I thought Elk Grove had a great chance of beating Indy this year. I chose them in pick'em early but changed my pick at the last minute. Still believe coach Heff will eventually figure Indy's winning philosophy out soon. Also had Rocklin to beat Antelope but change pick to Antelope at the last minute as well, damn!

*Does anyone have info on poster DanKings??? Shocked to see he hasn't been speaking on his Vacaville team and not playing Pick'em. I'm a lil concerned.

@FootballJunkie101 you were on the right thought process. Don’t have a pony in the race but I’ll first say that was the worst officiated game I have seen in all my life of watching high school football. With that said EG was down 28-12 late 3rd and came back to take the lead 32-28 with about 3-4 minutes left . As they had done all night Indy answered with a 3rd and long from inside their own side of the field. EG Down 2 scores most of night and every time EG scores to give hope Indy came right back on kickoff or first play from scrimmage with a long run . They kept drive going and on another 3rd down the runner was falling as EG tackler came in . The tackler essentially made the tackle with his back and ref from opposite side threw a flag for helmet to helmet . Wasn’t even close . It gave Indy first and goal. They scored PAT blocked and 34-32 Indy with a minute and change left . Eg took kickoff to about 40. Moved ball to 1st and goal at 5 with 20 seconds and timeouts. Fumbled and game over. If anything to be learned don’t chase missed PAT. EG missed first one then went for 2 next 2 td’s . In the first half EG also gang tackled an Indy runner and EG linebacker tried to punch the ball out. They threw a flag 15 yards and ejection saying he “Threw a punch” Knew the night would be long after that

Yeap H.E.A.T that game last year was closer than people think @ Indy's house. I believe Elk Grove had like 3 turnovers in that game to Indy's zero. That said, Elk Grove also brought a few more players back this year. The thing that made me go with Indy at the last minute was the fact of their JV team beating Elk Grove last year. I let that be the last determining factor to go with Indy since I believed this would be a toss up type game.

Why you think I picked them in Pick'em. Though both teams are young. I just had a feeling the lil strawchewers were going to handle their bidness in Eureka. And they did, thank God! Congrats championcif75 and good to see you here giving us the low down on the lil strawchewers.

Maybe 5-6 turnovers and 200 yds penalties this game

Didn't find out to this evening....I guess Jared Gibson broker his leg in pre-season which is awful because he's a great kid with amazing parents. He'll make the best of his situation at Sac St.
