Contraction, but no one has told the school yet?

I believe they call this grasping at straws ?

I don't think Mishawaka is a cakewalk

I propose an entry on the GID and it's history.

Was thinking the same thing. Looked it over about 10 times and thought I was crazy

tough job ahead you have a basketball school Hammond combining with a soccer school clark. Hudak has won at lake station so anything is possible. https://www.nwitimes.com/sports/high-school/hammond-central-hires-adam-hudak-as-first-football-coach-morton-hires-aaron-abram-as-boys/article_fc531b8e-ae68-545e-a976-bbd44afe21df.html

But I'm pretty sure I've updated everyone that's getting turf this coming year. Was a little worn the last time we played at Enlow. I loved the stadium though. I would have loved it more if Lindauer would have gotten the flu. Shew.. he could play. And both Combs, obviously.

Please. I know it was a long time ago. Many, if not most of you reading this were not even alive then. But we must never forget what happens when a government turns on its own citizens. Don’t let what happened that day pass from our collective memory and become simply an historical footnote.

The sight of American soldiers carrying M-1 rifles loaded with live ammo and fixed bayonets confronting college protestors on a college campus still turns my stomach ... 51 years later. It’s impossible to explain what those times were like to someone who didn’t live through it. https://youtu.be/JCS-g3HwXdc

Yeah I think there were some changes made this morning. Shortridge is no longer listed in 1A like @Bear54 pointed out, and I see Yorktown in Sectional 28 as well. My class count shows changes too so that makes sense there were some moves: 6A: 30 5A: 37 4A: 61 3A: 62 (Yorktown and another addition?) 2A: 63 1A: 62 (Shortridge removed)

I just clicked on it. They are in 28. Maybe it was fixed this am?

Especially when they get all the playoff tourney games at home.

Zionsville is the defending 5A northern champion and will be the team to beat with Dwenger and Snider close behind. They return top Rusher, WR, and 4 out 5 OL(that includes a Notre Dame committal) and top 2 tacklers on defense plus they play in the HCC.

Or CG had to play a team that has two weeks of rest and time to prep for a game

https://www.mediaite.com/news/ca-woman-tells-latino-cop-hes-a-murderer-and-says-youre-always-gonna-be-a-mexican-youll-never-be-white-during-traffic-stop/ CA Woman Tells Latino Cop He’s a ‘Murderer’ and Says ‘You’re Always Gonna Be a Mexican, You’ll Never Be White’ During Traffic Stop By Michael LucianoMay 3rd, 2021, 8:45 pm 687 comments Body camera footage from a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy captured an interaction with a motorist who repeatedly told the officer, who is Latino, that he’s a “murderer.” The footage was posted by Fox News’ Bill Melugin, who says he has identified the woman in the exchange but is choosing not to release her name at the moment. The ugly incident happened in San Dimas, CA on April 23 (assuming the body camera’s time stamp is accurate) when a deputy pulled over a motorist for allegedly using her cell phone while driving, which is against the law. As the officer approaches the vehicle, the driver says she was going under the speed limit, which he acknowledges and tells her that wasn’t the issue. “I pulled you over because–” “You’re a murderer,” she interrupts while also recording him. Later, in true Karen fashion she asks, “And can you call your supervisor, please?” The motorist accuses the deputy of “harassing” her, telling him, “You scared me and made me think you were going to murder me.” “Ok, well, I’m sorry you feel that way,” he replies. “Well that’s not just a feeling. You’re a murderer.” “Ok.” Later she says, “I’m perfectly legal and I’m a teacher.” “Congratulations,” says the deputy. “You’re a murderer.” She later claims, “You’re threatening to kill me and my son,” who apparently is also in the car during the stop. The deputy asks if the car she’s driving is hers. “Yes it is. You’re trying to say I stole my own car because you’re jealous? Is that what that’s about?” The deputy’s supervisor arrives and informs the woman she’s being cited only for using her phone while driving. Throughout the exchange the deputy remains remarkably stolid. Melugin said on Twitter that Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told him that he’s “proud of his deputy for staying calm and professional during this interaction.” Melugin also notes that the San Dimas station of the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department doesn’t officially have body cameras yet, but this deputy invested in one for himself. As for the motorist, Melugin reports she has been a professor at Los Angeles-area schools and that she has a history of filing complaints against officers. This time was no different. After the stop, she called the Sheriff’s Department to file a harassment complaint against the deputy. No where in this story is the woman's race mentioned........in case you are wondering, she is a POC, African American, Black.......I truly don't believe this is what Dr. MLK had in mind So SF was informed a number of years ago on this very forum that a POC couldn't be racist............AND - I think I have been vindicated......

