It's almost never a COVID "outbreak"...it's one positive case contact tracing out 15-30 kids who will never get the disease.

Looks like success factor wasn't enough to counteract the inherit human capital advantages P/Ps enjoy, time to add a multiplier to it. Oh....the tournament will go on as that is $$$ time. Is there any evidence that HS football games have contributed to higher "case counts" in Indiana?

Gibson Southern Freshman football defeat Linton JV 24-18 to close out their season!

I too think Jasper can pull it off....I think someone else said it, but I agree...best Jasper team in a decade.

Remember that time when all those guys were saying we wouldn't make it past week 3......that was cool.

5 senior starters are out. 4 in quarantine 1 hurt. #942 pounds missing from that game.

Its really really simple...when the #4 team in the state is in your sectional. He said it not me!

I jest...the pizza is really good.

Mockabee "only" 200 yards which is the bigger deal. If we get some stops against HH and SR...the offense should provide enough points to win.

GS is at least a dark horse in 3A south.

Pangea is to Turoni's what Panera Bread is to Subway....you're sounding like a private school kid Tango...LOL.

It is clear every week that you would prefer different formations and play calling. Maybe you are right I don't know. I have a feeling the staff has a pretty good idea where the ball should go LOL.

Thanks for having us....crazy year, we have lost a freshman to varsity and we had our #1 o-lineman contact traced out for this game. I personally coached these kids from 4th through 8th grade. They have a great work ethic as a group.

Gibson Southern Freshman football defeats North Knox JV 28-22. Gibson Southern JV football defeats Princeton 64-0.

They did end up scrapping it because it was going to be a sh!t show with travel etc. for the rural teams.

Just ask Illinois how much they love that....particularly the rural areas.

Yes sir....waiver completed.

Nope....this part of the argument is total, complete, unadulterated BS. I would like to see #1 and #2 on opposite sides of the sectional bracket...if blowouts are the issue let 1 play 3, 2 play 4 and so on....as opposed to 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7.

We are not talking about post season play here, of course play off games mean more when they might be the last game you ever play. Some believe there is no relevance to regular season games unless there is a playoff qualification system, to each their own, but even if one doesn't care about conference implications...down here in SWI every Friday is the superbowl. I am sorry if some parts of the state don't get to experience that. There is nothing you could have done last night in SWI with regard to qualification to change last nights Castle vs Jasper or Memorial vs North or even Gibson Southern vs Princeton. All of these games had specific undertones, nuances, sub plots and meanings...nothing about qualification could have impacted that. Make your blow-out arguments and arguments regarding impending qualification after seeding begins....but I will never buy the BS about our games needing some sort of adrenaline boost. It's just not true.

And you will never convince me that a qualification system make one bit of difference in the level of play. I may be the one in the minority....I know @Bobref agrees with you.

We will have to agree to disagree because you aren't going to get it. I guess different folks are motivated differently. A game is never meaningless, we battle for the W...that is all that is needed.

The argument made here year after year is that kids will somehow play harder, or that the games will magically become more competitive. You see you and I have a completely different perspective on what "meaningful" is. We do all we can regardless of what it qualifies us for. I can tell you there is nothing you can do in SWI to make the games mean more to anyone. There are valid arguments for a qualification system but "factually" speaking, "meaning" is not one of them.

If you live in a part of the state where a qualification playoff system will make your regular season games more "meaningful" ....I sincerely feel so so sorry for you.
