And Hughes played too
Merrillville offensive line has improved dramatically from the beginning of the season. Limit mistakes, no turnovers, qb plays a solid game. Merrillville wins.
I was listening to the broadcast as I was watching other games.
The announcers made note of poor shotgun snaps being made by the Merrillville center.
Anyone watching the game, give further detail?

You have to be really young milking this injury thing all season. Crown Point destroyed them. It was a 33 point win. They are the better football team. It happens. Merrilville is a good football program but this years team is not as good as Crown Point. It’s that simple. Rewatch that game. It’s hilarious you think it’s a 3-7 point game because a few kids didn’t start. That you say anyways but after you stated this earlier this season. I rewatched the game a second time. Sure the game could have been closer. Unfortunately CP is just a better football team this season. When the pirates beat valpo in regional, you didn’t hear me bringing up injured valpo starters why they lost. They lost because the defense wore down and didn’t make stops at the end of the game. Because Verschure dropped an interception. Because they had Ty Veen guard a RB coming out of the backfield on a third and long because he’s slow. Because Valparaiso coaching staff had no new wrinkles to present to a team it beat by 2 points earlier in the season. I watched every valpo game this season. Exact same game plan every week. Run between the tackles. Wear down the opposing team because they have better talent and play defense. Using injuries for an excuse for a loss is just a lousy excuse. Accept the loss and move on.
On a side note. I am curious to see coach Bill Marshals coaching for next season. They lose a lot of talent. And they have had elite talent the last 5-6 years. I don’t think next years team has that kind of talent. If he gets the 2024 squad to 6-3 or 7-2. It might be his best coaching job since he’s been the head coach.
