Congrats to Coach Glesing and Salem. Coach Glesing is an outstanding coach and program builder. His early roots offensively were in power run/power toss out of various pro formations. He incorporated a little more spread/wing-t kind of concepts later in his tenure at Floyd, but still had the basics of power toss as the root, though he was dressing it up with more formations. Defensively he was always a 4-3/cover 2 base with adjustments. I think Salem has always been a hard nosed, physical team and I would fully expect that to continue.

I really don’t know anything about him or his coaching philosophies. It sounds like he has had some success in rebuilding some programs.

Another Amish hotbed is Barr-Reeve HS in Montgomery. They don't have a football team, but if they did...

I think their Jr. high really struggled. The current freshmen class has been a pretty solid group for them so they expected they'd get some kids from that group but they need to string together a few good classes. I really like their new AD and I'm hoping he will support the program. People underestimate how important a good AD and a supportive administration/school board is to a football program.

A diversity event that is not "Diverse"? https://www.foxnews.com/media/high-school-asks-employees-avoid-inviting-white-peers-event-people-of-color-due-mistrust High school asks employees to 'avoid inviting' White peers to event for people of color due to 'mistrust' A California school district hosted an event for employees of color but warned their White peers were not invited to participate A California school district held an event for employees of color but warned educators that they should not invite their White peers because of "feelings of uneasiness and mistrust." The Acalanes Union High School District (AUHSD), in the Bay Area, hosted an event for all employees of color on February 8, but Dr. Lynnā McPhatter-Harris, the director of Student Support Equity & Inclusion for the district reminded employees their non-White peers should not be invited to participate, according to an email shared exclusively by Libs of TikTok with Fox News Digital. "Hello POCC staff, we are ready for out first coming together in 2023," McPhatter-Harris' email read. "We are looking forward to seeing our people of color in the district. Please invite any employee of color to this event."

Flying out of South Bend for work all these years, I had various opportunities to fly with "Mayor Pete" especially when his focus turned to getting out of SB and moving more into Federal politics. I told him once to stick to his own convictions (he is a smart guy), and to not let the Democrat Party pigeon-hole him into a corner just to keep him where they want him to be. (A gay guy to illustrate diversity) It appears that he didn't take my advice and finds himself in a position he is ill-equipped for and is simply floundering while carrying the Democrat fallback position for everything. (It's Trump's fault) This dude would have been fired in the public sector by now.

My current PLAC projections 1. Perry Central- PC lost 12 seniors including 3 OL and the QB. They still return stud RB Sawyer Guillaume. I never assume PC can't replace lineman so if the new QB can keep a defense honest by week 4 I expect them and Paoli to have a dog fight. Both the Paoli and WW game are at home which helps out tremendously. 2. Paoli- 11 seniors gone from last years team they appear to be almost a mirror image of PC. Returning 2 OL and a stud RB in Trey Rominger. Like PC I also assume Paoli, who generally rotate alot of lineman throughout, will be able to replace their OL. @PC will be their toughest test for the conference crown 3. Springs Valley- The Blackhawks lost the fewest seniors with 6. They lose 2 OL and 1000 yd RB in Ezra Mills. Replacing Mills will be interesting. I'd assume Konner Chase and Larron Childers split to start. They return 3 OL and have quite a bit of good young kids on the line. They could compete with top 2 if they get good play from their DTs. Great Edge guys here but too many teams beat them by simply running down their throat. 4. West Washington- Losing 7 seniors including 2 OL and 2 of top 3 rushers. Bad schedule has us looking at possibly only 2 home games if we don't find a week 6 opp to come to Art Sanders. I have my doubts about us but more on WW when I do my full breakdown later in summer 5 Mitchell- The most seniors lost in 13. They lose 4 OL and return couple skill guys. The strength will be in the freshman class as they ran through PLAC last year. I'm sure some will get some early introduction to Friday nights as Mitchell looks to build something over the next few years. 6. Crawford- Not much to say. 8 seniors gone. Only team I couldn't find a game for to watch. I do believe against WW they started a freshman at QB. We all hope Crawford can get something going. Roster had around 21 kids which is improvement. That's where I'm at currently. Obviously this won't account for transfers/quitters/movers. I didn't touch on D since most are 2 way guys. It should be a fun season hopefully. Looking forward to more input and insider info from everyone.

In all fairness, Carmel, Ben Davis, and Warren Central were and still are blessed with a plethora of talent for most coaches to fail. So I don't think that is a good comparison. Eric Moore would have 15+ state championships in a 20 year span at those schools. That being said, I think Moore is building something sustainable at Center Grove. They will always be successful on the gridiron, not necessarily Eric Moore successful though. It will take a coach who has both passion and time. Many coaches have families and other obligations, so time could be an issue. Either way, he'll hand the baton off to someone who'll run the program the right way and maintain a decent level of success. Similar to Geesman/Yoeman and Isaacs/Tippmann.

Most of us knew what you meant.

Eh, I don't know, man. I didn't give it a Warren Commission type of analysis, but it looks to me like there was plenty of room for coach to lead his team off the court and stay out of the students.

R.I.P. Raquel Welch, model and One Million Years B.C. actor: https://www.avclub.com/rip-raquel-welch-model-and-one-million-years-bc-actor-1850119309 Wow. Truly an American Icon. She will be missed.

Probably do, but school board members don’t like answering questions about wasteful spending! Don’t be surprised if Carmel and CG play out their contract.
