I thought this field was on the other side of the old baseball field. 

Looking again at it.. I think this is exactly where the old baseball field was... softball and baseball are now where the old football stadium was. 

Yes, they essentially flipped them. I think it was for spacing for the expansion of the school building. That's why they had to do the athletic fields first before they could expand the school.

I can’t wrap my head around how these facilities are oriented from these pics, but in the past weren’t the bathrooms in the MS in the east EZ?

Yes.

Are they adding lockerrooms? 

I believe that is part of the plan, but I'm not sure of the timeline.

Silver Creeks football stadium looks great. 

My son played on it this past weekend for youth football. The pictures don't do it justice. It is a beautiful field. However, the facilities are not complete. There was one port-a-potty for the entire stadium and the parking was an absolute nightmare. And that was for a youth game. It will be some of the best facilities in southern Indiana when it's done.

There are a few that are bigger, but not many.  South Knox does not have a team, and they would be right on the bubble of 1A or 2A in football.  Biggest 1A school is Park Tudor at 378, South Knox has 379.  Henryville has 299 and they are one of the biggest schools in 1A for baseball.  

I think I may have been thinking about old enrollments... either that or their combined enrollment because they are a 6-12 school. I didn't realize they were as low as 299, or even that Austin (394) was that much higher than them. That surprises me because of their proximity to the populated Jeff/Sellersburg area and the number of developments that are going in. That would make the largest school without football Iliana Christian (which I had never heard of) at 477. There is also Hauser (329), Hebron (355) and South Ripley (362). 

While I am all for anyone who wnats football, @Impartial_Observer is right that it is all about administrative support and basketball will often overshadow anything else at small schools like these.

Curious if anyone knows but someone told me they thought Henryville was getting football? Anyone know for sure and if so when they expect to hit varsity.

In 2015, they actually folded their youth football program. A lot of people were upset, especially those in the community that were pushing hard to add high school football. Since the district has now become independent from Silver Creek, the movement has been renewed. They are reinstating youth football again this fall. I do not know if it will yield a varsity program or not, but there is still support for it. Ten years ago they even had land donated for a field but the district wouldn't take it. Seems crazy. Since Hanover Central added a program, Henryville is the largest school in the state without a program. Hopefully they can get it done.

Congrats to Coach Glesing and Salem. Coach Glesing is an outstanding coach and program builder. His early roots offensively were in power run/power toss out of various pro formations. He incorporated a little more spread/wing-t kind of concepts later in his tenure at Floyd, but still had the basics of power toss as the root, though he was dressing it up with more formations. Defensively he was always a 4-3/cover 2 base with adjustments. I think Salem has always been a hard nosed, physical team and I would fully expect that to continue.

What do you mean position is irrelevant? Could 4 kids make it at QB? 

Yes. Each team or head coach makes the choices. Like coach said, if the 1st place team gets 8 selections, they pick their most deserving 8. One of them might be QB. Each subsequent team could also choose their QB. 

If you were interested in the Kentucky version of this thread, here it is. They start their playoffs this week. 

They basically have an all-in that is seeded. A handful of teams don't make it but they are 0-10 type teams for the most part and it's just in districts that are designed around enrollment and location.  

Also, Marshall County to Simon Kenton High School is 300 miles and likely 5 hours by bus for a first round playoff game. 

I am with the OP here on seeding, but this thread shows you what happens when everyone makes it with an all-in format with seeding. 

Well it looks like it could be the last week for the HHC and our competition as a result. I am behind by two, so if I don't pick any upsets, I'm done for anyway. Here's to hoping the HHC lives to play another weekend!

They have to like that draw. Seymour @BHSN East vs BHHS. 

For sure. SC is down a bit from the last few years. Should be a goood game.

I don’t know man. But the program is struggling. They have more talent then Seymour, BNL, and JC but that’s my opinion. A lot of guys have been hurt though. But we seem to have this issue every season. 

I'll take the blame for this one since I put it out there as my possible upset pick. 😆

But really though, they are high school kids. Sometimes, you just never know what you're going to get. That's why they play the games, because anything can happen.

Lol. Looks like the picks are unanimous this week. Everybody has picked the same teams.

Crazy.. I didn't look at others' picks but that must mean it is certain that is what will happen. 😆

Floyd Central at Jennings County 
Jeffersonville at Columbus East 
Seymour at New Albany 

I need to disagree with Frozen somewhere to catch up. I tried that at the end of last season and it didn't work out. If I was going to pick an upset this week, it would be JC over FC but I don't necessarily think it will happen. I also wouldn't be surprised by NA over Seymour.

Perhaps something is lost in translation. Apparently there is a cheap Mexican Restaurant in the Floyd’s Knobs area called the Cactus, tell us more?

In the greater metro area of Seymour we do not have such a restaurant, however we often refer to the local El Nopal as “The Cactus” because well, you know. IO actually has his own bar stool at multiple locations now. Cheapest place around to drink, I highly recommend the fishbowl margaritas, I typically go for the pitcher myself it’s a little better value. 32oz domestic drafts 5.50, imports 6.50. One of the few bars you’ll find Modello Negra on tap. 
 

 

Yes, FK said it well. My only experience at the Cactus led to food poisoning. That makes the decision pretty easy. 

Also - this week's picks...
