INDIANAPOLIS, IN. — Traditionally I’m fired up about the so-called drawings/pairings for the IHSAA state football playoffs. Instead of seeding the stupid thing they continue to run game on boyz by flip flopping the best teams in the state which are traditionally those in the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference better known as the M.I.C. It’s always been a set up to try to get rid of the best teams in the state the first. Last year No.1 Ben Davis was clearly the best team breathing but No.2 Warren Central should have at least been playing them for the Class 6A title instead of Penn who got the brakes beaten off of them.
Fortunately, for the IHSAA this year it doesn’t make a bit of difference what they do with the drawings/pairings because No.1 Warren Central better known in these football streets as DubZilla the three headed monster is clearly the best team walking and No.4 Carmel is the second best but it’s not even close. These two teams should meet again for the Class 6A state title in November.
Just in case you’ve been sleeping under a rock all football season DubZilla is the three headed monster that’s eating everything in it’s path. Quarterback Jayden George “The Incredible” has hit ‘um up for 2,019 yards and 29 touchdowns. Running back Romeir Elliott better known in these football streets as Secretariat from THE FAR EAST SIDE has run wild this year putting up 1,473 yards and 21 TD’s. Last but never least The Incomparable David Bell has amazed crowds by doing it all. He returns kickoffs and punts, plays wide receiver and corner putting up 1,128 receiving yards and 17 TD’s. There’s nothing you can do with them.
However, I still think that it’s foul that teams like North Central won’t get as far as they should in the playoffs because they’ll eventually have to run up on DubZilla earlier than they need to if it were seeded. However, the fact that Warren Central and Carmel are so much better than everybody else in Class 6A I’m not going to trip as hard this year.
We saw a preview of the state title game this past Friday with DubZilla finally breaking down Carmel better known out here as the BEAST after an excellent football game for three quarters. Like I said in the Crazy Hot Joint entitled “DubZilla Eats Again!” the final score of 41-17 was in no way indicative of the battle that took place on THE FAR EAST SIDE. Now don’t get it twisted, Warren Central was clearly the best team on the field but Carmel’s defense is a straight up BEAST. They held on to the end of the rope for as long as they could by keeping it close through three quarters.
It was 24-17 with just over 3 minutes left in the third quarter before the top blew off. Three late interceptions completely took the wheels off of it for the Greyhounds. Their strategy was to try to keep “DubZilla” off of the field for as long as possible and methodically move the ball down the field. It worked in the first half for sure by only giving Warren Central four possessions but you knew that at some point the baby would burp and it would be off to the races.
So let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! The two best teams in the state are on a collision course for Lucas Oil Stadium Thanksgiving weekend and we could really skip all of the preliminaries and just play the re-match this week and get on with hoop season. As a matter of fact, we could literally just ship the trophy over to THE FAR EAST SIDE right now and call it lovely.
I know boyz are sick of Warren Central winning everything in 2018 but it is what it is playa. They’ve won both the Girls and Boys Class 4A State Championships in basketball and now they’ve got their eyes set on winning the Class 6A state title in football. Talk about straight DOMINANCE!!!
Unfortunately, for everybody else they’ve got to sit through and watch them destroy everybody in the process. Stop me when I start lyin’!
