If CP stays healthy, they will roll to semi state when they will face an Indy team that will be as physical as them.

Merrillville better watch out for Lafayette Jeff.

Don’t confuse basic with effective!’ Great defense with a ground and pound offense with good te’s may not be pretty but it wins a lot of games. Merrillville on the hand has all the shiny toys on offense at skill position but a below average offensive line. This combo wins slot if games also but not ...

Most people get enamored with the skill positions but to be a really good team, you have to good up front on both sides of the ball especially on offense. If you’re not good up front, you are generally not a good offensive team. I think CP has a better oline than Merrillville and would be the only r...

I am not impressed at all with Merrillville wr group. This usually is a highly productive position group for Merrillville. They were not impressive at all vs Andrean and even worse gs Loyola. They need to get it corrected or teams like CP will load the box and shutdown running game. I would consider...

It’s all based on the power running game, play action and passing to TE’s. When you have a big offensive line and limitations at the skill positions, this is what you run. I don’t think labeling it good or bad is the correct way to describe them. It’s very effective for what they have in terms of ta...

Agree on your assessment of Valpo and MC especially Valpo. Coach Marshall is outstanding and I trust him to have his team improve. MC might have the talent on paper but I have not been impressed with them yet.

Also, my entry of Chesterton in Tier 2 was a generous one. Defense solid offense bad.

Agree on Chesterton. Why I think it’s clear is because it really doesn’t matter who finishes 3-8. Merrillville and CP are in class far above the other schools. The rest are unimpressive. If forced to tier, Tier 1: The elite - Merrillville and CP Tier 2: The average - Valpo, LC, MC, and Chesterton Ti...

The DAC is crystal clear! Two really good teams and the rest are of average at best. Those teams will beat up on each other through the conference.

I agree. Merrillville wins this game. Two very good teams but I think Merrillville is better team.

CP - took care of business in the heart of Indy. Good for CP and Region. Offense needs work! Merrillville - impressed me the most. Should have win that game. This team is really good. Stay healthy and this team can win 5A. The rest of the conference is a bunch of average teams. Merrillville beats CP...
