The world was a better place with Tom Largus in it. My prayers go out to him and his family. “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.”

I'm not saying the old numbers would benefit anyone. I'm saying the new ones would. And it sounds like your school would be one of those.

Previous enrollment classifications as stated above? This pandemic has the enrollment numbers all out of whack. Without trying to create too much controversy here, I believe that are a good number of schools that would "benefit" from using the current figures. It just doesn't seem right to me...

The bigger question is what figures are they going to use? Obviously this pandemic has the numbers skewed quite a bit. I certainly don't envy the IHSAA with trying to figure this one out!

The Duneland Athletic Conference uses a pool. We submit wide and ODK.

I was never offered the position. I was asked to be on the interview committee and I declined. My exact quote was "You guys did a pretty good job last time around. Find us another Dave Sharpe!"

Seeing loyalty rewarded makes this old dog very happy. Congratulations Coach Vogel! And congratulations to Columbus East for doing the right thing!!

I'd say the best thing to do would be to select "1" and then just put N/A in for the head coaches information. See if that works.

Thanks! I've got our guy looking into this one as well.

Thanks Coach!

Any suggestions on a gameday stats program? We've been using the same one (with updates of course) since the early 2000s. There's got to be a better way! 😠

I can't seem to remember the street name of my wife's oldest second cousin's third house... Can you help a brother out? 😁

One of the BEST camps in the nation! https://bishopdullaghan.com/middle-school-camps/

Now that's a FRIEND! I'd want @CoachDurham in my fox hole!!

The All Star coaching staff does have a list of "alternates" in case someone cannot play or does back out at some point. My oldest son made the team in that fashion in '07. When I coached in the game in '09, we had to pick up 3 or 4 players after the teams had been selected.

I would NEVER lead anyone astray on this forum... 😊

Have fun gentlemen! And hoist a few for me!! I'll be missing the clinic for the first time in 20+ years and it really hurts. My brothers and I are hosting an 80 birthday party for my dad. Priorities, right?

That's my #2 coach!

Ale Emporium! Corner of Allisonville Rd. and 465. The Hermanaki wings are a must!

This REALLY bothers me. The stance is an absolute fundamental. Imagine a Little League baseball coach not teaching the kids how to stand in the batters box. Just the ramblings of a 35 year offensive line veteran...

An absolute tragedy! Sending prayers from LaPorte...

Having coached at both levels myself, I can tell you that it is a HUGE jump. Even from the middle school to freshmen level! The middle schools have no governing body. You can do whatever you want! Practice as much (or little) as you want. Play as many (or few) games as you want. There are no eligibility requirements. It can be the Wild Wild West if you let it. Then you get to the high school and the IHSAA has more regulations than the Obama administration. (I know nothing about politics. I had to google that.) As with many of you, I wish these gentlemen the best of luck. But it isn't going to be easy...
