Could tonight be the night .... Will BA fall to a Williamson Co team? Why is it that Franklin had to play McCallie next week instead of BA.

 

One day .... One day FHS will get their shot at the Granny White Wonders!!!!

 

LOL.... Granny White Wonders!?? Not sure I've heard of that one. Has Franklin not played BA before? I find that hard to believe....

 

 

whats the record BA has? i forgot exactly what it was. Are they undefeated in the county?

Fairview beat BA way back in the day, but I think the win streak is something like 35 years now. Kind of surprising, really.

Because BA plays Ravenwood next week. BA is gonna beat Indy silly so be prepared for a thrashing.

i'll be at the game

i'll be pulling for indy or any team that goes up against BA but realistically i don't see how indy will pull it off

BA has never lost to a county team. Go to hsfdatabase.com.

 

I ended up making the trip and sacrificing a week's worth of meal money in the process, only for it to rain for the first time since what seems like 1996.

BA up 21-7 at half. BA started out dominating the game, but they are completely one-dimensional. The QB situation is very shaky...Indy stacking the box and protecting against the run was fairly effective, though Jordan did have 146 yards in the first half alone.

 

The drive before half for BA was huge. Indy offense is sputtering and it's obvious to me that Pettigrew isn't anywhere close to 100% and I have no idea why his long-term health is being risked in a non-region game. Even if he is 100%, he's rusty. It's hard though because 60% Pettigrew is better than putting Consiglio back there considering that he'd be going both ways in 102 degree heat. The kid's a great player and he'd do fine, but you need him on defense in the 4th quarter. Meeker will be good eventually but right now he's too young so it's extremely difficult to decide as a coach.

 

Of course, since the kids aren't playing 4 quarters tomorrow (or tonight, whichever you prefer), that fatigue stuff gets thrown out the window in a way.

 

Also, the players will certainly be sore from the half they played...will this play a factor at all?

 

Indy passing offense was extremely anemic. Baugh needs more touches! How many times do I have to say that? Cordell's vision seemed to be lacking tonight...he did a decent job escaping pressure and several of his incompletions were just throwing the ball away, but he focused only on throws to his left.

 

I think BA gets the opening kick after everything resumes tomorrow night. We'll see what halftime adjustments the coaches have in store. They've certainly had enough time to think about it.

Yikes! What sort of numbers would it take for a defensive scheme to qualify as "leaky and inefffective"?

From BA's own football guide...Fairview 24, BA 3 in 1970. Anyways, hasn't happened for a long time.

 

I was thinking the same thing about the "fairly effective" run defense. Jordan averaged over 8 yards per carry!

BA and Franklin have played 8 times. BA leads the series 8-0. Composite score is 300-69.

With all due respect, the Indy line was getting destroyed by the BA line. There was not a lot Pettigrew could do. Cordell's vision was lacking due to lack of time. Also, one dimension seemed plenty. The only thing that stopped a BA rout, were lots of penalties, turnovers and a perfectly thrown TD pass and catch by Indy.

From BA's own football guide...Fairview 24, BA 3 in 1970. Anyways, hasn't happened for a long time.

 

itzme, the media guide I was sent a couple of years ago showed BA as being 1-0-2 in 1970, with five other games with an asterisk being against non-varsity competition. It also showed BA as 2-0-0 all-time versus Fairview in the All-Time Versus Opponents section.

 

If those five games (in which BA went 2-3-0) do count, if someone will let me know, I'll change it on the site. While I'm not 100% sure, it seems like Flatt's record, when announced/written in the media, excluded those five games.

[donathan5507]

There's no doubt Jordan ran all over them, especially on the first two series. However, on the second and third series, Indy buckled down and stopped BA and actually forced punts, including one snap that went over the punters' head...great play by that kid by the way. I thought that the defensive sets on those drives were fairly effective.

 

BA played extremely sloppy football last night. Let's hope--for their sake--that they tone down the penalties as the season progresses.

seems to me that Cordell thought the ground was an eligible reciever
