School City of Mishawaka is a pretty confined school district. My wife is a teacher in SCM, elementary, middle school kids walk to the neighbor school, and high school will walk, take city bus, parents or drive themselves. They do have 6-8 buses for transpo of athletic teams and other school functions.

The fact that Russia launched an attack on a foreign nation just doesn't bother you, does it?

Penn still has over 800 kid classes and plenty of Rocket football players pouring into the feeder schools. Their parents,fans,faculty & administration still live off of the state championship caliber teams that Geesman had annually from late 70s to his retirement in 2002. They still think that Penn is on that level sadly. Those teams always overperformed and outcoached more talented teams to win those championships. Dont get me wrong, they had a few D1 kids on some of those teams but it was a system and a belief of success in that system (The Penn Way)that the kids bought into. The kids just arent buying/believing(take your pick) into the coaching philosophy from the current coaching staff who mostly played here under Geesman. Penn has not won a state championship in 22 years. People on here think it will never happen again because the 6A suburban Indy schools now go north in the tourney but Penn always had to go through Carmel and Ben Davis at some point. Geesman finally realized he had to upgrade the schedule and went out of state and scheduled Ben Davis in reg season so they could see the speed of the game difference from NIC to late round playoff competition. It paid off with competive games and state championships. Yeoman has tried that schedule upgrade formula. Penn even has more openings now than that 1 game vs Ben Davis or St. Ignatius thanks to the split divisions in the NIC. This should help the program catch up again to the 6A elite but the program just hasnt reponded to it like it did in the mid 90s. That Penn mystique when they hit the field and dominate your opponent confidence is gone now. Losing to 3A and 4A teams will do that to a HS kid's confidence wondering "how do we compete against the Indy schools"? Penn haters are loving this era and rightfully so. A program facelift needed. Baby steps are needed. 1st,Dominate in the NIC again. 2nd,Beat Duneland schools again. 3rd, Be competetive against 6A. 4th and finally, maybe compete for state. That is a long road to travel with a coach who is 60 now. Time will tell if "The Gold Rush" and "Wild Bunch" are just old glory day memories of years gone by.....

Our 220 is a football player. He weighed 3 lbs. over Sunday at the Indy Nationals so he ended up wrestling in the 285 division. He finished 2nd out of the 26.

Why do some football coaches still think that you have to lose weight to wrestle. As a wrestling coach and football coach, this is the one thing that drives me nuts about some football coaches. With the weight management plan that is involved with high school wrestling, the days of not eating and wearing plastics are over.

Where EXACTLY did @Muda69 say what you are accusing him of saying? Show us with FACTS that what he said, "What Mr. Carlson doesn't mention is that with U.S conflict (and military spending) in the Middle East now virtually over the Military-Industrial-Complex needs another boogeyman, and Mr. Putin & Russia are it." is incorrect. I can't speak for @Muda69, but I can tell you that the Russian attacks on Ukraine bother me as much as all the Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots, burning, looting, murdering did.

I don’t think that means what you think it does.

And a lot longer than W. The more and more I research and learn, the more I realize how detrimental Woodrow Wilson was, and his policies continue to be, for the United States.
