North and South wouldnt have half the difficulties CG and Carmel do. I'm still not sure what the HHC solves for either of them? Right now, South has 5 games (6 until TH consolidates) that would be easy to play every year East, Martinsville, Bloom North, THS/THN and Columbus North... Plus already have Brebuef scheduled.. Scheduling Castle, Reitz, Plainfield, Danville, East Central, BNL, Roncalli, Chatard... is all that difficult?

Columbus North beat Whiteland 49-7 this season...

I'm not trying to sound "too disrespectful" on a public forum. I just vehemently disagree that these two schools going to the HHC is a good idea for basically anyone.

CN and BS are better off independent. They're close enough to Indy to make that work. BS can schedule Castle/Reitz now that Vincennes is getting out of the SIAC.. they can also schedule the Terre Haute consolidation.. along with Martinsville, Mooresville, Bloom North, and they should try to get an arrangement with East Central. But again, they can play multiple Indy schools. BNL would be a good option. North, obviously the Indy schools are easy, they can look at cinci/some Louisville schools, too. Franklin/Whiteland are both solid options, too. Absolute malpractice some of these ideas.

Luers is not up for success factor. Their enrollment is 3A.

JV BC 54 Seymour 22

Gotcha. Probably also knew Ponds wasn't going to play.

If it was then you were correct, I had not seen it there since last Wednesday/Thursday.

yeah I don't like the idea at all... now I would get rid of the blind draw for the winners of sectionals for match ups in regionals... it was flat out stupid Jennings Couny played Princeton, Brownstown played Evansville Memorial in the 3A deep south regionals. That is absurdly stupid. JC vs BC should have been at Seymour (that's 8K+) Ev Mem vs Princeton at Washington.. another hefty crowd. Instead... you sent BC to Washington against EM, and JC to Southridge against Princeton. That is laughably stupid.

line was -8.5

There is no one in main street Clarksville districted somewhere else. Idk if my "edit" part came through... growing up, I had a Seymour address, but I was in Brownstown school corporation. But our bills, all that went to Brownstown. I'm not sure those individuals aren't just choosing to go elsewhere, regardless of where the district lines are actually formed. I get what you're saying, and it does seem like there is some "anomaly" feel to Clarksville. To me, there is literally no difference in Clarksville and New Albany, at all, it literally runs together... BUT it crosses county lines.

not everyone attending Columbus schools are from Columbus either. Some are within Jennings Co, Seymour, Brown Co, and Hauser Some might have a Clarksville address but in a different school district, sure, .... heck growing up, I was a Seymour address but Brownstown school district.

1... at least some of the reason was because Henryville and Borden didn't want to give money for football 2... they always have... They are closer to New Albany, really, but that's across county lines. I mean, it's hard to just absorb an additional 400 ish students. 3.... same as Columbus? Where you all haven't had district lines forever... 4... Plenty of consolidations could/should happen... people are too proud/lazy/or any number of other reasons (some being good reasons)

Columbus North FR 34 BC FR 12 Great game! Tremendous day for football!

Absolutely use AR in the RZ more. You don't have to take Jones out to do that.

Finally an actual detailed response. Thank you. Stupid you guys need to do all that to fly a drone to film football, but it is what it is. Thanks coach

I think both of those schools should stay independent in football, especially with their locations.

Well... you'd hope. Good crews, sure, that's definitely the case. I can see that, maybe, there would be an issue locating if a ball is trapped or not if you were to move him. But, imo, the positives would still outweigh the negatives. I was -19

I participated to the extent that this poster and the article given deserve. The post was reported, and then I stated my confusion in the correct thread.

"Indiana High School Football Forum"

I just don't agree. They are in the way more often than they aren't, many of them aren't even looking at what they should be, only following the ball. I don't think they do a good job at all of seeing passes over the middle and they should basically never be calling PI. He can still have conversations with OL/DL with being positioned in a different spot. I don't believe the umpire or the NFL would love to move them back in the middle.

Maybe. But they are out of the way.

I don't see why the size of the crew matters for moving the ump. The ump is in the way.

Kentucky moved theirs to back by the head official. There is no advantage to the umpire being stationed where is in the state of Indiana. They get in the way, in fact. Kentucky also uses 6 officials.

I mean, no where in Indiana is close to Vincennes. It was still an hour drive to everywhere in Evansville for them.
