The sun goes down, the lights come on and for several hours you can be lost in the ambiance of a High School game.

IMHO a better name and mascot than a generic, run of the mill Panther. Those are a dime a dozen.

This coach spoke at the Indy Glazier clinic a few years ago. he starts off by saying, 'now we got the same kids y'all got' so this can work anywhere. Then as he goes through the film to show examples. he starts pointing to particular kids saying where they have offers.........there were a LOT of SEC offers on that roster. lol yeah, he has the same kids we do.

Sponsors should be able to pay for the cost of the webcast I’ve watched many games free via Facebook because of the generous sponsors from the city of whiting.

I acknowledge that webcasts are the wave of the future. I can’t help but think it will detract significantly from the in-stadium atmosphere. I have been going to high school football games for over 50 years. One of the greatest aspects of the whole experience is the energy generated by a supportive crowd cheering their team on. Really sorry to see that going away. But I see it as an inevitable consequence of the increasing broadcast coverage.

Hammond could name the school after certain posters on this board who constantly seek attention. Ladies and gentleman I give you the Hammond Trolls.

They call those "reefers" in the logistics industry, but I could see why that may not fly lol. George Hammond also ran one of the largest meat packing pants in the Midwest at the time with the largest plant being in Hammond although Hammond Packers isn't that innovative.

WORST thing they could of done was take away 5 SUB VARSITY quarters a week and made it 4. Really has put us in a bind some weeks

With last year most school charging for webcast to help make up some of the money they lost at the gate on tickets sale, and this year hopefully we will back to full stands. Should schools this year charge for webcast? In truth I have no problem with if 1. It is a good quality 2. If the people doing the game know what there are tanking about and have done some kind of homework or the teams. Also If a school is going to charge I would like to see them do a package deal for the season to go with the game by game purchase.

I hadn't seen her play before this year. She's good defensively at 3B and her bat is coming around. I think next year she'll probably be their shortstop. The big game now is (barring a sectional upset) Crown Point at Lake Central....for the regional title on June 1...I think the winner of that game gets to the state title game.

It was a weak choice, DT....and there are two others Wolves already in NW Indiana. I wanted the school to continue to be Hammond high as well. (and as you know, 'Bulldogs' is taken. I just wanted to send you a couple of photos of someone you may know. The battle for softball supremacy in Lake County goes on!)

You know, you and I have gone on about this topic before. The more you and I chatted (THANK YOU), the more and more I agree w/ your assessment.

I joke with friends that the renovation of Soldier Field was so hideous, it jinxed the team. 🤣

City of Hammond is named after George Hammond. He was the man who invented refrigerated railroad cars. They should be called the Hammond Ice Trains.

What’s the big deal? New school, new nickname. Same thing happened when Elston and Rogers consolidated in Michigan City. Ditto for Central and Memorial in Elkhart. Nothing to see here. Move along.

If it's true , it is just more proof he had this in mind for quite some time. For damage control, A A Ron needs to man up and say something. It makes it look even more petty if little stuff like this keeps leaking. AND, the fact is this is NOT coming from the Packers front office, just like I don't believe any of the leaks so far have.

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

More than Merrillville's 2020 class??
