It's just not really a thing anymore (ie 8th grade being the first opportunity to play as a "mini/cub" version of the HS in the HS colors). Seems like only a few schools hold on to the old concept. IMHO Youth leagues should be 1st through 6th grades. Full middle school schedules for both 7th and 8th graders under their middle/feeder school name or HS name when appropriate.

For the love of God please stop using the word CUB...particularly as it relates to football.

What a beautiful tailgate area LOL.

This thread goes to prove that HS football is kinda like the stock market....you know that disclaimer that the brokers use...past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

I can attest to them being in 4A....where they know they belong. 🙂

Tigerfan20 hinted all last season from the get go that perhaps Ellsperman shouldn't be the guy. Is Tigerfan20 Fisher's Dad? LOL

Not this time! LOL

Meet Michael Jasaitis the "region" lawyer with a 100% success rate against the IHSAA in transfer cases. He is the guy Neidig no longer wants in the room so that he can bully unsophisticated parents. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2021/02/23/ihsaa-transfer-process-under-fire-claims-bullying-being-unprofessional-indiana-eligibility-review/6751342002/

When Chatard plays at Lawrence North in post season and it snows...apparently no one pays to have it removed...so it just doesn't get done.

2022 South All Stars from the PAC Aiden Jochem (Southridge) Rory Heltsley (Gibson Southern) Ethan Hill (Heritage Hills) Hayden Durnil (So Spencer)

Very easy as 3rd through JV run it.

I think it's worth mention that the offense was significantly modified from what it was in the 7 years BA was not the QB. We "were" a read option offense before BA. Obviously for us to deviate from who we were, it took an exceptional pro-style talent to do that. I think for another pro-style QB to get his foot in the door he would also have to be an exceptional talent. An athletic running QB, who can throw, would be a return to more of how the offense was originally intending to operate.

My own personal survey of 3 HCs said they would like to have 1 non-conference game. I don't think any of them "need" it...or any of them who think they wouldn't be just fine without it. I'm just saying, I bet almost all would say it would be a nice thing to be able to have that game to play with, to either create a new rivalry, play down when your down, play up when your up, or for as a reason as dumb and tying the SIAC into the rest of the state for Sagarin. I don't think anyone in 3A was bummed Chatard is where they belong in 4A or even Memorial for that matter. But this season it wouldn't have mattered. Anyone not located on Lincoln Ave. that knows football will tell you that. Yes, the SIAC is a clearly superior conference to the PAC in EVERY sport. It is supposed to be, it is a metro area 4A and 5A conference (primarily). The PAC is primarily a rural 2A and 3A conference. We will NEVER have the athlete pool the SIAC does (especially the P&Ps), for that reason our HC really likes the flexibility of his non-conference schedule. That said, Heritage Hills continues to use the entirety of it's non-conference schedule to play schools on the small side of the conference and despite that, they made it to a state championship game. There is zero logic to this analysis. Here is the thing, Memorial isn't the Memorial of 2017 and 2018 every year. Gibson Southern isn't the Gibson Southern of 2015 and 2021 every year. To sit here and try to give some games more merit than others in the 6 matchups is just silly. Memorial has a great HC and a nice staff, even that QB coach isn't horrible...so they are never bad. GS's record is about the same in regular season each year (especially before we got the non conference flexibility) for the up years and the down years, so doing a record comparison of the teams you beat in the series is just silly. Memorials 3 wins aren't any "better" that the 3 GS wins.... period end of story. A series is a series...I would expect a baseball guy to say we only lost because our stud wasn't pitching LOL (so the games you won don't count LMAO), and that is what you are saying here (the stud being Memorial 2017-2018). I try not to rank our last 11 teams but 2017 and 2018 aren't at the top of our pack either. Not to mention beating us by 9 in 2016 and 2017 may have been Memorials closest games in the playoffs I'm to lazy to research it. More iffy logic here. First off, wasn't it Memorial guys on here in the past talking about how "transitive" property doesn't work in football. Well whoever it was, they were right. It was 21-7 with GS and LB at half and everyone in the stadium felt like a running clock was eminent. Came right out after half and made it 28-7 (there was no "struggling"). We got a little cute in the second half expecting them to lay down and made a couple silly errors to let them back in it. In a 7 game series we running clock that team 4 out of 7. Memorial would have been just another bug on the windshield this season. I know at tailgates and cocktail parties, it's fun to talk about the state championship that got away from the Tigers this year if success factor hadn't cheated them out of what they deserve, what is implicit in the contract. But, even given the advantages they have when playing in 3A, this year probably wouldn't have been the year. neutral field [2021] South Warren (Bowling Green, KY) 31, [2021] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 17 neutral field [2021] Brebeuf Jesuit Prep (Indianapolis, IN) 27, [2021] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 22 neutral field [2021] Gibson Southern (Fort Branch, IN) 34, [2021] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 22 That said Memorial was really good this year. In Fact probably about as good as our second best team in the Hart era. neutral field [2021] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 28, [2015] Gibson Southern (Fort Branch, IN) 27 The simple fact is most years Memorial is going to be better than us and they should be as a Metro P&P. It should never be close between a Metro P&P with a top notch coaching staff and a rule public school in a corn field. For that reason I don't think most Titan fans feel any kind of rivalry exist at all between these two teams. Rivalries, when at their best in high school sports, are between very "like" or "similar" schools, like a GS and HH for example. Somehow, by the grace of God, GS as been the most consistently winning 3A public school in the state for the Hart era. Yes, I would personally enjoy that uphill battle against a Metro P&P like Memorial as non-conference game. It would be very cool. Was it nice beating Memorial at their homecoming this year in both JV and Varsity basketball....YES it was, but more in that David Goliath kind of way, you know that old testament stuff first book of Samuel (as devout Catholics I'm sure you guys are familiar with that story). But not really in a Rivalry way.

I also hope for Lincoln to be moved to 32. Memorial is where it belongs for sectionals so at least an opportunity for a regular season matchup would have been nice for GS to take the 4-3 lead in the Hurley Hart era. I almost called that the HH era, but didn't want to get the boys from Spencer County excited LOL.

About the time Memorial gets back to 3A (if it ever happens)....GS will be getting dang close to 4A, oh the irony of it all LOL. I still think the SIAC having 1 non-conference game would be a change that if you surveyed all the coaches in the conference, it would win the vote easily.

Yeah...I'm bummed. Come on VL go try these guys:

VL decides to stay in the SIAC after the PAC says...thanks...but no thanks. https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/03/11/vincennes-lincoln-remains-southern-indiana-athletic-conference/6994885001/

I think you beat Mt. Vernon game 1! In fact, I'd bet heavily on it.

Right....so if there are any others coming from IL, that would be news to me.

If the state rotates one way you could see Pike C. , Washington, Princeton and Vincennes in 32. Or you could see HH and SR go back east and 32 gets Owen Valley and West Vigo....looking like sectional 30 from last year plus GS and MV.

The Freshman QB last year was an IL transfer. There is plenty of film out there on him if anyone is concerned.

Well looks like I could be wrong. Being told adjust numbers show Mater Dei at 496, Pike Central 512 and Southridge 517.

Agree Mater Dei will be 2A and Pike Central will be 3A.
