Allen County, off the top of my head...

North Side transfers...noise.

Carroll QB sickness...sad situation.

Dwenger, Snider...kings.

Homestead, Carroll...next in line.

Wayne 8 defensive starters back.

Nearby...Adams Central, South Adams, Eastside, Marion Local, Coldwater ...fun to watch.

Coaches Confidential: Who is the last coach you'd want to face in a winner-take-all game?

⬤ “Hard to tell private schools with the ability to recruit and unlimited resources kind of makes it hard to judge coaching. I think (Kevin) O’Shea at North Central does a lot with the guys he has.”

Not exactly sure what you mean, Dwenger is always next man up. 

 

Who knows why, I was just answering a question. 

I thought they got a QB from Cincinnati Moeller.   Any truth that NS has trouble with the transfers from the IHSAA?  I guess I can look on the IHSAA website.

Did the football gods/karma take care of Dwenger?

Transfers. Ben Johnson seems motivated to make a contender out of North Side. He's got some studs.

It's been interesting to see the rosters at the beginning of the year, my own favorite teams included.

Just don't measure their success by how they do against Snider in Week 1

2021     Lost to Snider by 2...........finished the season 2-7

2020     Waxed Snider by 30...........finished the season 5-6

Snider, generally, improves mightily as the season moves on.  Other teams, well, don't.  🙂

North Side, two words, is sometimes fun to watch.  We'll see how this year's edition turns out to be.

Started thinking of the best overall all around football programs in the state AT THIS TIME. This can obviously be opinionated for some and doesn’t always have to reflect state championships. I tried to think of the best run programs regardless of class. I also kept private schools off of this this because I consider those programs to be run very differently (youth leagues, middle schools, etc.) Top 10 in my opinion:

Center Grove

Carmel

Westfield

New Pal

Gibson Southern

West Lafayette

HSE

Ben Davis

Valpo

Decatur Central

Honorable mentions- Brownsburg, Zionsville, Mt. Vernon, East Central, Lawrenceburg

 

 

How many public school towns/cities don't have youth football or Middle School football?

Not sure if Gorman is in good standing with the Nevada High School Commission, not sure how you could be when you have players from multiple states attending a parochial school, but the only way it could happen (as I read it) is if Gorman flew all the way to Carmel or the two schools agreed to meet on a neutral field 300 miles from the border.

Either way, not sure I see the draw for Gorman. They have much bigger fish to fry.

Yep, if they get within 300 miles of the border and are in good standing...yep.

Which is why the IHSAA needs to stop screwing around with a success factor or multipliers and implement a true system of promotion and relegation.  

Argentina's system is probably the best, but since you don't get to choose your players, it won't be like promotion and relegation in most sports.   Usually, the most money wins.

Exactly.  Lawyers for the Catholic church have enough experience with litigation that suing the IHSAA into submission should be child's play.

That's not the smartest thing I've read.  The supporters would probably volunteer their expertise.

SB St Joe and Marian don't have boundaries.  Kids can go to either school

Most of the state doesn't only allow kids to enroll based on boundaries.  The schools I've taught in have open enrollment and they are all public.  Kids come from other counties or towns/cities and we lose kids all of the time to neighboring districts.

I saw all those teams play multiple times, as I had 3 younger brothers attend Munster. One of them started on the Flynn-Such team you mentioned. I’m not unbiased, but I respectfully disagree. And, I can tell you with certainty, because I got it from the horse’s mouth, that John Friend disagrees with you as well.

He still won't agree.  🙂

The top twelve state championship leaders are as follows, no particular order.

Privates: Chatard, Cathedral, Luers, Roncalli, LCC,  & Ritter

Public: Carmel, Ben Davis, Sheridan, Warren Central, & Penn. Sheridan won most of their championships in 1a without a strong presence of a private school. The other are all in the top half of enrollment of the largest class, something even the privates can't compete with. 

Maybe it's just coincidence. Maybe private schools and large enrollment schools just work harder than their counterparts. But I doubt it. The evidence is right there in front of you. If you or anyone else on this forum can't see it, then there's nothing I can really do to help you. 

Didn't someone do some power rankings or something?  Good programs are just that.

The "private training" comes in the form of CYO football.  Many public school kids are putting on pads and helmet for the first time in high school while their PP counterparts have been playing organized football with specialized coaching with a 5 to 7 year head start.  Even if public school kids play junior high football , they are coached by very young, inexperienced guys who are trying to work their way up to the varsity staff.  

