Merrillville scrimmage.

Post by TROJANMAN7 »

So just for the hell if it I turned on the Merrillville scrimmage this morning on jedtv.

Does anyone else know that Merrillville added the wishbone to there offense package? Or is this a big secret I feel like I’m out of the loop. But they ran a few plays out of it. I’m kinda shocked never expected to see it

lets change some pre season predictions. It's possible merrillville could start the season 0-3. with a possible second loss in the conference.

Highly unlikely. They have a better chance going 3-0 than 0-3.

They had alot of starters sit out the scrimmage. Andrean will hang around for a half but that game should still be 17-20 points

Loyola I agree should be a L but Loyola graduated the most kids they ever have and only return 1 kid that had any varsity time last season. They reload so I expect it to be an L but Merrillville has a shot to squeak a close one of things go right.


And crown point looked absolutely below average in there scrimmage. That week 3 game can go either way.


Merrillville during summer whooped on brownsburg and east St. Louis offensively but idk what they did against Lowell it’s like they kept everything caged. They friend to hid the QB mobility and we all know the kid is the best running QB in the area. Gonna be interesting I have them losing 1 game this year with. Tight win over crown point and a blowout over everyone else

Loyola is a top 25 team nationally.
And to say that CP was unimpressive… they were going against themselves. So was the defense good and the offense bad? Or was the offense good and the defense bad?

1st Merrillville is 731 nationally and 13th in Chicago rankings. Loyola is 368 nationally and 6th in Chicago rankings. Most sites have that as a 10-14 point game Loyola way. Which I expect to happen. But being that Merrillville is Loyola first game maybe they just catch them not having it all figured out yet and are able to hang around. Who knows.

And crown point just looked extremely underwhelming on both sides. DBs had issues keeping up with WRs, but the offense line was getting run over by defense line. Rb position at this point is below average no one stands out. Gibbs might be there best answer at RB. But when he was in backfield the offense line got worst. It was solid with him up at the TE spot. I mean they would lose to last season crown point team by 21-30 minimum in my opinion. QB was good. But a step down from Noah. Take that how ever you see fit.


I mean nowhere in there do I think there is a duneland team that’s superior this year. But I can say Merrillville had a handful of starters on both sides not suited up for scrimmage. (At least they were starters last year)

Or which starters did not play?

One of the top leading tacklers Warren brown I didn’t see out there. Could have missed him but definitely didn’t notice him out there with starting D. Starting WR dermont didn’t line up on offense at all only played defense for a few plays (maybe 5). Rynell Lewis wasn’t there (may if left team not sure) just to name a few. I mean the team just didn’t look right something was missing on defense the line was fine. But you could definitely see watching that some players didn’t look like they knew where they were supposed to be like they hadn’t been there all summer

I said possible 0-3. I am expecting merrillville to give andrean the business, but i'm giving andrean a small shot. Loyola is a toss up. I do NOT think merrillville will beat crown point. unless they iare really down this year.

Crown point is half the team they were last year at this point. But they got 2 more weeks to grown it.

I think Loyola is gonna be harder than crown point. Because they have the last 2 years Loyola projected to smack crown point worst than center grove did to them at state. According to calpreps
