Hoosiers1218

I played football in the JC program for 8 years and saw so many kids drop off from youth to high school due to many reasons, but I think the biggest reason is some kids just get absolutely burned out to the point of where football just wasn’t fun anymore. I remember my middle school years summer was full of practicing twice a day all day no time for anything in the hot summer heat. Then high school they continued to do 2 a days for 1 or 2 years I believe it was 2012 or 2013 when Coach Buening was still there, but in 2014 and 2015 JC stopped doing that. I’m not sure how other schools are and things may have changed since then, but stuff like that is how athletes get burned out and why alot walk away. Sometimes it just does get to be to much and the injuries that’s part of it, some guys just couldn’t stay healthy. Personally I broke my hand, foot, and clavicle all from football, but it’s a violent sport that is just part of it and I understand why kids walk away for that reason too. 

JC has played the first half like they thought just stepping on the field would win them the game

I don’t know, but Brian Glesings “Post Floyd Central” tenure has been a mixed bag. He had good success at Laville, Clarksville, and Floyd Central. He’s been through Jeffersonville, Paoli, and now Shelbyville. I think he’s a good coach and a good guy, but I wonder if he has any remorse? The community didn’t treat him as well as they should’ve, by complaining that he doesn’t pass enough, or he “yells too much” and bullshit like that. I know that my cousins LOVED playing for him. I thought the world of him as a coach. Upset me big time when he resigned.

I remember playing against coach Glesing teams a few times and yes there were times we could hear him yelling from the opposite side line lol, but of course coaches are gonna yell I’ve received plenty of ass chewing from coaches over the years and I turned out just fine.

Week 10 Predictions

Bedford North Lawrence (5-4) at Shelbyville (1-8): For the first time ever, the Stars meet the Golden Bears on the gridiron. From 2002-2017, Shelbyville only had a losing record five times during those 16 seasons. However, since 2018, the Golden Bears haven’t won more than one game in a season. They have one win this year (against a 2-7 New Castle team) and I don’t expect BNL to allow them a second win. This should be BNL’s easiest game of the season. The Stars win.

Silver Creek (4-5) at Jennings County (3-6): We have yet another first time match-up. Three weeks ago, I would’ve said this is an easy win for the Dragons. However, the Panthers have looked like a different team the last three weeks. Silver Creek is 0-2 against the HHC this season after taking losses against two teams Jennings County beat (Floyd Central and Jeffersonville). Unless the Panthers revert back to their old ways, I have to think they’re in store for their first sectional win since 2016. It would also be their first postseason win against a team other than Madison since beating Franklin County in the sectional semifinals back in 2000. Jennings County wins.

Shelbyville used to be an awesome program, not sure what happened it seems they kind have just fallen off, but maybe FKs favorite coach can turn things around for the golden bears. 

JC takes care of business 36-35 on to Silver Creek.

Not really. Wenkers Wright ran a 4.4 and he’s been starting games for Illinois State. They have some guys that run 4.6 and 4.7 40s. They’re not an explosive team but they have some good speed for a HS team.

I’m talking about the unbelievable explosive speed like Klingsmith, Carl, etc some of those guys who played many years ago

That’s part of it. Floyd Central kids are hard to motivate. They have every advantage in life.  It’s what drove Coach Glesing away. That and the fans didn’t treat him as well as he deserved. Jeffersonville has some discipline issues. Do I think coach Bragg and these other coaches could do some things different? Sure. But I did speak to coach Bragg and he is the Head Coach and it’s his program to run. There’s more going on behind the scenes of HS football then what I had realized before. So I’m no longer gonna trash HS football coaches because if I think I can help then I need to throw my hat in the ring.

Coach Glesing is now head coach at Shelbyville I believe and I’ve watched FC play JC a couple times when they have come to town since my playing days and I have to say I remember when FC used to produce some unbelievable speed like that Klingsmith kid it appears they have kind of dropped off in the speediness. 

