Do you have a graphic of that decal? Found these too... This should be enough.

No Stripes Flat Black

Well I was planning on going to the East at Mooresville game with a buddy tonight but he had to back out because he and his family are moving tomorrow. I’m unable to drive right now due to an injury so I’m going to have to wait until next week to attend my first game of the 2026 season. Looks like I’ll be listening on the radio and following along on social media for scores of the other games.

Linton 20 v RP 27 Earlier in the week I was confident in a 7-10 point Miner victory. Now I think it's likely still a 1-2 score game, but with RP on the winning side. Linton will likely be without their two most dynamic skill kids. One a returning a starter on both sides, and the other a very promising freshman athlete, also expected to be a two-way starter. Both played in the jamboree, although one was used in a lesser role than we'd normally see. Disheartening for this young Miner squad to say the least. I'll never count Linton out, but it'll be an uphill battle vs a very talented, well coached, and experienced group from RP looking to make a name for themselves. For two decades Linton has had a conditioning advantage in early season games (minus possibly games vs Souhridge and the outfit from Ohio we played to open the 24 season), so I believe they still have a chance, but have to survive the first 3 quarters. Keys will be matching the physicality of RP on the LOS, getting multiple hats to the ball, and winning 3rd/4th down. Good luck to all & lets hope everyone stays healthy!

No stripes down the crown of the helmet? Flat black helmet or glossy? I need to fix the Charlestown decal. Not sure which one they use? I think the black, blue, white, and gray (the first one) looks better!

Union Dugger is in the article. They’re playing 8-man. No clue about Wood Memorial. It’s been awhile since I remember them having a team.

Valedictorian of his senior class at the old Terre Haute Gerstmeyer High School. Recruited to play hoops for Adolph Rupp at UK, but chose to focus on baseball. Bobby "Slick" Leonard also a graduate of Gerstmeyer....

Monrovia's Helmet has changed.....

Well, that stinks for Hoosier fans. I feel bad for them, as injuries their senior years cost them NFL opportunities. Was hoping for them, they would shine and get another shot. Guess we shall see what the future holds.

So what's your affiliation with Pike Central? Just curious.

I would run it if I have help. We'd need at least 8-10 voters per class. That's a big lift these days around here. Ughh... maybe I'll start a thread to gauge interest. I currently have my Helmet Project going on, the Predictor Tool, and my regular admin/referee duties. Choices, choices...

The IHSAA needs to push for co-oping. Would the coaches' association get behind it? @Coach Nowlin

probably not this year man, i still have your excel doc if you want to run it

I live in the area and will be attending the Carroll-HSE game.

Maybe we should bring back TGD polls. I don't volunteer to run it. Calling on @WCGrad92! Jk.

Thank you for the lists. I'll probably have to scour their social media pages to find their helmets. The good thing is most upstart programs have fairly simple helmets because I assume they lack funding. Any idea what Wood Memorial and Union (Dugger) are doing now?

I like fc to beat all 3 of em by double digits

Just flexing my limited Arabic language knowledge. I lived six years in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Looks like they have numbers on the right side of their most recent helmets and the Governors logo on the left side. In that case, I've been putting the team logo on the right side of the helmets.

Week 1 Picks Martinsville at BNL: The Artesians lead the all-time series 24-4. The Stars pulled off the upset in the season opener last year 33-15, giving them their first win over Martinsville since 1992. However, the Artesians got the last laugh when they ended BNL’s season in the sectional championship 49-35. I feel like last season’s surprising 8-4 record was a one-hit wonder for BNL. I think they’ll struggle this year. Martinsville wins by at least three touchdowns. Columbus East at Mooresville: Second ever meeting between the Olympians and Pioneers. Mooresville got the best of East in a 12-0 game in Columbus in 1989 for a sectional championship. Both teams have new coaches. East’s is implementing a new offensive scheme with a new QB (a junior) while Mooresville’s coach is the son of a legend, Mike Gillin, who retired from there after last season and is #3 all-time in wins in Indiana history. Casey likely provides some familiarity and is able to build off what his father built while East will need time to perfect their new system. I have Mooresville by a couple touchdowns. 5A #9/#10 Floyd Central at 3A #2 Gibson Southern: First ever meeting between the Highlanders and Titans. Both teams lost some key players on offense (including the QB) and on defense. However, Gibson Southern always seems to reload rather than rebuild as head coach Nick Hart has built an incredibly successful program. Throw in the fact it’s an hour and 40 minute bus ride for Floyd Central and that’s a bad combination. Could be closer but I’m thinking Gibson Southern by at least ten points. Jeffersonville at Lawrence Central: First ever meeting between the Red Devils and Bears. New head coaches for both teams. I’m hearing from some folks that Lawrence Central could be a surprise this year. Time will tell. Nevertheless, I’ll take them over Jeff by 30+. 2A #8 Providence at New Albany: The Bulldogs lead the all-time series with the Pioneers 27-24. The rivalry was reinstated last year after a seven year hiatus. New Albany had won four straight prior to last year’s 49-14 defeat en route to their first ever winless season. Tall task for new head coach Marc Clark to get the program turned around. Providence is an established power at the 1A and 2A levels and I think they win by at least two touchdowns. Seymour at Greenwood: The Woodmen lead the all-time series with the Owls 4-2. The road team has won the last three games in the series after the home team won the first three games. Both teams have been less than impressive recently and I’m doubtful that changes this year. My gut feels like it could be a close one. My head says picking an HHC team in a non-conference game is a bad move. Therefore, I’ve got Greenwood by a touchdown or less.
