    Morton and HHS will both be 6A for football. The next reclassification should be an interesting. Might have Valpo and Chesterton in 5A. I was told that Morton is a magnet school for he Performing Art and HHS is the STEM school.

    I’m talking about the visiting team that loses to Valpo. It is going to be a long sad 2 hour bus ride all the way back to the Summit City. The next week at school his girlfriend is going to dump him for a Luers player.

    Valparaiso High School is a tough place to have your senior end their high school playing career. Had to experience and witness it throughout several periods of my lifetime. Worst part is when the team walks out of the game and has to march across the VHS parking lot to the bus and their cleats make that sound on the asphalt. I’ll spare all the other details.

    Merrillville, Valpo, Hobart and Andrean all in the semi-state. The region has not seen this type of success since the 70s.

    I am really looking forward to Friday nights game. A New Prairie win will indeed move coach Russ Radke to #2 in all time coaching wins ahead of Jerry Brewer as at the conclusion of the sectional championship win over Plymouth the New Prairie PA announcer stated that he was tied at #2. I'm stopping off at Lincoln's Carry Out for a couple of sandwiches before the game.

    Hobart won the sectional in 2016 as well. Looking forward to seeing the Plymouth - New Prairie. I believe Hobart also has former Valpo head coach Dave Coyle, former Valpo standout QB Jason Renn and former Hobart QB and longtime broadcaster Steve McIntyre on their staff. A regional win for New Prairie will move Russ Radtke #2 all-time in career coaching wins.

    They have a stadium. It is right across the alley from the childhood home of the Jackson 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf3oqphwxo0

    Concord alumni Josh Gorball (Grand Valley State kicker) was named the GLIAC special teams player of the week. https://gvsulakers.com/news/2019/10/21/football-place-kicker-josh-gorball-named-gliac-special-teams-player-of-the-week.aspx?fbclid=IwAR2VMaBSP2nKK8YmjXjR_qHD54wnschT8PRfohqxRu6FkvDPi01EF9ErMy8

    Castle linemen were like college men. Portage came into that game banged up after grueling regional and semi-stare wins over Lake Central and Fort Wayne Snider. Joe Christian played the last two games on one leg after being taken off the old Lake Central Burial Grounds on a stretcher and taken away by ambulance,

    H-F and Buzz was featured on ABC 7 Chicago’s 7 on your sideline tonight. https://abc7chicago.com/sports/homewood-flossmoor-football-team-playoff-bound-again/5626631/?fbclid=IwAR3dGVANe16Axsj34x1Zlz3EsECYUzQp1ul3Znz1k5cQ1RcLjXbraNx3pko

    25 years ago. Attending a Portage football game back then was electric. Never going to happen again in my lifetime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXGX7d8NDMw

    It is going to be really exciting to see what Warsaw does in the tournament this year. 6A North is wide open. Looking forward to what is probably New Prairie - Plymouth in 4A.

    1-7 Portage hosts 1-7 La Porte on Friday night.

    It the first month Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City took in $3.8 million in wagers and paid the state $91,000 in wagering tax.

    Jeff Samardzija, Jamaal Williams (Merrillville, Nebraska,Redskins), Tom Jelesky.

    Only coach in the state to lead 3 different programs to the state finals.

    It was a great game and a teriffic atmosphere. The place was packed for senior night at New Prairie High School. NP was something like 7 for 7 on fourth down conversions. Coach Radtke is just 5 wins away from becoming #2 all time in wins and he will get before the season is 74-18 (.804 winning percentage) at New Prairie and has established a culture of winning everywhere he has been.

    Student body makeup is 12.5% hispanic according to the DOE website. I see the boys and girls basketball teams are not exactly lighting the world on fire either. Seems that the community has no interest in high school athletics and their seems to be a total lack of school spirit at Shelbyville.

    I’m going to Penn @ New Prairie tonight.

    Will be the 1st time since 1985 two DAC teams played in the state finals. Valpo lost to Warren Central in 5A and Hobart lost to Brownsburg in 4A.

    I don't thing Michigan City has them yet. We have a guy here named Warren Foster that has been doing chain gang duties along with his family for 55 years. https://www.thenewsdispatch.com/sports/article_13cd681a-9876-5284-9950-62934522ded2.html

    The La Porte Community School Corporation would never be able to afford your consulting fee.

    We all went to the IU - Ball State game last week, I am the white guy in the back corner making my presence known. Last season Markice played at Notre Dame stadium, last week he played at Lucas Oil stadium. No other athlete from Michigan City, Indiana can claim that.

    They have a very large extended athletic family.

    That is how it was explained when I listened to the Region Kickoff show a few weeks ago.
