I guess they are starting at 6:00 pm this Friday night bc NP is an hour ahead so they were going by 7:00 pm being their time--which is 6:00 pm our time in Michigan City

New Prairie Schools are on Central time since they are a La Porte county school, FYI.

I don't know about this year, but they have always started this scrimmage early in the past. I got caught by that a few years back myself.

I'm looking forward to seeing the team this year. I am curious what the defense looks like, and if we can get a running game going this year.

I am excited to see if the seniors can pull together like they did previously. They have the most wins under their belt from previous years and still have their key players. The senior class number is 24 if I figured correctly. The last class that the the team with this number was 2 years ago but they didn't produce the numbers like this group of players. I have heard that there are many of these players that have colleges showing interest in them as well, which is great. I hope many of the fans come out to support the team and give them a chance. Last year they may not have had the "W's" but they were in every game for all 4 quarters. The Chesterton game which was played away- they actually held them 0-0 for more than a quarter then Chesterton came back after the half with an adjusted game plan and our guys tired. I have heard that the team is well conditioned and ready to play. Plus they have to remember to not allow room for the officials to take away what they have earned. Over all, each year under Coach Karpinski the team has showed improvement. A true sports person looks at more than just the outcome at the end. Unfortunately they will have to win a DAC game before MC will take notice because that was what happened 4 years with Coach Busea. You win 1 DAC game and the stands will be full. So I wish the best for this team and may your friday night lights shine on you with wins. Fill those stands guys and make this a memorable season for you, the coaches and the city. GO WOLVES!!!

The scrimmage wasn't bad. The first defensive series where both teams started from their own 30, was pretty bad as NP just shredded the defense, but then the D really stiffened up as the night went on. I couldn't tell if it was scheme related where the D took a bit to figure it out, or if their heads weren't in it at the beginning.

The offense looked OK in their first series. The running game might be spotty again as the backs are both small, but the passing game should carry them. They moved the ball well for the first half of their series, and it kind of stalled. Kaletha and Wilson are going to be hard to stop, as is Ryan Washington if he gets time.

The offense scored 4 times in 10 plays on the drill inside the 10 yards line, and looked really good doing it. The defense also looked really good in that series, only giving up two scores in that same run.

Word is that Sr. WR Donnie Wilson is out with a leg injury that he is cleared to play on, but that he has made the choice to not practice at all because he is still sore. This will be a very interesting situation. Hopefully he gets healthy.
Southsider2k12
I am always of the opinion that a guy who is a veteran player doesn't need risk tweeking a minor injury in a glorified practice. If he is still sore, I'd even be fine with his sitting out the Gary game to help the pain go away. He isn't really needed until week 2 against Washington.

I hope you are right about this but I have my doubts. I guess I don't remember last year as well as you do but didn't the team barely score last year against Washington, Chesterton(twice), Valpo, LaPorte, Portage and Crown Point? They better be in shape and avoid injuries if they want to be competitive. Thank God the Chesterton coach left so maybe now they will not be able to come out at halftime with an adjusted gameplan. I hope the Wolves run the ball 50 times against Gary and not let any secret plays get out so others can scout. I wouldn't throw once. We don't want to expose any of the big three to injuries in a glorified practice against an undermanned Roosevelt team. The conference is weak this year and the Wolves should be able to feast against the 5A sectional competition. I am going to go out on a limb and say 7-2 or 8-1 in the regular season with a sectional and regional crown. I think the Wolves fall in the semi-state game at Ames Field before a packed house to Ft. Wayne Snider 49-42 in OT. This is the year we have all been waiting for MC Football fans, the Pop Warner program bears it fruit this season and Coach Karp rights the ship from this point on. 2014 the Wolves will be heavy favorites to bring home the state trophy. Mark it down!!!!!

This is the first time in the 20 years that I've lived here that I purchased a fall sports pass.

I will be following the freshmen team all season long both home and away and might come out and take in a few home varsity games on Friday night.

The freshmen team opens their season at New Prairie Saturday morning at 9AM then play the rest of their games on Thursday nights beginning September 5th.

I can understand the optimism, the kids at the high school now and in 8th grade are a group that has dominated in Pop Warner. They have won state championships and National Titles. No real reason to expect anything less than continued sucess. Good coaches + good facilities + great players = Wins!!!!

Let my edit my comment and say QUALITY big guys. There are definitely heavy guys but I know that the line on both sides of the ball is an injury away from an issue. Please dont take my comments as I do not believe we can win. This year is going to be awesome, but the JV line is not very good and needs a good offseason. It is imperative that the bar gets set high this year. I think this class can set the bar as high as they want to. GO WOLVES

I would not be surprised if some of those freshman get called up. The JV is very thin do to a lack of sophomore football players. The other thing is that Although the first string varsity is good, that is about as far deep as it gets. That is the only thing with MC football this year is the are only at 60 kids for JV and Varsity with 24 being seniors. The other thing that sometimes can not correlate from pop warner is the size of kids. MC always lacks pure overall size on the line. Strength they are always fine. I think they got third at the region weight lifting competition, But pure size will determine MC footballs future.


