When a guy is consistently told there is an appropriate place for his politically-motivated rants in the OOB, but persists in polluting threads in the High School Forum , what does that tell you?

Are you going to answer his question?

How about your fax machine and Palm Pilot? 😂

And he called their mommas fat...and ugly, culture withstanding of course.

So instead of proving him wrong with your evidence, you're going to call names, take your ball and go home? Seems like you're giving up awfully easy.

No, you know what I mean....LOL.

He just called yo mamas fat.....and ugly.

There are no financial benefits in the year of covid. Especially in Hogsett's playground. Limiting Lucas Oil to 2,500? Are you kidding me?

Got tired of hiding all the non football posts. Hiding your posts on this forum is step one. Moderator preview is step two. This site is not your soapbox.

When did you make your payment? If it was today just give it a day or two. It is not an automatic process.

None. None of it should be discussed here. Only high school football. Join the Out of Bounds Club and discuss all the factories and automakers you want. Just keep it off the football forum.

https://reason.com/2020/09/09/the-persistent-myth-of-widespread-voter-fraud/ If anything, Ginsberg goes easy on those who make broad election fraud allegations. When Kris Kobach was Kansas Secretary of State, he pushed election law reforms premised on the need to root out election fraud and, in particular, prevent voting by non-citizens. When these restrictions were challenged in court, his case crumbled. Given the opportunity to present evidence and expert testimony, Kobach was unable to substantiate his fears of stolen elections. Kobach was eventually held in contempt and sanctioned by the court. The evidence of widespread election fraud is woefully thin. When it happens, it may effect local races (where the total vote counts are much smaller). It is impossible to prove election fraud is not happening, as it is impossible to prove a negative. (To those convinced we have a problem, the lack of evidence only shows that those stealing elections are even more devious than we thought!) While election administration in parts of the country may be rickety and inefficient, there is no reason to think national elections are compromised, let alone that the Presidential race could be stolen. That said, when efforts to subvert election laws are uncovered, they should be prosecuted aggressively. Election law violations should be taken seriously. With that in mind, here's more from Ginsberg's op-ed:

“But this doesn’t seem like a team that is well coached. ” “but you would think Madison could find acoach that can teach fundamentals.” “You would think they could find a good 1-A coach or something that would come there.” I’m no English major but I’d say those are shots at them. Coach Wilson was a coordinator at an HHC school prior to being name HC at Madison. He’s a young coach, never been a HC, he’s growing as a coach and learning on the fly at being a HC. Madison has socio-economic issues that other schools in the HHC don’t have. Regardless of your shots, I have seen some good things from Coach Wilson. That may not necessarily translate to wins at this point, but wins are not necessarily the sole measuring stick of HS coaches.

I agree, it's a thread about Region football.

Keep trying......I am admittedly ambivalent...I really don’t care. I’m just looking at who has visited LOS these last 20 years. Seems pretty clear. Good luck, though, tying your identity to a city in another state that you don’t even live in. BTW, I’m a proud hillbilly from Southeast Indiana....not Cincinnati.

As one who likes to stir the pot and create discussions about controversial subjects, you back out when someone else wants some debate? Should most of the schools in the Region consider contraction?

Sorry, had a few other things going on. Looks via contact tracing, only the Northrop Freshman team is in quarantine at this time. Not sure how the delineation was made, but good for them that so far nothing has spread beyond.

Looking forward to seeing the Norwell @ Bellmont game on the witness. I will have to add it to my Friday night lineup on the laptop.

Friday, Sep. 11 Brown County at Indian Creek, 7 pm Cascade at Cloverdale, 7 pm North Putnam at Sullivan, 7 pm Northview at West Vigo, 7 pm Owen Valley at Edgewood ©, 7 pm South Putnam at Greencastle ©, 7 pm

This is spot on. I'm obviously hoping for the Trojans to pull this one out, but Cathedral has too much speed, size, and depth for Chatard to hang for 4 quarters. I don't believe in moral victories, but I wouldn't feel terrible if Chatard comes out of this injury free without a running clock at any point in the game. Good news is this is why they play the game on the field Friday night. Wouldn't be the craziest thing 2020 has shown thus far...

Game live on Chatard’s Facebook page. Marion Co is limited to 1,000fans so moving it to LOS wouldn’t change anything.

