All Activity

Seeing some of the questions and potential answers on co-ops, I get why one may be hesitant toward the idea. Still, and I'm going to have to prepare myself physically for what I'm about to say, does anyone know what Illinois' rules and regulations are on this? (Excuse me, I need to go throw up now that I've put that out there...)

Most schools use EventLink these days—in some form or fashion. A majority use them for scheduling at this point. It’s interesting to see how schools choose to handle their surcharge for their additional services. For example, to use EventPay for officials, there is a $1 charge per transaction. Some schools eat the fee, while others pass it into the official (example: paying an official $89 for a varsity basketball game as opposed to $90). For those that use EventLink at the ticket booth there is a similar fee, normally passed onto the purchaser of a ticket. Last night, at a soccer game, I used my card to purchase concessions for the first time. A $6 purchase came to a $6.46 charge, of which I am sure that $0.46 is the EventLink fee. Wild times…but it was convenient.

I've got them at #13.............ahead of some pretty darn good programs. Think they should be higher? I think my big miss might have been Heritage Hills..............probably Honorable Mention consideration. The Top 25 is brutal. Lots of great programs in Indiana.

Westfield has been doing this now for several years. Buy your tickets in advance online. I believe this started here with Covid, you know, money is not clean, don't want to pass around the virus.

Wabash has the highest enrollment 9-12 in Wabash County and not only does it appear they’re going straight 8-man this year (Manchester announced last night they’re playing Benton Central week-3 now, as opposed to Wabash), but they also cancelled their entire boys soccer schedule due to not being able to field a team. That’s crazy.

That’s the exciting content people will be chomping at the bit to put their money down for! It’ll be a big hit in Fort Wayne! I swear to god it will.

They used to say that about Crown Point ....... Until Buzz woke that sleeping giant..... I do not know anything about Homestead football other than I think my guy Coach Skelton was there at one point, coached in NS with him on our WINNING North Staff that year. As I Mentioned here last year, good friend daughter just graduated from Spartans Hoops last year and in the spring. On that note: BUY PIZZA HUT !!! and OLEYS

What the hell does the last 10 posts have to do with the 23 guy being mad at Gonzos for asking for donations? I gotta go

No love for the Mighty Trojans of Chatard?

They fell off the radar last season. More of a "wait and see" kind of a team.

High school pre-season polls aren't easy. I imagine there will be a lot of movement in the next couple of weeks. I give a lot of credit to last seasons performance. I believe you're at the top until someone knocks you off. I took the coaches poll into consideration. And a little bit of gut based one what I'm hearing in social media. Trying to give an unbiased opinion. If @temptation ever shows up, he can have the poll back. I didn't want to see the Top 25 go away in his absence.

Can't even throw in the once mighty Snider Panthers into Honorable Mention? Come on, throw em a bone

First thing I see is Dwenger at 16. Hmmm, seems a bit high, especially given a conversation recently that we had when I praised Dwenger. Are these rankings based on last year or where you really believe these teams are this year?

State title? Semi-state title? If memory serves correctly, winning a sectional title is very few far between…

I'm not picking anymore but I'll be creeping!