The big difference is that high school football doesn't allow for older and lighters, and doesn't have weight limits. Pop Warner is a completely different game that caters to the type of players City historically develops. We'd be great if guys like Ficks and Harmon could come back for 5th years.

This group should be better than last year, though the defense still scares me. I am calling a 3-6 or 4-5 team this year. Sectionals all depends on match ups. As long as we avoid Mishawaka, we could win games.

I don't understand what is meant by QUALITY big guys? I think every child who happens to come out for a demanding sport like football, conditions as hard as everyone says they are and has been coached by this staff for 2 or 3 seasons has to be a QUALITY kid. That list contains 13 juniors and seniors that are huge. QUALITY overfills the cup my friend. A small army could hide behind guys that are 6'4" 300 lbs. Go CITY!!!

There is a huge difference between 6'4'' 300 that has been in the weight room and 6'4'' 300 that has not. But either way you can think what you want. I hope that I get to watch an awesome season.

This series needs to be dropped from the Wolves schedule. Playing against teams like Gary Roosevelt are fine if you are just looking for wins or want to maintain a constant home series but the whole program suffers because it's not really a challenge for the varsity, plus there are no JV or Freshman games.

That's the thing, we really never know how good the team is going to be until they play their first competitive game against South Bend Washington. The Panthers are only two years removed from being a 4A state finalist and similar to Michigan City has a great football tradition, it's a really nice school, they don't call themselves this Pride of the West Side for nothing.

I will have to watch Friday's game when it's posted on the ALCO site. I'll be in Three Oaks, MI taking in the La Lumiere VS. River Valley Mustangs game but will be at Ames Field next Thursday for the Freshmen game against the Panthers, Friday for the DAC opener VS. Chesterton, in Elkhart on Saturday for the La Lumiere game then in Lowell on Sunday for a couple Pop Warner games.

I wasn't getting too excited yet over the Velt win, just stating what the polls said. There is by the way only 34 teams in 5A and 19 of them received some votes. That is not a resounding confirmation of greatness yet. By the way Tax what is going on at LaLumiere these days. I thought I read in the preview section that still more MC football youth jumped ship for other opportunities.

Just imagine if MCHS could keep all the local talent home. I see MC kids playing in LaPorte, New Prairie, LaLumiere, South Central, Hobart, Culver and Chesterton. The MC team might not be any better with these departures but they could have some inner competition. Now there is an investigative story that could be looked into by the paper. Why do all these kids leave? Not just in football but basketball and other sports too.

Next reclassification the IHSAA needs to tweak the format somewhat and make 6A 32 teams, 1A the (32 + x) team overflow class and 5A, 4A, 3A and 2A 64 teams.

There are a couple of boys that are going to Marquette on the voucher system and playing football at La Lumiere. They are coming out to our games and we are going out to their games and I'm going along for the ride. I doubt that it will amount to much of anything,the Lakers only play a seven game schedule with no playoff system and I doubt they will make much of an impact as freshmen playing on a varsity team.

High school football: D-I prospect Morgan transfers from Washington to Riley.

March 14, 2013|By AL LESAR | South Bend Tribune

SOUTH BEND — Whether it was a belated Christmas gift or an early Valentine’s present didn’t matter.

All that was important was that Brian Stultz finally found out how the other half of the high school football coaching world feels.

Prospective Division I football players normally don’t transfer into Riley High School.

The door usually swings the other way.

On Feb. 7, the door finally swung Riley’s way — and in walked Daigien Morgan.

The 6-foot, 185-pound Morgan, who was the quarterback during Washington’s run to the Class 4-A state championship game two years ago, introduced himself to Riley athletic director Walt Ballard and Stultz, asking for an opportunity with the Wildcats.

Once they got over the initial shock, they both welcomed Morgan with open arms.

“I wouldn’t have known Daigien from Adam,” said Ballard.

Likewise, Stultz had never met Morgan before he walked through the athletic office door.

The last Stultz saw of Morgan was the back of his jersey after he scooped up a fumble and returned it 95 yards late in the fourth quarter to turn what appeared to be a Riley sectional victory into a stunning Washington recovery.

“Once I found out who he was, the first thing I told him was that I hated him,” said Ballard, able to laugh about the tough defeat now. “Daigien is such a good kid. Everyone here felt he was coming for the right reason.”

Morgan, through his mother, declined an interview for this story. All involved said leaving Washington was a tough decision.

According to South Bend Community School Corp., athletic director Kirby Whitacre, Morgan’s mother’s economic situation improved to the point where she could relocate to a neighborhood within walking distance of Riley.

“The transfer process was followed,” Whitacre said. “There was an authenticated change of address.

