    If Snider bumps up, who drops down, school with lowest enrollment I would think?

    Adams Central may be back-to-back runner-up but still moved up to 2A. Personally, I don't like this as I feel a school without a State Championship should not be bumped up.

    Ask Linton-Stockton what THEY think?  This has been done before to a school.....

    Should be a 'grace' allowed in these situations?  I think so!!!

    Congrats to Penn and NorthWood on sectional championships! A little surprised by the Penn/Warsaw score. NorthWood/Northridge was a classic. Odd, but true: both teams are 0-3 @ home the past 3 years.

    The TESTOSTERONE of specific players was an issue!   Trust me, we don't like "face time"  

    But a FANTASTIC HS Football game on both sides.  

    Congratulations to the NLC, I was impressed by the fans, players, and the atmosphere of the Sectional Championship Game.  

    Truly what IHSAA FB is all about.

    Snider vs North Side

    The thing that upsets me the most (not gonna get a lot of traction on a forum like this, though). 

    Is that many don't see themselves as TEACHERS 1st.  They see themselves as 'hype men' within a program, 1st and foremost.  There are numerous programs that we as officials can readily see are there to 'win'...but they also can quickly turn off the testosterone and get back to coaching/teaching.  It's a mutual respect thing.  

    I am positive that a particular coach who's kinda "Caveman like" wants to win every time he steps on the gridiron.  But I also know that when the rubber hits the road, he (and his staff) have the understanding that what they do and react to, will directly impact the young men and women within their program.   

    This is true of the overwhelming majority of HS coaches that I have encountered. 

    But when I deal with those that see a 'game' as more than that of a 'game'.  It truly concerns me as to what is going on within that program.  The focus is skewed to something else.  Parents/Boosters/Players/Fans all then become the mob which we as officials then have to deal with.  And you wonder why we can't recruit new officials?  

    As much as we like to be fans of the players on a Friday night.  Remember MOST of these players will be finished with athletics when the last whistle blows in a loss during the playoffs.  You can count on 1 hand the number of players that have made it to the NFL in a significant manner within a 5 year period from this state.  

    When its all said and done, what do you want YOUR program remembered for?   Success, of course.  But sometimes that success comes in the form being able to reach young people and change their lives in a positive way.  Victories not withstanding!

    Offense Choosing Hash position?

    My understanding is this can happen after a touchback and before a PAT....correct? are there other instances?  

    If the ball was kicked OOB on a particular side BEFORE it reached the goal line.  You DO NOT have the option of choosing a hash.  The ball should be placed on the hash that the ball went OOB.  

    If there is a penalty administration, that is marked off.  And the ball is STILL placed on the side the ball was kicked OOB.
