Thoughts: This shootout is an early season opportunity for these teams to get quality matchups. Three of these teams, Avon, Terre Haute North, and Terre Haute South, are all in the same Sectional so it draws some intrigue in terms of how well they compete against each other.
In terms of quality of the teams, Terre Haute South and Ben Davis should both be really good this season as they are built more on upperclassmen and high-end talent. They matchup at 6:00 PM ET on that Saturday and should be the best game of the day. Avon could be really solid but will be asking some younger players to step into bigger roles. That could take place right away but with it being only a few weeks into the season I think there will still be questions heading into the season. Terre Haute North will be rebuilding quite a bit from a team that lost some solid seniors.
Overall, this should be a great early season test and if a team is going to be exposed or shine, that would likely happen in an environment like this.
