If the school and program are doomed for the scrapheap in a few years, wouldn't contraction be a better option?

I like the idea of Hammond consolidating down to Morton on the east side and the new Hammond High on the far West side.   Clark and Gavit should contract now, saving lots of funds for future reinvestment in go forward programs for all students.   

Craig Buzea got his start in the profession as he 8th grade coach at Portage’s Fegley Middle School...

I would imagine they are looking for the best candidate to lead LaPorte HS and are not going to pigeon hole themselves in a certain direction offensively.  

Thing are not going to change at all for La Porte under Lowery from what it was under Dave Sharpe.

Since Lake Central replaced Hobart in the Dunland Conference in 2003 Lake Central has played Michigan City 17 times.  Michigan City leads the series 9-8.

Big congratulations to my niece Caitlyn Phillips and the Crown Point Lady Bulldogs, who just completed a 23-0 regular season and head into the tournament as the #4 ranked team in Class 4A.

Caitlyn is a 3 year starter for CP and the floor general from her guard position.

Caitlyn has had a spectacular high school career, playing a key role as a sophomore starter on the 2017 Crown Point girls state championship softball team.  

I am hoping the Lady Dawgs roll to semi state and meet up with #1 ranked Hamilton Southeastern, who is coached by my old next door neighbor in Highland, Chris Huppenthal.  Chris is one of the all time top high school coaches in state history.  Of course, Ill be pulling for CP  😀

Go Lady Dawgs!

Congratulations to your niece Caitlyn and the Bulldogs DT!!!

Are you Coach Phil Mason, “Tommy”?

If not, I would say let Coach Mason speak for his own program. 

I would say that Michigan City has beaten Lake Central 3 times in a row under Mason and has outscored the Blue Indians 115-20 in their last two games.

If it works, we reach out to another coach.  My next target - Phil mason at Michigan City.

 

 

What do you want to know about Michigan City?

Interviews for the La Porte job begin this week.  Bob James said he did not apply.  He said that he is going to be a career assistant at La Porte.
