Yes it does. This is education/based athletics. You do the "crime" You do the "time".... but other sports are played at a faster pace, so the penalty is less severe!

I almost see a parallel with East Noble/New Haven game from a few weeks ago, coming on Friday night.

Send me a DM link. Cause I need to see things...please!

Exactly what I had last night!

Ala: Snider/Northrop sharing the same stadium, with regards to FB. In other sports, much more of a 'true' rivalry. That Penn matchup just reeks of a GREAT HS Football game coming up this week! Northern Indiana FB, cooler weather, coaches wearing shorts for no reason at all.

I had a KO (not grounded) by K, caught in the air by K, tonight which was adjudicated as Kick Catch Interference without an R player within the perview of anything... After stepping off an additional 15 yards for the penalty....As it should be interpreted.as a "fair catch" by R... then penalized. I almost felt like I needed security to even give the proper signal. Ugh...

ESL is its OWN system... get with the program!

Just had to go with immature comment, huh? Again. Perhaps learn something prior to a comparison with a totally independent School district than that which is a part of a much larger one, to try and make your point. And at No time would I ever make myself "the smartest guy on the room". BUT perhaps the most informed.

I'm done with this stupid comparison to a district that is solely it's OWN (ESL) and that which a part of a larger one (Tech)....

As a STL born and bred person... How about you take some time and LEARN something? Tech is perhaps more like University City (MO), or Ritenour (MO), or Saint Louis Sumner?

Not even close to the ESL situation... Perhaps you don't realize as ridiculous of a comparison to Tech you raised?

The East Saint Louis Athletic program in NO WAY can even be compared to that of Tech. ESL McKinley and ESL Lincoln closed within that district years ago and THAT gave them a multitude of athletic ability that was able to be tapped into. It was a self-sustaining situation. Add that to the legacy of the Women's (and Men's) Track and Field programs, the Basketball programs (including ESL Lincoln); How is a HS withing a a LARGER ISP District (Tech) even on par, or could even be compared? Clearly (the) ESL Flyers have taken pride in their athletic programs, so much so, that kids OUTSIDE of their district (and Illinois) transfer there to participate in their activities. Big time difference!

I give the Rochester backers a lot of pride. Haven't heard/seen/read much chatter from Zebra Nation in like .... "forever".

I.was impressed by Fairfield's scheme. Haven't officiated them in a while, but it was a triple option..mostly approach that was effective . The yelling JT Dad not withstanding, being completely unaware of wonderful clean game on BOTH sides. Good luck to both schools!

The "popcornality" of the comments made within this thread.... AND the absolute hi-jacking of it for the mere fact that it could be done... Sometimes makes it worth just killing an afternoon reading postings. Now I'll get back to eating that popcorn, and re-read this thread. 😁

Were players for the Generals hurt? I had a guy at work just BITCH to high heaven about the players on the field last Friday for them.. Said that Haydock didn't even try until the 4th quarter. I wasn't there, so I have no idea.

Unless Wayne wins the upper bracket... That is entirely possible, IMO.

Games aren't actually played on "neutral fields" until LOS.

I have no dog in this situation. But a ONE OFF game is possible for anyone to win, if they are formidable enough. Now go run a 6 game gauntlet in 6A and then we could talk. There's a lot more to 6A than CG.

Having seen (as I tend do each season) a cross section of ALL classes within IHSAA FB. Trust me, EC may be the best in 4A (perhaps 5A also).... But they ain't winning in 6A, no way, no how! 6A is a totally different animal than which you have made yourself privy to.

No dog in that fight. Just wanting fantastic IHSAA FB always...

Exactly... I'm there a lot coming up. Or just go behind that....LOL

The field will be chopped up. I almost suggest to find the absolute worst in the Summit City to practice on... oh wait. That's located right there on Reed Rd. 😃

Had Mishawaka this past week. They are formidable, especially if the Panthers have to go to Steele Field. Have Anderson this week. That's a big tell, sorry. Good luck. 1 and done for everyone
