I sure know who can piss farther

You’re not making this a measuring contest because you know you can’t stack up.

I hear ya on that. Married 3 others before I found mine and we’ve stuck with it for 32 years, guess I got a little Gaddis in me.

Still yet to hear your success fella

Not a crazy thing to say, just not in the same conversation as Gaddis and never will be.

What’s success have you had? I’m gonna guess not as much as me young man.

Coaching isn’t a fraternity, it’s an ecosystem, and coaches with a mindset like yours are at the bottom of the food chain .

I’ve kept up with the conference since the 80’s. If Sexton had the the talent that several of these teams now have back when he was coaching in the 70’s we would be looking at several more state championships for East mark my words.

I’m gonna go a limb here and say I’ve won more state championships than you and have coached longer than you’ve been alive, I know what I’m doing, I’m not just saying stuff.

I’m not saying he’s a poor coach, just I think he has underperformed with what he’s been given. I think a lot of that success can be attributed to him riding off Glesing’s tailwind, and a weakening conference. You’re acting like he should be in the same conversations as Gaddis and Stowers.

Was D-cord on two state winning teams in Arkansas in the early 2000’s, hung up the whistle not long after.

Is that who they are going with at QB? I haven’t heard much about it.

I think he’s done a poor job with the talent he has. It’s high school football I’m not saying fire a guy over it, he has had some good seasons, but they’ll have to make a big change in that program to surpass the season they just had.

They have definitely have had the most talent in the conference recently. If they can’t pull off a win over whiteland or south here in the next couple years it’d be safe to say there isn’t enough talent on the river to compete with teams up north, or there needs to be a coaching change there.

Floyd and East have been on their own level the past couple of years. Good enough to win comfortably over the other river schools like Jeff and New Albany. Not good enough to compete with the teams up North. A new coach at East and some new competition in the conference might be what it takes to give them a regional championship here before too long. I don’t see Floyd having what it takes to compete with anything up North, they get some confidence with a win over teams like Silver Creek and Jeff then get destroyed by teams like Whiteland and Bloom South. East has shown us they can do it before (with a legendary head coach) but I’m yet to see it from the Highlanders.

Floyd is obviously the best river school I just think we need a couple years before we call them better than East, however the past 4-5 years it has been an even fight.

I’m with Tundra on this one. Just because a blind squirrel has found a couple nuts over the past few years doesn’t mean they are a better team. Let’s give a new coach a chance with some strong upcoming classes before we make any wild statements. Plus I don’t think Floyd Central would be using AI to make their players look more buff in their pictures if they knew they had an upper hand.

Do you guys see any teams being able to compete with Bloomington South? To me it seems like we might be replacing the juggernaut that East used to be. Their two HHC matchups were the two best teams in the conference last year resulting in a (W 55-7) over a regional Floyd team. And (W 42-7) over the second place team in the conference Columbus East

They lost the kid to graduation I agree though this class seems like a solid unit, but from what I have heard there is a big question mark at the quarterback spot, what’s the word on that there.

It was a waste of both teams time and they’ve had that going on for decades.

He got in other spots on both sides of the ball, a good swiss army knife for them, that’s hard to replace.

I agree that junior class was solid but after that class it’s a pretty sharp drop off. That one wide out, Baird, that’s a big loss for the squad.

Darn shame, only leaves a handful of games a year for locals to watch who aren’t super dedicated to following the team.

This freshman class and the one below is something else, A semi-state appearance in the next couple years wouldn’t surprise me

I really hope the Highlanders could keep up it would make things interesting. But they just took a big loss to them last year and now they’re losing that Baird kid, it might be a couple years before they catch up to them.
