I know Portage lost their RB to Michigan City. How many other actual starters left? If the answer is slim to none then I'm not sure Richards would have made that much of a difference. The team I saw play Morton on Friday night looked small, slow, and not very talented.
I watched the entire Zionsville / Pike game. Pike is basically just their QB who is very mobile and finds a way to extend plays. Zionsville looks to once again be a middle to bottom dwellar in the Hoosier Crossroads, which isn't a knock on them considering the level of comp they play. Crown Point is realistically a joke to be considered a legit Top 10 team this year if they can't win comfortably on West 71st Street.
Who started at QB for Merrillville? I recall some speculation that the very talented Junior wasn't going to start.
I watched the first half of the City game and most of the Lafayette Jeff/Bishop Chatard game. Lafayette Jeff has a beast at WR who is really going to test the City defense. They run some intersting sets that will have him line up way off the line of scrimmage and catch the ball in a full sprint on quick hitches. Remimds me of Areana League. I liked the spread City used on offense to get their playmakers the ball in a position for YAC. Thought their QB play was shaky in the 1st half. Didn't seem to be very accurate.
Boiler, hope you're well my friend. Mr. Cody is correct (or very close to correct) on who Portage lost this offseason. Portage has lost some guys as a result of their poor decision(s)/ leadership. As far as the rest, CP will be lucky to win the Sectional, let alone Regional this year. City and Jeff will probably be fun to watch again this year.
Thanks Brother. You too. That’s a lot to lose. I just don’t get that place. Feels like they have way better talent than we did in the ‘90’s. We weren’t very big. Just fast and tough. Spurrier was the only D1 recruit we produced and he never played FB. Went to Purdue on T&F scholarship and was a beast at Hammer. Buzea was from Griffith and most Assistants played for Howell at Hobart. Excellence was demanded. It’s a shame Richard’s didn’t get a chance to bring Portage back.
Absolute shame that Roy didn't get a chance to coach them this year and beyond. Word on the street is people thought (before the firing) that Portage may be a top 3 DAC team this season. As we saw this past week, won't be the case now, unfortunately for the kids.
