https://nypost.com/2021/04/06/mlb-just-moved-all-star-game-to-a-state-with-tighter-voting-rules/ Major League Baseball has tapped Denver as its replacement All-Star Game site instead of Atlanta — even though Colorado’s voting rules are slightly more restrictive than Georgia’s new ones. Even without the Peach State’s optional two Sundays for early voting, it offers two more such days than the Centennial State. Both ask for photo ID for absentee ballots, while accepting basically the same substitutes. Both ban electioneering activists from handing out free food or drinks. The only real plus (by Democrats’ standards) is that Colorado mails out universal absentee ballots (with ID and signature requirements for it to count), but experts say that makes a minimal difference in how many actually vote. (Heck, the New York Times’ Nate Cohn says Georgia’s new law does basically nothing to restrict turnout.) This makes MLB more woke for shifting the lucrative event from a majority-black city to one that’s less than 10 percent black? Basically, this shows that baseball’s leaders are not only cowardly for going along with pressure from President Biden and other Democrats, but just plain dumb. Yep - just plain dumb......

Good question as Success Factor timeline has usually been locked to the enrollment number reclassification too ... killing two birds at the same time so to speak. In this case here, I suspect that the two options that we'll see are 1) three-year Success Factor if enrollment classification comes out next year or 2) the IHSAA will announce this time next year that they are holding off on enrollment reclassification for one more year and that will then put everything back in order based on the past patterning. The one other option that I don't see IHSAA doing would be enrollment reclassification next year and doing the success Factor reclassification the following year as that would make some type of reclassification an annual occurrence: in odd years it would be Success Factor related and in even years it would be enrollment related.

But is Ritter a Christian school? (For a good time, bring up the "Are Catholics Christian?" question at your in-laws over dinner.) 😄

I think we had this conversation during the tournament as to whether CC was pulling (or might pull) players from Ritter. The answer put forth at the time by those closest was a resounding “No”. Has Ritter lost players these last several years? Most likely - but not to CC.

A March 10th report from The Washington Post explains how “more than 8,500 migrant teens and children who crossed the border without their parents are being housed in Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)” and “nearly 3,500 more are stuck at Border Patrol stations waiting for beds in those shelters to open up.” These numbers constitute “the highest figure ever, according to internal data reviewed by The Washington Post.” In contrast, under the Trump administration, the largest number of unaccompanied minors being detained was roughly 2,600: Held in grim steel-and-concrete cells built for adults, these young people are spending an average of 107 hours awaiting transfer to an HHS-run shelter, well over the 72-hour legal limit, the data shows. The largest number of unaccompanied minors held this way during the Trump administration was about 2,600 in June 2019, according to congressional testimony and two former Customs and Border Protection officials who were involved in handling that crisis. That’s nearly five times as many unaccompanied children being held illegally under President Biden as compared to President Trump. And the disparity is still increasing; A March 31st report from ABC News reveals there are 17,641 unaccompanied migrant minors in government care, which equals an increase of roughly 50 percent in just three weeks. “As of a Tuesday report, there are 17,641 unaccompanied migrant minors in government care — 5,606 children are in CBP custody and 12,035 in the care of the Department of Human and Health Services, CBP told ABC News,” the article notes. The most recent data dump means the Biden regime is detaining nearly seven times as many unaccompanied minors as the Trump administration. The unearthed numbers also undercut President Biden’s narrative that the current border surge is part of a seasonal migration pattern. Meanwhile, AOC and her ilk are still silent. A "Seasonal Migration Pattern"? Are we talking about birds here? Come on man......

We would love to do that again, as well, in Ranger Land. Still bummed about the IHSAA "frozen enrollment," as we would have had a really good shot at being down to 1A. Obviously, understand how/why this happened. 8 starters back on both sides of the ball, many with 2-3 years of varsity experience, 13 incoming seniors, just bad timing. Oh well, we just hope to be competitive in the conference and keep the culture/expectations moving the direction, they are currently heading.

That’s my question as well

I think the issue is you had more important things on your mind Bob,at that time. Being studious, Law school , money for school.You had tunnel vision let’s say. Iu Basketball was an important release but very secondary. Where as I ,being a senior in the business school, but majoring in extracurricular activities, had complete focus on indiana sports. Thus it was an easy catch for me. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Reminds me of the story of Fordham football. Vince Lombardi's Senior season (the time of the 7 blocks of granite on the offensive line), they were playing for a spot in the Rose Bowl. They ended up losing the game....another interesting story.....But at that point, University leaders decided to de emphasize football. They never did recover from that decision. This is all detailed in a biography about Lombardi titled "When Pride Still Mattered". It is still one of the best football books I have read.

Guessing LCC will replace WeBo in 2A. WeBo will replace Chatard in 3A. And Chatard will move into 7 team, Roncalli 4A sectional. Hammond schools will stay where they are. Columbus East and FW Snider will return to 5A and make 5 team sectionals. Pretty easy transition for IHSAA.
