Julio Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 So let me get this right. During the regular season we can use the Team Issue balls unless the other team has Wilson, then we can use theirs. In Sectionals the Team Issue ball can still be used, again unless the other team has Wilson and we can use theirs. In Regionals and Semi State we have to use Wilson. At state, the IHSAA will provide us with game balls. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not provide that FB. Then the other team's Wilson GST will be used for the contest by BOTH teams. There is also no guarantee that YOU will have footballs rotated in, as you are at the whim of the team with the approved footballs to provide to you "additional" balls. A report will be submitted to the IHSAA office of the Team Issue FB situation....and that is that. Again. You can confirm this information with an email or call to Commissioner Faulkens.

From the IHSAA 2021-22 Fall Bulletin: Balls – Sectional – Each school is encouraged to use an official Wilson football (models 1003 GST, 1001 or 1005 with the NFHS authenticating mark). Regionals & Semi-States– Schools must use an official Wilson football as described above. The IHSAA will supply two (2) Wilson 1003 GST footballs. If either team desires to use another official Wilson ball (1001 or 1005 with the NFHS authenticating mark), they may do so, provided they furnish the ball. The IHSAA will supply all game balls at Lucas Oil Stadium. State Finals - IHSAA will provide all game balls. No school footballs will be used during State Finals games. There is nothing in this bulletin that supports your stance. And I have never coached in a game where our team did not use our own balls. Where is your support of your stance on game balls.

A bulletin is issued contradicting your statements and your reply is "contact the commissioner".

NPFB Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Let’s go back to the original question…….does ANYONE plan on using those footballs in a varsity game??? Hopefully you still have a few of last years left. I personally will take footballs out of the trophy case first. I’m sorry but they are not a good substitution for Wilson’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I NUMEROUS times suggested that you contact the Commissioner. Its funny that discussions like this are why officials are leaving the sport. Always have to get in that LAST and FINAL word to guarantee that you are correct. Thank goodness I have no games in the TRC anytime soon.

Thank goodness I have no games in the TRC anytime soon. Only worked sectional games and have never been told we had to throw out anything that isn't Wilson. The information shared from the bulletin is always how I've understood it. WIlsons are recommended but not required the first three rounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from_the_sidelines007 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Ok since $$$$ was brought up earlier, I did some research on the cost of the footballs in question. According to Team Issue, the cost of those with the NFHS stamp are selling for $84.99 with a variety of a colored football outline on the ball. Team Issue also sells a 'Youth' football for $69.99 The Wilson GST 'Game Ball' is selling for $109.95 on the Wilsom website. Wilson also had a couple additional balls on the website. A Wilson 'Game Football' with custom text is selling for $124.95 on the Wilson Website. A 'Prime' Wilson GST Football goes for $149.95 on the Wilson website. I am NOT a salesman. I am NOT here to pitch any product or sell any footballs. Just doing some further research on the subject at hand for general knowledge. as always, the game is better from_the_sidelines007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, those were the "cosmetic rejects" where the logos were misaligned or were otherwise just not aesthetically pleasing, but functionally fine. Still, I don't remember the regular GSTs being even close to that. Maybe 10 bucks more per (?) That said, I can't estimate a construction project anymore even if my life depended on it... suppliers won't even hold numbers more than 72 hours nowadays. I have no clue how contractors are bidding public projects and getting a good night's sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
