Consistency at the Top
The frontrunners held their ground, with East Central maintaining their stranglehold on the top spot. They continued their dominance with a 51-0 thrashing of South Dearborn. Evansville Reitz, Bloomington North, and Evansville Memorial all remained undefeated, solidifying their positions as top contenders.
The Big Shifts
One of the most talked-about results from the weekend was Gibson Southern’s nail-biting 31-28 victory over Heritage Hills. This significant win sees Gibson Southern climb up the rankings to 7th, pushing Heritage Hills down to 10th.
Another exciting matchup was between Batesville and Lawrenceburg. Batesville edged out a tight contest 26-23, subsequently leapfrogging several spots to 14th, while Lawrenceburg slid to 20th.
Blowouts and Defensive Walls
Bloomington South showed their offensive prowess, running riot against Southport with a 59-0 win, moving them to the 5th position. Vincennes Lincoln demonstrated their defensive quality, keeping Evansville Harrison scoreless in a 47-0 rout.
Evansville North’s defense was equally dominant, shutting out Evansville Mater Dei in a 30-0 victory.
Surprises and Underdogs
Seymour’s 41-20 win over previously unbeaten Brownstown Central was perhaps one of the most surprising outcomes of the week, which sees Brownstown Central barely holding onto their Top 25 status, sliding to the 25th position.
Triton Central and North Posey both secured crucial wins, boosting their chances of moving further up in the rankings as the season progresses.
So Vincennes Lincoln get’s a lot of credit for beating the worst team in the SIAC? Come on man.
