Thank you for posting that. I really appreciate your contributions to this forum - especially when you’ve evaluated complicated plays/calls. It’s very informative for casual fans.

They should have the visiting teams just disrobe, wrap themselves in towels, and cram in on cedar wood benches at halftime. That had to be a Jerry Brewer thing. Did he write up the specs for that?

That's the service coaches use during games to look at replays on the sidelines. Most teams are using it these days. So, of course the kids care about that. Why wouldn't they? Bosse has apparently raised a fuss about Memorial using it at Enlow. I'm not even sure what their gripe is.

Or, in other words...."Hey...you're not allowed to have free tuition. Only we're allowed to have free tuition!"

I can attest that the kids care about the live Hudl thing.

I’m happy to hear that. Make that childish demand cost Bosse some money.

So much so, apparently, that Memorial’s AD felt compelled to send out an email reminding people to sit in the visitors bleachers. Maybe his counterpart at Bosse asked him if he would? But I don’t see how they can really patrol that when it’s actually general admission. If the visitors bleachers are full, where are people supposed to sit?

If someone was willing to give the school that much dough, I have a feeling it wouldn’t go toward a stadium that would be used a handful of times each year. It’s probably a luxury Memorial will never be able to afford. Mater Dei could probably upgrade theirs if they got a big enough check. I don’t mind playing at Enlow. But this “guest stands against Bosse” thing is so childish and petty. It’s a good thing for Bosse too, after all. Reitz always brings a crowd. Bosse is usually lucky to have 100 fans. You should see the contrast, it’s almost comical.

That’s right. But I believe she was still the principal when this renewed.

Sheila Huff insisted on this to renew the contract. What’s ridiculous about it is that the guest side bleachers for these games have been knee-to-knee full, while the home side has been about 5-10% filled.

Bosse usually doesn’t get many fans. I don’t think it would matter if Memorial fans just went and sat on the grandstand anyway. It’s not like there are assigned seats. It’s general admission. I’ve also wondered if Memorial inquired about moving home games to Romain. Why pay somebody who makes this ridiculous demand?

Heh….I’m not even that loyal to my own team (I correctly picked us to lose against Jasper Week 1)! No, I just think Reitz is the real deal this year. They have so many offensive weapons and have figured out how to use them that keeps defenses guessing. They have a “pick your poison” offensive attack.

Castle and Reitz should be a great matchup. I could see either team prevailing. But I’m taking the Panthers.

How do coaches score points in fantasy?

Ben Johnson is a very effective defensive coordinator. The guy watches film and coaching clinics for entertainment. It’s not wrong to say he’s obsessive about it.

It may not have made for a different outcome. But MD did have several very costly penalties that negated big gains - especially the ineligible receiver downfield where they scored a TD.

Down there in your crouch.

I should also add that I really value your and the rest of the C&P team’s coverage of local sports, especially HS. It’s the #1 reason I’ve always kept my subscription. Keep up the great work!

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Hopefully Kyle has some good reason to write that. I did happen to overhear somebody ask Drew after the game when he’d be back. He said “a couple weeks.” This team would really be firing on all cylinders if we get those two back and healthy.

With the yardage loss on the sacks, that might be right…or at least close. They relied heavily on Wunderlich’s arm - which makes sense, he’s got a very good one. He throws it quick and on target. He’s also very mobile and strong on his feet. Memorial really controlled the line of scrimmage both ways. As a side note, they need to take the page out of the playbook that has the bubble screen and burn it in a team ceremony.

Memorial won 22-6. WR Collins had a great first outing coming off a knee injury. Fisher connected on a number of deep balls, including one to Collins for 6. He also connected deep with the guy he replaced at QB, Caleb Ellspermann. Balanced offensive attack. No huge runs, but a lot of 5-8 yard runs. On the other side of the ball, MD was able to move the ball ok with Wunderlich’s accurate quick strikes. They never got much going on the ground. Memorial probably sacked MW 5 or so times. They had a hard time finding the end zone. I thought the Wildcats looked gassed in the 2nd half. They have a lot of kids that play both ways.

Jasper is playing a freshman…and it isn’t Eliot Smith?

I hate to be that guy. But the Memorial RB’s last name is Rode, not Rodes.

Can people actually bet on these lines? I’d be stunned to see Central beat VL.
