The state of journalism in the State. I give you the Harvard-Texan author's bio: By Kendall Webb Joined: Jul 30, 2026 Kendall began covering high school sports in East Texas as a high school student in the late 1980s. He served as the sports editor for the Gladewater Mirror early in his career while attending Kilgore College where he received an Associate of Arts with a major in journalism. He later completed his Bachelor of Journalism at The University of Texas at Austin. Webb later founded the College Football America Yearbook, publishing an annual edition every year from 2011 through 2022.

Would be a great way to start off a coaching career for young Coach Shaffer. I’m not saying it’s going to happen but just putting it out there. The game last year was fantastic, hoping for another one of those.

Oh, they bat eyes. I'm 100% sure that I was teaching at Harding and know why Jaylon didn't go there.

I don't like any ranking that puts Penn and Crown Point behind Merrillville. And their info on Crown Point is wrong. They beat Lowell 42-7 and played Chicago Taft 3 years ago. The Pike Red Devils will be visiting Crown Point on Friday night.

I feel like this might be better thought out than whatever maxpreps puts out. However, I am still struggling with this Franklin Central being ranked ahead of Penn nonsense..... but whatever.

That response tells me what I needed to know about your knowledge of Rossville community amongst your acquaintances and pals over yonder

Keep track of who has committed and been offered where! Please post reliable sources. Who is going to kick us off?

Penn's run D against Valpo was not good last week. Valpo got in their own way. I think this will either be a shootout or low scoring due to limited possessions.

Madison-Grant does Vegas Gold and Oak Hill does Old Gold.

Thank you for the input. What are the specific colors? They look like dark John Deere green and a "corn" yellow? Thankfully, I made the executive decision of no "awards stickers" for all teams. Also, I'm only doing the right side of the helmet which reduces the work by at least half.

What up you Nutters, week 2 is here and there were some surprises and some status quo actions from week 1. Initial reaction, I actually feel like the talent from top to bottom in the WRC is increased greatly from last year. Last week of nonconference and then the nuttiness starts to kick off. Attica at Tri County- Tough go around for the Ramblers, I'll talk more about them in the power rankings post but I question if I was wrong about the Ramblers in the preseason. Tri County is not good and I like Coach Dean and his crew to get it done this week. Attica 27 TC 6 Covington at Englewoods- Covington layed down the wood on Tri County but gain they aren't a good team so I need to see the trojans get battle tested first before jumping to conclusions. What I usually know about these matchup's I like the trojans. Covington 42 EW 20 Fountain Central at Crawfordsville- A bittersweet game for Earl and his crew. A tough loss but a lot of fight and seeing his crew fight without their best player had to be a great sign for Earl and his crew. Cville is good but did not look that tough aganist PH. I anticipate another close game for the Stangs but I'll give the edge to the home team. Cville 22 FC 15 Paris, Il. at North Vermillions- I was surprised by the improvement from the Falcons but they will still struggle while learning how to compete. Paris 34 NV 14 Seegers at Benton Central - Game of the week. Seeger played well and ultimately fell to a good carroll team. BC with Herb will be fired up for this game and I bet there is no love lost for herb to the Patriots. I like Patriots though in a barn burner. Seeger 36 BC 29 South Vermillions at Sullivan- SV looked good in the 1st Half and struggled in the 2nd Half. They are still young but dramatically improved. Sullivan has some dudes and this will be more of a stepping stone game for the Cats this week. I think Sullivan will win but will be closer than last year. Sullivan 35 SV 21 West Vigos at The Woofs- West Vigo is better than I anticipated and so are the woofs but both teams will struggle. I'd like to pick the woofs but I think crabtree will have his crew ready and I like them to win in a thriller. WV 24 PH 20 Riverton Parkes at Tri on Saturday - Well Well Well this squirrel will admit I was nuts to pick against the Panthers but I'll admit when I'm wrong and maybe they are the real deal. They are good but I still think they aren't up there with teams of the past. I know very little about Tri rather than the fact they run and are physical and have had success in the past decade. Learned my lesson I'll take the Panthers by a couple scores. RP49 Tri 21 God I am Nutty or just educated Idk but I'm about to stuff some Wall NUTS down my gullett and spit em out soon. Hang soon for Power Rankings

ETA: Madison-Grant does Vegas Gold and Oak Hill does Old Gold.

Probably. But apples/oranges.

Thanks for the input. That's almost impossible to do. I've tried on other designs, but I'll try again. They are likely to get a thick blue stripe down the crown of the helmet. I couldn't get Madison-Grant's diamond stripe right either, so they got traditional black/white stripes. Which one is Vegas and which one is Old Gold?

I bet they have enjoyed the home grown success of Wrestling these past few years...... 😄

Bloomington North at BNL Columbus East (0-1) at Columbus North (1-0) Jeffersonville (0-1) at Seymour (0-1) New Albany (1-0) at 2A #3/#5 Indianapolis Lutheran (1-0) Whiteland (0-1) at 5A #6/#7 Floyd Central (1-0)

The "O" links creating their chain stripe are a cool touch. Not a huge OH fan, but I do like that.

So... Whiteland smacks East in the scrimmage.. North beats Whiteland in a good game week 1, but now East is going to compete with North and FC will beat Whiteland by "at least 3 scores", some odd stuff going on in this thread. Oh and BNL(who didn't exactly dominate Brownstown in their scrimmage) will beat Whiteland by 35

HH/Apollo could be a good game this year....the fact that we graduated entire O and D lines along with all our linebackers could expose a weakness, or 10. They went into 2 OT with Murray last week, Murray is always good. Dunno what to think of this game this year.

Update "s" in Cougars, chinstrap, American Flag, and neck pad text.

That was the hardest one! Oh I see an issue with the "s" in Cougars. Part of the facemask broke off. Must be a hard-hitter.

North Daviess looks accurate. Haven't seen the rest.