Care to elaborate? You posted this 15 hours ago as a confirmation and I have seen nothing yet regarding any SAC schools.

This is where I have issues, you have no clue what you're talking about.

Oh Jesus.

Boiler mentioned Valpo was just in the state finals for 5a (2019) last year and also in 2001. So that would make Lowell, Andrean, Whiting, and Valpo with state final appearances. I guess most region people don't see Laporte county as part of the "region" but I should mention the Slicers run to the state title a few years back and New Prairie under Radtke made it as well.

I would assume that some, maybe most, in the area saw that he signed with Purdue and thought he would come out and blow the stat sheets up this year. Obviously his stats are not bad by any means, just maybe not what some assumed. The kids can play and that is all that matters!!!!!

17 of the 25 have yet to play a game. Interesting.

And, in another twist: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2020/09/09/attorney-general-brief-supports-archdiocese-lawsuit/5749813002/ Three amicus briefs were filed Tuesday with the Indiana Supreme Court, asking for the dismissal of a lawsuit brought against the Archdiocese of Indianapolis by a Cathedral High School teacher who was fired over his same-sex marriage. These briefs — filed by Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill, the U.S. Department of Justice and a group of three law faculty from private religious universities — argue that the Constitutional rights of the church should prevent Joshua Payne-Elliot from being able to sue over for his dismissal from Cathedral, a Catholic high school. “The suit should have been dismissed immediately under the First Amendment’s longstanding protections for church autonomy,” Hill said in his brief. Last year, the archdiocese threatened to cut ties with Cathedral and Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School where Payne-Elliott and his husband respectively worked if the two remained employed at the schools. Brebeuf decided to split with the archdiocese, but Cathedral fired Payne-Elliott. Payne-Elliott filed the lawsuit against the archdiocese in July 2019. A month later the archdiocese filed its own court documents arguing for the lawsuit to be dismissed on grounds that as a religious institution it should not be subjected to secular court interference. Youth coach quits, citing Archdiocese's transgender student policy How SCOTUS ruling could affect cases of educators fired from Roncalli Lutheran athletic trainer, coach says she was fired for being gay Indianapolis Archdiocese cites First Amendment in lawsuit However, Marion Superior Court Judge Stephen R. Heimann allowed the lawsuit to move forward, questioning whether the church is the “highest ecclesiastical authority” that can determine how Cathedral must handle employment dealings. Hill's brief criticized Heimann for his ruling, saying the judge allowed his personal opinions on the archdiocese to influence his decision. “The trial judge’s actions here improperly interjected judicial power into ecclesiastical matters, and this court should dismiss the case before the judiciary suffers further loss of esteem," Hill said. All three briefs wrote in support of the church's argument that, under the church-autonomy doctrine, the courts should not interfere with religious law. The professors wrote that the case attempted to add secular input to what they said should be religious decisions, such as the archdiocese's power to decide the standards for a Catholic high school. "There is no putting the genie back in the bottle after the courts have become excessively entangled in a religious controversy because they erred in failing to dismiss the case because of the church-autonomy doctrine," the professors' brief said. The professors work at Notre Dame, Brigham Young University and Pepperdine. The Department of Justice wrote that Payne-Elliot's lawsuit "attempts to penalize the Archbishop" for finding that a school's employment of someone in a same-sex marriage cannot align with Catholic teachings. “There is no more fundamental constitutional principle on the proper relationship between church and state than that the government must leave religious decisions to religious organizations,” U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler for the Southern District of Indiana said in a press release. Payne-Elliott’s lawyer, Kathleen DeLaney, said Tuesday the briefs were filed well past their Aug. 17 deadline, which was one of the reasons she and her client planned to ask the state Supreme Court to refuse to consider them. She said she was unsurprised by the Department of Justice brief because the organization had intervened in the case last fall when it was in the Marion Superior Court. Hill's brief, however, seems to DeLaney to go against his statutory duty as Attorney General to represent state officials. "The judge has handled the case impartially without bias,” DeLaney said. “He has lived up to his duty as a judge. In my opinion, this is character assassination because the people on the other side of this case don’t like the way it’s going for them.” DeLaney said the church is also using emergency filings in an attempt to bypass the normal trial process and bring the case straight to the Indiana Supreme Court. “If it really were an emergency, it was an emergency a year ago," DeLaney said. "And calling it an emergency now after they lost key rulings rings hollow.” In addition, DeLaney said the archdiocese’s demands were interfering with the relationship between Payne-Elliott and his employer, as Cathedral renewed his contract three times while knowing about his relationship. “Not every Catholic school, or member of the Catholic faith, for that matter," DeLaney said, "thinks that gay teachers shouldn’t be allowed in their schools.” DeLaney expects more legal briefs to be filed in the case this week. The deadline to respond to briefs is Monday.

