PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE BASKETBALL SITUATION IN BLOOMINGTON Signed EVERY BOILERMAKER FAN

What it means is their basketball coaching situation sucks.

With the money turfs saves in maintenance it's a no-brainer that they would have even more money for other things.

https://www.wsbt.com/news/local/edwardsburg-public-schools-closed-today All Edwardsburg public schools will be closed today, Monday March 8th. Superintendent Jim Knoll told parents it's due to the number of staff absences. He said many staff members got their second dose of the coronavirus vaccine yesterday and some have side effects. All after school activities will go on as scheduled tomorrow. The school district plans to return to normal operations Tuesday, March 9th. FTR - Everyone that I know personally that has had the vaccine has had a reaction. Nobody worse than the flu shot, but some reactions worse than others. Eventually I plan on getting the vaccine simply because of my traveling and being able to have it documented if it becomes a requirement before boarding a plane. I endure the required mask wearing but I am so over this and listening to Fauci.

Yeah, well the state does not care about the kids. Take a look around the state at the sectional sites for basketball. There are hundreds of people in gyms and student sections shoulder to shoulder with no masks and we are recording video of it and posting, but hey, some football place could only be at 25% and other sports like swimming had no fans allowed at the state finals. As long as they are making money, that is all they care about

A lot of kids could be covid-19 vaccinated for what it cost to build these extravagant high school turf fields. It's just a game played by children.

What an interesting week for the SWIAC teams in their sectionals... Sectional 63 ... The lone conference team was the SWIAC Champion North Daviess Cougars... who had the hardest road to a sectional crown. A first game against Barr-Reeve followed by a potential championship game against Loogootee. Unfortunately, the Cougars lost 40-38 to the Vikings. The winner of this sectional will be expected to make a deep run. Barr-Reeve ended up defeating the Lions. Sectional 57... WRV was able to play 2 games which ended up being a big deal for Andrew Ellett who scored his 1,000 point. A first round win was nice for the Wolverines, but the Shakamak Lakers put them out in round 2. Bloomfield was probably favored to win the sectional... they took care of business against Clay City in round 1. The semi final round was against possibly the only team that seemed to have the horses to play with the Cardinals. I thought it was a long shot, but at least a possibility. The T-Birds not only beat the Cardinals, but by double digits. Word was Clark had a big game for North Central. Shakamak came into the sectional playing better basketball, but they still were a longshot. WRV in the semifinal was not a given. WRV posed potential problems if Ellett had a big game. I still don't think the Lakers would have any chance to defeat Bloomfield... but North Central... maybe. Matchups matter... and the Lakers got their perfect Championship game. Congratulations on the Lakers for a great Sectional title. Congratulations to the Lakers as they will travel to Martinsville to take on Indianapolis Tindley Sectional 47... Linton was the favorite, but also had the toughest road. South Knox, Eastern, and North Knox were on the slate to win their 3rd straight crown. Each team was capable of beating the Miners. South Knox played out the way it should have earlier in the year. The Miners shot better and put the Spartans away with some great defense, which hasn't always been their forte this season. The semi final matchup against Eastern would give Lincoln Hale a chance to show the T Birds how big of a difference he makes.... Oddly, it was their defense that was the deciding factor. For 2nd game in a row... Braden Walters made an Evan Slover level of effort on the defensive end. Not too many guys can dictate the direction of a game without the ball in their hands. North Knox on Saturday night was a trap game. The Warriors have steadily improved and play physical defense. If they could patiently move the ball and hit shots, they had a good chance to win. That is exactly what they did for the first 20 minutes of the game. If not for some big shots by Hale and some great defensive/hustle plays by Drew Smith, Josh Pyne, and Walters... the Miners could have been down double digits. The Miners did not match the physicality of the Warriors early on... then Pyne got a little worked up. Walters, Pyne, and Smith seemed to be the 1st to step up. Walters was a game changer on defense, while Hale started to attack the basket. I know there was talk about the number of fouls called in the 2nd half, but watching the game... it was pretty simple. The Warriors didn't take the ball to the basket in the 2nd half, while the Miners/Hale went to the basket. In defense of the Warriors, they were struggling against the Miner 1-3-1 defense and hitting lots of 3 pointers. Congratulations to the Miners as they will travel to Huntingburg to face of against Southwestern Hanover.

Because the rooms aren’t big enough to stay 6’ apart. All in the name of science, right?

It's impossible to justify the initial install. Replacing the turf after the initial install is justifiable.
