Thank you. I stand corrected. I was there at Reitz bowl too. I guess I successfully erased that game from my memory. 🙂

Linton was totally outmanned by a much superior MD team. First time in history Linton had a running clock rule imposed on them. Most of Linton's kids will be back next year. They'll be bigger, stronger, and better.

It wouldn't be feasible to have one school in Greene County due to the geographic size of the county. Two schools definitely does make sense though with east and west divided by White river which splits the county down the middle. Eastern And Bloomfield in the east with WRV, Linton and Shakamak in the west. That should have been done long ago.

No fans at the game Friday. Coaches, players' family members, and cheer leaders only.

I haven't heard anything about that.

Probably find out late Wednesday. If there's anything it will likely be pre-sale only.

Yes, Dan, I certainly wish I could listen to you guys on the radio and watch the stream. There is a device one can buy to allow this. It is called a sports sinc radio. I used to have one but it quit working. I could adjust the radio for delay on the TV to sinch with the radio broadcast. I will probably get another one sometime. BTW, last Friday was the first time I ever watched a home game on stream. Since the camera was on the visiting side I couldn't see the yards or down markers. So in addition to never knowing the time left, I didn't know the down or first down yardage. The announcers rarely mention any of that. Of course, that's really not important. :-). I can't remember when I last missed a Miner home game. Many years ago.

Our Dugger boys are from Sullivan County. 🙂

We won't know about that until later in the week. It will be live streamed on GCSN.

We won't know until next Wednesday.

You're good to go. OK for radio and GCSN

No fans permitted at the Linton / North Posey game Friday night. Families and coaches only. Greene County has come up with an orange color code designation this week. Not good.

It may be a while before SR comes back to 2A. I believe if they win the Regional they stay up for the next classification. Am I not correct about that?

I would only add this. The Miner team on the field Friday night would likely beat the first game Miner team handily. Probably a lot of teams can say the same thing, though. We had three three senior starters that didn't suit up for one reason or another including speedy outside threat, WB Kaulin Padgett. Also the starting QB is now a WB. Lot of other changes since that first game. The Miners are better now as they should be at this time of the year. A measure of good coaching.

One has to feel bad for Tell City having a great season to end like that. Obviously, they were not a full strength. No doubt it would have been a more competitive game if Tell City had all the pieces intact. The Miners are playing very well defensively and offensively right now and I think we would have won the game anyway but who knows. I'm sure TC feels differently. Linton has been fortunate thus far to not have had any covid issues. The loss to North Knox three weeks ago seems to have been a needed wake-up call for the team and coaches. A rematch with NK seemed unlikely when the playoffs began but not so much now. North Knox is really rolling right now and beating Mater Dei is not out of the question and the Miners will be favored against North Posey at home. Linton suffered a blow last night when their biggest and perhaps best lineman suffered what appears to be a broken leg. The team seems to be really energized right now.

Yes, I've seen tons of games like that and I've seen our coaches get the JV kids in early but I don't recall in my long history of watching my team play that they ever lost a game to a huge underdog team because they didn't care if they lost. Not ever at Linton. Every loss for the Miners is an unwanted stain. That's just the way it is. Maybe it's not that important at some other places.

Every game has significance. I can't imagine any HS team tanking a game just because...whatever.

The number 1 and 2 teams in Sectional 40,Tell City and Linton, according to Sagaran, meet in the first round at Tell City.

Not real sure. The Miners took the week off last week. I think they're going to show up this Friday. 🙂

I was told the Miner practice was rather, shall we say "intense" last evening and I'm sure it will continue all week. Through no fault of their own, Eastern Green is likely to catch the brunt of the Miners' ire Friday night.

I remember that 2009 loss well. Linton lost at NK 15 -7. Never were the Miner fans so angry and frustrated. So was coach Weber. That week Weber completely scrapped the offense they were running and started over. They rolled through the rest of the season and the sectional including the 44 - 0 win over North Knox at home. However, I can't see that happening if the teams should meet again. Linton could conceivably win but it won't be a blowout. Right now I would say that NK is better than Linton. It would take a heck of an effort for Linton to turn it around.

I'm still alive and well. Actually not so well after my night at Williams field last evening. It was painful to watch the Miners take a complete beat-down like they got from the Warriors. The Linton line was completely dominated on both sides of the ball. I think the outstanding NK back #12 had over 250 yards. Very un-Linton-like defense. Congratulations to North Knox. They came to play and took care of business. I'll have to do some checking but I know it's been a long time since Linton lost a homecoming football game.

Apparently, Linton's best lineman, Donovan Debruhl, will not play tonight. Concussion last week.

I do think that North Daviess is improved and getting better. I just feel like the Miners' rushing offense will be too much. If Linton wasn't so one dimensional offensively they could be really good but that one dimension is enough for weaker teams. Against Boonville Linton put up 42 points in the loss but completed one pass for 3 yards. It's not that they don't try to pass, they just have very little success. As for the score I predicted, I could be way off. I just threw that out there. as for the score I predicted

My prediction is 59 - 13 with caveat. ND won't be able to slow Linton's running game. Second half running clock and how early JV plays makes final score prediction difficult.
