Go HH!

Penn gets mercy-ruled at Freed Field. Never thought I’d see the day.

I have a few personal preferences that are different than the way they went about it. But this is not a bad mechanic. The wing official at the bottom of the screen has the forward progress spot. He comes in hard, as far as he can without moving off the line. He’s taught to come in as far as the first body, and stop. But he can’t come in as far as the ball. The R correctly brings him the ball, rather than tossing it to him, and they spot it at his forward progress spot. They measure it from there. It would be nice if they could just freeze the ball and measure it there, but that is the wing officials’ forward progress spot, and that’s where they will measure it.

Central is way overrated. Offense lack a real passing game. QB just throws it up for grabs. Evans has legit speed. Madison kid is a big boy, but takes half of plays off . He will not be effective once they get out of sectionals. Jasper and North have impressed more. Was disappointed in Memorial. Looked unimaginative on offense. Maybe talent the last few years have spoiled them. Not sure why they keep giving 9 the ball when 6 looks like he may be only true playmaker. Watch out for MD to rally may end up being in conversation as best team.

After watching all 3 1.North 2 A Central 2 B Jasper

Frontiers 16 Fountain Central 12 halftime

In the past (2010 era) @WCGrad92 and I made a Google Sheet that had each team's website, FB page, Twitter handle, etc... I'm sure that Google Sheet is still on my drive, but teams change FB pages and Twitter handles year-to-year (usually parents or booster clubs come and go without ensuring their account info is properly passed along). Slowly you're seeing Athletic Directors establish "official" accounts and sharing final scores for all sports or for larger sports or if say a team goes on a tournament run, they'll share more frequent updates. Trying to make a list is a bit like trying to herd cats. We have nearly 9,000 followers on Twitter without paid promotions and little unpaid promotion ( @DK_Barons can add a link to TGD Twitter & FB pages on our menus). Probably a quarter or more of those followers are inactive accounts -- parents who only followed a program while their child played. Still, if we're consistent with it, it'll grow and TGD followers will grow it themselves.

I'm more of a Mount Vernon fan. If I can't watch them, it's North Central. Every once in a while I'll watch Tri, Tri-County or Tri-Central.

Can also be confusing as there are several schools that share the same lettering and, sometimes, there's an inconsistency, across sites, as to how they themselves refer to teams. Lafayette Central Catholic is usually abbreviated as LCC, which I believe might be unique in Indiana team lettering, but a lot of folks just listed it as CC which could also be Crawford County, Clinton Central, Columbia City, Covenant Christian, Corydon Central, and even Cambridge City Lincoln if folks call it . Across sites, it also ends up being an issue ... Chatard, for example, is Bishop Chatard on CalPreps, Indianapolis Chatard on Harrell's site, and Indianapolis Bishop Chatard on Maxpreps. Usually gets abbreviated BC, but around the Lafayette area, BC tends to be Benton Central ... although there may be a local Catholic contingent that thinks "Bishop Chatard" when they hear/see "BC." I think @hhpatriot04 has a good suggestion that can help in clarification as well as, as he states, also increase the reach/engagement of the tweets by using the school's Twitter handle. Would there be a way to pin on GID the Twitter handle of the various schools so that folks could see them? Or maybe join them together with the distribution map that would show you the school, their class, and maybe their Twitter handle?

For schools with basically full time face to face school the issue is that it’s impossible to sit kids more than six feet apart. If Jenny calls in sick and says she had a positive Covid test, every kid who sat within a 6 feet radius of her in every class (mask or not). Is automatically out of a school for 14 days from last known contact with Jenny, regardless if you can produce a negative test or not. 14 days no matter what...unless you test positive in which case the quarantine is only 10 days out of school. Then once you return to school if you have missed 10 or fewer planned practices you need 4 practices before you can participate in a game. If you missed 11 or more planned practices you need 6 practices to return to play.

I also thought I’d never see Penn and Carmel both get mercy-ruled on the same night.

Although this was an impressive run against a less than stellar run defense.

I follow it. But typically, just like tonight, a tweet will read: BC 7 EHS 7 I have no idea who these 2 schools are. And I doubt 90% of GID does either. But it was of great interest to the OP.

WL didn’t get the memo. Supposed to be all shutouts!

I don’t have a twitter but on Friday nights I check the grids twitter to see some scores I’m curious about if they are not in the scores thread.

As the previous poster mentioned, you don't need a Twitter account to view public Twitter profiles. Thanks for your contributions to this Twitter-specific thread Muda. If privacy is your concern, you can create anonymous accounts with anonymous email servicses using VPNs and browsers which don't track you. If your concern is Twitter's notorious algorithms which control the content you see, that can be disabled. Anyway, BACk on topic. This will be the first week of 2020 that we will be autosharing instantly scores, updates, and multimedia which mention @gridirondigest or use the #TGD hashtag with our thousands of followers.

I tend to only follow on game days while out at a game. No real preference on the more/less aspect. I'm normally just checking for updated scores during game time, so as long as folks are posting them, that mainly all I come for on Twitter ... I don't even have a Twitter account.

I would venture to guess that Pioneer already had officials and both teams were already scheduled to be on the road with the shortage.

Floyd Central and New Albany are pretty good schools. I don’t think I would send my kids to Jeffersonville. Silver Creek is a really good school too with really nice facilities. I really wish they could join the HHC because they are pretty similar to FC just with less students.
