Also, too bad this didn’t happen in Floyd or otherwise my brother @Fkfootball , would be able to fill in all the cracks

Fixed it for you. (wink wink)

Beautiful from Mongo….

Hard to know, NP lost a lot of production (Galvin was most of it) and has a small senior class coming back, TC lost the twins and I believe FP had a bunch of seniors as well. SS lost Ty Brown, PC has their RB back but lost their QB and Tec was young.

both ways...right? Perhaps the 2 examples provided are extremes? Maybe we should look more toward the median.

The small town in Illinois where I have family has a high school with a proud small-school football tradition. Lots of winning seasons, tournament success, etc. But over the years they continued to have decline in enrollment that obviously affected participation in, and success of, the football program. So it seemed possible solutions were: 1) Eliminate the football program entirely. 2) Consolidate the high school with another neighboring high school. 3) Co-op with a neighboring small high school in similar circumstances. They obviously chose option #3. The football program hasn't reached the heights it was in previous decades, but it is competitive. And those increased numbers are keeping it that way for now. It seems to be a compromise that has worked well for both communities.

This is the way I read it. So you could have a Rossville-Clinton Central co-op with a total enrollment figure of 532 (Rossville's 283 + Clinton Central's 249) or an Attica-Frontier-Indianapolis Tindley (I just picked the three schools with the lowest enrollment at the last re-class, I realize that geographically this is not feasible) with a total enrollment figure of 507 (Attica's 158 + Frontier's 171 + Indianapolis Tindley's 178). Again, just the way I read it, I could be mistaken.

Not so fast! The dream is still alive! 🤣😂😅 https://www.southbendtribune.com/story/sports/college/football/2025/04/23/notre-dame-football-tyler-buchner-quarterback-marcus-freeman-cj-carr-kenny-minchey-steve-angeli/83164288007/ Look who's QB (maybe): Tyler Buchner could move back to old spot for Notre Dame football SOUTH BEND —Tyler Buchner could be moving back into the quarterback room for Notre Dame football. The lacrosse national champion and walk-on wideout for the Irish last season is being considered for a move back to his original position with the departure of Steve Angeli to the transfer portal. “That's something we've discussed,” Irish coach Marcus Freeman said Wednesday in his spring practice wrap-up. “We'll look at the total number of arms, bodies that we have to practice, but it's definitely under consideration to move Tyler back into the quarterback room as we look into the summer and fall camp.” Buchner, who completed his only pass last season on a fake punt at USC, spent the 2023 season as a backup to Jalen Milroe at Alabama. In 2022, Buchner started three games for the Irish, claiming Gator Bowl MVP honors in the 45-38 win over South Carolina. Freeman made it clear that redshirt freshman CJ Carr and third-year backup Kenny Minchey will continue to battle for the starting quarterback job once fall camp opens in late July. Notre Dame, which opens on Aug. 31 at Miami, also has midyear enrollee Blake Hebert and second-year walk-on Anthony Rezac at quarterback. Rezac ran the scout team once Carr was shelved in late September with an injury to his throwing elbow. Buchner, a fifth-year senior, has completed 55% of his 138 career passes in parts of four college seasons. He has thrown for 1,033 yards and six touchdowns along with eight interceptions; that output includes his 23-yard flip to tight end Mitchell Evans out of punt formation in November. The San Diego product also has 483 career rushing yards (5.6-yard average) and eight touchdowns, including a 4-yard gain on a fake field goal last year at Georgia Tech.

What an absolute awesome human being. Met him before. Such a nice, kind GIANT. What an awful disease.

In Illinois the schools are hymenated. Georgetown- Ridge Farms

No shame in that! I'm guessing North Spencer wouldn't turn anyone away.

New pressbox looks great! Matches the field.

I was thinking about Orleans who is right next to us and do not have a program. Let's say we agree to do a co-op. That would include their 260 and our 374 (current 8-11 enrollment) to be 634. We'd become a small 3A and would probably add 5 kids to our program. 10 at the most. I wonder how many would go the co-op route that are currently fielding a team.

Does increase the odds of more "fender benders" in the stadium parking lots...... Just a joke!!!! (Or is it??)

I’ve often felt that recruitment of female athletes could go a long way toward alleviating the officiating shortage. This is an easy path to an untapped resource.
