Glad this family was able to make this personal decision to benefit their son. That's the way it should be. Now I'm going to shuffle off to a 2A thread to avoid that whiny Sheridan announcer complain that benefits like this should keep parochial schools out of 1A.

The IRONY of it all.....to read his apology it was behind a paywall....... I read his apology, made no reference to the actual main issue, NOT THE HEART gesture....nope it was the ole "do that back to me, we will be just fine". line was the absolutely brutal.....then half the room laughed....equally vomit worthy.....

I actually heard that, upon the announcement that Faith Christian was going to go to 11-man this season, some 20-25 players from the LCC football team became Baptists and will be attending Faith in the fall. Lord, I apologize for that there.

Last year he had sons playing for Lake Central and Portage. Guy needs to stick with one story and ride it out.

And? I could never imagine feeling the need to point out a grammatical error in a message board post. You be you guy.

So they recruit

Doyel has carried the woke flag on numerous occasions. Shouldn't he play by the rules he lives by?

To be fair, It is not Fort Wayne Wayne, it is just Wayne. Example, it is not Fort Wayne Snider or Fort Wayne Luers or Fort Wayne Dwenger either

With the recent seeding proposal shot down quicker than ...well I can't come up with anything "catchy" - but anyway, with it being shot down it got me wondering. The NFL/NBA commissioner has to answer to the owners of the league. Who does the IHSAA "brass/higher ups/executive committees" quote/unquote have to "answer to??" Like...who hires these positions? And...who/do they have bosses to answer to? The IFCA presents a proposal for seeding...the IHSAA just says "NOPE"...and that is it?? The IHSAA decides they are going to do this new 1A-4A classification thing for non-football sports...and they viola - it happens! Meanwhile, their is a big contingent that thinks it would be a better idea in football to have the biggest 32 in 6A...smallest 32 in 1A, then rest split evenly...but the IHSSA says - NOPE!! I will admit I am ignorant on the whole deal so there may be an easy answer to this...but sometimes it just seems to me like the IHSAA higher ups are like the almighty OZ.

Hopefully a PUBLIC school emerges... Lord, I DON'T apologize for anything.

Oh well in that case - yes we can carry on and talk about how good the Tigers are 😄

You guys also seem to be under the impression that principals give two shits about seeding. Certainly some do, but for the masses, nobody cares. And make no mistake it is the principals who pull the weight, not the AD’s.

I am not even talking about "HIS" rankings. I am talking about "HIM" posing as a mother of football players.

https://fox59.com/indiana-news/lafayette-elementary-school-to-become-first-in-indiana-with-a-4-day-week/ Hmm. I assume teachers and administrators will still make their full salary as if they were teaching 5 days a week, and now they even get more time off during the calendar year. And support staff that gets paid hourly, like custodians and cafeteria workers, will make less. Nice. And the real losers will be the children. The dumbing down of the government school system. Maybe this will make more parents decide to home school their children.

I don't think he'll ever live this down, so that's enough for me. I have no control over what other entities might do, such as his employer or the Indiana Fever. Honestly it wouldn't bother me if the entire Indystar empire ceased to exist. It was the most toxic work environment I've ever seen.

No one in my mind has been more woke than Doyel over the years, especially going beyond sports to dive at political issues such as covid vaccines, (picking on certain athletes while letting others off the hook) civil war monuments, gun control, etc. Hard to earn much empathy from the local reader base when they have read his countless attacks over the years in the Star and on social media. His apologies through the Star and social media....many not sure they are sincere. Live by the sword...die by the sword.....

This must have been bingo night.

Big news for the Bulldogs. Congrats, Bosse! https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/04/19/bosses-enlow-field-will-be-upgraded-with-new-turf-field-stadium-roof/73278322007/

I get it, but when you go to Snider High School, it does not say Fort Wayne Snider at the entrance.

I would say Howard County has multiple high schools (throw Eastern (Greentown) in there as well), not the city of Kokomo. Although Taylor is close. Residents of the Northwestern and Western school districts want nothing to with the city itself, other than a job a Chrysler/Stellantis transmission plant. The city of Kokomo did once have two high schools. Haworth High school was open from 1968 to 1984, and the current Kokomo high school building on the southwest side was originally the Haworth building. IIRC Haworth had it's own sport facilities except for basketball where both schools shared historic Memorial gymnasium, a decision that rankled a lot of Kokomo fans at the time.

