Two weeks in a row of rain is doing nothing for Uncle Mike’s disposition. It isn’t easy being a bald man in the rain, so watch out – his observations may be even crankier than usual.
Here we go …
Northern Indiana
Churubusco 39, Central Noble 0
Repeat after me: “It is only because of their schedule. It is only because of their schedule.”
Crown Point 14, Hobart 7
Just another classic from those wild and crazy offensive geniuses in “The Region.”
East Noble 41, Northridge 7
Remember this one. We may look back on this as the first sign of a new power up north.
Mishawaka 43, Goshen 0
Once again, Mishawaka shows indications this might be the year they win the only game that matters, which is against Penn. You will excuse me if I am not quite ready to drink the Kool-Aid.
Plymouth 42, Rochester 7
I don’t care who you are. If you beat Rochester by this much, you are pretty darn good.
Whiting 59, Hammond Gavit 0
Ah, it reminds me of when I was a wee lad back in ’49.
Lafayette Central Catholic 68, Benton Central 0
Well, at least it wasn’t 94, or whatever ridiculous total it was that one time last year.
Fort Wayne South 25, Fort Wayne Snider 20
(From guess smart-alec Aylsworth) There was no way I was letting Grandma Hernia not mention Sheridan losing last week, then not mention Snider losing this week (see Sign, Apocalypse below).
Central Indiana
Penn 7, Ben Davis 6
The big-game problems continue for the Giants.
Hamilton Heights 20, Sheridan 3
Sheridan 0-2? It has to be a sign of the Apocalypse.
Delta 23, New Palestine 0
Would somebody please remind the Eagles they are not supposed to win with defense? They are supposed to score more points than their basketball team, then hold on for dear life.
Fishers 10, Hamilton Southeastern 6
Uh, oh … Little Brother is all grown up now.
Muncie South 12, Muncie Central 7
OK, they can start basketball season.
Southwood 18, Oak Hill 7
The (Golden) Eagle has landed … with a thud.
Westfield 24, Avon 13
I think the word is WOW.
Southern Indiana
Bloomington North 31, Bedford North Lawrence 6
This is the second week in a row these guys have actually played defense. Somebody might want to pay attention.
Charlestown 35, Brownstown 14
… and the Pirates are a public school. That has to sting.
Evansville Central 36, Evansville Mater Dei 35 (OT)
Is there any doubt this was the game of the night?
Heritage Hills 63, Tell City 13
Memo to Southern Indiana schools: You are better off to just let them win every year. See what happens when you honk them off?
Jennings County 25, Greensburg 9
Wai-wai-wait. Jennings County won AND scored more than 20 points on the same night? The Chicago Cubs will now win 27 games in a row, make the playoffs, win the World Series, and lower ticket prices. Hey, c’mon – the odds are relatively the same.
Sullivan 13, Linton 6
Oh, seriously. This has to be an episode of “America’s Best Practical Jokes and Bloopers.”
