The inaugural season for the Olympic Conference. Only 2 schools remain from that conference.

According to the list at the top of the page, Pike Central is open. However, I haven't seen anything official, nor has it been posted on the school corp website.

When I am running for public office, I will never use pronouns, as Tories, like you, will twist the meanings behind the pronouns.

I would agree... Eastern played well... hit a lot of open shots. Executed the game plan well. I think they put themselves in a position to win regardless of officiating. I'm just not sure they were 10-14 points better (which is the margin for most of the 4th quarter). Linton did themselves no favors with poor shooting and missed opportunities. I doubt they hit any 3 pointers... and we seemed to settle for jumpshots rather than attacking the rim. It will be a good learning tool for the Miners. Friday nights team will be a chunk of next year's varsity squad. No Lincoln and a less than 100% Pyne will be part of the mix next year. It can be a learning tool for next year when a couple JV guys join the mix. That mix will have to win games differently than the 2020-2021 Miners. My biggest officiating issue was it seemed 2-3 calls would go against the Miners every time they made a run to extend the lead early or catch up later in the game. Most were questionable calls or inconsistent to the way that same official called things on the other end. Throw in the fact the guy seemed to want to be the star of the game... it was a problem for me.

Now all you have left is name calling and personal attacks. Now I know I have won. Have a nice day.

Sounds like the dues have been paid.

I understand that, but he did resign as Head Coach that is certain and although Bedford is a 5A school it’s only so because of massive consolidation, it’s a small town. In addition there have been some very strange decisions made by the school board in the past few years (not athletically speaking) if you live in Lawrence County you would for sure know that. Finally, I asked that in defense of Coach Weber meaning he is a man of impeccable character and integrity. He’s put his blood, sweat and tears into building a program in a town (school corporation) in which it’s difficult to do so. The reason is asked the question is that he’s on the cusp of a very good run with what he’s built there and I hate to see that he’s not going to be around to reap the rewards of the hard work put in by him and his staff. Just curious as to what happened as it doesn’t make sense and I was hoping to get an answer in a forum that has people that actually know in it instead of locals saying otherwise.

What a weekend... Bloomfield won against North Central and WRV, which should have been expected. They are 5-1 in the conference with only North Daviess left on the schedule. They have a legitimate chance at winning the conference. I'm not sure what the by laws are on the amount of games required to be eligible. Years ago Linton lost a football conference championship due to losing a game to a cancellation. Looks like the Cardinals won't have that to worry about. WRV lost both games, which shouldn't be a shock. I heard rumblings about their game against Bloomfield, but I can't imagine the Cardinals losing regardless of other factors. North Daviess went 1-1, but a close loss to Orleans isn't an awful loss. So... the big upset was Eastern over Linton on Friday night.... I'm not sure how to approach this... being respectful to those deserving of respect. I'll approach as an Eastern fan and a Miner fan Here it goes... Eastern- Coach Hudson had a good game plan predicated on ball movement and utilizing their big man to open up their shooters. They executed the plan well. Rippy was tough around the basket... he didn't hit everything, but he required attention and an extra defender hanging nearby to help. Creager, Rees, and Valentine were outstanding at moving the ball and hitting open shots. I'm guessing they hit 8-10 three pointers for the game. I can't count how many times they hit shots when the Miners made a run. They had to be very happy with how they played. Regardless of how the next two paragraphs go... they played well... well enough to win Friday night. Linton- First, Linton was without Lincoln Hale. He looked to get dressed... then he was back in his warm ups. Knowing Eastern was a formidable opponent... this had me a little worried. Especially with Josh Pyne back at well below 100% and Logan Webb and Braden Walters a little banged up (Logan looked to have a head injury last week, while Braden's back needs special attention by the trainer). Joey Hart and Drew Smith kept the Miners in it early, but they still didn't seem to be hitting open looks. As the game progressed, Eastern became better at forcing Hart into tougher shots. If Hart was hitting open 3 pointers... this game goes down to the wire. I think the Miners would have been better served to keep pushing it down low to Webb, Walters, and Smith. It was a growing pain game for the Miners. After all... they are pretty young. On a good note... the Miner JV demolished Eastern's JV... so the future of the series looks good for the Miners. Now for my less than respectable opinion of the game... Officiating robbed everyone in attendance of a barn burner. By officiating... I mean one official. I'll leave it at that. Personally, I still think Linton would have been in real danger of losing, but it was a shame to see an official become the star of the show.

isnt matt mullen and chris spielman the same person?

Right, I did have some corrections to make to the original list I posted here - take out Barr-Reeve, add in Rock Creek, etc. I keep a spreadsheet that I have made updates to, I just haven’t posted them here. Since official numbers are normally posted by the IHSAA sometime in January, I figured it would be best to just wait until those are released.

Neither did I, but this simple, 3 second google search will provide you with some information. https://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/zeeland-west-dux-(zeeland,mi)/football/home.htm You are welcome.

Since a couple of OOB members (OK - maybe just one) tried (but failed) to paint SF into a corner claiming I hate gay/trans on another thread:

I haven't read through this whole thread, but part of the thing that will skew enrollment numbers for some schools are the availability of online schools that are not affiliated with their districts. One example is K12, an online school provider. If students attend this school, they are not enrolled in their home school district. K12 must consult with the home school district in regards to special education accommodations, but those students are K12 students. Our district has lost a fair number of other students to other online schools, or even to home school. When they enroll in those schools, they are unenrolled in our district. I would imagine many districts have encountered this and will see an enrollment decrease as a result.

Who had two days in the pool of "when will DT return"? I was way off I said three weeks.
