Scrimmages next week and the regular season the week after and I'm ready to go! It must be August! I hope everyone is well and hope to see some of you in the upcoming weeks.

The real question becomes: will she still be “offended” by our country’s national anthem after we inevitably swap her for an arms dealer in the name of optics prior to the midterms?

The private and parochial schools are "content" with any student that can pay their tuition. Plus you don't know near as much about private and parochial schools as you think you do.

The "richness" of both coaching and the 'programs' in the area, should far exceed any loss(es) that occur year to year with the SAC. Just log onto Summit City Sports and check out the SAC. Week One: North Side v. Snider..... heck of a game to kick things off

The year after losing Dinan to Carroll wasn't terrible..maybe this will be the same?

Quentin Bowen is the new Northrop Coach.... That is who is being referred to

Is that her name?? I tried googling for verification on hotness, but can't find. Please advise 😊

Yep. I’ll lose a friend over a fall wedding. Or if you die, you’d better be important or wait until after the 4th quarter.

Is our country perfect? Far from it. Do we have flaws/areas for improvement? Hell yes. Hopefully this story wakes folks up to what goes on in other parts of the world and reinforces why our democracy is the greatest in the world. Sucks for Griner but perspective is important.

The South line controlled that game. And then Tate ran through defenders. Herrick was a man among boys.

You might be the only one

My comment was tongue in cheek but the irony of this whole situation is rich. Hopefully she comes home a changed woman…and uses her platform to influence others to count their blessings.

Firmly believe that each state should only have one "State Champion"

I remember that North South game, David Herrick from WC (and then to Michigan) played on the O Line. Those Washington teams were tough too. We barely beat them the following year by just 2 points in the Sectional.

Constitutional Carry has nothing to do with trusting the government. It is simply saying you don’t have to pay a fee to they government and beg permission to exercise and right granted to us by our creator.

Politics has become way too polarizing…so all or none. They are supposed to represent the people and that is no longer the case because most people see gray area on nearly every political issue. Another “wake up call” is how far the left has shifted and thinks that LA/NY and SF speak for the rest of the country and believe that optics on social media are real life and speak for the masses. The real “wake up call” is coming in November.

He was a badass, I swear to God he was. He replaced Hershel Walker at Georgia. Also at state finalist in track at NC.

LOL, ok. Good for them. My point still remains and 2021 validates it…on both ends. Those “rented mules” just made the CFP and those who did the whipping went 0-9.

https://nypost.com/2022/07/31/a-democrat-thinks-biden-should-resign-before-the-midterms/ On March 9, 2020, Joe Biden — then the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee — described himself as “a bridge” to a new generation of Democratic leaders who are “the future of this country.” As we approach the halfway point in President Biden’s first term, it’s clear the time has come for him to embrace his place in history as a transitional president and resign gracefully. Biden faces record-low approval ratings, an impending red-wave midterm election, renewed concerns about his physical health and cognitive fitness, a failed domestic agenda with no path forward and glaring foreign-policy mistakes. If Republicans capture Congress, he’ll also face questions he can’t answer on his involvement in his son Hunter’s lucrative foreign business. As a loyal Democrat, I don’t intend to criticize the character or integrity of Biden — for whom I voted on 2012’s ticket — and I recognize his presidency has had a few successes. His administration deserves credit for the rapid distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, which helped pull the country out of the pandemic’s worst days. Biden also signed two bipartisan reforms into law: a significant investment in America’s infrastructure and an unprecedented gun-safety bill. But Biden hasn’t done what he was elected to do: heal America after years of polarization and division. That healing process failed in large measure because of his team’s inability to pursue an inclusive agenda. Biden’s put the Democratic Party on track for a disastrous midterm election. He is widely blamed — and is in fact largely responsible — for the rampant spurt in inflation, which stands at 9.1% overall and 11.3% in wholesale prices, despite his efforts to fingers others such as Russian President Vladimir Putin. There’s a reason Democrats avoid the subject of Biden on the campaign trail — he’s a drag on their electoral chances. Biden’s approval rating just reached a record-low 31%. Nearly two-thirds of Democrats (64%) would prefer he not seek reelection in 2024. The president’s precipitous loss of support — even within his own party — has been driven in large part by voters’ concerns about his age and clear cognitive decline. A majority (53%) of Americans already had doubts about his physical fitness for office before his COVID-19 infection at age 79 renewed worries and yet another verbal gaffe — suggesting he has cancer — sent his communications team into damage control once again. But beyond his physical and mental fitness, Biden’s proven throughout his tenure that he’s unable to effectively lead his party and country, both at home and abroad. The president’s signature piece of legislation — his Build Back Better plan — will go down in history as a fiasco. Biden remained singularly focused on advancing this so-called transformational bill last year, often while ignoring the larger political forces at play vis-à-vis rising inflation, surging crime, the southern-border crisis and frustrations about COVID-19 mandates. And since Build Back Better’s failure, the Biden administration — and national Democrats — has yet to propose a new agenda for the country that is anything more than a knee-jerk reaction to the right’s extreme positions on social issues. Biden’s also been an inadequate commander in chief. Last August, he oversaw US troops’ withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was, simply put, an unmitigated disaster. That embarrassment led America’s allies to question our word, further destabilized the Middle East, gave Putin the reassurance he needed to invade Ukraine and jeopardized Taiwan. Unfortunately, Biden’s recent Middle East trip underscored his inability to project American leadership internationally. He failed to pressure Tehran to slow its nuclear program and secure allies to counter Russia’s and China’s influence in the region. Though Biden acted eerily cordial with the Saudi crown prince, he couldn’t persuade the Saudis to increase their oil production. Biden has clearly lost his ability to govern — just as United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson did. The time has come for Biden to follow Johnson’s lead and step aside. With the revelations about Hunter Biden’s contacts with his vice-president father giving the lie to Joe’s claims he never discussed Hunter’s business, it’s virtually certain there’ll be congressional investigations should Republicans win one or more chambers in November — making it even more difficult for the president to govern effectively. For his party and his country, President Biden should step down before the midterms and give Vice President Kamala Harris a chance to lead. While Harris unquestionably has political vulnerabilities of her own, Biden passing the torch would provide a much-needed shot in the arm for the Democratic Party — which claims to represent Americans of all classes and creeds yet still has three old, white leaders at the helm: Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. As a young person of color — who would be the first female commander-in-chief — a President Harris could help shore up enthusiasm among the Democratic base and bolster the party’s midterm chances, especially given the energy surrounding women’s rights following the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade. And elevating Harris now would have the added benefit of allowing party leaders and activists to assess whether she’s a viable option as the 2024 nominee. President Biden has served America admirably for nearly six decades. Now, as his final act of service to his party and to his country, he should gracefully resign and help usher in a new generation of Democratic leadership. Trouble in the ranks? Or just a part of the plan?

