Umbrella, Jacket/Sweater, Hat, Money for Hot Chocolate (Maybe in a Nice, Insulated Thermos), As Well As Chili!!

Few showers will arrive this evening with brisk winds from the west & cool temperatures from 48 in the north to 55 in the south.

Windchills will run 38-45…………………..the chilly showers will be passing events, by no means a steady rain.

Monday- Ben Murray Feature (Jeff)

Tuesday- Mackenzie Staton Feature (WL Girls Soccer)

Wednesday- Jeff Volleyball

Thursday- Tentatively a feature story on Bryce Kiser (RB, Pioneer)

Friday- Frenzy!

Take the jacket or a sweater to the games…………with the bone-dry air bleeding in from the northeast, the temperatures will crash after sunset.

West Side was impressive tonight in their 9-1 win over McCutcheon.  West Lafayette lost in Sectionals last year and they appear to be on a mission to make it as far as they can this year.  They certainly have the talent to do it.

Can I say first of all that these guys are hilarious.  Between their jokes and commentary, whenever they spoke everyone was laughing.   We all had a great time golfing and team WLFI shot a respectable 9 under.  16 under won.  But, the real winners are the the children at the YMCA.  On the scond hole you can donate 20 dollars to the YMCA and tee off from the women’s tees.  The catch was you had to wear a skirt.  We did it all in good fun, but for the sake of all of us in our group, hopefully these pictures don’t get out.   (I hope you’re laughing out loud)

This Evening:

Some Clouds in Places, Hazy with a Colorful, Bronzy, then Orange Sunset Due to Dirty Air & the Sun Reflecting Those Particulates/Pollution & Some Smoke from the California Fires Arriving.

There Will Be High Pollen & Bad Air Quality This Evening, So Beware That You May Need Your Allergy Medicine, If You Are Sensitive At The Games.

Some Shallow Fog Patches are Possible by 10 p.m.

Wednesday we’ll have the story about Kelly and Molly King.  Molly is a Junior on the CC volleyball team and her sister Kelly is an assistant coach.  She’s also an assistant coach on the basketball and softball team Molly plays on.  Tune in on Wednesday at 6 and 11 to see that story.

1.  CC reassures how good they are.  Enough said?  This team is on a mission this year.

2. Pioneer could be on their way.  What an impressive shut out win over Winamac.  Could we really see the South Newton/Pioneer match-up coming up in week three, be potentially for the conference championship?  Did I also mention Sectional 34 has these two teams and CC this year?

3. West side guts out a win, but Cass is really good too.  The Kings will be back.  Even in defeat they proved how good they still are.  West side pulled out the win, but it wasn’t as impressive as week one.

4. Harrison plays like the team we thought they were.  Not to make excuses for Jeff, but when you have the types of injuries they have, it is tough to overcome.

5. I’m keeping my eyes on North Montgomery.  They lost some players from last year, they returned some good players.  Can they repeat last season’s great year?

Here are some thoughts about some teams after week 1.

1. Is Fountain Central a team to look out for this season?  Their team played well yesterday defeating Southmont.  They have a new QB and they essentially have 3 head coaches on the team (Rick Malone, Brian Moore, and Brad Smith).

2. Can West side be as good as last year?  I didn’t see their game vs. Crawfordsville being that easy.  I think we all knew they are going to be good (ranked number 4) but they reinforced how good they really are last night.

3. How will Cass repsond?  They lost a close game to Pioneer and next week they go to West side.  The Kings have a very talented team, despite losing some key players.  Cass vs. WL is a game to watch next week since the Kings will be fired up coming off a loss.  But do we really expect the Red Devils to have a let down after a big win?

4. Pioneer is really good.  I know a vague statement.  They beat Cass 21-14 last night.  Pioneer has a huge test against Winamac next week.  If you saw the Frenzy previews, you know Winamac has that game marked on their calendar.  The in week 3 they play South Newton.  We will find out real fast how good they truly are.  Not to look ahead but Pioneer, South Newton and CC are all in the same sectional.  That sectional could filter out a state champion.

5.  Central Catholic is extremely talented.  The (probably) soon to be ranked number one Knights need to play their game and not worry about rankings if thay are going to contend for a state title and we know Kevin O’Shea won’t allow them to get overconfident.
