Unbelievable game to watch. Fort Wayne Snider has a grown man reciever #8.

I coached against New Pal last week and they are the real deal. Coach Ralph does things the right way. That is a well oiled machine he has up there.

 

I live in Owensboro but I'm a huge fan of what Nick Hart has done at Gibson Southern. How in the heck has he accomplished what he has? I notice they run a spread/zone attack. Just wanted your take on them. Thanks!

1) he's a really good coach.

2) the school has always had athletes but horrible coaching. I've gotten to know Nick and he's a great guy. This years senior class was loaded but the cupboard isn't empty in the coming years.

I follow Evansville, Orange County and Bloomington teams. But I have been really busy this football season and have not been on top of things, other than when Henderson played Evansville teams. I think it would be cool if we had more Indiana perspective here, like we do Ohio, and even Tennessee.

I can provide a little info on some Indiana teams...Fort Wayne Dwenger, who is East Central's opponent in the 4A game, has a stout defense. Should be a pretty good game, but I would say Dwenger is a bit of a favorite. Dwenger is the alma mater of Tyler Eifert.

 

Snider vs. New Palestine last night was one for the ages for sure. Snider is where a pretty decent CB named Rod Woodson played back in the day. In general, Fort Wayne has produced some high level talent through the years. Woodson, Eifert, current stud LB at Notre Dame, Jaylon Smith, Rush DE for the Cowboys, Anthony Spencer, RB at Stanford, Remound Wright.

 

6A game is Center Grove vs. Penn. As previously mentioned, Center Grove is a machine. Ranked top 10 nationally in USA Today, for whatever that's worth. They are the rare big school that still runs and succeeds with a Wing-T offense. Very strong team that has beaten everyone in Indy this year: Carmel, Cathedral, Warren Central, Ben Davis.

 

Penn was a powerhouse in the 80's & 90's, but hasn't been able to compete with the Indy schools lately. They have a stud QB who is going to Harvard next year. He is the X-factor in the game that can give Penn a shot at the win. Overall, Center Grove is probably a 10-14 point favorite.

 

2A game is Monrovia vs. Whiting. I don't know much about these schools, other than Monrovia runs the good ol' Belly offense like a champ. Had over 500 yards rushing in semi-state. Monrovia is the favorite in this one.

1) he's a really good coach.

2) the school has always had athletes but horrible coaching. I've gotten to know Nick and he's a great guy. This years senior class was loaded but the cupboard isn't empty in the coming years.

 

Thanks man! I always watch Home Team Friday on News25 and I like to watch Gibson Southerns highlights. I love their scheme and always think about what he could do with Owensboro's athletes! When OHS' job came open last year I was hoping they'd reach out to Hart. His dad is a heck of a ball coach too. I'm sure if the Reitz coach ever leaves or resigns they'll go after Nick Hart with the war chest lol

EC 6, Dwenger 0 at the half.

I did not read the thread because I still have three games left to watch. So if this is already in the thread, I apologize. I just watched the best game I ever have watched, as far as high school football goes. (Up to now my best game ever watched was the Trinity 59-56 win over Male in the state finals.)

The 5-a state final from Indiana bested that great game. Fort Wayne Snyder just beat New Palestine,64-61. New Pal. trailed 42-14 at one time and came back to take the lead twice only to fall in the final seconds.

I was going to say the exact same thing about New Pal and Snider but I didn't want to upset people. I coached against New Pal and was very surprised Snider jumped out on them like that. Snider's receivers are great. New Pals coach is a star in the making. Only 2 loses in the years.