Extra stuff? 😀 You mean blitz packages and things like that right?

Humility....an Irish quality I always appreciate.

Norwegian lawmaker nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize: https://apnews.com/4ec1ce1ff6cf9d7321d9cad200650e2c lol, the likes of CNN and MSNBC appear to be melting down at the moment over this. Quite funny.

It’s all good. Although there has been a dearth of Region presence at LOS in recent years (with the exception of Lowell), athletics are (where have I said this be?) very cyclical thing. You could very well see Andrean, Hobart, Merrillville, and Valpo make noise in thus year’s tournament. Beyond that, Crown Point, Hammond Morton, Lake Central, Munster, and Whiting (in addition to many others) have the potential to do something.

I have given up any hope of getting tickets for this game, I understood the 350 tickets made available to Cathedral were gone in minutes. I do know of some Cathedral folks that scalped tickets off Carmel folks a few weeks back, but given the small venue I will be patient as the next three games will be at Arlington against the Big Boys from Ohio. And totally agree, I wish both schools would have worked something out to have this game at a large venue which both schools (especially Chatard since they are home team) would reap the financial benefits of doing so!

Bump - so it stays on the first page and @hhpatriot04doesn't get confused again. 😀

Going to be honest. Not trying to be nasty....but puzzled by the general overall uncompetitive nature of the area. If I were some dude from outside the State and I had to go to Indianapolis every year for the last 15-20 years for Thanksgiving and my in-laws insisted we go see the Indiana HS Football State Championships all those weekends, I wouldn’t recognize any single name of any High School listed in the above references (I would recognize Lowell...but they weren’t mentioned). None....nada. I would know the names of a LOT of teams in Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, South Bend and the Evansville Area. Hell, I’d know the name of a school in Southeast Indiana who’s town is the equivalent of postage stamp (East Central). Why is the “Region”, almost alone, simply not competitive? Unless you folks want to claim Rensselaer along with Lowell.

The Case for Private Education Co-operatives https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/case-for-private-education-co-operatives/ Members of a community, whether religious, ethnic, or merely geographic, would ban together and pool their resources so that each could have access to quality health care. This stands in contrast to the public-insurance model, whereby resources are forcibly confiscated by the taxman and decisions concerning their use are referred to distant bureaucrats and political commissars. Why not revive the model of private association in the context of education? Most parents send their kids to public school only because private schools are too expensive. But if churches, neighborhoods, and nonprofits formed private education co-operatives, in which poorer parents could draw on community resources in the context of face-to-face relationships and voluntary solidarity, communities across the country could begin to declare independence from government education. At the moment, poorer parents largely do not draw on the financial resources of their community. Community is voluntary, face-to-face, human, accountable, and local. By contrast, government welfare is impersonal, uncaring, unaccountable, and coercive. It bequeaths material resources to recipients, but without any bonds of human relationship or mutual emotional investment. Even the word we use to describe this process, “entitlements,” connotes a relationship between the benefactor and the recipient that is far weaker than those in a community where money is exchanged on a voluntary basis. Because the government takes everyone’s taxes and puts them in one big pot and then spends this undifferentiated lump of money in the form of “government outlays,” the people who receive government funds generally have no idea who in particular is paying for the services they’re receiving. Government places itself between giver and receiver and annihilates the individual relationship between the two. The result is that the human element in this exchange of material resources is completely erased. If communities throughout the country were to form private education co-operatives, poorer parents could put a name and a face to the funds that are propelling their sons and daughters to academic heights. Richer benefactors would also be able to witness how their wealth can enrich their community — a moralizing experience in itself that might serve as a social check against the materialist excesses of consumerism. A local association of churches, for example, should have, as a part of its ministry, a Christian education co-operative. A sizable portion of each congregation’s tithe and financial donations could be channeled into the co-operative fund so that members of the church who could not otherwise afford to send their child to a Christian private school would have the same opportunity as the congregation’s wealthier members. After all, if a Christian church cannot voluntarily redress the disparities in wealth among its members, then what institution will? This is not to say that co-operative enterprises like this would have to be religious in nature or motivation. Any and all kinds of communities should form these co-ops. The kaleidoscopic nature of America’s social variety is (along with its geographic variety) is one of the most enchanting and remarkable things about this country. There’s no reason why there shouldn’t be as many kinds of private schools as there are American ways of life. We have become so used to the idea of government education that it does not strike us nearly as oddly as it should. For centuries, American parents have simply handed their children over to the state once they reach school age, much in the same way that they hand over the garbage when they take it to the side of the road. The negative consequences of this model are too numerous to list here. But, as I noted above, parents across the nation are experiencing some of them right now as the teachers’ unions threaten to stop work if their conditions are not met. As long as the poor and the working class have no better option than to give their children over to the state for six hours a day, public education will always have an outsized and pernicious influence on our national life. The better-off parents among us cannot be content with simply sending our own children to private school and leaving the poor to suffer what they must at the hands of bureaucrats. An enlightened libertarianism will always seek to replace welfare with charity, and state coercion with voluntary community. The idea of private education co-operatives accords with every great American tradition of social action. It is local, voluntary, anti-statist, aspirational, enterprising, and infused with the spirit of moral mission that animated all of our great reformers. It is the kind of endeavor that would bring a knowing smile of recognition to the face of Alexis de Tocqueville. After all, the great Frenchman would surely recognize it as quintessentially characteristic of those restless colonial reformers at the edge of the known world whom he so admired when he came to these shores. The only question left to ask Americans today is, “What are you waiting for?”

