Hammond Clark comes in to the Marian Sectional with a 3-2 record. Due to Covid, all Hammond City schools were not allowed to start their season until Sepetmeber 15th. They lost their two remaining regular season games to Hammond Morton 3-2 (who also have only played 5 games) and Bishop Noll (regular season record 12-2) by a score of 5-2. Since the first two losses, they have won every game in Sectionals. They defeated a very weak River Forest 12-0 (making River Forest winless for the season at zero wins and 12 losses), won 4-1 to Hammond High School and in the Sectional Finals defeated Griffith (10-3-1 overall) by the slimmest of margins, 2-1. The Hammond Clark MF #10 received a red card during the Sectional Final and should not be eligible tomorrow. It is hard to analyze a team after their entire season consists of 5 games or even by just watching the Sectional Final game (especially when the camera was focused too much on players with the ball and the entire field was not visible) but we did see enough to make sure certain NW players should be able to take advantage of the opponent's type of play and individual inabilities. Game time is 1 pm tomorrow at Mishawaka Marian. It will be very, very windy again tomorrow (20-30 mph and gusts to 40 !) so the wind might actually play a part in the game. The winner plays at 7 pm versus the South Bend St. Joe-West Lafayette winner. That game kicks off at 11 am. Our bus will leave at 11 am so we can catch part of the second half (hopefully they go in to triple OT). We will leave Marian after our first game and return home. With Covid in mind, we need everyone to take showers between games before we return to the school to go back to Marion for the Finals (all this with winning the first one in mind of course). It might be good to have a good snack between games. Make sure to dress warm for the game. By the way, it looks like the Chicago Bears might have stolen Hammond Clark's idea for their logo!!!
