Corydon Central High School has an open paid assistant football coaching position available. Currently, there is a Special Education opening and there will likely be multiple other teaching positions open in the school corporation. We also have an open assistant girls basketball coaching position. If interested please contact me at kellerl@shcsc.k12.in.us

Any news on the Paoli front? Spring ball is in full swing, summer is right around the corner, and they have to have a schedule for their players.

I would assume they will go back and reinterview some of the candidates who applied for the position earlier. I know it's not ideal for this season, but someone will be getting a team and program with great stability.

Corydon Central is looking for assistant football coaches for the upcoming season and future. We are a 3A program in Southeast Indiana (about 20 minutes from Louisville). We play in the Mid-Southern Conference. We are looking for a Defensive Backs/Wide Receivers Coach, Linebackers/Running Backs Coach. Currently, we have a few positions available, but anticipated openings in Special Education and Upper Elementary Education. If you have interest please contact Coach Luke Keller at kellerl@shcsc.k12.in.us Thanks!

250 miles round trip from Corydon Central to Mt. Vernon! That being said, there is so much changing within 3A over this way. Charlestown and Madison bumped into 4A and Salem dropped to 2A, that really changes what the committee can do. However, potentially 250 miles round trip for a sectional game is crazy!

I believe Mitchell has their guy. Paoli is still interviewing or starting to interview.

I am thrilled for Coach Papenhaus and his family! He is a great dude. I think it will be a tough job, but Coach Pap is up to the task. You never know who or what transfers will happen in today's day and age.

We still have quite a openings in the MSC and PLAC. Paoli- I think most of us, in the area, know who they are going to hire. Madison- I heard they were just starting interviews this week. Salem- Have they started interviews yet? Mitchell- I haven't heard anything from them yet. Anyone have any other incites?

Madison is open.

I know it is early, but Corydon Central is trying to find teams interested in an 11 v 11 on Friday July 17th and/or a 7 v 7 on July 25th. If interested contact Coach Luke Keller at kellerl@shcsc.k12.in.us Thanks

It will be interesting to see how this all works itself out. 3-7 years is a long time. What will happen to the coaching staffs? Will kids transfer to West Vigo, Northview, Sullivan, Linton, NC Farmersburg (sorry I know nothing about north of Terre Haute.) With the new rule I think you could see some kids moving around, maybe even before high school. On a different note, why is the school system losing enrollment? Lack of jobs? I haven’t made my way up there for a couple of about 10-15 years so I’m not sure what it looks like anymore.

What are everyone's thoughts about this new bowl series for D-III football? As an alum of Hanover College, I think it is pretty cool D-III is expanding their postseason opportunities. Two Indiana colleges were represented with Hanover playing Wabash. This will help with NIL at the D-III level. But how does that even work? I am interested to see what developments and changes occur in the next number of years. https://www.d3football.com/notables/2024/01/oac-pac-ncac-hcac-go-bowling https://athletics.hanover.edu/news/2024/11/23/football-hanover-college-panthers-2024-opendorse-forever-lawn-bowl-champions.aspx

NH will try to keep the game close by running the ball down the hash on their sideline. This is their MO. The QB for NH is an underutilized weapon. He is a great athlete and plays both ways. I think the bigger question is how will NH play defense. Typically they play a 4-3 cover 2. But from my understanding the HH line is dominant. Can they hold up? It will be an interesting game. How do the coaches coach and what is the game plan?

My completely uneducated only hearing rumors opinion is Brownstown wins by 17ish. I heard Linton has a bunch of guys who go both ways. With the temperature where it is it shouldn’t factor in too much. Brownstown is much bigger from what I heard and they are getting healthier. They’re too big defensive tackles are handful for anyone. it is a very long trip for Brownstown, so we will see how they do coming off the bus trip. I think in order for Linton to win, they have to jump on Brownstown early and play solid defense, not giving up any big plays.

Hall of Fame Coach Mike Spencer who coached at Perry Central, Tell City and Corydon Central passed yesterday. I personally did not know Coach Spencer, but this is a blow to the coaching community in southern Indiana. While he was retired, he was still around the game and Corydon Central athletics. I know many people who had wonderful things to say about him. He will be missed by us, and I am sure by those in Perry County as well. Condolences to his family and friends. I know this was on the main page, but this affects the MSC and PLAC specifically.

They have undergone a massive reduction in student enrollment. They were a solid 4A and have dropped to 3A, and I believe they are still trending down in terms of enrollment, but they will likely never fall below 3A. They are like a lot of schools, they have talent but there are a lot of outside factors impacting their ability to put it all together on the field. Their AD was a college teammate of mine and is a good dude. They definitely are looking for a winner but there has to be a culture change.

I have voted on this proposal and believe it will pass the IFCA, however this is a longer trek than most might realize. The IFCA has to have a certain percentage of schools vote then of the schools who voted they must be 70% in the affirmative. That will probably be done. Then there are football committees who have to discuss the proposal to affirm the IFCA's stance. Then there is the IHSAA commissioner over football (Robert Faulkens) who must affirm the IFCA's and committee's stance. Last we get to the IHSAA commissioner (Paul Neidig) who must affirm all those below him. So there are many steps to this process. It might take a little longer than one might expect.

According to Wikipedia, there are 95 school districts with over 50,000 students. How accurate is this information IDK? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_school_districts_in_the_United_States_by_enrollment

In the past, the IHSAA has asked for ADs to volunteer. In the case for basketball, you were put in a completely different class and different area of the state. If you were 1A from the south like I was, they would place you in the North in 3A or 4A. This was about 8 years ago, but that is what I remember. I think one of the harder aspects is knowing which ADs will be around and volunteer to be a part of the process. I know some schools which have gone through multiple ADs in a span of only a few years.

My purpose was informing you on how far in hours and minutes these cities are from Evansville. Poseyville and Tell City will not use the interstate to get to Evansville, so it takes longer. Most students who go to these rural schools live in the main city of the school. I don't care about soccer, but when you challenge the premise of proximity from one city to another I take issue. You might notice I did not challenge your claim of 3 hour round trip to the northside of Indy because I know it to be true. The navigational route to take from one city to another impacts the travel time. That's all I have to say on this topic.

We all say football is like a family, but you only get one father. I hope everything works out for him.

Poseyville to Evansville- 34 minutes Tell City to Evansville- 1 hour 13 minutes Huntingburg to Evansville- 58 minutes Petersburg to Evansville- 47 minutes Ferdinand to Evansville- 54 minutes Brownstown to Louisville- 1 hour 2 minutes Tell City, North Posey, Forest Park and Southridge are comparable in size to you. Just saying.

I guess I am confused by this statement.. Most of the schools you are talking about are 45 min to an hour from Evansville. A quick google check says it is 62 minutes to Louisville and 75ish minutes to Indianapolis. I can get behind the statement that Brownstown doesn't want it, but the proximity argument is wrong.

I understand your position and I am not looking for a gotcha moment here, but Do you think there are any advantages to having artificial surfaces?

This is an interesting article... but does this take into account some of the newer charter and parochial schools in the state? Not to mention in some rural areas, there are parochial schools which feed into public schools. So if we examine district student enrollment, does that include the students in those parochial schools? What about when there is an agreement between private and public schools? Students might be a student at a private school but take CTE classes at a public school or through public funding. To @BDGiant93's point we are stable here in Corydon, but with the growth in the Louisville metro area, we are seeing growth push out towards us. Charlestown is up to 4A, Floyd Central and New Albany are the 12th and 13th largest in 5A, while Jeffersonville is 6A. We might see more student growth in Harrison County for the football schools, us and North Harrison.
