DAC Semi-State Championship Predictions
Crown Point 24 Westfield 17
Merrillville 34 Warsaw 24

Week 13 Predictions
Crown Point 31 Fort Wayne Carroll 17 - Pretty close to spot on here. Crown Point gave up a few scores and had a little trouble slowing down the air attack at times. But they got themselves a late pick 6 and did nice job defending the pass overall. I think CP is ready to head to Lucas Oil, again, with a much better chance to win it.
Valparaiso 21 Merrillville 20 - Obviously a wild prediction. Figured if the Pirates choked, it would be here. I think the Pirates are headed to Lucas Oil...
1A - North Judson 42 Taylor 14 - No way would I have predicted 70-6...
2A - Andrean 17 Lafayette Central Catholic 13 - The Niners could've won this one by 17+ but instead they wanted to make me look really smart. Lol
3A - Garrett 27 Knox 21 - WHAT A GAME! 1 Point victory for the Railroaders over the legendary Russ Radtke.
4A - Mishawaka 28 New Prairie 13 - I had the margin of victory almost perfect. Lol Mishawaka moves on to face East Noble with a crack at Lucas Oil.

Is Judson just on another level this year? Is there anyone in the class that can hang with them?

Sagarin has them at 20 point favorites vs South Adams and 8-11 point favorites over the two teams left in the South. So as of now, I'm gonna roll with yes, they are on another level. No, I don't think anyone can hang with them.

Gotcha. So it is kind of like you and I as posters around here compared to everyone else.

The Sr. NJSP FB players, that also play BB, will play in 5 semi states after this Friday (4 FB/1 BB). That is very impressive.

Wow that is impressive. Somehow I have not realized that NJ was in that many semistates in a row.

It really is. The last 3 years Semi-States were against Adams Central (2 at home, 1 at AC), who happens to be in the 2A SS vs. Andrean.
Best wishes to all teams still playing.

Really impressive feat by North Judson. Looking forward to them, Andrean, Merrillville, and Crown Point battling it out for a chance to play at Lucas Oil for a State Championship. Going to be a fun Friday of games!

I'm taking Warsaw. This is the time of the year Merrillville folds up their tent and goes home for the season.
