I too am disappointed and dumbfounded that a Big Ten coach would go out and try to get the best talent in the state on his roster. 🙄 First IU didnt recruit enough in state, now he is taking too many guys. Can't have it both ways. Some of these kids have D1/Big Ten dreams and this may be the only route to pursue those dreams. More power to them!

My friend Coach Blaine Durhum had a serious medical event a few days ago and is currently recovery right now in the hospital. He has been coaching at South Newton for many many years and been part of our board for a long time as well. Scary stuff but sounds like he will be ok for right now. Feel free to drop him a line here @CoachDurham in the PM box or here. Wishing well buddy!!

Come on folks, we're PE teachers who teach in the gym, not about the gym!! haha

Congrats! You saved $250k by not playing at Wabash and getting an Education Degree that you will use to get a job as a Gym Teacher for $35k in Podunk, Indiana.

How about Demi Lovato, she KILLED it!

Would all the 6A fans heads explode with a Portage vs Warsaw Semi-State in 2025 with the over/under passing attempts for the game being set at 3? I for one would LOVE IT! Hard to picture Russ Leaving NP, but this has kind of been par for the course if you look at his career. Show up, push everyone and everything to its limit, and then move on when he feels like the limit has been reached or people around the program start to push back or question the pushing, and he is on to the next place.

If you support a man who thinks it's ok to walk up to a woman and grab her by the pussy, that speaks volumes.

Most people just wanted the credit for being “the first to know”.

I do not believe Mr. Hamnik enjoyed my response to his reporting ..... which is odd since he is no longer a reporter for newspaper, so not sure what he was trying to gain on "reporting" Thought he would be better than that from his long career

Very shameful indeed.

I didn’t want to name names.....👀 I don’t live in GIbson County anymore lol I do respect HH. Just don’t want them winning games vs my former school in anything truth be told I’m not sure where it’s from. I just seen it and had to share here to give you guys a little hassle. It’s offseason. Content is a bit dry.

Pretty tame compared to grab 'em by the pussy.

at the end of the day, it is up to the individual student athlete and their family. I will never criticize kids who make decisions on what they feel is their best opportunity for them. Look at Purdue this past year, had a walk on Center, QB and RB all start last game of the year.

Closet Patriot football supporter in GIbson county? Now that is interesting!

How did you get a picture of my tattoo?

I talked to a couple dads today whose sons (former players) are in med school at Miami and IU but I guess your friend wouldn't have any reason to have heard about them.

Yeah....I am familiar...uh..cough...I mean I have heard of him. Just thinking this name sounded like the sequel LOL.

Am I the only one that thinks Carson Steele sounds a little bit like the featured performer in an adult cinema production?

It's easier when you realize that you can really only use a grass football game field about 10-15x a year for games (5-8 varsity games, 4-5 JV games, 4-5 frosh games), which requires maintenance of a separate practice field. Maybe the band uses it once a week. At New Pal, maintenance of our grass field was very costly, as we had to regularly re-sod and re-patch, even with use only on game days. With turf, the field is in use almost every day - the baseball/softball teams use it for cold-weather practices, the varsity football team practices on it every day (which allowed conversion of one of our football practice fields to a grass soccer practice field, which allowed for both soccer teams and the V/JV and F football teams to practice simultaneously), the youth football league has its championship games there (as well as some youth all-star games), the junior high team also plays at least one game a year there, it hosts soccer games and practices, et al. Also provides opportunities for revenue generation as travel soccer teams rent the facility for practices & games. Because of turf, the stadium has become a multi-use facility that is used 250+ days a year. One interesting thing of note - a decade ago, it was rare to play a game on turf. This year, all 14 New Palestine games were played on turf (8 home games on turf + away games at Kokomo, Center Grove, Greenfield-Central, Delta, Whiteland and Lucas Oil Stadium).

Attucks is grass. I've driven by their field many times en route to Riley.

Artificial Turf - An extravagance for high school football, a game played by children for the enjoyment of primarily adults.

Hardly. But you keep believing that if it makes you feel superior. So in gonzo's utopia one has to have a government issued license to stack firewood. Got it. Perhaps he could be the county firewood stacking inspector.
