Muncie.  That's where the best Greek's is.  Period.

Fact. Muncie is the first place I had it a while back. I’ve visited three other locations and Muncie ranks first.

There is one in West Lafayette at sagamore pkwy(US 52) and salisbury st just behind the CVS

That’s the one. There and Lebanon are the closest two for me.

Since I’ve been running around the WRC all fall watching volleyball I feel properly prepared to release my WRC Pizza King ranking.

1. Attica 2. West Lebanon 3. Rockville 4. Veedersburg

There really is no bad Pizza King

For my pizza fans, next time you’re in the Indianapolis/Lafayette/Muncie area find a Greek’s Pizza establishment and order a Greek’s Special. My favorite pizza out their right now.

Their thin crust has a subtle hint of smokiness that comes through just right.

Who makes the calls on your JV games? And to be honest I’m just assuming it has to do with the ridiculous amount of injuries  , maybe there was a band meeting   

Not butthurt, just didn’t like to see the head coach of a great program like NV take a jab at my sons HS and coach before congratulating his own team. Especially on Facebook where it was shared into my newsfeed.  

No harm, no foul I suppose. Just didn’t see the point in it. Maybe call Moore and see why he didn’t play as maybe my injury report isn’t accurate

Moving on....... is brown, Ellmore, Ellis, or the freak 56 from Attica going to play at the next level?

The first thing my post said was “I’m proud of our JV football team and coaches”. Literally the first words of the post. There was no jab at your coach or high school after that. I posted that you all had cancelled in a way that was obviously surprised or confused. Add the over sensitive butt hurt and here we are. Then you brought it to the gridiron digest. Gotta love our disfunctional WRC family!

One post you talk how you respect Moore so much, the next you question why he didn’t play a jv game. Sounds like you got a better game with Jeff anyway!

I do respect Coach Moore. Don’t know who made the call on the JV game or why, when you all had a bunch of kids dressed out and standing on the sidelines Friday night. You all come off as pretty butt hurt over simple questions about why you chose not to play a JV game.

Wolves roster is dwindling down. Here’s a Facebook post north vermillion can share on their Facebook instead of questioning why we wouldn’t play them. Didn’t you beat us by 2 in the jv game? We were scared to play after the beating Friday and the JV game earlier in year probably! 

-2 JV players with broken legs vs Covington JV, both required surgery via Facebook parents page last week.

-2 more players vs Sheridan JV, one concussion and 1 ankle sprain, neither have returned.

-1 player down still with broken ribs.

thats 5 JV players out.

varsity injuries 

-Christian young-calf strain out for this week.

-Max sliz-taken off in a stretcher with. broken back hasn’t played in 6 weeks.

-Jentre Jeffers-broken ankle- hasn’t played all season.

-Caleb price-broken arm, surgery last week, done for year. 

-Anthony wood-collarbone, done for year, surgery yesterday. 

-will sauter-concussion, hasn’t played in weeks. 

-Quentin Hanks-High ankle sprain, won’t play this week. 

-Wittenmyer-down with concussion #2 on year. 

-Mike Tidwell-played first game Friday vs Falcons all season after shoulder injury.

thats 5 JV kids down and 7(potentially 8 ) varsity starters down this week vs the panthers. 

To start the season, we were mostly 1 way players except a few exceptions. 

We played Sheridan last week with 15 kids. 2, possibly 3 of them will be starting Friday vs the panthers. 

Looked like you had a bunch dressed out Friday night. Lots of kids standing on the sidelines. I’ve sent 12 kids to play a JV game before and finished the game with 10 so that they could get some PT.

I saw that North Vermillion's endzone camera videographer is a woman. I believe that she is the first female endzone camera videographer in the history of the Wabash River Conference. 

You are correct. Her name is Annie Wickens and she does a great job getting our end zone film.

North Vermillion’s kicker is McKenzie Crowder. She does a great job.

4th & 6 from NV's 45?  I could understand if it was 4th & 1 or 2.   4th & 6 is not nearly as good of a percentage.  If they were on the 25 or 30, I could understand, because you're essentially in no man's land.  Also, given how the second half had played out, it seems that you would punt the ball.

I would be shocked if the coach on the other sideline across from him would have made the same call, given the circumstances of the game at that time. 

I don’t know man. I have a ton of respect for Coach Moore, and I’ve reached out to him on advice several times. He’s been a great mentor to me since I’ve joined the WRC. Some of my best games have been battling him, because he’s so good at what he does. He’s a damn good football coach, and trying to beat him has been very good for me professionally.

Iron sharpens iron.

Thank you for bringing this up. To not punt in that situation is unacceptable. No plausible explanation. In the second half, PH had slowed down NV’s run game some. You punt and make them drive the field.  He’s a good coach, but that was a terrible decision.  Not one of his better coaching moves.  And don’t tell me if he would have got it, it would have been a good move.  If is was a NV coach, I’m praying that he goes for it in that situation.  NV had not established a pass game at all on Friday. Make them drive the length of the field. 

