John Glenn High School football coach charged with battery against student (wndu.com)

Sort of a surprise but a decision is made what is best for the person

Nope.  There have been surveys with suggestions.  They brought it down to the top 20 then the final 3  They have had the students /and SJ family involved.  The favorite among those who were close to Fr. Bly is the Rams.  He had told people for years that if the Indians ever had to go it should be the Rams.  I hope not the Huskies since Hartford, Michigan which the tribe went after also, chose that one.  The only one close to the name was the Workermen after St. Joseph the Worker 

The final 3 names for the new nickname for St. Joe are:

RAMS
HUSKIES
BUFFALO

Thanks for all the help

Is there a list of all of the high schools nicknames in the State of Indiana anyone know about?
Thanks for the help

2024 schedules are stating to come out on John Harrell's football.  NIC is playing week3-9 conference games.

Changing up where some games have been played

St. Joe plays Marian earlier and not at the end of the season  Marian now closes with Riley  Elkhart ends the year with Adams

Riley has picked up FW Wayne

See what else comes out 

So 46 sports reported Penn dropped Cathedral and Hammond Morton and cancelled the Carmel contract.  They will play Washington and Riley.  Yeoman states he is glad they were able to keep Valpo and Mishawaka at the beginning of the season.  Apperas softball and baseball are not happy since in 25 they go to playing each NIC team 2 home and home.  It means losing games against better competition.  The other sports were saying they were looking forward to picking up new competition

If Penn were to opt out of NIC football, Culver as a full member would work.  Plus you can have odd numbers in the other sports.  

Just think a natural thing to do

Plus the way SB is head in 3 years there may be only 2 high schools

Heard that in December the Mishawaka school board is going to vote to install field turf for the 2024 season

So, the Elkhart Administration let go their football coach after just two seasons.  Guess, the program was not going in the direction they expected.

Also heard the NIC schedule will be begin on Week 3 through week 9

Not confirmed but was told in week three RIley plays Penn and in week 9 Marian,

NIC team # 2 in a regional final

The making of another outstanding game

A big game happening at Penn this Friday.  This could be a great one

One NIC team in a regional championship

Warsaw at Penn, 7 pm

New Prairie at Culver Academy, 7:30 pm

Glenn at Knox, 7 pm

Bremen at LaVille, 7 pm

So 4 NIC Teams are playing in sectional championships

If Penn gets up on Warsaw and takes them out of their comfort zone, I saw Penn moves on

Having seen both New Prairie and Culver Academy.  NP has more than Culver does but they need to get off the bus ready to play

Glenn goes to Know.  Long time coaches Radtke and Barron,  Gt feeling is Knox

Bremen goes to their neighbor.  Laville finally got by Andrean.  They want to raise that trophy

@ASJCPUMA thank you for continuing to Post for the NIC, even though St. Joe has been knocked out. 

Through the years I have enjoyed high school football and basketball  Went to many game that did not involved the team I follow.  Interested in what local teams do.  Last night I went up to Niles and watch them for 2/3 of the game.  Their QB and RBs are athletic and quick.  May go up there again next Friday.  Whether we agree with the direction of the NIC it is what we have right now.  The future, who knows?

5a and 6A join the competition this week

Elkhart (3-6) at Penn (8-1), 7 pm

Concord (5-4) at Adams (1-8), 7 pm

New Prairie (8-2) at Kankakee Valley (5-5), 8 pm

Washington (3-7) at NorthWood (8-2), 7 pm

Fairfield (6-4) at Glenn (6-4), 7 pm

Wheeler (6-3) at Bremen (5-5), 7:30 pm

Seems like the more competitive games are in 3A and 2A this week.  The favorites in the top 4 games should move on to Sectional Championships (concord, Penn, New Prairie, Northwood)

Friday, Oct. 20

Hobart at New Prairie, 8 pm

Washington at Plymouth, 7 pm

NorthWood at St. Joseph, 7 pm

Riley at Wawasee, 7 pm

Jimtown at Fairfield, 7 pm

Clay at Glenn, 7 pm

Marian at West Noble, 7 pm

Bremen at Bishop Noll, 7:30 pm

Here are the games for the opening night of sectionals.  The Hobart/New Prairie game is the eye catcher here.  Off the filed the big news is the Adams QB Clark is now at Riley.  Seems like an odd time to switch schools

Bremen JV at Clay, 7 pm

Clay plays its last regular season game as a high school in the South Bend schools -  Can they make it 3 in a row?

Bremen - TV:  TV has a special season happening and no change seen on that front

Glenn -Washington:  The Falcons should take care of the Panthers 

New Prairie -Elkhart:  If all things are good with NP I see the Cougars winning.  Surprised with the outcome of the Elk-Marian game last week

Adams-Penn:  Kingsmen are NIC champs.  Will there be a running clock after halftime?

