Merrillville's going to be loaded too, and Valpo has to go to Merrillville this year. The Pirates let Valpo off the mat last year, blowing a 28-10 fourth-quarter lead and still nearly hitting a deep TD pass late to win it (called back by penalty). So don't ship Valpo the DAC crown just yet--but another deep run in 5A looks like an excellent bet.HanShotFirst wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 12:59 amValpo landing Maximus Grimes all but guarantees a DAC crown and a shot at the state title. Cathedral likely lurking in the south.
The Pirates have not beat the Vikings in five seasons, Coach Wells' last year at the helm. Merrillville has questions to answer at QB, losing Rodriguez and Whitehead. Who takes the reins? Valpo just reloaded, getting a two-year starter who led the most prolific offense in the state last season. Nod to the guys in green.Clistonb wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 5:49 pmMerrillville's going to be loaded too, and Valpo has to go to Merrillville this year.

Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Just because Merrillville hasn't beaten Valpo in five years doesn't mean they won't. All streaks are made to be broken.HanShotFirst wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 11:46 pmThe Pirates have not beat the Vikings in five seasons, Coach Wells' last year at the helm.

How the turntables... Bucs have to be heavy favorites. Weapons everywhere on both sides of the ball.Clistonb wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 5:24 amPast performance is not indicative of future performance.

Valpo may very well beat Merrillville, but it's not a slam dunk.
