1. Crown Point: Clearly the cream of the crop.
2. Valpo: Admittedly, I haven't seen The Ville play. Valpo to me against Penn looked very similiar in most areas to last years team. I'll give them the edge for now.
3. Merrillville: Has 2 clear chances to move up the table in here and in the DAC standings
This is where it gets tricky. I, seemingly similiar to you, believe Hanover Central is ready for the NCC. Just not sure I have them that high.
4. Hobart
5. Lake Central: Providence Catholic is hit or miss in the Chicago Catholic Leauge. That might be a "good loss" later in the year.
6. Havover Central
7. Chesterton
8. Michigan City.
9. Highland

I can agree with you. Merrillville will test CP for the 1st time this year. And CP will test merrillville.VikingNation wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 12:43 pmWIll be good to see Merrillville actually play someone Friday. Andrean is so young, they start 3 freshmen on defense and really playing us and Merrillville are not good tape measures for how good they are going to be or how good either Us or Merrillville are.
Still a ton to prove for mulitple Region teams who have had weak out of conference schedules and I'm including Crown Point in the weak schedule discussion as well.
Fair point. But, I feel pretty confidant I won't have to eat any crow on that comment after next Friday. 'Dogs by at least 7. Won't be surprised if it's double digit MOV.cridge wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 4:21 amBetter wait one more week. crown point played chicago taft!!!Boilernation wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 5:03 pmWe disagree just slightly.

No reason to hold back on Crown Point. Their OOC was easily the worst if you're looking at the top half of 6A. They really need to have some difficult conversations with Lowell. I get it's one of Indiana's oldest rivalries, but I think we're entering an era where it's going to get very ugly for Lowell.VikingNation wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 12:43 pmWIll be good to see Merrillville actually play someone Friday.

I’m about 90% positive that this game is in the schedule for like 15 more years.. they signed a 20 year agreement or some crap back in like 2017 or somethingBoilernation wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 3:10 pmNo reason to hold back on Crown Point.