Hoe confident you feeling this year I'll take indy and u can have everyone else and 19 points

arguing about the duties of the IT guy this place has reached a new low

Hall of Fame Coach Mike Spencer who coached at Perry Central, Tell City and Corydon Central passed yesterday. I personally did not know Coach Spencer, but this is a blow to the coaching community in southern Indiana. While he was retired, he was still around the game and Corydon Central athletics. I know many people who had wonderful things to say about him. He will be missed by us, and I am sure by those in Perry County as well. Condolences to his family and friends. I know this was on the main page, but this affects the MSC and PLAC specifically.

Your ignorance of IT shows, Chief. Go back to your Hamilton county compound an let the educated adults talk.

Currently on the Region Sports board he's on one thread posing as three different people having conversations with himself.

Man, this is some great stuff right here. Mental illness on full display.

Yes, it did. Yes, IMHO it does. Doesn't make him any less of a jerk sometimes, though. Wait, so we lefties are now a protected class? When did that happen?

Open enrowment doesn’t guarantee athletic eligibility. I swear to God it doesn’t. STATE LAW

I am still waiting on Doyel's apology/retraction article for claiming fans at the Indianapolis 500 would be the most irresponsible thing ever, that there is no way that college football could be played safely in 2020, that JJ McCarty was unworthy of anyone's Heisman vote and that Carson Wentz was the most selfish person on the planet. Dude is a fraud. But he is protected because he is a southpaw. A righty would have already been fired.

I know it was a very small dataset, but you could see in the scrimmage that Westfield was going to have trouble against Ben Davis. They could not keep BD's defensive line out of their offensive backfield.

It’s what Doyel has wanted for others for years…

Bruce was big, but he might have been the fifth back on the depth chart for that team. Post and Boehnlein were strong sturdy runners. T-West was, of course, the speed guy, and we had Tyler Iams and Frank Duong competing for reps, too. My recollection of that game is basically gone, but, I seem to remember Valpo making a goal line stand that you describe in regulation in the South end zone. They beat us in OT in the North end zone that year. Unfortunately, I've lost track of the highlight tapes from those years––so I can't verify anything. I'm much sharper when it comes to '02. Same thing happened that year except worse. We had at least three drives get killed inside Valpo's five. Same scenario as you described, except we ran all of the backs into stacked boxes in that game.

C’mon.

Greg Doyle doesn’t even spell his own name right.

Many are saying this.

we do not call Ritter here Indianapolis Ritter, normally i call it Cardinal Ritter, but usually just Ritter, in Fort Wayne, they dont say, oh i go to Fort Wayne Snider, its just Snider, or Wayne, or North, just labeling them as to where they might be for folks that arent from there. But i do get what you are saying, Fort Wayne Wayne is a bit redundant LOL

His Sister sent me a message tonight that the 4 schools Coach Spencer served as HC at turned on their lights tonight for him: Corydon Central Tell City Connersville and Perry Central

Good point. Then he should offer to resign from the Indianapolis Star, and then start a podcast.

Between you guys, AC, LCC, and Linton the 1A guys is about 3 of us now

Sheridan can sometimes benefit from being in Hamilton County and getting athletes from the larger surrounding schools.

ill give you 21.01 but i get to blacklist one team, and i dont have to choose until august

It really falls short in comparison to the atmosphere at other 3A playoff locations over the past few years. I've been to some poorly attended playoff games at Enlow. That said, during the Lindauer Combs era things really picked up.

Saying Fort Wayne ( what ever school it is) helps people know where said school is located. If you just Snider most people would have no clue where that is at.

They need to drink more beer, that will solve their differences…🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Penn was good that year. Missed opportunities are a tough pill to swallow. Homestead was also very good that year. Both teams would like a do over I'm sure.

I know, I just find it comical how people will go after him all the time.

He's right though, regardless of what anyone thinks. I would argue that it's fact, not opinion.

Multiple personality disorder is a real thing.