Is it possible the problem with Floyd, New Albany, and Jeff is a lot of talent goes over the river? I mean New Albany had Rondale Moore at one point…

Didn’t think JC played bad at all. I just think with all the two way players they eventually just get worn down. Also I don’t think they play consistently, it’s like  they are a new team every week one week they show up and another they don’t. On to Floyd Central and FK if you plan on taking the painfully long haul to North Vernon, goodluck lol

Azul Tequila is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Seymour not El Nopal lol

Yeah he’s a great guy and I’ve been a fan of his since day one. He’s the first guy there in awhile that I feel truly wants to change the culture. I really like how he hasn’t been afraid to challenge the status quo and bring outsiders in. When you’re known for losing, it doesn’t make much sense to bring insiders in. More often than not, if Jennings County athletics is all they know then they’re just going to come in and continue the losing.

I was doing a little asking around on the new coach they brought in Coach Newton. From my understanding he was going to be the head coach a couple years again, but JC went with Coach Sharp, but once things didn’t work out there due to some unfortunate circumstances. They got an interim head coach, then hired another guy from Washington who wanted to move back to Indiana, that Coach backed out, visited JC decided that he wanted the job after all, then backed out again. Then they went to Coach Newton who still wanted the job and hired him in the first week of June. Im glad JC did find a coach and someone who actually wanted the job even after a couple of years, he’s from Cass County a similar farming county just like Jennings County  so I’m hoping he stays and is successful. It does stink though that he really didn’t have a lot of time in the off season to work with the kids, but I’m rooting for him and I know JC did everything they could to make the transition easier on him especially since this happened in June..

I’ve been saying this for 40 years, I don’t think it’s going to happen. There is not a school between Indy and Louisville that produces the athletes they do. 

I really don’t understand Jeff at all. When I played they always threw the ball up in the air, constantly fumbling the ball, and just displayed some of the worst sportsmanship I’ve ever seen. They started a bench clearing brawl with JC one year I was there.

Yeah the Jennings County offensive line got stood up or pushed back pretty much every snap. That’s been the case a lot over the years. East isn’t as big as they used to be. We got shoved around by Whiteland and Columbus North this year. I’m guessing they took out their frustrations last night. Hopefully Jennings County can get some size and strength on their lines but I think they need a head coach that is willing to be there for the long haul to ensure that happens.

I agree, if I’ve learned anything about playing against East is if your not physical with them you’re in for a long night. If you are a defense lineman and you stand straight up you’re going to end up on skates. If you’re an offense lineman and you want to play patty cake with East’s defense you’re going to get embarrassed. Same goes for defenses arm tackling and blown assignments it can’t happen.

Yeah I was there. It was pretty bad. 69 total yards to 400 by East. 5 first downs to 22 by East. 3 turnovers to 0 by East.

I was told East was in the backfield pretty much as soon as the ball was snapped.

You’ve got nothing to apologize about. I just don’t think Jeff showed up. Unless Seymour is somehow really bad, you don’t go from nearly beating them to getting completely demolished by Mount Vernon. That’s an effort issue. Maybe blowing leads late in their first two games took all the wind out of their sails. It shouldn’t but, then again, Jeffersonville hasn’t been the most disciplined team in the HHC.

You got the discipline part right, but when they can get it together they can be a dangerous team.

Wasn’t at the JC vs East game, but someone that I know was he told me they struggled to get anything going.

Talked to a guy that was there, he said JC just needs about 4-5 more guys to get people off the field. Too many guys playing both ways. JC also ran into the same situation many mediocre teams do against NA, NA just out athleted them. 
Perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel for the Panthers, I worked there twice last week and they scored 3 W’s in the games I worked. Beat Seymour in 7th and 8th on Tuesday night, and beat Batesville in a C game on Thursday. Don’t have a clue on any of the scores, hell I’m doing good to just remember who was playing by the time I get home. 
Understand I’m an official and I really could give two shits who wins or loses any game, I’m not going to lie, it put a smile on my face to see the Panthers have a little success. The kids seemed genuinely excited in the MS games. Good for them, I don’t think we can label this as JC’s turn around, but when you have a tradition and culture of losing, and you’re trying to change that you have to focus on little battles and little wins that you build into bigger battles and wins. 

I noticed that yesterday too. Their qb is also a kick returner, long snapper, and it appears he is playing db also.

JC playing a lot of younger guys. This game was in reach the certainly didn’t get dominated. The defense created turn overs and didn’t really give up the big play till the end. Just comes down to execution and cleaning some things up.