This is the "secret sauce" of PP football.  Young PP players are learning how to pull, pass protect and trap block while their public opponents are still playing video games at home after school.  

There are many public schools who have tried to duplicate/replicate the CYO model in a public environment.

Some of the best are :

Center Grove

Eastbrook

FW Snider

Hobart

South Adams

Adams Central

Michigan City

New Prairie

Brownstown Central

Heritage Hills

 

 

Utter BS.  Do you still live in Indiana?  Take a few trips around and ask.

They are probably reflecting their own personal self interests and not those of the student body.  

When was the last time you spent a year or two in a high school?  You often speak as if you are an expert.  I wonder why.  

The AD's I know would tell you to take a flying leap.

Geez, I thought this would be about North Side...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10913639/Children-infected-three-viruses-time-COVID-measures-worn-immune-systems.html

Children are being infected with up to THREE viruses at a time because COVID measures have worn down their immune systems and made them vulnerable to illnesses usually only caught in winter, experts warn

• Health experts across the United States have told The Washington Post that they are seeing children with multiple viral infections at once
• As the weather warms doctors usually see a decrease in the prevalence of influenza and other viruses associated with the common cold
• Now some children are arriving at their doctor's office with three viral infections at a time 
• Experts believe that it is a result of COVID pandemic policies, which meant children were not exposed to the normal array of viruses 

By HARRIET ALEXANDER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

PUBLISHED: 00:40 EDT, 14 June 2022 | UPDATED: 01:27 EDT, 14 June 2022

Children are turning up in doctors' clinics infected with as many as three different types of viruses, in what experts believe is the result of their immune systems being weakened from two years of COVID lockdowns and mask-wearing.

Medical staff have come to expect a surge in cases of flu and severe colds during the winter. 

But they are reporting that there is not the usual downturn as summer approaches - and they suspect it could be due to the strict pandemic practices.

Furthermore, some of common strains of the flu appear to have disappeared, flummoxing scientists.

Thomas Murray, an infection-control expert and associate professor of pediatrics at Yale, told The Washington Post on Monday that his team was seeing children with combinations of seven common viruses - adenovirus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus, influenza and parainfluenza, as well as the coronavirus. 

Some children were admitted with two viruses and a few with three, he said.

'That's not typical for any time of year and certainly not typical in May and June,' he said.

CDC data obtained by DailyMail.com showed lower overall levels of influenza infections among young children - but an abnormal surge starting several weeks ago during the beginning of the summer months, normally a dead period for respiratory infections.

Other strange patterns have emerged.

The rhinovirus, known as the common cold, is normally not severe enough to send people to hospital - but now it is.

RSV normally tapers off in the warmer weather, as does the influenza, but they have not.

And the Yamagata strain of flu has not been seen since early 2020 - which researchers say could because it is extinct, or perhaps just dormant and waiting for the right moment to return.

'It's a massive natural experiment,' said Michael Mina, an epidemiologist and chief science officer at the digital health platform eMed, told the Post. 

Mina added that the shift in what time of year Americans are seeing infections is likely due to the population's lack of exposure to once-common viruses - making us vulnerable when they return.

'When you have a lot of people who don't have immunity, the impact of the season is less. It's like free rein,' he said.

The virus can therefore 'overcome seasonal barriers.' 

Peter Hotez, a molecular virologist and dean for the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, agreed that the norms are shifting, and the seasonal patterns no longer apply. 

'You would see a child with a febrile illness, and think, 'What time of the year is it?' ' he said.

The shifts are also making hospitals rethink their approach to RSV - a common virus that hospitalizes about 60,000 children under five each year. It can create deadly lung infections in particularly vulnerable youngsters. 

Treatment is with monthly doses of a monoclonal antibody, which is normally only available from November to February.

Now concerned scientists are tracking the virus carefully, in case they suddenly need to obtain the drug.

Ellen Foxman, an immunobiologist at the Yale School of Medicine, whose research explores why viruses can make one person very sick but leave another relatively unharmed, said that babies born during the pandemic are likely to be of great interest to scientists.

'Those kids did not have infection at a crucial time of lung development,' she said.

Foxman added that much has been learned, by the population as a whole as well as scientists, about viruses and how to prevent infection over the last few years.

'We need to carry some of the lessons we learned forward,' she said. 

Anyone still thinking SARS - COv-1,2 was NOT an experiment started in 2019?
