Obvious photo shop? You mean the male *ahem* reproduction organ DOESN'T show up on x-ray? Something is definitely up here. The Ravens are traditionally one of the better run organizations in the league and the Raiders have been... less than that in recent years. So either there was something beyond concerns about the knee or this is a massive and uncharacteristic panic move.

Going back through this thread, and my golly my jeez... When Ben Davis played IMG, the stands were almost completely full. It was a huge crowd. BD held its own against the Ascenders. Had a couple of plays gone the other way, it would have been even closer. It was a fantastic atmosphere that was unique to any I've been around in my 40+ years of watching Indiana High School Football. I'm glad New Palestine is bringing that back to the state. Win or lose, they'll be talking about it for a long time in the community.

And now they just sign Hendrickson for 4 years/$112 million.

Schedule Homestead, Wayne or Luers. My treat. Heck, you could schedule Huntington North or Norwell. Come one, come all. We'll leave the lights, and sprinklers, on for you.

Be careful which x-ray. I saw an obvious photo shop. lol.

I typically stay out of these threads, but every now and then I catch the usual noise and feel compelled to point something out. For years the narrative was the same. "New Pal doesn't play anybody." "Sure they're undefeated, but who have they beaten?" "That schedule is going to catch up to them in the playoffs." We heard it over and over again. Now we've put together what I'd call an elite schedule, and wouldn't you know it, those same voices have shifted right on cue. No credit for answering the challenge, just a new angle to complain from. It's honestly laughable, and it's all the proof you need that some people on here simply cannot be won over. The goalposts don't move, they disappear entirely. What bothers me more than any of it is the inability, or maybe the unwillingness, to appreciate what Kyle has built. Not just at New Pal, but for Indiana high school football as a whole. That kind of sustained excellence should be celebrated on a forum that exists because we all supposedly love this game. Tearing it down runs counter to the entire point of why we're here. Anyway, back to ignoring the noise. We've got 24 weeks to get our boys ready to run through a gauntlet.

Week 1 ain't too shabby either. Should be fun! Schedule Tweet
