I believe the 09/30/2022 game between the FJ Reitz Panthers and Reitz Memorial Tigers will be the 100th meeting of the two schools in football.

The Mt. Vernon Fortville Marauders broke the spell this year.

Not a surprise. Now the SIAC ADs need to get together and create 2 divisions to free up Wks. 1-2 for non-conference games.

Ahhh. Bad info. A frosh isn't really a transfer, right? BTW, I meant nothing negative with the post at all. I think any HS athlete should be able to transfer whenever and wherever they want. Nobody makes the speech, band or German club kid sit out a year if they transfer. All three of our primary RBs graduated. We have a transfer from Central, who came to them from Westfield, but last I heard Central was not releasing him. I hear we also have a transfer from Mater Dei. I suspect nobody on the GID will care about that one. Transfer portal, school choice, I guess you can call it whatever you want, but why shouldn't a kid be able to attend whatever school he or she wants and fully participate in all extra-curricular activities that help them become well-rounded young adults? Ouch. That has to sting. I wonder if they will try to come back to the SIAC?

No?

I heard GS was getting a transfer from IL who is a QB...

That is correct Coach. Both use the turf fields for all sorts of athletic and non-athletic purposes. Great investments for each school.

Any chance the Titans schedule some real Tigers in Wk. 8?

The student that transferred to Memorial came for the academics.

You had any denied?

I already knew all that. Known it for years... Also know the kids who went to Reitz have been cleared. Because the EVSC and IHSAA is all about the kids...

Yes, a former player from Central has enrolled at Memorial but last I heard he has not been released and is going through IHSAA appeal.

Says he's accepting another position elsewhere. It's tough to build anything when there's a revolving door on the coach's office.

Heard they picked up several from Central who've all been released for full participation?

No way we trade Jasper for Washington...

I sure as heck don't want to schedule Cathedral. There is nothing to gain for either school. Cathedral is in a league with CG and few others when it comes to quality and quantity of athletes. We are close to 2A enrollment and already razor thin depth-wise trying to compete in 4A. Last season is a prime example. Barely escape a very good East Central in Regional and then nip and tuck with MV Fortville in Semi-State until our SIAC POY RB goes down mid-3rd Q with a separated shoulder and that, as they say, was all she wrote... Memorial and GS needs to happen.

Its mostly just clickbait... I think last year there was a pretty good drop off after MD, maybe North. You could argue there was a drop-off between 1 and 2 too. Unfortunately we'll never know. I see no real benefit to a long road trip to Indy (every other year). Dealing with a long bus ride in the tournament isn't rocket science. I think we'd rather have a good match-up with a local rival like GS or HH every year, and save the charter bus rental. Its not about exposure or media coverage.

I would say in the SIAC it would have to be Jasper. It has no enrollment competition from other schools (public or parochial), has top-notch facilities, great community support (financially and otherwise), and a great tradition in several sports. Plus, as the only high school in that school corporation, I imagine they can pretty much do whatever they want when it comes to compensation to retain and attract coaches. Also add that their former AD now is an assistant IHSAA commissioner.

$0.00. Only recruiting by Hurley comes on the field.

Even bigger for him...

Is that what Hurt did when the two Castle kids transferred to GS? Pretty sure he has no problem accepting kids who transfer in from other schools.

Well, as Groucho Marx once said, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member." Absolutely priceless...

What do you consider a country club sport? I'm curious..

If the SIAC added GS, the two divisions could be EVSC schools (Reitz, Harrison, Bosse, North & Central) and non-EVSC (GS, Castle, Jasper, Mater Dei and Memorial). I would be all for that. GS could obviously compete for conference titles in some sports (football and softball), but do you think GS would want to take on the higher level of competition across the board? I'm guessing GS is in the hunt for a PAC title in just about every sport, but that wouldn't be the case in the SIAC.

C'mon, keep digging. You're the SIAC scoop man...
