I met him myself, a few years ago at a Vincennes Lincoln basketball holiday tourney. As you said, very nice young man, well mannered and jovial, nothing like the character he played on here.

I agree.

Jamie Hudson hired at Eastern Greene replacing Jon Neill. JB Neill leaving Edgewood to take the Bloomfield job.

Eastern basketball might take a step forward. This move had nothing to do with the recent school board proceedings. Should have happened a long time ago. Neill did the right thing...

WTHI TV10 reported Monday night Vincennes Lincoln hired Jordan Myers from Benton Central.

Not for a 4A school I wouldn't think. No way they could be competitive at the 4A level. Unless maybe the 4A school can bring in an ambitious new head coach who can increase the numbers and build the program. Possible argument against contraction? 😜 Now for a 1A school with <250 enrollment maybe that's all you can get.

Serious question - does Cannelton have girls volleyball? (I'm asking because I don't know.) If so, there's probably not enough athletes to go around to offer two fall sports to the girls.

I don't know firsthand of any schools that don't offer cross country. However I have seen quite a few schools that can't field complete teams because only two or three kids go out for the sport. The kids get to compete as individuals "Unattached" but the school doesn't have the necessary five runners to post a team score. Myself, I wouldn't even attempt to run cross country. Any kid who does earns my admiration.

What was that? I didn't hear about it...

Nope, I only see "Quote." I don't see "Edit" and "Options." Which is strange because I remember seeing those options before.

How do you delete a post on here? We all post things we wish we hadn't

Small school fans still turn out in big numbers. Well, relatively speaking, since they don't have real big numbers to start with... "Tiny" Silver Creek? 836 enrollment? That would have been considered a "Big School" back in my day.... But I've seen Silver Creek play and I think they would have been competitive in a "what-if" scenario...

Crowd was well above average for the 1A and 2A sessions. I have photos to prove it.

"Retirement," not resignation...semantics...

Not to beat a dead horse (but I will anyway 😜) but the principal who showed you around recently accepted the principal's job at another school in the county. Your intuition was correct.

It is and it isn't...the current EG principal applied for the principal's job at a neighboring school when that school's principal announced her retirement after 33 years, and he got the job... On second thought, probably is some connection there...

He may not be (100%).

1A at Elkhart: FW Blackhawk (26-2) vs. LCC (24-4) – Harrell has Blackhawk a 10-point favorite. Sounds about right. 1A at Washington: Barr-Reeve (25-2) vs. Bloomfield (20-7) – Harrell favors BR by 11, 54-43. I’m not so sure. I think it’ll be closer than that. I honestly think Bloomfield’s good enough to win this one. Not that they will… 2A at Lafayette: Andrean (19-8) vs. Frankton (25-3); 2A at Seymour: Linton (27-3) vs. Shenandoah (26-1) – couple potential barnburners here. Too close to call. And I ain’t callin’ it. 3A at Elkhart: Culver Academy (23-3) vs. Marion (19-7) – Harrell has Culver by nine, 63-54. I’ll go along with John on this one. 3A at Seymour: Attucks (20-8) vs. Silver Creek (23-3) – another potential barnburner. Both these teams are quality teams. Both have played and beaten quality opponents. Harrell picks the Silver Creek Dragons by three. I’m gonna go with the Attucks Tigers. I’ll get to watch this one, following Linton-Shenandoah. 4A at Lafayette: Penn (24-3) vs. Carmel (24-1) – Carmel. 4A at Washington: Ben Davis (19-7) vs. Center Grove (21-8) – Conference game for the semistate. Hm. Giants and Trojans tied for sixth in the MIC with 2-5 records in conference play. Interestingly, Brownsburg of the HCC beat all three MIC teams still playing. But the Bulldogs are sitting at home after losing to Plainfield in the sectional. Dawand Jones vs. TJD. Harrell picks BD by two. I’m gonna go with CG.

I suspect you are correct.

Honestly, I think "all" the gyms' seating capacities are inflated nowadays. People's backsides are getting much, much wider. A gym whose capacity was listed at 4,000 40 years ago probably only seats around 3,000 now...

Last year. Kapek (Bloomfield) Pretty sure it never happened before then though.

I hear ya! Seems like every school who moves up hears the same XXX did nothing in XXXA comments 😜 Not just in football either...

And about that schedule...If Linton was still playing Dugger and Wood and Springs Valley, or even Speedway instead of Southridge, Monrovia and Ritter (last two years) we probably only would've lost to a good Sullivan team. And we'd been thinkin' we were pretty good. With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight - and the schedule we played - we know different. This season coming up is going to be interesting. I actually like the schedule the way it is. But if the kids are going to be competitive this^ has to happen. A few more numbers wouldn't hurt either.

You won't get any argument from me on one point - last year's team I think would have made noise not only in 48, but in 1A period. Obviously they wouldn't have been a match for Pioneer...but still... Last year to me was kinda weird in a way...seemed to be a bigger gap between 2A and 1A (with the obvious exception of Pioneer) than in a lot of recent years. I know this - the boys have been working hard in the weight room and doing other drills/training. I've caught a few glimpses of them while I'm in the gym snooping around the basketball team. Luke and Lance are leading the way as you'd like to see. As you said, I just hope the town doesn't get down on them.