https://www.natlawreview.com/article/president-biden-issues-proclamation-adding-india-to-covid-19-travel-restrictions-us President Biden Issues Proclamation Adding India to COVID-19 Travel Restrictions (US) Monday, May 3, 2021 On April 30, 2021, the President issued another Proclamation suspending entry into the United States of nonimmigrants and noncitizens who were physically present within the Republic of India during the 14-day period preceding their attempted entry into the United States. These restrictions take effect at 12:01 am EDT on May 4, 2021 and remain in effect until terminated by order of the President. The scope of this Proclamation is similar to those issued by President Trump covering China, Iran, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the European Schengen Area, and Brazil. On January 25, 2021, President Biden signed a Proclamation continuing the suspension of entry of certain travelers from these countries and added South Africa. The following categories of individuals are exempted from the entry restrictions: U.S. citizens, noncitizen nationals and lawful permanent residents; Spouse of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident; Parent or legal guardian of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, if the U.S. citizen or permanent resident is unmarried and under the age of 21; Sibling of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, provided that both are unmarried and under the age of 21; Child, foster child, or ward of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, or who is a prospective adoptee seeking to enter the United States pursuant to the IR-4 or IH-4 visa classifications; Noncitizen (foreign national) traveling at the invitation of the U.S. government for a purpose related to containment or mitigation of the virus; Nonimmigrant crewmembers holding C-1, D or C-1/D nonimmigrant visas; Noncitizen seeking entry or transiting the United States under an A-1, A-2, C-2, C-3, G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, NATO-1 through NATO-4 or NATO-6 visa; Noncitizen whose entry would further important United States law enforcement objectives; or Noncitizen whose entry would be in the national interest as determined by the Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security or their designees. While the National Interest Exception (NIE), referenced in the last bullet point, has been included in all of the geographic Proclamations issued since February 2020, the qualifying criteria has evolved over time. One could even say, the definition of “national interest” has mutated. Per recent guidance issued by the State Department, national interest includes travelers “who are seeking to provide vital support for critical infrastructure sectors” or seeking to enter the United States “for purposes related to humanitarian travel, public health response, and national security.” In addition, the State Department has determined the following individuals automatically qualify for an NIE: Fiancé(e)s. Students and certain academics covered by exchange visitor programs; students with academic programs beginning August 1, 2021 or later; students with valid F-1 and M-1 visas intending to begin or continue an academic program from August 1, 2021 or later; Journalists. Pilots and aircrew traveling to the United States for training or aircraft pickup, delivery, or maintenance. Certain J-1 exchange visitors, including: Au pair caring for children of U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or nonimmigrants when the au pair possesses special skills required for a child with particular needs (e.g., medical, special education, or sign language); Au pair that prevents a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or other nonimmigrant from becoming a public health charge or ward of the state or of a medical or other public funded institution; Au pair providing childcare services for a child whose parents are involved with the provision of medical care to individuals who have contracted COVID-19 or COVID-19 related medical research at United States facilities; Travel for an exchange program conducted pursuant to an MOU, Statement of Intent, or other valid agreement or arrangement between a foreign government and the U.S. government designed to promote U.S. national interests if the agreement or arrangement with the foreign government was in effect prior to June 24, 2020; Interns and Trainees on U.S. government agency-sponsored programs; Specialized Teachers in Accredited Educational Institutions with a program number beginning with “G-5” on Form DS-2019; Travel in support of critical foreign policy objectives; limited to exchange visitors participating in a small number of exchange programs that fulfill critical and time sensitive foreign policy objectives, per the State Department guidelines; and Derivative family members accompanying noncitizen who is excepted from or otherwise not subject to the Proclamation and who is engaging in certain types of long-term employment, studies, or research of four weeks or longer. NIEs have become increasingly difficult to obtain in recent months, particularly for standard business visitors, but even for many workers on visas related to critical infrastructure sectors, with the Department of State often determining that their activities can be properly conducted remotely or that the connection to critical infrastructure is insufficient. Did anyone else notice the difference from the left on this latest travel ban from President Biden? SF thought the left believed ALL travel bans were racist.......

Pike yes. North Central, Lake Central no. They don't have the same SES.

You'd think they would be in 28 ?? only 7 teams listed , an omission?

Someone needs a lesson in geography. Why do you have Concord and Goshen in sectional 11? They should be in sectional 10, while moving Mi City to sectional 9. Stupid.