“The young man and his family moved for a better living situation. Sports was a secondary consideration, if it was any consideration at all.”

As long as there was a verified change of address, the IHSAA has no mandate for an athletic release from Washington.

It’s not like Morgan is coming to an offense better suited for his talents.

At Washington, Morgan had flourished in the wide-open spread attack used by coach Antwon Jones two years ago, and Jay Johnson last year. He piled up big passing numbers — 316-of-575, 5,563 yards and 58 touchdowns, with 28 interceptions — over those two seasons.

“Our offense has been based on the run,” said Stultz, who has ridden the legs of Mike Anderson and Thomas Capers into battle recently.

Needless to say, the playbook might take some tinkering.

After an 11-4 record during the journey to Indianapolis, Washington was 3-9 last year. Riley was 1-9. However, if it weren’t for Morgan’s fumble return, the Wildcats could have survived. Two weeks down the road, the Panthers took Mishawaka to the limit before the Cavemen emerged with the sectional title. That spurred Mishawaka to a berth in the Class 4-A state championship game a few weeks later.

“We aren’t that far away,” said Ballard. “I believe we have a great program. But if a young man comes here for athletics, that’s a mistake. If he comes here to be made a better person, that’s the right decision.”

According to Ballard, academics aren’t an issue for Morgan. A solid student, he has blended in from Washington’s trimester schedule to Riley’s semester.

Athletically, he spent one week in football conditioning, then began track practice. He is expected to run sprints and compete in the high jump this spring.

Morgan has had a good deal of interest from NCAA Division I schools. Despite his gaudy offensive numbers, Stultz said his best shot at big-time college football could be in the defensive secondary.

Stultz said Morgan has his own schedule of exposure events he will attend this summer to help in the recruiting process.

A few notes from last night. The Wolves scored the most points they have ever scored against a non-Gary Roosevelt team in school history with the 57. The previous high was 49 in 2005 against Chesterton. they also broke their record for most points scored over two games combined with 112 points. Their previous high was 101 in their first two games of 2004.

It end up being beautiful football weather once the storm rolled through. Unfortunately a lot of fans missed an exciting game. I think this next Fridays game against Chesterton will be exciting but close. The seniors beat them freshman year at home and sophomore year away in 90 degree heat. I had never seen such long faces by an opponent as there was that day. They thought City was going to be an easy win but the wolves proved them wrong. The Wolves are hungry and they are going to stay unsatisfied until sectional time. These players have a lot of potential with a lot of talent. It just takes finding the right combination. SB QB situation may have been a factor in our advantage but the QB they had was pretty good. It was difficult to tell if their linemen were that weak or our Wolves were that exceptional. I'd like to feel our guys were executing well and giving them the power. The proof will come as they enter DAC play this Friday. I'm choosing Wolves to finish on top. Go Wolves !!!

Munster - Chesterton game has been rescheduled for Monday at 6PM that mean that the Trojans will be playing City on Friday night only on three days rest.

I am sure if city wins this game you will say that this is the reason why. To me it looks like the kids have put in some work. Even if SB wash is down and gary is gary these kids rolled through both of these very easily. I find it funny that you keep giving reasons why MC is winning and not that they were just the better team or that worked hard in the off season. They will have issues in the DAC that they have not faced yet, but to me they seem improved as a team.

The team is improved, there is no doubt about that. But the season gets a lot tougher the next four weeks.

Congratulations go out to the young Wolves!! They are receiving 23 votes in the latest IFCA Poll and are now ranked 7th in 5A. I have to believe this is the highest ranking for a MC team in decades.

Not to mention that the reigining co-DAC champs graduated 36 seniors and made a head coaching change.

I think either way we learn more from this game than we did from the last two.

Oh yea I forgot about that...hmm did not stop them from stepping on Munsters toes. This town is always so negative on everything. I mean for christ sakes, these kids lose and you will say "here we go again" and then pick apart the reasons why they are losing from behind a keyboard. And if they win you pick apart the reasons why the other team lost the game, NOT why MC won the game..... MC might win on Friday, they might also lose. Either way this team is headed in the right direction.

I don't think taking a critical look at the team is an awful thing. There is no doubt that Roosevelt is an awful, awful team, and the results are hard to read into.

Washington has been a really good team in recent history, but after losing Morgan, plus a lot of graduates, and realizing that they lost their first game to Concord 42-6, that Washington might be a pretty bad team too.

Chesterton lost their first game to a really, really good football team on a very late TD. They absolutely plastered Munster. I know they graduated a lot, and had a coaching change, but this team on the scoresheet looks to be a lot better than either GR or SBW. If they win this game, the DAC better get scared, because City is for real. If they beat the Trojans, there is a chance they go into homecoming undefeated.

Munster and Chesterton are both good teams but they are can be beat. For that matter the Wolves should be able to hang with any team in the conference and sectional this year. They may not beat them but they can give each of them a game if they stay healthy.
