I do not get the rational of why when schools are closing and you have a recognizable name why you have to change things. Name, school colors, mascot. Anderson, Kokomo have closed high schools and they kept the tradition rich name. When SB Central closed they never did any change at LaSalle when the students all went there. I just do not see why all of the changes and maybe I am missing something

Some might not be very bright too. When they are 3A enrollment, they play in 3A (like they did from 2007-2016). When their enrollment is 2A level, they play in 2A. There are no tricks involved. Their success has been exclusively in 2A to date. They had some ok teams (not great) while they were in 3A but they ran into better teams early. 2010 - lost to Chatard (eventual state champ) in sectional championship 2011 - lost to West Lafayette (regional champ) in sectional semifinal 2012 - lost to Hamilton Heights (state finalist) in sectional semifinal 2013 - lost to Brebeuf (state finalist) in sectional semifinal 2014 - lost to Tri-West (eventual state champ) in sectional semifinal 2015 - lost to West Lafayette (state finalist) in first round I don't think they need to apologize for playing in 2A, as their enrollment dictates, since 2017.

Pre-orders available if interested. Also pretty sweet a WW kid makes the cover. Congrats to Holden. Now I await my copy to help me pass time till kickoff

Good point. Another great point. I think we could fight crime together!

But we could take the South Shore Line to Ham—never mind...

@DT, I love this idea. But that’s not the same thing as saying it’s likely to happen. From a competitive standpoint, it makes all the sense in the world. Unfortunately, it doesn’t make much sense economically. Hammond and Morton are unlikely to travel well, and I don’t expect the folks from KV and Lowell to be too excited about those road trips. Hanover Central is a more likely candidate. Growing population. Good community support. Nice facility. More centrally located. An up and coming football program.

So to be clear... your point is BECAUSE Concord, NorthWood and Plymouth have been the only competitive/relevant teams in the conference in the 2000's THAT is why "interest has waned in your conference, participation and fan interest are down, and overall talent is probably at an all time low." That is a ridiculous take, even for your standards.

On a similar note; how does this guy and his friends get away with this (armed; heavily armed INSIDE the Statehouse mind you)? But these unarmed protesters get tear gassed?

Not condoning the riots at all; buuuuuuuuuut

I umpire for Cal Ripken 9-10s and 11-12s....does that make me an official? I am an "typical" youth football coach....I know very little about the game and I am a homer to the endth degree. 😊

The champ club is what I was referring to.

Lebanon is adding turf this summer.

That will be one question I am NOT asking next school year. 🤣

Having been a lifelong Peanuts fan, I think this is an awesome idea, and will likely be spending some dough here. https://ikonick.com/collections/peanuts?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=UN_DR_US_EN_Peanuts_CostCap&utm_content=UN_DR_US_CA_EN_Con_DTM_Auto_Peanuts_7DC1DV_A2265%2B&utm_term=VID_MOUNTAINGETBACKON_1&WickedSource=Facebook&WickedID=23844850460310372

That explains it perfectly. It also helps if your kids aren't ugly.

Let's just hope the next 6 years they stay in 2A 😁

He started the champ club too. Its sad .. Parents at Winamac want to beat Pioneer bad but Winamac parents won't let their kids get coached or attend weight lifting sessions in morning.

They won a Sectional (lost to Scecina in Regionals in 2017) and 2 State Championships. As XSTAR pointed out... When enrollment has been 3A they have played 3A... When 2A, we play 2A. And if we are honest, Webo dominated the Sagamore the last 2 years in which there are 4A, 3A, and just a couple 2A schools. One of those 3A schools went to Semi State in 2019 and in 2018 there were 2 Sectional Champs that they beat (3A Tri-West & 5A Lafayette Harrison) during the regular season. If Webo has to move up due to enrollment or success factor, then they move up.

Barr's actual overall record is something like 111-100. He won 5 sectionals and 2 state titles at Chatard.

DT lies again. #ZEROcredibility

Those success factor points only keep you in a class if you were bumped up. Like New Pal for example. They already have enough points to keep them in 5A no matter what their enrollment is next year. They could go to 6A with a regional win, but cannot move down to 4A since they already have 4 points. Warsaw did not get moved to 6A due to success factor, so they could be moved down based on enrollment even if they score enough success factor points to “stay up” in 6A.

Another happy update: Indiana Returns Land Rover Seized 7 Years Ago in Landmark Asset Forfeiture Case https://reason.com/2020/05/27/indiana-returns-land-rover-seized-7-years-ago-in-landmark-asset-forfeiture-case/ Sickening that the Indiana Attorney General is still pursuing this. A complete waste of taxpayers's dollars and the time of Indiana state attorneys. As one of the comments to this update states: Also I wonder if the State kept up on the regularly scheduled maintenance of Mr. Timb's vehicles in the 7 YEARS it took them to return it?

CBS deleted this video in under 24 hours. Perhaps the thumbnail showing people gathered together at a park in San Francisco with no social distancing and only one person wearing a mask does not fit their coronavirus narrative.

The Hydroxychloroquine Controversy Is a Reminder That Prescription Laws Are a Government Racket https://mises.org/wire/hydroxychloroquine-controversy-reminder-prescription-laws-are-government-racket The FDA's latest statement that taking “any drug” is a decision between doctors and patients contrasts sharply with the one it made a little over three weeks prior regarding HCQ. On April 24, the agency cautioned against using HCQ “for COVID-19 outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial due to risk of heart rhythm problems.” Although not a direct contradiction, the May 19 statement makes a substantial difference in the April 24 statement’s effect. That’s because it’s reasonable to expect that the FDA will typically enforce its opinions through a perceived threat of coercion. As investigative reporter James Bovard wrote in this space last month, the FDA has a history of using intimidation tactics to secure compliance with unfinalized prohibitions, including against “off-label” drug treatments. In 1991, then FDA commissioner Dr. David Kessler told the Drug Information Association that the FDA would use seizures, injunctions, and prosecutions to enforce its ban on drug companies sharing “off-label” use information with doctors. The ban was never formalized, but Kessler said: “I would urge all members of the pharmaceutical industry to take a long and hard look at their promotional practices. I do not expect companies to wait until this guidance becomes final to put their advertising and promotional houses in order.” Kessler would not be proud of the current FDA head, who concedes that “ultimately” doctors and patients have the decision-making power over drug use. In 1992, Kessler said quite the opposite: At least Kessler was more consistent than Hahn is. There’s no sign that Hahn will follow through his words that doctors and patients may decide how “any drug” should or shouldn’t be taken. That’s too bad, because when the doctor-patient relationship isn’t interrupted by bureaucratic third parties or red tape, it is the strongest bulwark against drug and prescription abuses. What benefit is a layer of FDA regulations that simply restrict everyone’s freedom for the sake of those who will circumnavigate the rules, anyway? The principle is more commonly accepted in the gun control debate, but it is the same in the prescription drug control debate. Trump got it right when he said people should be allowed to decide for themselves. His words clearly influenced the FDA’s messaging. We can allow ourselves a little hope, but realistically, substantial reform towards more freedom in medicine may have to wait until a worse crisis demands it.

I wouldn't want to immediately drive a car that has essentially sat for seven years. Any gasoline in the tank needs to be drained and refilled, the oil and filter need to be replaced. The battery needs replacement. The tires need to be thoroughly inspected, sitting on (probably) concrete in one position for seven years may have caused them to go out of round. Is the state of Indiana going to pay for these services? Should they?
