Funny you should ask that. There is no mandatory disqualification for targeting in high school like there is in NCAA. However, a targeting foul where contact is initiated with a helmet above the shoulders of a defenseless player can be a candidate for a flagrant foul, resulting in disqualification.

I was the observer on this game, and I discussed this very question with the crew after the game. After a thorough discussion, we all agreed that the hit, although there was a lot of contact, should not have been considered “flagrant.” So, IMO the crew got it exactly right … except the Referee gave the personal foul signal (#38), but omitted the signal for targeting (#24).

 

Looks like the hit that Tyquan Hammock put on Garrett Meador.  I don't even think targeting existed back then.

It's not very expensive for a former Catholic school teacher anyhow.  🙂

I thought former students would donate the cost to that wonderful teacher.

Not sure what TV provider you have if you have cable… but they stream all state finals games on fox sports, or bally sports now

I live in South Carolina.  Can I still watch them?

Wish I could watch this game, but with the IHSAA having PPV, looks like I will have to skip it.  Not a great way to promote Indiana High School Sports.

Here’s to hoping these current Knights can get a big W tonight! Oh how I miss the bulletin board material! Hope you’re well Lurker!!

Alive, well, and retired in Summerville, SC.  I do miss watching the Knights on the field, court, stage, etc.

I have been Lurking for a long time and I thought I would post that little saying from years ago.  I the old days the wall outside my classroom would have bee filled with this thread.  Here is to a great game.  I do miss being in the stands, but I will be glued to the computer screen.

Luers Field is ready to go!

Wow!  The wall outside my classroom would be filled already. Luers Alum will know what I mean.  

Playing football in the mud when I was young was lots of fun!  Just get out the mud cleats and away we go

What ever its condition, I do miss watching the Knights at Luers Field.  Thanks to the Luers Dads for taking care of the turf.  I know it will be ready to go soon!  Thanks to the Saints for letting us use your field.  

They had an excellent engineering program when my daughter graduated in 2012.  I hope that can continue.

Now is the time for a sincere response.

There were some ideas that we got from the pandemic that should remains.  Gates should be cashless.  Pre purchase tickets online and get a QP code to be scanned at the games. Possibly the same with concessions.

I don't know if there is a set price for football tickets throughout the state.  Maybe reduce the price by a buck or two and get people in the seats.

Be nice to see how creative school with get with promotions.

 

Promote early online tickets, but do not remove the cashless gates.  Many people decide at the last minute whether to go to a game and which game to go to.  Many people still find it a hassle of online purchases and many people still worry about the security of online purchases.  I would not like lose any ticket sales right now.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Plain and simple, it's over and Luers lost.

Next season starts NOW!

congrats to the refs for giving WeBo the game. I’m honestly disgusted. 

Never let it be close enough for the refs to decide it.  Luers beat themselves with penalties at the wrong time.  Can not do that in a state championship.

Once a knight always a knight.  
 

I remember the 07 championship game at the RCA Dome well.  Hammock’s hit on Meador...man what a hit.  Wasn’t a player but was on the field for a different reason.  Once The Knight,.......well I’m a little too out of shape from those days.
 

One heck of a second half by the Knights.  Congratulations to all, proud to see a sibling and several former students move on to the next level.  Time to bring it home.

I don't think Hammock's hit would be legal today.

Luers field day before game. I think it needs watering don't you Coach Nowlin.

Once again, a great job by the Luers Dads. 

Everything I have been reading seems to indicate that Pioneer's success vs. Luers will be ball control.  

I guess I won't be watching the Luers game.  Hopefully I can listen to it on Redeemer Radio.

Do you mean Eastside?

Yes!  Senor moment.  Sorry.

I’m not too familiar with pioneer but I did watch some of their game with Andrean last night. They run a very similar offense to Fairfield. Run heavy, little to no pass game. Only loss this year is to little sister to the east (New Haven) 32-28. Tough group of kids. Probably the most physical team in the tournament the knights have seen yet.

Fairfield's offensive line had Luers D Line on its heals most of the night.  I watch helmets.  I saw Luers helmets most of the night which means they were being pushed back and controlled.  Could pose major problems if Pioneer is similar to Fairfield.

At least the Knights are at home.  Back in Black!

Cold is relative to where you’re located.... cold resistance in from Minnesoter  or North Dakoter will be way lower than Florider....

After moving down to South Carolina, I find this very true.  The high school players down here tolerate the heat better than their counterparts in Indiana.  On the reverse, they can not handle cold weather as well.

As a Luers alum, I would love for the Knights to win but the defense has been so inconsistent. Every recent state championship team Luers has had (except for 2009) a stout defense.  They can’t expect the offense to win in shootouts every week as the competition gets tougher. I hope they prove me wrong but my gut is telling me the Tipton wins this game.

Four quarters of the best Luers football they have in them. Make them beat you.  Don't beat yourselves.

Surprised this thread is so quiet. It seemed the Luers-Tipton threads 8-10 years ago had like 10 pages apiece. Any thoughts on this one?

AH, the good old days!  I do watch the games on my computer as much as I can, but while I was teaching I was closer to the hearts and minds of the players.  I miss being in the stands and collecting pre- game newspaper articles and forum quotes to post on the wall outside my classroom.  By this time of year, that wall was full from door to door. 

Will come down to which team can make the defensive stops.