Nope, I disagree. Parke Heritage offense was their best defense at that point. If you’re trying to win the game, you try to convert the 4th down and then bleed the fairly new 40 second play clock. Coach Moore made the right call. He believed in himself and his guys. The dudes won 80% of his games because he’s dang good.

I will tell you one thing that NV sucks at.......UPLOADING THEIR GAME FILM.   TRUST ME ON THIS.  HAS BEEN A WEAKNESS FOR YEARS.

Ouch Reb, but you’re not wrong lol. The latest issue seems to be the school’s WiFi. The film is up now.

Thanks for the correction.  Is it true that Brian Moore is from heaven?

He’s from Fountain County I believe. Regardless, he’s a tough out.

I'm confused. Brian The Great lost to a coach from Amishville?  I feel like everything I've been reading is just lies. What's next? The earth is flat?

Dude, I’m a proud son of Ohio, and my home is in Vermillion County. Those are the places I’m from. I love Amishville and the folks down there, but I’m not “from” there. Accuracy matters 😂

What. A. Game. I continue to be impressed with Parke Heritage. They played their tails off tonight. It was everything North Vermillion could do to pull out a win. Just an awesome night of football.

My only goal for this week is there’s no belittling coaches, kids, or programs. No rumors or bs. Hate or love Moore he has done a lot for my son and his friends. 

2 great teams are going to battle Friday for the conference championship. 

2 great coaches. 

2 groups of great young men. 

Going to be a heck of a night in Cayuga. 

If wolves can stop the run, wolves 35 falcons 21. 

 

Please excuse tanka, he is obviously not from PH and enjoys his trolling. 

Relax and enjoy the week. We don’t get many like this. Personally, I don’t believe in bulletin board material. If you have to motivate your team with outside material, there may be a flaw in your operation. Now, I will admit that I find myself laughing at some of the garbage on here, and it may or may not have changed how I pronounce wolves, but it’s all for fun I think.

The coaching staff at Attica does a GREAT job year after year. Their kids are tough, physical, and they play hard. That comes from their coaches.

You know what the WRC thread is missing? ROXFAN! 

I watched Parke Heritage play North Vermillion’s youth league teams Saturday. Neither game was competitive, but I think some of that had to do with NV having some strong classes coming through at the youth level. I think that after the Parke Heritage kids play together more, you’ll see an improvement. They are in the early stages of developing a feeder system, so it’s going to take some time getting up to speed. They’ll be fine though in time.

Big one in Attica this week. I love playing at Bruce field.

Correct, North Vermillion has a digital down marker.

I remember playing against teams coached by Jack Hunter at Covington, always tough kids, and my coach John Strader was a tough but fair man as well.

I taught with John Strader at Cloverdale. He is a great guy.

This could make for some good conversations. Name some of the former coaches from your school. If they are still coach we’re are they now. Also add any assistants if you want. 

Rockville

The great Jay Barrett RIP went to W vigo

Dan Vukovits went on to be an assistant I believe at TH north, North Putnam, and South Vermillion. 

Assistant Jim foster, not sure he coached at a varsity level after his stint with Vuk. Coaches a lot of other sports. Great guy.

Assistant John Barnes the coach that most players feared but he would do anything for you if you worked hard and showed respect. One of the most knowledgeable football minds around. Know he spent some time at Turkey Run, surprised some doesn’t have him on the side lines now.

Herb King of course went to Seeger.

assistant John Batty, went on to be head coach at Rockville. 

Assistant Steve Jones spent a lot of time scouting. Very football smart. 

Batty left Rockville, I believe kids go to Riverton Parke district. I believe he might of coached daughter in basketball? Surprised he isn’t helping RP

Assistants Neeley, Bettis, Clapp? Some of these have move on and stayed with Moore. 

Moore of course now. 

Im sure I am missing a lot of assistants and maybe a head coach. Was out of the area for 4 or 5 years? 

Also who remembers Saturday morning Coaches Corner? I believe they use to go to Janet’s? In Montezuma and recap all the Friday night games. Jim Jerome did an awesome job with that. Coaches would exchange game tapes there also. Most coaches would bring one or two players with them. We got our 15 mins of fame. We would all sit around the locker room eat donuts and talk about all the “great” plays we made, while  we listened to the radio show. I believe they ended this around 93/94?  Wish we still had something like that now. There is my blast from the past. 

 

 

Good stuff. Nice to see the discussion moving in this direction.

Love the new mercy rule. JV kids still get to play. Not as much stress about a kid getting hurt when the game has already been decided. Buffalo chicken wings in my mouth earlier. Big fan here.
