Part of the problem today is kids are being pulled ina lot of different directions. If you spend all summer working on being a basketball, football, and baseball player you don't have time for anything else. Burnout sets in. 4A and below need plenty of multi-sport athletes to be successful and most pick one sport to play. Who could blame them? I'm going to sound like the out man at the end of the bar but in my day... we had weights three times a week with open gym once or twice a week. No tourneys, no "7on7", no weekends spent at camps. We had jobs and chased the girls. I wish kids could have a more normal high school experience as an athlete.

Comparing the current AP poll with the very first one in 1936. Looks like only one team has stood the test of time. 😉

Think you’ll enjoy little ol Joe Gengelbach field! Heritage Hills returns a big core of their team that was the 3A south representative. Led by last years C&P Co- Player of the year Jett Goldsberry. North Posey lost a big junk of their team that was the 2A state runner ups. They are led by last years C&P Co- Player of the year Jed Galvin. My Vikes have some questions they need to have answered and may lean on some younger players to answer those. Lots of talent still on the roster but it all has to come together and that could be a lot to ask by September 20th and the best 3A team in the state… Welcome to POCO and message me if you have any questions or need anything!

False. Chatard gets plenty of players from across the Indy Archdiocese. Two of their quarterbacks are Cmehil boys from St. Michael's (believe their house actually backs up to Ritter). And two of their other stars are also from the west side diocese and St. Michael as well, Dan Adams and Jack Davis. Accusing Cathedral or Brebeuf of pillaging players from all P/P middle schools is just inaccurate. All schools (especially P/P) have to recruit students for their lifeblood. Cathedral is no different than the rest. I still believe any public that builds a program and recruits/spends time on the summer circuit can garner similar results. As soon as the IHSAA granted open enrollment for all publics, the success factor should have been revoked.

I just think that a team will play better as a team after they have played numerous games together, under game conditions.

I was today years old when I learned this https://www.facebook.com/share/r/FJBpZiuXsmysTfvA/

I would also hope the McCaskeys (Bears owners) would do something, but they still think it's 1985.

Yes and possibly yes (don't want to speak for anyone)

I was there when the streak was like 135. We had won 30+ games, in a row, against our rival Mishawaka. The team that broke the streak was Mishawaka. They won four straight and since then we have gone 9-1 against them.

Out-of-State power-house coming into Linton, Indiana....wonder if they know what they are getting into lol...

Thanks for posting to GoFundMe link, Bobref. It is already over $23,000. Gipper, Has anyone in the program attempted to reach out to Jim Irsay? Dude has a heart of gold.

Preach.

Done. Thank you!

Indiana: Land of asset forfeiture: https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/2024/08/13/marion-county-asset-forfeiture-treats-cash-transfers-as-crimes/74777122007/ Agreed. These thefts are also part of the War on Cash.

Good news about breaking, what a travesty of "sport" that was. And why is softball being played 1300 miles away in Oklahoma City? Is softball banned in California? Never heard of "obstacle racing" until now. Looks to actually be one of the contests in the modern pentathlon competition, not a stand alone event: https://obstacleracingmedia.com/featured/obstacle-course-racing-to-be-included-in-2028-olympic-games/ FTA: This brings even more questions. So no equestrian at the 2028 games? Google to the rescue: https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/paris-2024-summer-olympics/paris-2024-summer-olympics-modern-pentahlon-horses-out-american-ninja-warrior-in-los-angeles-olympic/3358364/#:~:text=Under pressure from the International,horse welfare scandals in Paris. Kind of crazy how these competitions are added or removed from Olympic games.

Those numbers are low at Rochester as well. Could be a contributing factor at other schools though. Haven't heard enough from other coaches to confirm that. Some smaller schools don't play soccer at their school, like Lewis Cass, and still don't have the numbers they used to have in past years.

As per our AD Darren Clayton. Start time is 7:00 p.m.

The world is catching up. From the WSJ: "In 1992, Team USA had 11 NBA players; the entire rest of the tournament, just nine. In the semifinal and final rounds, they faced Lithuania and Croatia—who had a total of three NBA players between them." From NBA.com "A record 139 current and former NBA and WNBA players are featured on national team rosters for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The men's and women's 5-on-5 competitions will feature a record 81 and record 51 current and former players, respectively." So, 20 players from the NBA in 92 to 81 in 2024 (there were 12 teams in this year's Olympics)

Until we get games this year, to me it makes sense.

I'm in for 1A and possibly 2A.
