South Bend Tribune staff predicts IHSAA football regional championships
And then there were three. After last week’s sectional slate where seven South Bend Tribune coverage area teams competed for championships, only Penn , Concord and Northridge emerged victorious. The Kingsmen and Minutemen are back in the regional round for a second straight season, while the Raiders advanced past sectional play for the first time since 2022. All three of these squads are favored to capture regional crowns come Friday night, but does The Tribune’s staff agree?

With the two scheduled to play once again on Friday, Nov. 13, in the regional round, a podcast not affiliated with either school may have added some more fuel to the fire. According to a report from Kyle Neddenriep of the IndyStar, part of the USA TODAY Network, the two schools districts issued a joint statement on Wednesday, expressing “disappointment and frustration” following podcast clips that appeared earlier in the day.
