lol, those are humorous. Where is the one for Indiana Dunes "National Park"? 🤭

What about the guy who wants to play football and tennis? Cross county? Marching Band? About the only crossover I have seen with playing both football and soccer is the place kicker. Makes sense. As for the field, when my child played high school soccer the only fields we encountered where both football and soccer were played were artificial turf fields, so overuse was not an issue. The schools with natural grass had separate football and soccer fields.

I know of a "4A" school where the starting guards are often no bigger than 5'10", 180lbs. The center and tackles are often not much larger.

Why? So they would compete against T&F, Baseball, Softball, Boy's Golf, and Girl's Tennis and not all powerful tackle football?

Yes, like many on this forum believe soccer to be a "silly" sport even when it the most widely played sport worldwide.

Please. Elaborate.

Don't the "big uglies" of a school, aka the offensive and defensive lineman, get short shrift in a 8-man system? Are not 2 out of the 3 positions eliminated in 8-man football those "non-skill" positions? I guess those players can just go play soccer or run cross country?

I do not support 8-man football as well. A co-op system is the best bet for small schools in Indiana. But schools like Barr-Reeve and Loogootee, for example, will have to get other their mutual animosity. Isn't that a good thing?

Yep. You obviously have all the answers to America's political woes.

Two People Charged With a Hate Crime for Painting Over a Black Lives Matter Mural https://reason.com/2020/07/09/hate-crime-black-lives-matter-mural-vandalism-contra-costa-county/ Agreed. A crime is a crime is a crime. "Hate crimes" fly in the face of "equal under the eyes of the law.".

I guess not. After all according to you I had the worst H.S. government teacher in Indiana government school history (may he R.I.P.), and not you.

*cough* soccer *cough* The bane of small school football programs almost everywhere. Which is why in the aforementioned list I don't see a small school like Rossville ever having football, 8-man or otherwise. Their existing soccer program is enough for that community, a place where basketball and to a lesser extent, baseball, is king and always will be. An Attica-Seeger co-op 11-man football team would be a mighty beast. Just saying..........................

But there are "4A" programs around the state where this is also a common occurrence. Enrollment seldom tells the whole story, hence the need to scrap the enrollment based classification system and go to one of strict promotion/relegation.

Agreed. I have been arguing against the uni-party for practically my entire time on the GID. There really is no appreciable difference between the Democrat and Republican parties other than the general groups of whose money they want to steal to fund their big government dreams. They truly are dredging the bottom of the barrel in 2020 with Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump. The Libertarian party candidate Ms. Jo Jorgensen, is worthy of serious consideration. However since most Americans believe the election of the POTUS is like a horse race where it is so important to be part of the group in the "winners circle" that for some reason "holding your nose and voting for the lesser of two evils" is now morally justified.

Lutheran High School athletic trainer, coach says she was fired for being gay https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2020/07/09/lutheran-high-school-athletic-trainer-coach-fired-being-gay/5396453002/ Well there's the problem........................

53rd annual Feast of the Hunters' Moon canceled; festival postponed to 2021 https://www.jconline.com/story/news/2020/07/08/feast-hunters-moon-canceled-festival-postponed-2021/5401823002/ How sad. I really enjoy attending the Feast almost every year. And a lot of small local organizations depend on what they earn at the Feast every October for a significant portion of their operating income.

Donation sent.

There is significant corruption wherever taxpayer dollars are spent. Nobody ever said private charter schools were immune. Try googling "Frank Tassone".

Sounds like a good plan, regardless of whether one belongs to a labor union or not.

Thank you., My current yearly premiums for a family Anthem BC/BS health care plan, as well as vision and dental? $0.00

Ok, what are your annual individual and family deductibles? What is your monthly individual or family insurance premium, the amount your government employer takes out of your paycheck every month?

A better option would be to allow small schools to form co-op teams, like they do in Illinois.

I can pretty much guarantee my current private, non-union employee sponsored health insurance plan is better than any Indiana government school teachers.
