I'm curious. How did you resolve the above situation?

"Unfortunately"? So you are saying you believe rising diesel prices should be the fault of 15-18 year olds?

Week 6 Schedule Columbus East (3-2, 2-0 HHC) at 5A #5 Floyd Central (5-0, 2-0 HHC) BNL (4-1) at Jennings County (2-3) Jeffersonville (1-4) at Connersville (3-2) Seymour (0-5) at 2A #1 Brownstown Central (5-0) Silver Creek (3-2) at New Albany (1-4)

In this age of scarcity and rising unaffordability school administrators really need to look at the costs of their extracurricular programs. And that includes transportation costs, which are no longer relatively trivial.

Yeah, I hate when high school kids drive those diesel prices up!! OR is this you bashing 8 man football again??

I'm happy the kids get the chance to play the sport of football. Unfortunately diesel prices aren't the fault of 15-18 yr olds.

We tell the chain crew that they are part of the officiating crew, and must conduct themselves accordingly. But a lot of them tell you “we’ve been doing this for 20 years, so …” Those are the ones we worry about. I have some great chain crew stories. Showed up for a tournament game once. The home team’s field was unplayable, so we were at a neutral site. Both teams had chain crews show up, and each demanded to work. They were about to square off with one another, when I had to intervene. Another time, one of the chain crew had a kid playing for the home team. The visiting coaches were saying some pretty harsh stuff on their sideline and Dad objected. Things started to get pretty close to physical, and I had to stop the game and fire the entire chain crew on the spot. But my favorite was a college game I worked at Lake Forest, IL. Very cold day, with the wind whipping in off the lake. As we started the 3rd quarter, it became apparent that the chain crew had used halftime to fortify themselves against the elements with adult beverages. Made for a really interesting second half.

We remind the chains and timers that they are an extension of the officiating crew for the night. In reality, I get that they are fans of the home team and light cheering here and there is going to happen. We almost had to remove a member of the chains, not because of cheering, but because he wasn't doing his task properly and then getting an attitude when our HLJ corrected him. Go figure, he also didn't show up early to get the instructions. We told the AD after the game and he apologized profusely and immediately left to go straighten him out.

LOL. I wish I could... I have been in trouble for speaking about a certain coach... Several on here know what I think of the guy.

Oh. Do say more...

To be fair, HH hasn't "won" those games; Gibson Southern "lost" those games.

Much like assistant coaches, they are to be seen and not heard.

North Daviess JV went to Springs Valley and lost 18-42. The JV only has one game left, heading to West Washington next Monday.

By all means do that Titan32, I welcome the conversation: https://gridirondigest.net/forum/24-oob-forum/

Heard that Wabash cancelled it's 11-man game against county rival Northfield and instead will host Elwood in an 8-man game on 9/25. Northfield now travels two hours south (with diesel prices around $7) to play Indianapolis Scecina at Roncalli's field. What a freaking mess.

If they want to run their mouths to coaches/players, they should be removed. We had an issue with a chain guy (who happened to be a parent) a couple of years ago... The guy was literally running his mouth to coaches any chance he got (and some players too). It was ridiculous. But where they are from and who their Head Coach is... It doesn't surprise me.

North Central might be one of the 30 or so best teams in the state, but they're certainly not close to the top 10. Especially when you look at the resumes of the teams in the top 10 of our poll. Lawrence Central and Ben Davis better not look past North Central when they play them.

Coach, you have to admit…some of these are funny!!

South Newton is getting the hang of it. So far, the Rebels are 3-2 this season and annihilated Danville Schlarman 38-0 for Homecoming. Although it’s not tackle football in its purest form, they’re having fun out there, and that’s what really matters.

Yeah. Questionable. I guess they've been competitive... DATE OPPONENT EASTERN TIME OA 27.2, DA 39.0 Aug. 21 at Brebeuf Jesuit 4A W 42 37 Aug. 28 at Hamilton Southeastern 6A L 14 30 Sep. 4 Warren Central 6A © L 42 45 Sep. 11 at Lawrence North 6A © L 21 56 Sep. 18 at Center Grove 6A © L 17 27
