FWIW Castle High School is it’s own school corporation. It’s in Warrick County, Evansville schools are all in Vandenburg County.

OK. Try to keep in mind that accusing an official of being bad at it is one thing. Implying unfairness is quite another.

Forget it, he’s rolling.

Oh I'm sure I overreacted. I just don't know how you call pass interference on a  defensive back that is 2 yards away from the WR and the ball is 8 feet over both of their heads.

I don't know how good I'd be, but I'd at least try to be fair.

I’m just trying to help. 
FWIW I thought the crew at Seymour/Brownstown did a great job.

That's what makes me mad. They've called some bad stuff on East too. This crew is god awful. Not even amateurs.

Could someone tell me if this is accurate? I am unable to find anything directly on the IHSAA's website and I currently can't get on the NFHS site (I am sure it is my error) 

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like we're missing pieces from this story. Cops don't just tase people for no reason. 

I’m not sure if you’ve seen what we’re doing lately or not…..

I feel like I have heard an opposite story from other officials.  The head coach ASKED for a flag post-halftime so he justify his complaint to the AD about the band.  Presumably there was a personal beef between the HC and Band Director.  Which wouldn't be the first time. 

I have had that as well, a couple of times as I recall. 

I seem to recall a trip in my early years of officiating to a certain southeastern Indiana school known for both football and band being told by the AD:

”the band will not be off the field before halftime is over, but you can’t flag us, because nobody effs with our band.”

Couple notes on Salem. Numbers are down. Listed 40 on roster after having 51 last year. But really they played ok against Valley. Better then score would indicate. Was 14-11 at half and Salem missed a FG as time expired. Started a Freshman at RB #4 who looked pretty good. Defense was pretty gassed in 2nd half. Still alot of undisciplined type stuff. 3 or 4 lost fumbles. But overall team wasn't as terrible as 0-5 record appears. Ill be curious how many JR high has playing. 

I was down there at the beginning of the season for a MS game. Played two games and I don’t recall an issues with numbers, but frankly I’m old and can’t remember what I was doing five minutes ago.

Dang @Frozen Tundra you are the harbinger of bad tidings for the orange flames.  Maybe your boys will surprise you tonight and catch a spark from former seasons?

Come over to North early, like 5:30pm and get some Colts swag.  The Colts cheerleaders and "players" (I figure it will be a couple retired guys as the team will be playing in Houston) are coming to our game to give the program a check for $1000.  They will be giving away some Colts swag and having drawings for some signed Colts memorabilia.  Also games, food and other fun stuff.  Free entry for first responders and military personnel to honor September 11th.

@Lysander is suppose to have a designated driver, looking forward to a full report from him.

Week 5 Picks

BNL (2-2, 2-0 HHC) at Seymour (2-2, 2-1 HHC)

Floyd Central (3-1, 1-0 HHC) at Jeffersonville (0-4, 0-2 HHC)

New Albany (1-3, 1-1 HHC) at Columbus East (1-3, 1-1 HHC)

Madison (1-3) at Jennings County (2-2)

 

I don’t think these games are as easy to pick as some might think. Aside from the Floyd/Jeff game, I think the other three could go either way.

BNL/Seymour almost has that “irresistible force meets the immovable object” feel with BNL’s strong defense and Seymour’s high-powered offense. 

I haven’t seen New Albany play but I’ve seen Columbus East play in three of their four games. Can’t stop the pass. Can’t stop runs around the ends. And, offensively, cannot pass the ball consistently or accurately enough to be more than a vanilla, one-dimensional team. If Jennings County is healthy last week then they beat East. They were in that game last week, even with a backup QB who isn’t a passing threat, until the fourth quarter when all the injuries started piling up. If New Albany beat a banged up Jennings County team by 21 and East beat an even more banged up Jennings County team the next week by only 22 then I’m going with New Albany over East.

After the first couple weeks of the season, I thought Jennings County would absolutely demolish Madison. Jennings County beat South Dearborn 41-26 and Madison lost to South Dearborn 41-0. However, as previously stated, Jennings County has been decimated by injuries. Nevertheless, Madison hasn’t scored a single point against an Indiana team this season but did put up 34 last week against Carroll County (KY). The rivalry should have them motivated enough to put up points and possibly challenge for the win but I think Jennings County has enough pieces still healthy that they’ll be able to pull out a homecoming victory.

Seymour/BNL appears to be a pick-em as does JC/Madison. I went with Seymour based on home field and the fact I think their passing game is legit. It’s tough to defend that many weapons. They don’t do anything fancy, but what they do they do very well, ultimately it comes down to Jimmies and Joes. Which leads me to JC, and I suspect JC has too many Jimmies and Joes standing on the sidelines in street clothes.

I could be wrong, but I don't think volleyball has as many recognized teams as girls wrestling does.

You would be wrong.

Not sure where you have been, but it is closer to becoming an IHSAA sanctioned sport than you think.  It takes one girl to make a team for wrestling.  It is just around the corner.

Boys volleyball came in as an emerging sport at the same time as girls wrestling. Girls wrestling will get there first.  

Men’s VB has been ready for several years, women’s wrestling is not. From one of the horse’s mouth.
