Uncle Mike is riding high after being right on 11 of his 14 picks in the Week 1 staff picking contest. Heck, he isn’t right that often in guessing what state he is in.
However, he stopped gloating long enough to give his observations on Week 2 …
Northern Indiana
Andrean 50, Hammond Noll 7
I will resist all the obvious punch lines and just say that is what happens when you honk off the 59ers.
Concord 57, Elkhart Memorial 32
Word is they had to give the referees oxygen so they could keep running.
Portage 41, Highland 6
This is two very impressive performances in a row. All the pollsters started the season thinking Merrillville was the beast in “The Region.” Do you think it has been so long since they have been up there that they don’t know the difference between the two?
Valparaiso 57, Gary Roosevelt 0
I know it was Gary Roosevelt, but come on. That is more points than Valpo normally scores in a season.
Benton Central 14, Lafayette Central Catholic 13
This is a signature win for a program that desperately needed one.
Central Indiana
Madison-Grant 68, Eastern (Greentown) 48
How about that? The losing team scored more points than a Basil Mawbey-coached basketball team scores when it wins!
Center Grove 55, Perry Meridian 14
The Trojans got wild and crazy in this one. They actually threw the ball six times. I’m not kidding.
Greenfield-Central 27, Pendleton Heights 24
The Cougars are 2-0. That is nice to see for a school that was once a proud football power.
Columbus East 35, Columbus North 3
I would not want to be at Bull Dog practice on Monday.
North Montgomery 56, Seeger 14
There are a couple of ways to go with this one. This is the second week in a row that the Chargers have scored 50 points. On the other side, lord how the mighty have fallen.
Southport 43, Anderson 9
This is a great win for Bill Peebles, who is one of the really nice guys in the business.
Southern Indiana
Floyd Central 28, Providence 23
It is strange to say about a Class 4A team beating a 2A squad, but this is a big win for the Highlanders.
Paoli 41, Mitchell 14
I always thought people in Paoli thought a football was just a basketball that somehow got shaped wrong.
Seymour 28, Jeffersonville 20
This is not the start the Red Devils had in mind this year.
Southridge 27, Jasper 21
This is two years out of three. I predict a civil war, some redistricting – something.
