After yesterday's debacle I just don't care anymore. You would think that most of the players wouldn't just lie down like that against the 49'ers, especially when most of them got their way with Eberflus's firing. No, they will end up with a 4-13 record. The only solace I can take is that the Colt's in Manning's first season were 3-13, and then they started to take off from there. Let's hope for the same for young Mr. Williams.

Once a scout..................

Yep, most of the Hispanic community is apathetic about two out of the three "traditional" boy's high schools sports, those being basketball and football. They tend to embrace soccer, baseball, and wrestling.

It appears a statement has been released by the Sheridan school board: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/12/04/sheridan-school-board-refutes-bud-wright-resign-or-be-fired-statement-ihsaa-football-indiana/76766754007/?tbref=hp

Lebanon is Frankfort's Eagleton.

https://reason.com/2024/12/03/indiana-cops-seized-their-cash-from-a-fedex-hub-prosecutors-just-agreed-to-return-it/ What a racket. I hope that this money is being returned with a large interest payment tacked on as well. And that the Marion County Prosecutors office is being investigated for crimes.

Where does this leave Kevin Wright? He would seem to be the "heir apparent" but does now want the head coaching job under these circumstances?

Indianapolis Star story on this firing: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/12/03/sheridan-football-bud-wright-resigns-after-60-seasons-indiana-all-time-winningest-coach-ihsaa/76744695007/?tbref=hp

I hear Frankfort High School is looking for a new head football coach. Only a 30 minute drive from Sheridan.

You do know this article is for a Lebanon, Pennsylvania, right?

Looks like a nice big middle school is under construction. And some farmer(s) with land to the north and east stand to become even richer, at the taxpayer's expense.

Parents sway a government school administration once again: "My little Jimmy got yelled at by Mr. Wright. Now his widdle feelings are hurt. Boo Hoo." Ageism?

No. Why does he want to leave the 49er's or the 49er's want to get rid of him?

Which is why only a true system of promotion/relegation is the answer. Take enrollment out the equation entirely. A cool mascot name.

I hope the Lebanon school board has already purchased a substantial amount of land in yet-undeveloped areas within the school district boundaries. They will need it. The current high school is pretty much land locked, with residential development all around it.

We get it. Harrison is a rich school in a rich district. So many of the kids probably: a. Participate in soccer/gymnastics/track/field/swimming/wrestling/tennis/softball at the travel/club level in addition to the Harrison teams. Cost: big $. b. Have parents who pay big $ for their little Johnny or Susan have professional personal training/coaching in the aforementioned sports.

Let's compare temptation's top 25 final list to Mr. Neddenriep's final power rankings: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/12/03/indiana-high-school-football-super-25-final-state-power-rankings-ihsaa-state-finals-2024/76713663007/?tbref=hp

Mr. Cignetti may be listening...........

No, the Orange & Black Tiger.

Go Greenfield/Northwestern Tigers.

And then the Colts fire Gus Bradley and hire Eberflus...........................

Here is a list that the Indy Star has come up with: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/purdue/2024/12/01/purdue-football-coaching-candidates-hot-board-who-will-replace-ryan-walters-boilermakers-head-coach/76685532007/

If you are talking about Mr. Walters then Purdue Athletics may not have the $. His buyout is close to $10,000,000: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2024/11/30/indiana-football-has-coach-curt-cignetti-purdue-is-stuck-with-ryan-walters-old-oaken-bucke/76674934007/ Yep, better get out that checkbook Purdue fans. This is how "big time" college athletics work now.

Ok. Then yes, I support the privatization of "preparatory schools" in Indiana. Thought it will probably take an amendment to the Indiana State Constitution and it's pesky Article 8 to completely get government out of the K-12 educations business.
