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.

North Central getting a vote at 1-4???

It takes a village. Our community really wants a strong football program.

They should keep their mouths shut at all times

Not a big fan of volunteers talking to coaches and players as I volunteer myself. I line judge volleyball games and works the scorers table for basketball games and I would not interject myself with coaches and players. Now, obviously I speak to the officials quite a bit in my roles as that is necessary.
