Nothing personal to the Purdue community...sure hope Monken doesn't leave Army. That man is a perfect fit at the USMA and has done an incredible job as their head football coach.

A Go-Pro affixed to the head might be very helpful. One of the most difficult aspects of video review is trying to determine what an official is looking at, and how that contributed to officiating the play. A Go-Pro would basically show you what the official saw during the play. And it’s the IHSAA that refuses to use or authorize such technology.

I was hoping to do an informal poll on the preferred method of gathering game/practice film in the current era of high school football. Is a trend developing with schools moving away from tried and true endzone cameras, such as the HI-POD X31, in favor of unreliable drones? Are today's coaches willing to risk safety and lesser quality for the flash and glamor of drones? I don't think it's a coincidence that longtime Indiana coaching legends like Bud Wright, Ott Hurley, Rick Streiff, Dick Dullaghan, Don Howell, Jerry Brewer, Chris Geesman, Bill Sharpe, etc are leaving the game in droves as "drone filming" is being pushed by more school administrations.

Pekin not the least bit surprising. Dude wanted out of JC, and that was a quick way out. Pekin was always a stepping stone.

Mr. Football vote breakdown will be interesting.

Probably don't want to risk the footage being used by those dang attorneys in a legal case.

Don’t think that will happen. But my guess is Vincennes leaves within a year or two and the remaining SIAC teams will have an open week to schedule non-conference games.

3 state titles in the Stateline area with Adams County in Indiana and neighboring Mercer County Ohio! Great year!

Hmmm, I guess that explains some of it. There's something about those Catholic kids.

The day seems to be coming when the athletes’ only true connection to the school is the name on the front of the jersey.

Of course. But that doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

I was setting there at LOS thinking, the better team won today. I was also thinking, Marion Local is just on another level. I have stated They were they best small school team I have seen in the last 20 years. They are probably the best team I have seen in the last 20 years. This includes teams 5A teams as well, including the 2020 Zionsville State runners-up.

I personally think 45-6 would be a halftime score for at least 15 Indiana teams playing Linton. I guess that makes my last post irrelevant. I guess I could have just edited it, lol.

Idk, they're so darn good that it could be possible. They kept the 7pm start time driving forever away to Linton to win 45-6. They beat much larger Ohio schools as well. 2 titles in our Stateline area and hopefully 3 with Coldwater this morning. They have a tough Kirtland squad though.

Playing in the toughest conference while boasting the highest FRL population in said conference is likely a contributor… (Ducks for incoming grenades…)

HH Sagarin Ratings 2024.pdf Heritage Hills finished in the Top 10 of Jeff Sagarin's all-class rankings for the first time in 2024.

I no longer apply for the tournament in either sport I work, I’m way past the point of caring, what are they going to do take my license?

This is one reason I was hoping that Kevin Wright would stick around for a season or two. A coach like Kevin could take the heat and cushion the blow to the "next" guy. Unfortunately for Sheridan, he is at Carmel now, and honestly, after seeing how this has all unfolded, I don't blame him. The Wright family has been a staple in the Sheridan community, but it wouldn't shock me to see all of them fade away after all of this. This is a job that I think no one wants after this. It would be hard to fill after Coach Wright left anyway, but now.....I just don't know who we're going to get to take this job. I wouldn't be shocked to see the AD try to find someone from outside of Indiana, tbh.

I'm an AC guy, but if you have watched Marion Local play and their size advantage you would understand. Their defense would figure our offense out and their lines are no joke. We wouldn't match up well to their WRs besides the 3 or 4 headed monster in the back field. Might not be a running clock for sure but it could turn that way with MLs special teams play. I'd hope to put up a Minster style fight only falling 21-7. Minster was most likely the 2nd best D7 team and Columbus Grove the 3rd best. AC is probably somewhere between Minster & Columbus Grove. Grove lost 41-6 to ML in the semis and ML turned it over 3x in the red zone and 1 deep in CG territory leading to their only score.

Don Howell has been dead for 25 years.

I thought they had the perfect system so this wouldn’t happen.

Just as funny this year as last year.

North Vermillion’s will be under a new head coach. A-Rod has stepped down from North Vermillion not even a year after being hired.
