Prayers for Mr. Hook.

In our community, when something like this happens, the church we belong to rallies.  I pray he has this support group.

Maybe share with your group and I'll share with mine.  If so moved...

Hpmestead dwarfs Luers.  Homestead is aggressive defensively, may penalties appear?  

Yep!

Clock management and penalty night.

Hpmestead dwarfs Luers.  Homestead is aggressive defensively, may penalties appear?  

I've already seen some new leaders around here, so guys are moving up and allowing others on their old crews. 

Somehow 
 

Luers 38. Carroll 31

does not bode well for 2a…Luers has a D.

tremendous clock management.  

someone turned the lights out.   38 seconds to go 

North Side 31 Snider 34

Agree. I knew exactly what you meant.

 

The chances of a team losing when up by 9 with 1:39 to go is less than one percent. That's how I came up with that. But I understand your point of view as well. 

That loss, for me, is entirely on coaches not utilizing the field/clock/plays. No, I don't coach football, but I've taught with state championship coaches who love to point out Luers' clock management/special teams/player usage fiascos.   My gosh, run sideways and lose some precious seconds.  I digress. There is no way Luers keeps it close against Carroll, unless the defense has improved tremendously.  

My condolences.

Shhh!  Keep it on the down-low or everyone will want them. 😀

Kuruaray One Shade , which dentist has been hacking my account?

It took all of my might not to scream something about using the clock as a local coach passed me in Kroger the other day.  Haha.  The clock can be your friend, especially when you can score and your defense can't stop anyone.

I still get ads.  🙂  

Congrats. I'm envious!   El. Ed. PE.  My dream.  I've taught every grade ESL PK- Adult, general elementary,  6-12 English, Spanish, and Social Studies.  My dream, El. Ed. PE or El. Ed. Reading.  Gotta work on that.

Jaylon Smith played on four championship teams for Bishop Luers. His senior year was the Knights last championship 9 years ago. That's quite a drought for the mighty Knights. That was also the elder Linday's last year as the head coach. Good luck to his son this year. It will be nice to see him get his first. 

I think that the younger Lindsay only coached one game that year.  Steve Keefer came in and took over as head coach that year.

Luers has to be the favorite... If they return most of what they had in the State Game in 20 they will be athletic and very, very good.

Required summer reading for both programs.

Potentially? Good enough to get to the state finals. The kids of course have to put in the work. They have some studs, but then again, they had some studs last year. I think the biggest difference is how young they were last year. 

At the end of the day I think it will be a very competitive tournament with Snider, Dwenger, Zionsville, and Valpo. No offense to any I failed to mention.

This is why the IHSAA uses the DOE numbers. They know those numbers are tied directly to funding, which schools are likely to report accurately or on the high end of any uncertainty.  If anything, schools wanted to count anyone and everyone they could this year knowing that some would transfer to a fully virtual school if their home district did not offer a virtual option.  If a student is enrolled in a school, whether they are attending in person or virtually, they count as part of that school’s enrollment.

With an Indiana student ID number tied to the student.

What schools in the state are still not meeting in person?

I'm not sure of any, are you?  Shouldn't it be based on butts in seats.  My school district has virtual students, but they can participate in extracurricular activities.

What # does the IHSAA go by?  September enrollment?  Use those and go.

I agree.

Not as easy at it seems: 

Little Johnny live in school district. Was enrolled (in person)1st semester - COVID #'s spike over winter break so little Johnny's parents are concerned, and opt for the Online option the next semester. So does he count in the enrollment totals or not?? 

Numbers will be all over the place with the Online options available to students. 

I dare say it gives schools an avenue to "fudge" numbers/play the system a little bit. Which is a scary thought. 

Are you telling me that administrators cheat?  I was told over and over on here that they don't.  I'd think that they'd fudge up for $$, not down for a trophy.

I still believe that is what should happen. Then start the next cycle after next seasons conclude. 

Why don't you want it based on actual butts in the seats?

😎 WINTER TOURNAMENT UPDATES The commissioner and each assistant commissioner reported on their respective winter sports and the plans for the state tournaments including protocols at the state finals.

Commissioner Neidig also discussed the release of school enrollments in the coming weeks for realignment purposes. He expressed concern with some significant changes with some schools’ numbers and how much the pandemic has affected those totals. No timeline has been set on when the new enrollments will be released.

He also discussed how the Tournament Success Factor will be applied given that last year’s boys basketball tournament didn’t reach a conclusion and the softball and baseball tournaments were cancelled altogether. No schools will move up in those sports given schools won’t be able to achieve the point totals necessary during the current two-year cycle but some schools already playing up a class could remain in their same classification for the next two years.