I am just damned happy that we have LEGITIMATE Football to discuss, rather than the pontificating about "coaching moves, Conference re-alignments (dreams)...etc"

Well I think most coaches will probably want to play instead of getting that double bye. Taking 2 weeks off could be very bad for a team. 5A has a 6team sectional also...just odd

A dude from Cathedral downplaying enrollment and SES is the ultimate "out of sight, out of mind" type of nonsense. SES and enrollment are the top two factors in a coaching staff's ABILITY to build the culture you speak of. (By the way, the answer to your statement about Carmel is Morgan Newton who went to Kentucky...now do Noblesville.)

I actually know they are in the process of interviewing candidates.

love this thread

So, Warren Central and Warsaw are hooking up on the football field. Cool.

https://mises.org/wire/how-trillions-newly-printed-money-created-labor-shortgage Even government employers—who tend to offer more job security and a lot more vacation time than private firms—are offering extra cash to get more applicants in the door. Millions of Workers Have Also Left the Labor Force An endless stream of unemployment checks isn’t the only thing fueling the worker shortage. Record numbers of Americans are leaving the labor force entirely. In January 2020, 96 million American adults were outside the labor force. That shot up to 104 million in April of last year. But as businesses opened up and increased hours, there were still 100 million Americans not in the labor force. In other words, over the past year an additional 4 million workers exited the labor force. These people are not actively looking for work, are not on unemployment, and are not factored into the unemployment rate. Of the 100 million adult Americans who are out of the labor force, 6.5 million say they “want a job now.” Yet, for whatever reason they're not collecting any wages, even in a time when we're being told anyone can walk into a restaurant and get immediately hired. In other words: yes, millions of Americans are being paid to stay home, but that's not the whole picture. Millions more have given up looking for work altogether. The Illusion of GDP Growth This contrasts with the rosy picture of employment that the regime is now trying to paint. For example, we’re being told that the employment situation is excellent because the headline unemployment rate has fallen over the past year from 14.4 percent to 6.2 percent. That’s certainly a big improvement, but it also suggests that the number of unemployed job seekers remains high. An unemployment rate of 6.2 percent, after all, puts unemployment at a higher level than anything experienced between 1994 and 2008. It’s not exactly a “low” rate, and it’s nearly double the unemployment rate of April 2019 (3.3 percent). The narrative of an employment boom is so sketchy that even Fed personnel—i.e., Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari—admits the unemployment rate is more like 9.5 percent. And then there’s the unconvincing overall narrative of economic growth. As noted last week by Daniel Lacalle, one should naturally expect big increases in GDP when massive amounts of monetary stimulus have been pumped into the economy. GDP is based largely on spending, and spending goes up as trillions of new dollars are printed. Lacalle writes: A Temporary Labor Bubble So why the labor shortage? As with GDP overall, it's helpful to look to money printing as a partial explanation—we should absolutely expect to see a surge in demand for employment as a result of the central bank printing up trillions of dollars. In our money printing–based economy, printed money is being substituted for production. Thus, millions of workers can stay home while demand remains steady, or even increases. Idle workers still have a lot of dollars to spend. Demand continues upward even as production falls. Contrast this with how a labor market works in a normal economy. In a normal economy, the fact millions of workers are electing to stay home rather than produce anything should have a depressing or stabilizing effect on the demand for labor. That is, 10 million or so idle workers would mean workers have far fewer dollars to spend. This in turn would mean less demand for goods and services such as restaurant meals and retail sales. This would then tend to keep wages flat as well. As Say’s law reminds us, production must precede demand in a functioning economy. It is the act of producing goods and services which produces the income necessary to increase demand. So what are the prospects for this labor bubble? In the short term we can hazard some guesses about what happens. Demand is likely to continue to increase, as is price inflation. As Warren Buffet recently highlighted at a shareholder meeting, "We are seeing very substantial inflation…. We are raising prices. People are raising prices to us and it's being accepted." In the medium and long term this will mean reduced purchasing power for those relying on unemployment checks. How the employment bubble will play out beyond this summer, however, will depend somewhat on whether the federal government again extends benefits and at what payment level. If benefits remain flat, then the real value of benefits will decline and at least some workers are likely to more enthusiastically seek work again. In any case, we're still in the early stages of a boom fueled by unprecedented amounts of money creation. Trillions have flowed into households via "stimulus" checks and unemployment checks. Yet although there are growing signs of price inflation, consumer prices in many cases are still adjusting to the new realities of money supply greatly outpacing production. For those looking for a chance to build some job experience, now is the time to do it. This wage and employment bubble is unlikely to last. Another excellent analysis by Mr. McMaken. This bubble will burst, as all bubble do. And it will cause pain and suffering for our children and grandchildren.

We can only hope.
