  1. I think Coach Sharpe had a great support staff. He didn't have to do a lot of AD work in season. I think anyone who is a head coach and AD will have their moves under the microscope now a days. Putting your coaching ahead of a soccer game is a bigger deal now than it used to be. Having seen us play East Noble, they were always well coached and the kids played hard. Congrats to him.
  2. By putting anyones names up without a press release is rumor and shouldn't be posted.
  3. I like the Texas model just because it is settled on the field. Your typical 4A-1A sectional would play round robin for 7 games then they would get 2 non-sectional games. I would take the top 4 from each sectional and take the top 4 from say section 17 and Sectional 18 and play an 8 team tournament. Where the #1 from 17 would play the #4 from 18. And so on. Then the tourney would go from there. The bottom four from the sectionals would play a "bowl" game for week 10. Where the #5's from sectional 17 and 18 play and so on. While the tourney teams get a bye week to prepare for their tourney and also they would get to still play on Thanksgiving. At least it would be settled on the field where it should be not by a computer or some weird algorithm that no one would be able to understand. As for the 5A and 6A. They could make it the top two in each sectional but then they would need to have two bye weeks in the tourney to play on Thanksgiving. I say let all the big schools in and give them one bye week. But still play the top team in sectional 1 vs the bottom team in sectional 2 and so on to begin the tourney.
  4. But the regular season isn't even. The ability to play anyone in the state when you want to isn't possible. Teams are stuck playing the teams around them so whatever way you use to seed won't be fair. In the NFL the schedule is chosen by the league but non-conference play in college football/basketball can be chosen by the schools involved. They can travel and play who ever they want. They can increase their Net or KenPom or whatever rating the selection committee is using. High Schools can't do that. I would argue the regular season is a way to get your team ready for the post-season. You spend the nine weeks getting your team ready, getting a two deep roster and putting out film that will get your kids into college. An all-in only hurts those schools who have to play a must win in week one and lose. They complain they had to play a good team early whne they had the regular season to get their team ready for that game. Sounds like the people who complain about everyone getting a trophy are worried that they won't get trophies if they have to play a hard game first...
  5. At some point Brownsburg would have to beat #2 team in state to win the championship. Why not play it first when everyone is healthy. Win that game and play the winner of the 2-7 teams, which should be a break before your thrid round game. I don't see the difference of when you play another good team or when you play a "bad" team. You have to win them all to win a championship.
  6. I understand the reasons and I apologize. I will no longer comment on this.
  7. It seems people here are more worried about rumors than the reason this thread was originated.
  8. When I posted this last week (and it was removed) I was told that I had a problem with Barron. The entire process of hiding facts and not letting people have opinions is a joke. As a father of a teenage girl I know that if any "teacher" slapped my daughter on the butt I would be going for his head. Since he is a football coach and a good ole boy we will just let him get away with it. The girl is the victim not John Barron!
  9. As long as Northwood doesn't have pictures of NP players they will be fine.
  10. After the game I tried to ask the question about the players who didn't play and I got it removed. If the story is true than Northwood withheld the video until they could use it. If the person involved cared about kids it would've been given after they had first seen it. Even with these antics Ridge had a chance to win. Northwood has abused the transfer "portal" rule and fielded the best team that the "rules" allowed. But the part about this that chaps my rear is the finger sniffing first down pose. Act like you have been there before. The spike of the TD by the QB that cost his team 15 yards. I applaud the Northridge admin for taking care of this promptly and following their code of conduct. Would Northwood of actedo n the video on Thursday before the game or wait until after the game to investigate it?
  11. Tough loss is right. We scored too quick to tie the game. Our defense has to be able to make a stop in that situation though. I thought that the Goshen QB and RB were pretty good players. It was a good game. We are slowly showing improvement. We can hang with Ridge if our defense can get some stops. NW has turf for their softball and baseball fields. When are they getting it for football?
  12. I'm not saying they were uncoached. My thought is that they are undisciplined and have a little too much "look at me!" for this football fan. I wonder why the coaches haven't toned down this behavior. That was the meaning of the tail wagging the dog comment not the scheme but the discipline of the athletes. I worked the chain gang as a sub one game when Bronson Yoder was a Senior and Northwood destroyed Plymouth. He was not only a great player but he was a great person to observe on the sidelines. He was constantly cheering for his teammates and didn't need to stand out. He was the epitome of a leader and a great player. At least from the one game that I observed him.
  13. Uncoached? Hardly! These kids are playing better than they have for over three years. I just had some observations that I made. The transfer portal isn't as great as it seems...
  14. Northwood has some dudes. But I wonder if all the showing off they do is a distraction from actually playing football. From all of the posting on social media, to pointing the first down after every one of them, and then the hanging mouth piece from your WR. Most coaches wouldn't allow this to go on if you are losing games and I wonder how much control the coaches at Northwood have. Does the tail wag the dog? Mishawaka is the best team I have seen in the NLC. Their QB is the best player in the conference. We need to beat Goshen this Friday to continue on our overall improvement.
  15. Awesome kick. That was a fun game to watch. On a side note does NLCTigerFan07 remember the OT game at Plymouth when the walk-off FG by Plymouth to win the game was counted even though it was missed. I work the gate by that side and we talk about that game all of the time. I believe that Mevis was your kicker during that time.
