Trinity Lutheran
Impartial_Observer replied to WWFan's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
It's a horrible situation for the kids who want to play Football. Long story short, they were sold a bill of goods by a snake oil salesman and started the program before they were ready. He highlights his kid, they shops him around Indy and move on to greener pastures, presumably. Life lesson, the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. Football ends round one. They team up with another club team and compete for a year, a non-IHSAA schedule, then move everything on campus and call it Trinity Lutheran. Schedule a mix of IHSAA member schools and non-members, with multiple players who aren't enrolled at Trinity. An unnamed by me AD from another IHSAA member school catches wind that he has an athlete attending practices and contacts the IHSAA. Football ends round two. I believe they had 7-9 players who were not enrolled at Trinity Lutheran. As stated this is an awful situation for the kids who just want to play Football. The adults have failed them miserably. I know there were some kids who transfered after the program was shut down the first time, I have no idea if any are transfering this time. I have heard that some may possibly play on a club team. In the meantime between the two shutdowns, Trinity has moved from co-ed soccer to separate boys and girls teams, I would guess this only exacerbates their situation with numbers. I'm a Football guy, I wan to see the game of Football grow and prosper, and the situation at Trinity doesn't do the game any justice. I would guess the folks who write the checks at Trinity are going to have a tough time ponying up for a part three after two failures. Just please get your ducks in a row before there's another redo with Football. -
40 Second play clock, I wouldn't want to go back, good change. Jersey stuff, not much I can do, hopefully the manufacturers pay attention. Legal Scrimmage Formation, so A can now legally snap the ball with 9 players? Horsecollar good move, I still don't see this as being a big issue in HS Football. Illegal kicking and batting, fine, whatever. I would venture to guess the majority of officials have never called it, much less know what the yardage penalty is. Replay I think this needs to addressed in the right way. This could be the greatest thing since sliced bread or a huge boondoggle.

I was told by a trusted source close to the program, that they have called it quits for the immediate future. He said he saw no way they could move forward in the foreseeable future. That being said, they have an all new administration in place, principal and AD are both in their first year, so who knows. The principal has a sports background, including college Football, the AD is a retired insurance salesman. -

The Dude does not abide. I have no idea who the chick is, but one of the Seattle Seven, selling out and schilling beer is very undude. And IO has no idea who or what the chick represents. -
Does she have any idea how the vast majority of our electricity is generated? California has been build a high speed rail for how many years? It’s how many years behind schedule and how many billion over budget? Seems foolproof to me, hence I shall call her Venezuela Ocasio-Cortez. Lastly is she even attempts to take my beef, it’s gonna bo on like Donkey Kong!
