Does this stop the bleeding, particularly from St Michael’s?

This does give one a few points to ponder .

 

I disagree, I’ve long felt HS has OT figured out. It’s beautifully simple, fair, and equitable for both teams.

One of the highlights for me during the regional round has been the guys at SEI Local Sports.  Usually a 4A team has to face East Central or a 3A team will face Lawrenceburg who both have games on there.

Ev Central vs East Central (2x), Ev Memorial/ Heritage Hills/ Southridge vs Lawrenceburg. I've had a chance to watch all 5 of those broadcasts over the last few years.  Great production staff and crew, IMO.    

 

SEI Sports does a great job broadcasting/promoting SE Indiana sports. It’s not just the late round Football tournament games, it’s about every weekday and all sports.

You are alone on that my friend........ February football in Indiana is gonna be brutal.  I know Ft. Wayne right now is covered in snow and its brutally cold all over.  Not exactly condusive to prime practice situations.   As a fan, I am prepared for the elements, but i'm guessing attendance will be lower and I'll miss the atmosphere of a beautiful fall day.

 

 I know for a fact St. Francis has practiced outside in the elements quite a bit.  I think through this brutal cold stretch they are practicing in a dome somewhere in Ft. Wayne. 

I made trips to St. Francis for years, and it was miserable EVERY time I was there.

My gut tells me it won’t happen, until a court tells North Meridian they have to.

BHSS and Edgewood played each other in 2019 in Week 8.

Because they dropped Roncalli after the first year of a 4 year deal in 18. This was part of the CCC/CI crossover. 

Has this been an issue?

Roncall and Bloomington South- Noticed on John Harrell's site that Roncalli has an opening in Week 8.  Thought that was supposed to be Bloomington South, and find out that Bloomington South terminated the contract in the recent weeks.  Doing that 6 months ahead of time is a pretty low blow.  Especially with the Circle City Conference and Conference Indiana having their agreements to help fill each other's schedules.  Sure, B. South will owe Roncalli money, but that money (and then some) will be spent on an out of state trip for the only way they will get a game this late.  Why does Bloomington South even stay in Conference Indiana if they are going to do that?  Just a bad look in my opinion.  I also do not have a ton of information, but unless there is a really good reason to terminate that contract, that shows a serious lack of class.  

Just another year in this recurring saga. This isn’t the first time BHSS has cancelled the contract.

The wind went out of Carmel's sail in the cluster era; WC picked up at that point. 

Jeff George era. 

Am I the only one seeing the irony of a stat boi questioning a HOF coach?

Ok, we get it. You think Dick Dullaghan was a product of where he coached. I'm sure that's why he earned those college coaching jobs with Jim Young at Purdue and at Army.

Ben Davis' best year prior to his arrival was an 11-1 run to the Final Four in 1977 and a 7-0-1 campaign in 1950. From 1937-1983, BD had 11 winning seasons...total. The Giants, as a program, didn't go over .500 until 1997. 

But, yes...it was all enrollment. 

Anyway, my original point as to why Carmel made the playoffs was not just because they were a wealthy suburb but because they had a great football coach has been made. 

Don’t discount Kevin Vanderbush’s impact on not only the Football program but all programs.

You might not be aware of this, but Carmel was a different place in 1973.

As late as the early 90’s, not uncommon for the guy on one end of the chain to be wearing a Ralph Lauren parka, and the guy on the other end would be wearing worn out Carhartt bibs. Most on this board haven’t been around long enough to know/remember there was mostly farmland north of about 82nd Street.

One school is a wealthy suburban school, and the other is one of the largest in Indiana. 
 

I’m not saying he was a bad coach, but I am saying his schedule helped Carmel make the playoffs. Writing a schedule is part of a coach’s duties.

What’s your excuse for his success once he got in the playoffs?

2019 best frosh team I saw combined with a solid JV team. I didn’t see any Frosh/JV games in 2020. It will be interesting to see who this job attracts. Best luck to Coach Weber in his future endeavors, always liked the guy. 

Tough to tell on slo mo, I think you have to call that. Completely avoidable and not necessary.

We have the same issue with our purple from adidas. I have never been an adidas fan. We actually got purple home jerseys and purple game pants....the samples looked great, but ended up being two different shades of purple.....and it was noticeable......to the point we never wore them together. But I have to think that Nike is the real culprit with what they started at Oregon. IIRC, Oregon was the first to go with the alternative look. The owner is an Oregon grad. I think UA started with Maryland, correct? Since the founders are UM grads. I do know Warren Central was the first high school to go with UA. A classmate/teammate from there was one of the early executives with them. 

For many years Badger was Adidas largest supplier. Adidas made the move to the Southeast Asia. That was about the time you started seeing a lot of Badger branded apparel. My guess on your color is Adidas fights the same battles Nike has, constantly switching vendors leads to color/material inconsistencies. Nike makes some decent apparel, but I never bought two pieces of apparel that fit the same. We never used Nike apparel when I was coaching, but when my kid was at MU, they were a LIDS school, so the fan gear was all Nike and of course all of the team’s apparel. Being out of coaching and out of parenting, not my problem anymore. My only bitch now is the IHSAA forcing officials to use their suppliers  for shirts that are 20 bucks higher than what we were paying for the same shirts before the move.

I don't mind if a high school decides to change it's colors,  but what does bug me is this move to more 'accent' type colors in athletic uniforms.  For example you have a school whose colors are Blue and White, full stop.  Why do you have some uniforms with a significant amount of black or gray  in them?   Because it looks cool?   Black, grey, and red seems to be the big offenders here.

 

 

I blame Under Armour. As they have woo’d schools away from Adidas, Adidas has really cut their stock program, particularly when it comes to purple. When I was coaching, our school colors are Northwestern Purple and White. Northwestern U makes the move to UA, and our main vendor is an Adidas distributor. Adidas cut purple drastically from their stock program. Last set of uni’s we bought, we had to go with black and use purple accents. I understand there are other distributors out there, but me being a loyal guy, I wanted to stick with my guy who’d taken care of me thru the years.

Columbus East-  The powers that be back in the beginning liked the Cleveland Browns and USC Trojans.  Hence the brown and orange uniforms.  The school song is the USC tune .  The school began in an Olympic year so they are called the Olympians.

And those brown pants were hideous 😄Not as bad as those faded gold things Martinsville always wore, but they were bad. 

 No rule saying yea or nay. I’m old school, the only name on the jersey is the team’s. Unless of course you’re ND, Penn State, or Alabama.

Good for Clarksville, the MSC has outgrown them in my opinion. Keep up the good work coach, you’re making an impact.

Perhaps IN, IL, MI, OH, and KY should be contracted into one state, lol
