Thanks Thor. Again, you were all over this.... 😂

No (Indy's own) Babyface says differently.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5egURt6AKPk

Thanks. We did our best. No issues on the field.....just one guy losing his mind (in the stands) and being REALLY loud. Also, no disrespect to Marion...but we were honestly shocked that EN didn't turn their early momentum in the 2nd half into a lead. I am NOW and always have been impressed with Coach (Luke) Amstutz. He knows his stuff....Did it at Carroll (assistant), absolutely did it at Angola! And is ALWAYS doing it at EN.. As for the Giants, good luck this week at Hobart. Always a great locale to play at. Should be a great game also!

Got ya. Hate to say this. But I'm currently at the Eye doctor...

I already KNEW that... Check the DATE!!! Today is the 16th... Things CHANGE...trust me

No trolling. let's just say that some of us are planning on being in Berne....not Lafayette on Friday night.

Are you POSITIVE this game is being played at LCC? Just askin....

Had Marion/East Noble this past week. Honest surprised at Marion's dedication to what they did best....RUN THE ROCK! A hard hitting contest that was a nail-biting game. No idea of which Purple team will come out the victor, but this should be a close Semi-State. A play here or there, and EN could have prevailed. As a fan, please understand that some of the rules that you see on Saturday and Sunday are NOT the rules applies to NFHS games played at the HS level. Enjoy the 12 contests this coming weekend, and understand that the officials who were selected to officiate these contests also feel honored to be participants in the tournament as much as the teams that are on the field. Just my 2 cents!

For this crew... Gibson Southern at Brebeuf... 2013 Started with a lot of fans being "macho", Cathart jackets all around... 2nd half, everyone up in the glass enclosed end zone building....only players, coaches, officials and chain gang left on the playing surface. It was ungodly cold, windy rainy, then snowing sideways. Took GS completely out of their game. O still shudder now, just thinking of it.

Doesn't impact the crew. But if guidelines are in place. It is a conundrum that I cannot explain to those whom I mentor and try to give 'hope' to...to keep pushing forward.

Seems like a great match-up in 4A North...

What's 25% of capacity at LOS? If they open up the upper deck, that might not be much of a difference than in other years.

Let's go with Bobref on this one. But at this point in the tournament, I can only see one match-up that could even be a running clock.. .I am ON the field, not in the pressbox. Thankfully.

"Running Clocks" are now done from this point on in the tournament..... just an FYI

Looks like Warsaw jumped the gun. Spoke to the crew, and its on for Homestead to host this Friday night...

That's a heck of an observation there "Sherlock" Kinda takes us back to the original tenor of MY point.. Some schools travel better than others. No disrespect to Luers. But they honestly fall in the lower portion of SAC schools whose fans 'travel. Whereas: Homestead; Carroll; Dwenger and Snider (Concordia not withstanding) seem always bring a dedicated number of fans on the road.

I am pretty sure that those same Luers parents (coaches and players) aren't expecting to lose. Besides, it works both ways...Eastside wouldn't have fans either.

Nope. Some schools' fan travel more than others. There's no way the Knights would gain anything going TO Butler.

Why would you give up that advantage if you don't need to? Perhaps you should have a 'Coke and a smile' and bring it down a few notches....

I do also when it comes to Luers

"Rumor" is that Allen County will be under a county-wide edict banning fans later in the week. Hence the game that Homestead was hosting vs. Warsaw was moved (LAST NIGHT) to Warsaw.

Totally agree. It's crunch time for those of us who are "independent" of the situation. I have a personal experience at this point, and its a concern. I am struggling with both officiating, and the ability to forgo our crew's exposure to anyone who has had contact with anyone else with COVID.

As an official. I am pretty sure that I might lose one of my crew members due to "concern". Now having said that.. It's sad that Clinton Prairie is out of the tournament due to no fault of their own (as of now). i hope that the local Health Department can get involved and 'save' the seson for the kids! Let's all hope that CP gets further testing and is clean. And then lets all hope that their opponent is trusting of the testing and they can play this week.

It is an option. Not the 1st, that's always been Wayne
