A school employee had a relationship with a student (allegedly).

What a bad decision. I'm sure the lawsuit against the school corp is just around the corner.

Reitz at Mater Dei - Gotta go with the more disciplined team in this one. MD 27 - 13 Bosse at Harrison - Bosse is just not good. HHS 35-12 Lincoln at Jasper - Jasper seems to be putting some things together. Give me the JCats 24-17 North at Central - Central won't be able to stop the run. North 42-7 Castle at Memorial - Game of the Week. SIAC on the line. Throwbacks at Bosse Field. Tigers 34-14

I remember seeing a Memorial soccer game or two there in the late 1970's in the first year of the program (when it was actually co-ed). The field ran LF to RF.

Yep, that was when the outfield fence was the actual brick wall. Now, with the shorter fence and "box" seating down the lines there isn't room to go that direction without removing structure the Otters don't want to move. I wouldn't want to do it every year, but once a decade is pretty cool.

I really hope he gets a chance to play and has success. He had a bad break at Cincy that cost him two good years. It illustrates how incredible (and sometimes lucky) a player has to be to succeed at the college level.

Don't you know the brain trust at the IHSAA is smarter than anyone else? Lieutenant Danielle!

You do a great job with those previews, HHPatriots. I hope I get to see one including my Tigers in 3 weeks. Lots of history in that match-up.

Memorial will be on the 1st base side and Castle will be on the 3rd base side.

Never been a fan of breakfast for dinner. Not sure why really.

Not really. We are reasonable people for the most part.

Good. Let's just beat Castle by 21 and keep it simple.

Me too. I'm bummed. I was already planning a Bloody Mary Mother of God bar, hashbrowns, sausage links from Old Fashioned and pancakes. Now I guess it'll just be Busch Lights and hotdogs on Friday...

Dang it. Now I'm hearing Friday at Central.

I'm told Memorial's FRL is 15%. Curious as to whether any of the local GIDers think that is higher than expected..

For the record, I support an adjustment like this far more than a p/p multiplier or even a "Success Factor" that can potentially punish a group of kids for success had by their predecessors. While not perfect, it does seem to hitting the nail closer to the head. Factoring in kids with disabilities like Foxbat said seems pretty simple too.

That's what I heard from a pretty good source. Reitz plays at home Friday and Coach Goebel did not want to play at Central, North or Enlow (LOL) - all 3 are open on Friday. I'm actually a little surprised. I prefer Saturday myself. It is hard for fans to have a proper tailgate when the games start at 6:30. A sunrise from atop Reitz Hill is probably beautiful. .

He is a great player. What films do you have? Pretty much anyone playing Bosse and Central looks next level. Castle ran all over Reitz, but Reitz is without its best LB and their D secondary is very soft. They wanted no part of tackling McCool in what I saw. Overall, Castle has some very good players and they seem to be coming together at the right time. Giving up 21 to MD in the second half to lose still makes me scratch my head.

Agreed.

So as I understand it... GS Current Enrollment 771 (per IHSAA enrollments & classifications) Less FRL -65 (163 x 40%) Adjusted Enrollment 706. Is that right? I may be wrong (usually am), but I don't see that moving the needle all that much. For a large urban public school I get that it would. Could this also possibly be a "be careful what you wish for" kind of thing for non-urban publics if a large urban 6A gets adjusted down into 5A (or maybe even 4A)?

Where do you even look for that kind of data? Is it online?

I believe Memorial will be on the third base side and Castle on the first base side.

I've seen a lot more $75,000 trucks at our games with Gibson Southern with Titan stickers than at our games at Enlow, but maybe it's just poor unsubsidized farmers...

Like at a wedding?

Heard Memorial at Mater Dei will be Saturday at 11am, so is it brunch or breakfast tailgate?