Absolutely and that is how it used to be! I know locally they do a great job of working together but in past years and past coaches it wasn't that way. Listen most local schools do not pay very well for the time spent coaching. To many coaches hire buddies instead of qualified coaches who could really help at the different levels and or with different responsibilities. There just doesn't seem to be the ALL-IN belief there used to be!

I agree with your theory and technical thoughts. I would imagine it will be.

The cancel culture is common on this forum. Threads are locked for supposed "political" purposes yet not a single word was posted in the entire thread about politics. #CNN #MSNBC #Redditt

No kidding, stay on point! It’s unfortunate that this is happening to MC, hopefully they’ll be playing by the time Sectionals roll around.

So far, I am not seeing any evidence of this. It’s not listed as playing on IHSAATV or affiliates. Chatard did webcast the East Central home game on Facebook a couple of weeks ago but I’ve seen no announcement regarding this as of yet, either. In theory (note....”theory”), this is a game between No. 3 and No. 5 per Maxpreps/Calpreps and should technically (note....”technically”) constitute the premier game this weekend in Indiana.

Correct. Each year expires on July 1st i believe. Red names are the current booster color

Center Grove 63 Ben Davis 0 Warren Central 14 Lawrence Central 7 Lawrence North 21 North Central 20 Pike 35 Carmel 34 Center Grove scores 49 in the first half. However, look for BD to upset CG in Semi-State this year. You heard it here first!! Warren Central pulls through on this one. The defense is good enough to carry them this game. LN - LC is a rivalry game, so conventional wisdom goes out the window on those games. Not sure what to think about LN or North Central at this point.... Pike is hungry for a win and they pull off the upset this week.

Ohio State offered Floyd Central offensive lineman Zenuae Michalski today

Hmm...I don't know about that. They've played two of the best teams in the state so far. I think they're better than at least Pike and LC. I guess we'll find out as the year continues. I think the Warriors (and BD) are works in progress.

I wouldn't say both are likely to be undefeated coming into that game. Both could be undefeated but it's not likely. that being said overwhelming favorites to win their class championship is very true. North Central and Lawrence North won't be walks in the park by any means for the Trojan's, those are the only 2 teams I can see that will pose a challenge prior to week 9. For the Irish they have their rival Chatard this week and it doesn't matter who the more talented team is it is always a war. Even so the Irish also have 3 Ohio teams from the GCL South on the schedule. Having a regular season blemish for either team will A. provide even more fire B. help them learn from mistakes against another very talented team.

Coming soon......................

I agree. I don't feel bad for the kid.. at this point if you support trump. You are a racist.
