Any update on how Coach Barron is doing?

When was the last time St Joe and Penn played and they were both 2-4?
Not sure the answer to this, but I didn't realize until putzing around on the John Harrel site, Penn's 4 losses all come from undefeated teams.

The main person spearheading the vote no campaign is the director of the Career Academy. Go figure
Anything to do with Charter schools being able to buy a closed public school for a $1?

In the Fall, perhaps Leaf Raking service or in winter, snow shovel removal
This could go horribly wrong. Remove everyone's snow shovels and then the snow comes back?!?

Allen has a distinct advantage with “Indiana’s best” marginal high school players , to the disadvantage of the smaller schools. It’s a Lot easier for these kids to accept a walk on to IU ,than try to get the help needed from parents and coaches to amassing film , statistics ,data necessary to cull a scoli from these other schools. Some don’t have the help or no one will give them the help.
That is a slap in the face to the majority of coaches that will bend over backwards to help get their kids into a school and, in particular, one that fits. With the advent of Hudl and Maxpreps (and others), access to film, stats, data, etc is easier than ever before.
I guess i am just disappointed in the laziness of the football players in our state who keep choosing the "easier" route as a walk-on. 🙄

....and they wind up riding the bench for 5 years and never getting a sniff of game action, when perhaps a fulfilling career at ISU or BSU or NIU would have been much more rewarding.
Why couldnt it be just as rewarding for that guy who never sniffed action? Maybe they are at their dream school, suiting up for the team they have wanted to play for since they were little? Every day they are out there practicing, weightlifting, attending meetings, etc....maybe the role on Saturday's isnt what they dreamed, but they are still there, living out the path that 18 year old them led them down.
The same could be said for the guy that chooses a smaller school and ends up starting for 4 years instead of taking the WO route. It is rewarding because it was his route and his choices.

I would venture to guess 1/3 or more of these walk ons would be getting everything paid for at other schools. Getting the best talent in the state has nothing to do with depleting the available talent for other non-major school in the state.
I don't understand your argument here:
School A - "we like you and want you to be a walk on"
School B - " we like you and want to offer you a full sholarship"
Student-Athlete - " i want to take my chances at school A"
The student saw what options they had and made a choice. Until Saban turns a kid down in order to boost Chattahoochee Valley Community College's program, i think this is a non-issue.

Welcome to the IFCA, son!

Preferred walk on roster for Indiana University is bulging at the seams with Indiana kids. Depleting the available instate athletes for smaller state colleges and universities. including ,but not Limited to.other In state D1schools. Most of these kids will never see the light of day in their career at IU. whether Allen thinks he’s being generous or what. This is not a good thing.
I too am disappointed and dumbfounded that a Big Ten coach would go out and try to get the best talent in the state on his roster. 🙄
First IU didnt recruit enough in state, now he is taking too many guys. Can't have it both ways. Some of these kids have D1/Big Ten dreams and this may be the only route to pursue those dreams. More power to them!

I have heard thru the grapevine that Crawfordsville may be willing to trade their endzone cameras for the headsets.
That is because the frequency interferes with MOST endzone cameras!

This is a real possibility. I know Jimtown numbers are lowering every year. This might lead to an uptick. Interesting to see what happens.
Definite possibility. Could be advantageous for a few schools...Jimtown, Concord, Northridge at first glance, potentially Penn, Edwardsburg, SJ, Marian

I think Glenn is the team to beat in the South this year. They return some good players, Jimtown loses talent, and Marian is moving to the North.
Glenn showed some signs of life at times and then did things to make you scratch your head. It would be nice to see a solid season from the Falcons. Bremen was young and should be exponentially better this year. Jimtown and Washington had a lot of seniors so will need to rebuild in a hurry. Riley could be sitting in a nice spot heading into the fall.

Recent woes at Clay make that a tough sell. It would be nice if a young coach from the area could take it over and turn it around but i could see building an experienced staff being difficult in this scenario.
Jimtown is a totally different bird.This is an important hire at this time....admins must decide whether they want to keep with the Baugo faithful and what they have known or branch out in their thinking/style of play. I think this is a tough hire but hopefully they find their right man.
-
Jimtown and Clay jobs still open. Any word on timetables for filling either of these spots? With interim coach at Riley this year, 3 of the NIC South will have new HC's. Should be a wide open battle for top spot in the South.

Not all high school coaches get the same pieces to put together though. For example, not every coach has an endzone camera to film their games and practices. Even those who do may not have a top of the line model, like the Hi-Pod X31.
For a lot of coaches, it's like entering a cake baking contest with only half the needed ingredients.
So put a multiplier on the ingredients and everything will be better? And if a cookie does well in the contest too often, he should compete against cakes?
I am not naive, obviously not all coaches are handed the same deck...hell, that can be from year to year at some schools. However, It is disingenuous to say the earlier commenter meant because of recruiting when saying "put the pieces together".

They must not like the pieces they were already given! Please do not be naive enough to say it does not happen! How many public schools hold open houses?
Why aren't public schools holding open houses? Especially if they are participating in open enrollment? Our SB magnet programs hold open houses so, by your insinuation, the 4 SB schools should be state champs.

When you say "put together". Does that mean he recruited one of Chatard's historically best teams? Typically high school coaches do not put together football teams, they are already there waiting on them.
Aren't all high school coaches given the pieces and then charged with putting them together?
But that doesn't go along with another boring, soft toss recruiting allegation....

I heard this from an assistant there a couple weeks ago. With the rumors of a school closing will anyone be interested?
I can't imagine it drawing too much interest with the rumors of a school closing already.
Would a job like this be a good stepping stone for someone who wants to be a head coach or would this be a hindrance to future head coaching jobs, assuming there isnt a huge turnaround in success on the field?

It looks like the Clay job is posted on the SBCSC website. Anyone else hear this?

Looking forward to this weekend's game. Any Marian fans on here?
Also: how is the tailgating scene? Any bar/restaurant recommendations?
Downtown Mishawaka, Prized Pig is a new BBQ joint...pick up your tailgating meat there and head back to Roc's (also right downtown) after the game.
Southside of SB, where you will get off of 31 has BW's, WIngs Etc, Hacienda, and the usual Applebees/McD's/etc.

Marian - Elkhart Game Cancelled
in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Posted · Edited by SBFootball1
I don't know, maybe you could be rushing to judgment and they did what was in the best interest of everyone involved due to the late timeframe and fluidity of the situation. If they played and a situation occurred where one or both of the teams were then sidelined going into the playoffs, that would have been a tragedy for all involved. I highly doubt a team that just beat Penn was intimidated by Elkhart. It takes your school being in existence longer than 6 games to all of a sudden be the team everyone shudders at when they see them on their schedule.
