How does Lutheran look this year compared to last year? They were really solid last year ... lots of size, good speed, and good mix of weaponry. A lot of teams have a good passing game or a good running game or a good RPO or a good gadget game or a good *fill in the blank* game ... and if you can blunt that, then you've got a shot. With Lutheran, if you stopped them one way, they just moved on to the next weapon. And they had so many of them that it took nearly all game long to finally slow them down. Have to be able to hang close with them until you can get it figured out. If not, they just end up getting too much of a lead.

Any insights on the LCC/BC game? Is LCC still running short-handed or is BC starting to get some traction in the building of their program? Or a bit of both? I'm hoping that BC is starting to see some benefits of the work that their youth coaches have been putting in. Really good group of guys over there and I truly wish them the best and appreciate their engagement working with the BC kids.

Just not going to the right inferno ... Lord, I apologize for that.

I like the message content as well as the tone of the message. Taking responsibility, recognizing the several supports/stakeholders beyond just the team, and no wishy-washiness in the approach ... and a pledge to do better.

Are Freshman Raiders playing Goshen too in place of Kokomo? If so, home or away?

Nothing to be served by releasing individual grades to the public and a lot more harm to the individuals that can be done. And especially with regard to minors ... nothing at all to be gained that isn't heavily outweighed by the negative impact on a kid. There are aggregate and organization-based evaluations that tell the public about what the tax dollars are doing or not doing.

As Joe Friday might say, "I just want to get the facts" ... and the less salacious, the better when it comes to kids. Your best bet in most of those cases is, if it doesn't show up in the stat book, better to leave it out ... and if those are bad, redirect to other lines. Those four interceptions can tae a different approach away from the kid and focus on the positive of the defensive acumen and the kids making the picks. Those fumbles can go from focusing on the kid losing them to the opportunistic defensive line. Can it be boring? You bet. Does not focusing on the kid negatively end up being better for the kid? You bet ... or perhaps better is that it doesn't end up being or having the potential for being negative for the kid. Can probably think about writing about kids kind of in the same vein as a line by Hippocrates in Of The Epidemics, "First, do no harm."

Most students and their families OK things like being on honor roll or valedictorian or NHS, etc. via paperwork at the beginning of each semester/school year as a publicity release item. When they are signing that, however, it is for awards or positive recognition not for general release or release with negative items. Even in those situations, a kid/parent can opt-out of that.

I needed to make up some ground and took a few calculated risks that did not work out at all. There's always next season.

Since LCC isn't going to play TL, I'll take AC against TL if we are doing a replacement game.

That's not Fballfan15 getting ejected is it?!?! 😄 Just kidding!

LCC? 😀 Lord, I apologize for that.

Is that the @gonzoron version of the "blue rocks?" 😀

Make all the teams that missed games play all of the other teams that missed games. LCC's in the lead right now at 2-2 with games missed in their division. Don't know if there's anyone in the East that's also missed two games within the division.

Didn't that happen to Heights or someone else in the HCC in the last couple of seasons?

If LCC had been in quarantine for West Lafayette, they could've end up undefeated in the West ... by default. 😀

10 lead changes.

So are we doing a wash on LCC - RCHS or replacing it with RCHS vs. North Knox? If we are replacing it with tomorrow's game, then I'm taking RCHS vs. North Knox.

My brother-in-law played for Mesquite Poteet back in the day.

I figured as much, but there are some experienced kids that they'd get to play against. Kind of had the same issue on Monday when Harrison's freshman played Seeger's JV after the weekend's opponent fell through. I'm just happy to see the kids getting some reps in game play ... even though I could really use a free weekend to get some work done. 😀

That rumor was started by Microsoft ... those aren't bugs, they are features. 😉
