So.... Did you take the baton back or what? No Head Coach is going to answer all of these questions on an internet board... Or answer them to someone who is outside his community. How do you assess the feeder/youth systems in January? Come on, Man!

Or heading toward the privatized prisons.

Yes... The more complete story is I worked on setting this up in so much of my free time I got a little burnt out on it. And when I got it live I sort of dropped the ball and slowed down on completing the details. I need to get that setup and get some donations flowing because it doesn't run for free and the cost went up a bit with the changes we made updating.

I'm good with the testing but it sucks that its limited to athletes or those who participate in extra-curricular activities. I'm guessing the need is higher (pun intended) with those who participate in nothing.

I will comment as a coach that was at the meeting. The Cass athlete was nominated by his coaches. There are a healthy amount of good players in our region. The particular player did not necessarily stack up in the measurables as well as the other players. He was a kid that got better all season. He was an average player at the beginning of the season and made himself into a better than average player by the end. He received IFCA All State, AP All State, Kokomo Tribune, and All Logan Land. He was also Academic All State and Team Captain. Not a bad senior year. Region All Star would have put the cherry on top for his season. There were some teams with lesser records that got kids on. It does not mean that they were any less deserving. I cannot try to reason how a 6-4 team gets 3 guys on and a 7-5 none. It sometimes comes down to the number of kids nominated in a position group. I will also add that this is the first year in 2 years that any Cass coaches went to the meeting. There have been conflicts and miss communication at times that have prevented in coaches attending. This may not sit well with some coaches. I don't know. But there is a responsibility that comes with coaching, and representing your team when you have kids to nominate and when you don't is one of those. I will say it was disappointing, but it does not define this kid. I talked with him last night, and he was good with it. Like I said, it was going to be the cherry on top. Nothing more.

Just like the merger of Muncie Central and Southside, and the merger of Rockville and Turkey Run, the unified Elkhart High School will remain in the class the two separate schools are placed in for both years of the alignment cycle. The unified school will be in 5A for one year, then most likely move up to 6A in the next alignment cycle. The IHSAA won’t move them up because they have no way of knowing what the actual enrollment of the school will be until that school year (2020-21) begins. It’s too late to make a class change by that time, so they just keep schools in the class they are aligned to at the beginning of the cycle. If they did move them up, they would have to move the smallest 6A school down, which could require a shift in all of the sectionals in 5A and 6A.

Agree on MV and NP . . . dunno about GF . . . but you're right, I don't think it can get worse.

My thinking was that this is the next step in the progression of "free market" lol education. The "choices" will only apply to those with the resources. The ones with no "choices" could just start working.

Conflict of interest? Yes, probably. Good legislation on repealing restrictive, unneeded regulations? Yes.

The Trouble With Child Labor Laws: https://mises.org/library/trouble-child-labor-laws I agree.
