Snow's the least of your concerns at The Pit.

Convenient. Faith Christian?

Yet 6A is still stale?

Wouldn't it make a whole bunch more sense, especially given your arguments in the past about competitiveness, for the regular 6A folks who don't regularly compete to get a whole bunch better rather than artificially adding others into the mix?

Irregardless of that ... 😃

Is that kind of like "going to Denny's?" No one ever goes to Denny's; they just end up at Denny's.

True, but I've not typically seen the chain crew need a sheriff's escort to their cars after some games. 😃

If IHSAA treats COVID missed games as forfeits by the team that bows out, then it makes it easier as it would just be handled the way it always has been. Even if you didn't play, if you were scheduled to play at home you "won" a home game and if you were scheduled to be away you "won" as an visitor. The potential problem comes in with treating them as byes due to the way that IHSAA treats byes with the team with a bye being considered a visitor as there's a potential for two teams to end up with "byes" via COVID.

Is that likely to still hold true with the potential COVID impact? For example, Wisconsin pulling out also dings anyone else who was depending on Wisconsin as a potential win. There was, at best, an 8-game season on the books. All it takes is a couple of teams to not even end the season, but just go on 14-day quarantine, and the ripple effect could put that 6-game requirement at risk for a team through no fault of their own.

Is that a euphemism for something else? 😁 Lord, I apologize for that.

@LCCAlum ... in the driver's seat.

I think they are actually on a rolling basis based on a 24-hour window.

Yep. They changed it from four a bit ago.

Pioneer would need to pick up a sectional and then get past, likely, Andrean, to stay in 2A. Will be a heck of a game either way.

Have to win regional to get six points.

MaxPreps is showing Traders Point withdrawn for tonight's game ... which, if true, would mean the winner of LCC/Clinton Central this week advances to the regional: de facto sectional champion. https://www.maxpreps.com/tournament/J3aHmvaiEeqAzqREozo6lw/J3aKP_aiEeqAzqREozo6lw/football-fall-20/2020-21-ihsaa-football-state-tournament-presented-by-the-indianapolis-colts-class-1a-state-championship.htm

Unless they ended up with a positive test within the team which would put just about everyone on the team under two-week quarantine. They might also be stretched on numbers too. I recall last season, when they played LCC in the sectional championship, that they were thin on the sidelines ... I think they may have had 18 suited up for the game with a few on the sidelines injured in jerseys only. For a team with those numbers, they were still pretty competitive. MaxPreps shows their roster at 24 this season including 10 freshmen/sophomores, so they seem pretty young this season and may also be thin if injuries have hit them again ... they faced both Lapel and Lutheran earlier in the season. I don't know, however, what their injury/illness situation looks like.

TPC was pretty tough last season. They only lost two games last season and they were to the two teams that battled it out in LOS last season for 1A. The gave LCC all they could handle for a half and took a 10-9 into the locker room at half before succumbing 34-16 in the sectional championship. They look like they are struggling this season ... then again, LCC's not slicing through the competition this season either.

In actuality, they finished 2nd in the conference against 1A teams ... SV and Seeger are both 2A schools ... and they only dropped their one game this season by a touchdown against SV. Beating South Putnam for the sectional would be the more impressive item in this case.

If LCC wins this weekend, it'll setup a rematch of last year's sectional championship with TPC.

Russia Today? 😀

Based on @HoopsCoach's post, it would seem that at least one was positive and more were quarantined. If all but one showed up to that game, then some of that all-but-one should have been quarantining. Actually you DO QUARANTINE close-contacts, which can be healthy ... you don't have to ISOLATE them though. But many heathy people are quarantined due to close-contact until such time as they have negative tests or the quarantine period expires. People keep mistaking quarantine for isolation and they are two different things with two very different inferred issues around them. An isolated person is considered positive. A quarantined person is usually unknown, but close-contact at the time. As faculty member, when I get notice about a student quarantining, it specifically states that the quarantine does not mean that the person has been diagnosed with COVID. Also, as the parent of a player who was quarantined due to being in close contact with a positive test fellow player, I've had this direct experience. My son tested negative a week ago and just got off of school quarantine this past week. He and most of his team of 50+ kids missed the last two weeks of their season due to quarantine.

I would truly hope that this wouldn't be something that any coach or administrator would ever even contemplate doing.

Could have been a "guitar playing" attitude. 😃
