Until they fix the field it's lipstick on a pig.

The long off-season is finally over. Who starts 2022 with a W? Castle at North ©, 7 pm Harrison at Reitz ©, 7 pm Mater Dei at Central ©, 7 pm Memorial at Jasper ©, 6:30 pm Vincennes at Bosse ©, 6:30 pm Wives, dogs and homely step-children are safe on the west side Friday night as "R" boys will roll Harrison at the Bowl and the Wildcats will put a running clock on everyone's former high school. O/U on Blake Herdes TDs is 1.5 and EFHS unsportsmanlike conduct penalties is 3.5. Lincoln at Bosse should be a good game. A W for either would a great way to start. I'll take Lincoln by 1 TD. After Reitz, North is probably the next most-hyped team. Lots of talk about multiple D1 prospects in the trenches and whether the Huskies can finish above the elusive .500 mark for the time since <checks notes> 2007? Castle is undersized and the Huskies aren't. I'll take the North by 2 TDs. O/U on Coach Nero flying chest bumps is 9.5. Memorial will be without a few key pieces and Jasper is a tough place to get a W early in the regular season. Memorial's strength is the size & experience up front, so I expect Coach Hurley to pound the ball like it's 1988. I'll go with my completely biased instincts and take the Tigers by 7. Sad we won't hear Walt Ferber on the WITZ 104.7 pregame show.

An honorary street sign has been installed at the entrance of Charles Wescott Park on Michigan Boulevard in Michigan City memorializing coach Bob "Bear" Falls that reads "Bear Falls Way".

Oh. Well... you're on the thread, now.

Former East Central coach Justin Roden running the show there. He & New Pal's Kyle Ralph were on the same staff as assistants at Oak Hills before Roden returned as head coach.

Cathedral has 70 freshmen players. About 50% of males in the freshmen class.

I wanna say the coaches and AD's met and voted on it. It sounds like the SIAC and SAC have much in common. Ever heard someone say "you are who you hang out with?" That's really what it boiled down to I think. If you want to be the best team at the end of the season, it certainly does no harm by seeing some of the best teams during the regular season. It gives you a benchmark as to how good you need to be in the postseason to advance to state.

I’ll take over for $50

Ok folks, Scrimmages are done and Week 1 is upon us. Who ya got ICC fans?

I hope having to report officiating income is not a deterrent to doing this. I've been reporting my income since I started. Not doing it doesn't say much for the integrity of the official. Especially since once you factor in mileage, dues, clinics, and equipment you usually have very literal income to report.

Yet - they somehow found a way to get it done. And part of that was due to their offense finding an identify and becoming more consistent, which is the point I was making for this upcoming year's "predictions" for the conference race.
