I believe that is the max amount that can be rostered for the tournament.

In Hurley's early years our school enrollment was in the 775-800 range. It has dropped significantly since then.

In recent years it seems MD has had more kids on their roster than us.

Is this a "no practice" week or something? I haven't seen anyone at school in the mornings. It's going to take one heckuva season to convince me they are better than the 2018 Tigers.

Good interview. I met Coach B at a MS jamboree we hosted not long after he started at Southridge. He's a class act.

Ev. Memorial is a 3A playing up in 4A, with less than 550 students, so being ranked at all is a surprise if you ask me.

I think Miner_Pride mentioned Southridge because that is their Wk. 1 opponent.

I can't speak to Southridge, but Mater Dei is going to be much improved over last season. Most around here expect them to challenge for the SIAC title. I anticipate they will be a tough out in 2A.

No objective person could argue not having to face Memorial or Chatard doesn't improve GS's post-season chances. That, combined with it being Brady Allen's last go around, does make it a great opportunity. I think it can be argued that Allen is best college prospect in the SW Ind. area since Deke Cooper at Ev. North. I wish we had a chance to play GS this year because its such a fun rivalry, but since we can't, I would like to see him get some IHSAA tournament title patches for that letter jacket before he heads to Purdue. I'd also like to see the kid from Lawrenceburg, so hopefully the ping pong balls will set up a regional game at Jewel.

You are 100% correct with "hoopla we used to see in the IN v. KY basketball all-star series". That event seems to have lost much luster in recent years.

Dan Egierski from 97.7 WREF is having SIAC team preview shows starting next Monday: JULY 19: 4:00PM – HARRISON - 4:30 PM – CENTRAL JULY 20: 4:00 PM – MATER DEI – 4:30 PM – JASPER JULY 21: 4:00 PM – CASTLE – 4:30 PM – NORTH JULY 22: 4:00 PM – BOSSE – 4:30 PM – MEMORIAL JULY 23: 4:00 PM – VINCENNES – 4:30 PM – REITZ

Kudos to Coach K.

Would be even better without the soccer lines...

It would be good to have that post-season rivalry again.

LOL. Goin' just fine. How are things in God's country?

Bingo

You could also say the Success Factor gives their football team a chance to win because other like-sized 3A schools have been bumped up to 4A. The Success Factor giveth and taketh away....

Always helps if your name is on the sign outside the office...

You reeeally know how to hurt a guy, don't you, Lysander...

This is your year..

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Central will not go undefeated and Castle will have more than 1 loss. The Bears lost some good players and Castle has averaged 3+ reg season losses for several years. I also don't think Jasper, MD and Memorial will combine for 9 losses. Memorial hosts the JCats Wk. 1, so we'll know something right off the bat. I made a V&T and rode over to watch the boys for a little while last night. Darn pothole cost me the toddy but I thought we looked pretty good. I mostly watched the big boys. We appear bigger across the board than usual. This might be the year we scrap the spread and "run it up 'n there" as ol' Bill Mallory used to say.

Southridge as a 3A or as a 2A? I ask only because you also said this: , which made me curious that maybe you saw Southridge and Gibson Southern as both being in the top 3 of 3A. That would leave out Heritage Hills, who it could argued has had greater overall success in 3A than Gibson Southern and Southridge (historically and in recent years). Interesting topic.

Screagle nailed it. Admin forced out a good coach who was consistent and dedicated. North did the same thing to Coach Wilson and they struggled mightily with the new guy who won 12 games in 5 seasons. At one time Bosse had a pretty strong athletic program, now the only sport that has any sustained success is boys basketball. That program appears to rule the roost.

I emailed with a local sports radio guy today. He said he hasn't heard anything out of Bosse on this...

I heard our bowling team borrowed our EZ camera to get better views of 7/10 split drills, but they cranked it up right through the roof of River City Bowling Center and now they have a skylight...
