I think they’ll do it, they know how I’ll deal with it, and I don’t think they want to deal with that either. In fairness I’ve never really had any issues at Seymour. They play at the HS and parents have to be in the stands. I’m more of the mindset you’re starting your AB with an 0-2 count.

Working on putting a similar system in place here. I asked the local youth league leaders if I could be in charge of dealing with out of line parents and they said NO, we’ll handle that. OK, but rest assured if you don’t I will, you’re asking me to train HS kids, I’m not letting some idiot run them off.

OK, but never the U!

Two things: 1: I have been charged with traing a group of high schoolers to officiate youth Football games. Rule 2 is on the agenda for Wednesday night. Rule 2 for those who don’t know is titles “Definitions”. One of the items in Rule 2 worth noting is there is a definition for a “forward” pass and a “backward” pass but there is no definition for a “lateral”. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. 2. If the line to gain after the penalty enforcement is gained it will be 1st down. If the line to gain was not reached after enforcement it will be loss of down. So if the play happened on 3rd down it will now be 4th down. A new series can not start on any down other than 1st.

My brother’s brother in law and sis-in-law, retired corporate lawyer and college department head from Chicago bought 400 acres in Brown County, built a ginormous house and currently live there. More to the point I was making earlier, that’s not a great game plan for athletic excellence. Plus the fact that I cringe every time I have to go thru there…..

Central/East has a good mix with the current 8/frosh classes. All of course based on what I saw last year in MS. I’m not one that gets excited about youth players, but with QB’s they have some intangibles that can’t really be coached, easy to spot in MS. Last years 7th grade QB at Central is going to be a stud.

I think the situation has stabilized a little but a revolving door in the AD’s office for several years hasn’t helped. BC faces similar issues to other single school counties. Granted huge tourism dollars, but no real industry that attracts people. Fair amount of vacation/summer homes most of the residents work in Columbus or Bloomington. BC has some history of success, but those days are a long ways in the rear view mirror.

Congratulations to the Panthers! Athletic success starts at the top, great hire in Corey Stevens, he has a vision and is working diligently to move the athletic program forward. I’ve only met Coach Newton once, but my initial opinion is he’s a young man with a plan and he’s working hard. JC has long been the butt of jokes aside from being a sad story of rural decay in the US. Good for them, they finally are getting some of the pieces to fit together.

BNL (0-1) at 5A #9/#10 Bloomington North (1-0) Brown County (0-1) at Jennings County (1-0) 3A #1 Christian Academy of Louisville (1-0) at New Albany (0-1) Columbus North (0-1) at Columbus East (0-1) Seymour (0-1) at Jeffersonville (0-1) Terre Haute South (0-1) at Floyd Central (0-1)

Seymour at Jeff moved to Saturday 7:00.

I’ve heard some schools putting out feelers looking for officials on Saturday. One southern Indiana matchup has already been moved to Saturday night 7:00, I’ll let the athletic departments make the announcement publicly. I suspect a bunch of dominos are about to fall.

We had Salem in like round one or two last year in the tournament…..big hole to dig out of.

So much like I’ve told many UK fans, move to the other side of the river, I don’t care.

Indiana is the only state in the nation who’s time is dictated by metro areas outside the state. It’s time Indiana became whole, I don’t care what time NY, Cincinnatti, or Louisville uses.

I don’t agree with much you post, but spot on commentary on the time. JV game was canceled for tonight. Heat index over 105.

That’s a KILLER if you have officials coming from EDT……trust me I know, it’s a LATE night!

I had a JV game tonight moved from 6:00 to 7:00.

The second gen fields aren’t nearly as hot as the first gen fields were. Columbus East was hands down the hottest turf I was ever on, it felt like you hit a wall about 20’ from it.

Oh believe me it’ll get worse.

In fairness, you were warned.

I saw the Greenwood @ Seymour game, thought the crew did a good job.

Seymour’s passing attack is legit.

I have this game a couple of times recently, I feel your pain.

lol, did a MS DH last night and I don’t remember the score from either game, I know Madison won the 8th grade game.

I will preface this by saying I am the world’s worst prognosticator: Bedford North Lawrence at Martinsville Columbus East at 5A #5 Bloomington South Floyd Central at 6A #4 Louisville St. Xavier Greenwood at Seymour New Albany at Franklin South Dearborn at Jennings County 5A #3 Whiteland at Jeffersonville No real clue, saw a couple of teams in scrimmages, which really tells me nothing.
