So what you are saying is there is a difference between Evansville Reitz and Evansville Reitz Memorial?

Looks like Kentucky includes all the stats stuff...wonder if they just pull that straight in from MaxPreps or have their own input system.

I umpire for Cal Ripken 9-10s and 11-12s....does that make me an official? I am an "typical" youth football coach....I know very little about the game and I am a homer to the endth degree. 😊

Interesting opinion piece regarding Purdue: https://www.si.com/college/purdue/football/purdue-mitch-daniels-plan-students-return

It will be nice to see a fresh coat of that bright red!

LOL...sounds almost the same as the PAC golf tournament being at Christmas Lake (crazy but true). In addition, Coach Hart is going to observe moratorium. I think 7 on 7 in the wave pool would be awesome!

"The recommendations presented in this document are intended as ideas for state associations to consider with their respective SMACs and other stakeholders in designing return-to-activity guidelines that will be in accordance with state or local restrictions. Please note that the phases of “opening up” outlined below are based upon the White House document released in April 2020. Consult your state and local health departments to review if they are using a similar approach, or how the phases in this document correspond to your state or local governments nomenclature." So based on this quote above the NFHS document somewhat follows the National and Indiana guidelines for the first three phases. To me, it clearly is not a document intended for guidance all the way to August.

Keep in mind stage 3 ends June 13th for Indiana: Stage 4 Possible start dates: June 14 What's new: Face coverings: Now optional Social gatherings: Up to 250 people State government buildings: Access restrictions will be lifted Professional office buildings: Employees may resume work at full capacity Retail stores and malls: Open at full capacity with social distancing guidelines in place Dining room service: May open at 75% capacity Bar seating in restaurants: May open at 50% capacity Bars and nightclubs: May open at 50% capacity adhering to social distancing guidelines Cultural, entertainment and tourism businesses: May open at 50% capacity. This includes museums, zoos, bowling alleys and aquariums. Recreational sports leagues and tournaments: May resume Large venues: May open with social gatherings guidelines Amusement parks and water parks: Facilities may open at 50% capacity; reservations will be required to limit the number of customers at any one time. Most vulnerable population: Hoosiers 65 and over and those with high-risk health conditions should follow social distancing guidelines and remain cautious. Stage 5 Possible start dates: July 4 What's new: Retail stores and malls: May operate at full capacity Restaurants, bars, and nightclubs: May operate at full capacity Personal services: May open at full capacity Gyms and fitness facilities: No restrictions Large events: Conventions, sports events, fairs, festivals, the state fair and similar events may resume. Amusement parks, water parks: Restrictions are lifted. Social distancing guidelines should be maintained. Most vulnerable population: Hoosiers 65 and over and those with high-risk health conditions should follow social distancing guidelines and remain cautious.

I wouldn't count the Patriots or Raiders or Pioneers out. IB means "I believe"....we have been through this LOL.

Oh I forgot...you may have heard of a new guy on the staff.....last name starts with a "G" LOL.

As you know it's hard to find a team over the past 8 years that has been able to maintain as high a level of consistency year over year as this program has (and yes that can mean we consistently lose to a team that ends up in Lucas LOL). Lot's of kids play and lots of kids waiting for their opportunity and lots of kids got playing time last season. This schedule obviously isn't designed to be the first sentence in a post season news paper article. It will be brutal out of the gate. I honestly don't know enough about what each opponent will bring to the table to make "predictions" I am willing to stand behind. My guess is something between 4-0 and 1-3 LOL....and all of those scenarios are just fine as long as we compete and improve. I think our Junior and Senior classes blend nicely, and will be battle tested for the last half of the season and into the playoffs. It also looks like the lower levels schedules will follow suit. Here are the holes that will be filled: Offense LT- LG- C- RG- #79 Braden Tucker RT- #64 Alex Breivogel R- #22 Logan Murfin L- Slot- Slot- RB- QB- #18 Brady Allen Defense NT- DT- #52 Tannor Moskos DT- #43 Logan Fauquher Sam- Bandit- Mike- Will- #10 Carter Green CB- CB- S- S- #15 Noah Bryant

I am not talking about travel. I think many HS programs are going to offer "voluntary" workouts throughout July in an effort to make up for some of the lost reps during the season. Although there is a lot of talk about "travel" baseball on these GID threads, most HS baseball coaches don't count on reps from "travel" baseball. I suspect here will be some similar basketball activity.

Will most of you guys see Football three days a week and Baseball three days a week in July? I love both sports but that seems like a busy month for kids who play them both, not to mention significant contact with a lot of people.

Just a thought, and if I have missed it in the thread I apologize. If Indiana pushes back the start date of school for some period of time...there would definitely be an impact for those of us who play games out of state if those states don't follow the exact same delay strategy (or vise versa).

My guess is many coaches will still observe moratorium anyway (as people may have some sort of family plan that week).

I would add that some players are making strength gains right now that simply wouldn't be possible under a regular schedule. I know a few.

Also heard her say on an interview that school looking completely normal in August is "pie in the sky"....whatever that means.

I believe there is an immunity form what I have read...what is in doubt is how long. The TIME article I read was a couple weeks old but the experts they interviewed thought 1 to 3 years....with younger folks having a more robust immune response therefore a longer period of immunity.

This is a great question that really goes to the larger issue which is Trojan Dad's point. This isn't the flu...so every time a kid tests positive in the building there will be contact tracing. Then I suspect ALL of the kids contacted will have to go home and self quarantine for 2 weeks? Seems like in high school buildings and on football teams there is a LOT of "contact". Feels like this is going to be very difficult to manage to me. Or...do some of you just think since it doesn't tend to affect young people as badly that there won't be contact tracing for this age group and fully expect asymptomatic kids to be all over the place anyway? Or...by August do we not care because enough people have had it that the health care system won't be over run?

Just my opinion and you know what that is worth...but in a slow rolled return to normalcy...I believe we will see sports at all levels with zero or limited fans. Just like there could be a return to school but still maintaining social distance in other venues (particularly entertainment).

True...but mitigating risk is what it is all about. 200 players and coaches at a HS football game is easier to swallow than 3,000 folks. I would support whatever it takes to get the games played.
