Let me say that Guerin Catholic's field (turf) is Absolutely IMMACULATE! Should keep natural grass. I'm ALL for it!

According to a GID contributor. Blackhawk is now playing at Zollner Stadium (Concordia) which is turf. Also, Snider plays at Spuller Stadium (Northrop)..Turf. Concord is playing at Mishawaka (turf) and Elkhart (turf), while the "Jake" gets refurbished with turf.

Coach Seiss is fantastic, and an absolute benefit to IN HS Football. I would not ever say anything disparaging about the things he has brought to the "game". This also goes with Coach Busea at Crown Point! These are programs that are "Region based" and on the cusp of breaking out towards a State Finals... If not a State Championship in the ensuing years. Anyone who is a Northerner would love for a Championship in the top 2 Classes to head beyond US24 (Fort Wayne also) .... Let's be honest. As an official, I don't care who wins. As a fan, I moved and live above US24. I delve into the Indy Area on a frequent basis to officiate. I just want and need the programs in the "North" to show on a consistent basis, that they are capable of competing at the highest of levels within IN HS Football. In all actuality, It kind of harkens to the SEC/Big 10 issues of the past 10+ years. At this point the Big 10 has figured things out, and are now absolutely on par...if not better than the SEC. I can easily see that happening within IN HS Football soon.

POP-UP KICK RULES 2-24-10 (NEW); 6-1-11 (NEW); 6-1 PENALTY (NEW)  A pop-up kick is a free kick in which the kicker drives the ball immediately to the ground, the ball strikes the ground once and goes into the air in the manner of a ball kicked directly off the tee. Such kicks will be penalized as a dead-ball foul. This has been in place since 2017.

IF in fact it "was" a pop-up kick...then it was a botched call by the officiating crew! That is blatantly illegal... its, NOT your ball its a penalty against the Railroaders. Just sayin

Before @Irishman gives you his interpretation of how to read it... As a one man said under oath a while back: "Can you define what 'it' is?"

The thing that the GID provides for those outside of the "areas" is the intrigue of what happening INSIDE of those areas.. I don't normally see the distance in certain places... but when given a thought of it, it is something to consider.

Still Trolling I see

Sorry with the Auto Correct...

Dabo will be gone sooner rather than later with his "approach" to NIL

Coach O'Shea will do a GREAT job at Bremen! The win/loss record is, IMO nothing to focus upon. He was masterful with his experience within the NECC as it was constructed.

I kind of knew they (White's kids) would be heading out. Hmm... Surry and Hogue, that's a loss? Those guys leaving doesn't help at all. So I guess its back to the "recruitment trail"? Editorial Commentary: (In keeping with the general tone and tenor of the underlying sentiment amongst a LARGE amount of posters within this and other social media platforms). 😀

I haven't heard that Robert. If so that would dramatically change the SAC in a lot of ways depending upon WHO/WHAT left from BL.

I'm not disagreeing in an "one off (or 2) "from Southern Allen County. But I certainly see those in North Adams, Blackford and even Wells heading over to Monroe and Geneva. Hopefully, as a FB supporter, this is just a cyclical situation at his time.

Perhaps, But I see Heritage ON THE RISE within that conference. Why would you leave a school system that offers "more" than that which is within AC? . It more that just sports (FB in this case).

Perhaps, and I'd think that would be a MUCH better option than anything in Adams County. The systems that the Adams County schools imply with FB seem to be 'ingrained' any are a model for what they do. BL allows a lot more leeway for what they do with FB athletes within the system that they imply. It ain't a DOUBLE wing, and pass MAYBE....

Probably so. But I still don't see any substantial numbers heading towards Monroe (or even Geneva) for FB in any fashion. North Adams, maybe. Blackford and Jay....perhaps. Allen? I just don't see that happening. EACS has programs that are 'competitive', IMO.

From where? and heading all the way down to Monroe? Seriously? And besides, the AC program starts in grade school/PAL.... You honestly believe that kids can come in and miraculously "learn" that system?

Bottom line is simple. CP is 'no joke'. It's the fanatics that make things crazy here and other places once the season gets going that's the issue. It is to say the least... Entertaining though.

Is GS still in 3A @ this time? If so, that would be a TITANIC (no pun intended) matchup at LOS....

Don't sleep on Bishop Luers in 3A. I'm telling you, they have 'horses' in the pipeline that are ready. Yes, they are/were a 2A powerhouse. With the talk that 3A is "down".... Why wouldn't they be looked at as breaking through in 3A?

Pretty sure that some do. I just check in every now and then for information, add some content (some sarcasm, some informative as in the case of answers....but I don't attempt to be a pest and just find posts to 'comment' on when I see a screen name. Keeps me sane! And as for the perceived posters that seem to just be "out there".... I appreciate and look forward to actually rationalizing about their thoughts. BEFORE making any comment, if ever. They actually are appreciated by most on the GID to providing a different perspective to discussions.

As I've said a lot before: The dividing line of US24....(obviously more South of that in all actually) has become a trend at the 6A level for 'success' at the Finals. Being a "Northerner" of course I am anxiously waiting for a program to break through and change the current narrative that exists in 6A at the State Finals. I also will NOT cow-tow to the belief that 'school choice' (public tax money) is the answer to FB success in ANY way/shape/fashion/form. It is a federal/state sanctioned "welfare program" extended to P/P institutions IMO. My parents paid their own freight to send ME to parochial schools. Why would I ask I my neighbor to contribute to my wanting a Porsche by taking my/other's public monies from the system to make that happen? My wanting to have a "Porsche" is MY issue, not my neighbors. Our collective goal should be to provide the best possible PUBLIC education and funding to our local systems and teachers! Sadly, I see major issues coming in the ensuing years with the abilities of programs to 'recruit and raid' players on ALL levels of HS sports. The template has been shown with collegiate athletics, and even THEY cannot control the issues that are at play now.

As an official. that TEMPERATURE is more of an issue for me. Damn...22? Thank goodness for Lucas Oil Stadium....

Keep being a troll, I'll keep being moving FORWARD...
