If two districts consolidate, they don't necessarily have to combine high schools. They could continue to operate both. They could combine resources and share AP instructors and other specialized positions.

Georgia did a test run of their new replay rules during the preseason kickoff games at Mercedes Benz stadium. The new rules will be in effect for state championship games this fall. Here is an article about the new rules. https://news.yahoo.com/ghsa-approves-instant-replay-high-151136365.html

Georgia banned all schools from playing IMG several years ago.

It is a significantly smaller field.

Maybe if the IHSAA approves 8 man football we will see quite a few new teams.

This is not a Frosh or JV score, but close enough. Vincennes 8th 27 Memorial 8th 14 Vincennes finishes at 9-1

It looks like Boonville and Mt Vernon may have PAC top dogs like GS, HH, and Southridge looking over their shoulders. This should be interesting. Also Tell City may enter into this conversation.

Nice video run down of SIAC contests. https://www.14news.com/sports/

All the tribes that lived in the Lafayette area had at one point attacked and slaughtered the tribes that were there before them. Warfare was endemic among Native American Tribes. So we should remove all tribal names from all places right?

Wood Memorial suspended football a couple of years ago after a hazing incident. They also suffered from low numbers. Has there been any talk about restarting the program?

Rogues, Rascals, or Rowdies.

How about how long does it normally take the IHSAA to evaluate proposals like this?

1.561 schools in 30 states play reduced-player football. So you think those schools all play a silly sport?

Look at Youtube 8 man football. There are a lot of videos including the Illinois 2019 championship game. There are also some very good instructional videos. There is generally a lot more scoring, usually games are in the 40, 50, 60 point range. It seems pretty entertaining to me. I think Indiana is behind the times as is par for the course.

I sure hope this is true.

I would love to hear some thoughts on the 8 man proposal. It basically states that any school under 300 students could opt for 8 man football. They would require at least 16 teams statewide to be able to do this. I wonder if this would prompt any small schools to start a football program. I know in SW Indiana there are several schools that don't currently play football. Some that come to mind are South Knox, Loogootee, Bloomfield, Shakamak, NE Dubois, White River Valley, Clay City, Orleans, and others. Also Wood Memorial suspended their team a couple of years ago. It seems like that most of these schools could get at least 15 or 16 boys to come out for varsity play. I know there are start up costs, but if there is a will to do it, it could happen.

It is very poorly done. It looks like to amateur created it.

I am always disappointed when I go to the IHSAA website. I have visited many state high school websites and I have to say ours is by far the worst. Go visit Kentucky and Illinois websites. Kentucky's is a 10 and Indiana's is a 2. It has been really bad forever. I wonder why they can't be bothered to create a new one. But then again it is the IHSAA.
