Not really sure what you are getting at. West Terre Haute is about as much a part of Indy as Carmel is, yet West Terre Haute is part of the Indy Archdiocese. Similarly, Linton's about as much a part of Evansville as Carmel is, yet Linton is in the Evansville Diocese.

Guerin is one of two Catholic high schools in the Diocese of Lafayette-In-Indiana ... LCC is the other. LCC is the "older brother" while Guerin is the "younger" and was founded in 2004. The two schools are also far enough apart that there's no real crossover parishes for students, so the schools don't really have any direct or even indirect parish boundaries, etc. that you sometimes see in some of the Indy Catholic schools. That probably works as an advantage for Guerin in terms of Catholic students. I think that the age of the program has some impact, as you allude to. Also, Guerin's only been in 3A for seven seasons. Matter of fact, Guerin started playing IHSAA football back in 2006. They spent five years in 1A and a couple in 2A before eventually settling in 3A back in the 2013 season.

It will probably be #5, but not as a structured plan. It'll potentially look like the MLB situation that we are seeing. The difference is that, unlike the MLB, high schools will have less testing, less resources, and much less of a support environment to weather the storm.

Have to go back to the 20th century to find more than a four-class gap when Chatard didn't have a blue ring. Chatard championships ... 2019, 2015, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2007, 2006, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1998, 1997, 1984 ...

WL is starting on August 20 too for face-to-face I believe. I think LCSS is starting on August 11, but don't quote me on that.

Tippecanoe School Corp. 5A Harrison and 5A McCutcheon. LSC, Lafayette School Corp also pushed back a week to 8/20 too. LSC houses 6A Lafayette Jeff.

TSC announced it was pushing its start date back to August 20.

That is correct, but I believe it is based on the school's direction. In another words, the IHSAA will allow it, but I believe that schools still have the final call on whether THEY will allow it. TSC just announced to their students that students doing online classes will be able to participate in extra-curricular activities. WLFI ran a brief story on it. https://www.wlfi.com/content/news/TSC-moving-start-date-back-to-August-20th-571886051.html FTA: TSC also stated that Students who select TSC’s Virtual Academy option are eligible to participate in extracurricular activities such as athletics at their home school. The Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) and the Indiana Department of Education recently released guidance that allows for students enrolled in their regular school’s virtual option to remain eligible for extracurricular participation.

Except that we are seeing overrunning in some states at this point in time ... and not just the "fly over states" either. Florida has over more than 50 hospitals that are past their ICU capacity. In Houston, the children's hospital is admitting adults because of capacity constraints and many cities/areas in Texas, which had been transferring patients to other areas of the state that had capacity, are now finding that those areas no longer have capacity either. Some hospitals are already turning away COVID patients. In Starr County in Texas, they have created a committee/board that will evaluate cases of patients to decide which ones will be sent home to die as opposed to having continued treatment at the hospital due to resource constraints. I agree that managing it is a necessity, given where we are; however, I don't think that we have gotten to a point where we should be putting the foot on the accelerator just yet. A modicum of caution and an understanding that we may need to have reduced access to "normal" for more than a couple of months might be a necessity/reality.

If I'm not mistaken, LCC's 7th grade dropped West Lafayette's 7th grade this past season. They beat LCC's 8th grade 18-8. I think WL had some struggle with East Tipp, which feeds into Harrison, during the regular junior high / middle school season in 2019 too. In the past, they've tended to handle the teams that feed into Harrison. It'll be interesting to see what their 7th/8th grade looks like this season.

Which announced recently that they will be going on hybrid model at best in the fall. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/barron-trumps-school-will-not-fully-reopen-in-the-fall/

Probably not going to be the Reformationists. 😀

Possibly, but I believe that these numbers are based on the ones reported by ISDH, not CDC per @Robert's followup post.

I'm still going with West Lafayette until something on the field says otherwise ... unless there's a mass alien abduction in West Lafayette in the next month.

Given that Vatican II occurred under the time of Pope John XXIII, Angelo Roncalli, I can understand the reasoning behind Rebels from that standpoint. Yes, Roncalli was canonized a saint back about five years or so ago.

In general, nothing; however, it is my understanding from a couple of posts that I've seen that while the original term "rebels" was divorced from the idea of segregationists and the Confederacy and the school went to lengths to discourage that association, it found its way into some of the support at one time. I think there are still a couple of posters on the site that may have more info on the history side.

It's already happened and apparently we are. https://medium.com/wake-up-call/the-gut-punch-of-losing-my-healthy-dad-to-covid-19-20fa36c95f1c

Other differences also include residual/long-term effects ... including among those that were not hospitalized: https://www.yahoo.com/news/as-post-covid-heart-and-brain-problems-linger-some-coronavirus-survivors-find-its-a-long-haul-to-recovery-165434453.html

Kind of like saying quarterhorses are inferior to thoroughbreds. Probably take a thoroughbred at the Kentucky Derby, but give me a quarterhorse at the Houston Rodeo all day long.

Not any different that 11-man youth ball. Every season we get some kid who plays the line that once he learns about the idea of being "uncovered" swears that if we have the end step back before the snap, he'll lumber down the field and sneak behind the corner to make the catch. 😀

With my boys its lining up on opposite sides of the field and tipping hats to each other and, in the tournaments, either wishing or being wished good luck by the opponent if they are moving into the next round. There have been a couple of games where they did the "elbow bumps."

My son's baseball team just played at a private school's ball field yesterday and the school had things in place such as: Athletes and coaches must be masked from the time that they leave their vehicles in the parking lot and remain masked until the start of game/practice. After the game, they had to be masked until getting back into their vehicles. All people, including fans, had to be masked upon entering the facility. If social distancing was possible in the stands, then masks could be removed. If going to the bathroom or leaving then masks had to be put back on. These guidelines are stricter than the local requirements, but in line with local suggestions and requests.