As another football summer is drawing to an end - something that has been on my mind that I don't really know where to address it - but wanted to get it out there - I thought I'd share something that I've noticed that has been a troubling trend that I've observed throughout the last couple summers. These 11 on 11 "scrimmages" or whatever it is you want to call them. While they CAN be a great tool for self-evaluations - I've been a little "taken aback" or "put off" by some of the antics by fellow coaches that are supposedly there to coach up their own teams - but yet it turns into a "macho/chest bumping/screaming/hollering" antics after a given play or whatever it is. I get the competitive nature of these things - but in June/July there are no championships won or trophies given out...can't we just cool it with all of that? I know I sound like an old "get off my lawn" type - but it seems it has just gotten increasingly worse as the summers have gone on. I'm now into my 16th year coaching (where does the time go?) - but I find it hard to believe that "back in the day" (if these things were allowed) - some of my ol ball coaches going crazy after a play trying to drum up excitement. I've seen it escalate into chippyness - and kids take after their leaders - so what do you expect? As a coaching community - we can and should do better. That is all.

I agree that you never win a state title or even a sectional in June and July. Some summer rules are good and some summer rules re not so good. I start my 35th season in 2022. Back in the day you would see high D 1 recruits at Bishop Dullaghan Camp and the North South game was a "Whose Who" of Indiana HS Football. As far as BD Camp goes you could go to Franklin and see Roncalli, Carmel, Seymour, Perry Meridian, and others battling each other. Go to Anderson and it would be Ben Davis, Lawrence Central, and Fort Wayne Homestead. The Belden Line Camp was a great builder of character and you "found out" how good you were and what you needed to work on. Ultimately it now falls on the coaches and players to hold their own summer scrimmages, 7 on 7s and practices. Everyone has to do it because everyone is doing it. (That makes a lot of sense) I think that is why we lose a lot of young coaches. Back in the day you could build decks, swimming pools, or run a lawn business. Work a summer job if you will. Those days are gone. You practice/work at football in the summer just as much as you do in the season. There are many positives as the game has gotten better. I just feel for the kids and staffs who pour their heart and soul into the game only to win a game or two year in and year out. Still Nothing like Friday Night!

Why would I go to a class A game I find no interest in that level of play. But I do see what you are talking about with size of stuff. I had a crazy idea while at CG red&white practice. 1. Seed the teams and the higher seed host all games up to rengionals 2. 5A and 6A semi-state games are played on Friday at higher seed home field. 3. 1-4 play on Saturday and the games are held at schools that hosted semi-state for 5 and 6A those school have the size and other things that you would need.