Jimtown-Riley:  Not confident here with RIley.  They won the title last week and will they come out float or eager to win agaian.  If Jimtown wins does that mean they do not share since they have one less win?

SJ-Marian:  The "HOLY WAR".  You never know what to expect with this game.  Both teams 4-4.  Comparing scores I would give SJ a slight edge but then Marian beat Elkhart last week by a solid score.  The early forecast is not promising with a large amount of rain expected at week's end.  At least the game is on turf.  SJ has to eliminate the holding calls that have plagued them recently as the first step in my mind.  Expect anything at Fr. Bly Field Friday night

according to one of the refs last night  it is not an if but it is 7 games in the NIC.  Someone should ask Greg Humnicky.  He is Mr. NIC

 I felt the Penn D was the best D I had seen this season in the NIC and it proved out.  Regardless of how healthy players were they attack and tackle well.  Now how will it hold up to teams in the INdy area if they get there.  That is another story.  But they are very good in these parts

Friday, Oct. 6

Saturday, Oct. 7

Tippecanoe Valley at Glenn, 7 pm

THE game is Penn at New Prairie - Having seen both teams they each have an offense with play makers.  To me it seems Penn's pass offense which had many patterns last Friday night may give them the advantage.  SJ threw the ball well against NP and Penn has a QB that can sling it.  I give the D advantage to Penn as they are quick and react well.  Games like this you never know what will happen but it appears Penn is in line to win the conference.

Bremen - Riley - How will the Cats recover from their 1st loss?  Bremen does not appear to have the team to stay with the Cats

Elkhart - Marian - The Lions seems to be playing better.  They have the athletes.  Marian cannot look ahead to the "Holy War"  Elkhart

CA - St. Joe St. Joe comes back home  after playing the big 3 in the past 3 weeks.  With several starters out last week SJ still played hard and will have to do so this week. This game is usually an interesting game each year - SJ

Adams - Jimtown - Adams has struggled I think more than people thought they would.  Jimtown has played some tough teams out of conference - Jimmies

Washington - Hamilton Heights - long bus ride to Hamilton Heights for the Panthers.  The Huskies are 7-0 and shut out their opponents in the last 5 games. HH

John Glenn JV  - SB Clay -  Clay tasted their win in a long time.  They did not fare well with the last JV team they played.  Maybe the taste of victory carries over.

Tippy Valley - Glenn -  Tippy Valley is 7-0  They beat Jimtown and last week West Lafayette.  Have to lean to Tippy

This is the third time I had heard that there will be 7 conference games and 2 non conference games.  I have not heard if it will be 2 NC then 7 C or another way.

Elkhart played Massilon, Ohio and  Hammond Morton this year.  SJ had FW South in week 2 and this was first year of 4.  Week 8 has been Culver Academy so who goes? 

It seems AD's will be making scheduling changes with other schools.

I also have heard baseball will play each other NIC school 2 times home/home

I find it interesting some of the comments.  A coach comes in and if I recall won 1 game in 3 years.  Is he a good fit for Riley?  So far sounds it plus a coupe of kids who came in with their dad, a coach, helped.  The NP line may not be their biggest but the strength in their upper body and arms I took notice when we played them.  The have to be discipline enough to stop the NP QB but there are other weapons there.  So you cannot focus on one but it is the main one.  I have only read about RIley.  So have to say it does sound like the best SB team since the WHS team that made it to state,  This game will be a good indication until Riley gets to the sectional round. (Northridge, Northwood, Logansport, Plymouth, St. Joe, Washington, and Wawasee).  But the game will be played on a nice night for football and see how it all plays out.

Not sure how what I said got pulled into this because clearly you are not talking to me. 

If Elkhart's athletes come to play it will be over early.  The speed will run by the Eagles

LaVille coming off a tough loss to Knox - think the Lancers will come out to win this one over Glenn

Marian makes the drive to Angola and comes home with a win over the winless Hornets

Bremen should handle Prairie Heights

Will Riley be able to contain the NP QB is the first big question.  Then throw in the young RB.  Will NP dare the Cats to throw to stop the run.  This game could be very interesting.  This is where we will see how far Riley has come

Penn is the class of the NIC it appears.  While SJ has improved it is still working to correct some flaws happening.  Penn to win but maybe not as big as some think

Washington to Jimtown and a long bus ride home - Jimtown

Is this the week Clay tastes a "V"?  North Newton has a long bus ride up I-65 to the Toll Road to get to Clay.  The game is at noon Saturday which is 11 a.m. in Newton Co.  If the Colonials come out and play they should bring home the "W"
