, they played tough and came away with a victory...I'd love to see them make a run come Sectional time!

…..Shew! Just got back from watching Jennings County upset #4 Brownstown Central. Jack Benter was held to 21 pts. tonight, ( I know, he was supposed to be a little gimpy and possibly not play) but he looked pretty good. Carter Kent lead all scores with 30.
We came back from 19 down in the 3rd quarter and won by 8. What a great game and atmosphere!

2 quarters JV and 4 Varsity?

I remember when playing football we had low numbers and had to drop jv because of quarters.

My senior year there were only 23 of us, at a 3A school. 

Heck I remember my senior year we had like 23 playing varsity…lots of freshman starting and seniors all going both ways…still had a winning record at 5-4 😀

If I remember correctly you're from Dugger?  

Played you guys in football and basketball. I was a freshman when we played against Brody Boyd.

That was a fun game. Brownstown's 3 point shooting the first three quarters was something to see. Luckily they cooled off in the 4th. Kent was great but I was really impressed by Dorian Hacker. Think he is finally getting over the foot injury and looks to be turning into a really good player.

@btownqb - My son and I had a great time in the stands tonight at the Silver Creek-Brownstown game pretending to be the Brownstown radio announcers.  We saw SC get away with 138 fouls, 71 travels, 46 three-second violations, 19 double dribbles, and 8 FT lane violations. And, by gosh, Jack's going to be sore tomorrow with all the abuse he took tonight.  :coffee:

No.  We've just heard them on the radio multiple times before and find their homerism hysterical.  Game wasn't that interesting, so we decided to be them and moan about every call even with the Braves up 20.

Didnt realize until tonight Brownstowns JV is undefeated..  the JV team starts 3 varsity football players, MLB, center, and corner/slot... just sophomores, but very advanced. They play 6 or so football guys. 

SC gave the JV game away with sloppy ball-handling.  That said, the Btown JV was very well coached to get in the passing lane while on defense.

Oh they aren't the most skilled group. I think their best player, Pendleton, isn't playing JV right now because Micah Sheffer (ironically our QB) has a broken vertebrae and is out right now on the V. 

I'm sure they'll have a real test tonight playing at Carmel.  

Coaching wise-- Michael Leitzman,  who graduated a year behind, he started at corner on the football team, is their HC. He's won a sectional at Springs Valley but gave that up to come home.

They are horrendous. "Did you see you?" .... no stupid, that's why I'm listening to you.

Good friend of mine in GA used to be the PA announcer for the local HS football team. Told me just for fun he would start calling out numbers on the play for players sitting on the bench!😂

Remember playing at Hobart, PA announcer after we converted a 3rd& 1

” they say it’s a first down I guess”


Hobart & Sheridan used to dominate

Bit older than him. I was on the team that we won the Sectionals and lost to Bloomington North in regional finals. Last year of class basketball. Yeah we were smallest public school to have a football team.
