I did not see the Merrillville/CP game, only the final score. Did Merrillville force CP to be 1 dimensional?
Only source I found said Ellison rushed for over 100 against Merrillville so I'm gonna go with... NO. Lol

Ellison did rush for over 100 for the game. But no excuses he did that against backups. If you watch and actually know anyone from merrillville we knew that entire week. Seniors were going in to start 2nd on defense and would play almost the whole 2nd.
It was senior night as much as you may not believe me. Merrillville had no intention of playing that game except in the 1st and 4th qtr.
And even crown point coach said we moved through there defense like butter.
But I stand by what I said. Merrillville has the top defense in DAC. You will see it when they are the only DAC team standing after regionals
I don’t necessarily disagree with much of what you say above. I believe Merrillville is the better team talent wise. Excellent defense. Valpo has the coaching edge.
My issue with Merrillville is they always disappoint. So much talent and don’t really have much to show for it. Is it coaching? Is it the culture of this team and overall program? I don’t know but I always end the year scratching my head why they don’t perform better in big games.

This is absolutely not even close to the truth. The same defensive kids that started the game played every snap. It was the Pirates Senior Night, but they played with the same starting line up against Crown Point that they did against Andrean and Hobart.

This is one of the most nonsensical things I've ever read on this message board, and that is saying something. "No excuses", followed by nothing but a giant excuse. Are you really suggesting that Merrillville benched half the team for two quarters, in a conference game, against the 2x defending conference champ who hasn't lost a regular season game in over two years and just went to the 6A title game the year before, who also happens to be a rival? And you...think this, if true, somehow makes Merrillville and their coaching staff look good?
"Moved through them like butter". Sure, Jan. The Ville got their butts whipped, it happens. The excuse making is just laughable. I won't even make an argument as to who has the "best defense in the DAC", but a great defense doesn't give up 46 points and get running clocked.

This is probably one of my favorite responses on here, ever. Lol

Key word is starting lineup. It was 13-7
Check the 2nd qtr. seniors in on defense.
