BD's defense is very stout though they did give a couple big plays, and that allowed Brownsburg to score. I can't imagine them giving up 41, but it's not unprecedented.

Offense is REALLY young at Ben Davis. Other than the running backs, most of the key players are going to grow into their roles this year on offense. I just don't feel like the Giants are 23 points better than a Reynolds-led Avon team. Like I said, I hope so, though.

I mean, I hope so, but I don't think there's any way that's right.

That's fair. My apologies.

And if I had hair and 100 less pounds, I could be a male model, but I'm not.

Ben Davis looked pretty good on defense, and that's encouraging. I'm sure the offense will have some more growing pains as Gotkowski presumably steps in at QB. I thought the Giants and the Orioles both showed good resilience last week by getting down and then mounting charges. I would assume that there will be a big crowd out there to watch this one. Give me BD by 7...Giants 35-28. It seems like the Trojans are probably going to get beat sometime this year, but I don't think it will be this week. I would assume, much like Temptation, that this will be a low-scoring slobberknocker of a game. Last one standing is CG by a field goal. 13-10. Kudos to Warren for scheduling this one. Always love it when Indiana High School Football can show itself to an out-of-state opponent. I know Warren was disappointed in its offensive output last week. Seems like they have that stout D under Coach Tutsie. We'll see if Jimmy Graves side of the ball can respond. Give me Warren 24-21. I wasn't necessarily shocked by the outcome of the New Pal vs. Westfield game, but I was shocked by the margin. Coach Gilbert will get his team ready. Big opportunity here for LC and Coach Patterson's crew to get a big win. I don't know if they're ready just yet to take that step. Westfield recovers 28-14. Lawrence North shot like a racehorse out of the gate and then held on to beat Avon. I have no reason to believe they won't find a way to get by Whiteland. 28-17 I saw @temptationsay the heat was on Kevin O'Shea. While I think it's much too early to put the heat on a guy who just a couple of years ago brought the Panthers their first-ever MIC Championship in football, I would agree that the program's decline has to be concerning. The Panthers were quite lackluster against Fishers, and that was a shock...again...not that Fishers is good but how bad NC must have looked. HSE by 3 TDs. 28-7 Proud of Coach Brevard to get his team into OT with Zionsville. That win would have been huge in his first game at Pike. As it stands, he gets another opportunity against a quality Fishers team that really got hot out of the gate. Fishers by 10, but don't count out the Red Devils. 24-14

When Merrillville wins 9 State Championships, come talk to Ben Davis about whiffing.

Again, IHSAATV is only the delivering platform. The individual broadcasters are responsible for the content.

Best crowd I've seen at Ben Davis in probably 20 years. Harkened back to the old Penn/Ben Davis crowds. Really impressed with the home side. School officials have done a ton of work trying to build school spirit and making it a "Thing" to be at the sporting events. Also proud of the Giants. They didn't win, but they grew up a lot tonight. I have several of the key players in my classes, so I'm really proud of those kids. Congrats to Brownsburg.

I don't think so. It's a platform for various broadcasts to be delivered in one spot, so you're at the mercy of whatever the school/broadcaster is charging.

Proud of the Giants. Played through some adversity tonight. Would have liked to have seen the "W", but I think this team grew up a lot tonight. On to Avon. Nice win to the 'Dogs.

I like your picks.

Like the Sagarin Rankings, it usually takes a bit for MaxPreps to shake out. No biggie.

Neither of which write the prep sports beat. Kyle Neddenriep, however, is one of the finest journalists left at the Star.

Depends largely on what you're doing. We've never been charged as a high school radio station. I know of schools that charge for video webcasts/TV unless there is some relationship with the school...ie...ISC and the MIC or WHMB TV 40, etc.

Like the swallows returning to Capistrano. He will be back.

Very accurate.

Ask someone. If I know, you know.

You're telling a golfer to play basketball or football or run track? Our golf team showed tremendous growth this past season. When you see the medalist of a tournament wearing his medal around school on Monday following the weekend, you tell him, "Sorry, you're going to have to play another sport."

That assessment makes some sense.

Southport HAD no interest in the Mid-State when Perry left CI. Now, it's a different Athletic Department now there.

Where did I say that the IHSAA recognizes bowling as a sport? There are no plaques on the gym wall here. The trophies are in a trophy case but not with the IHSAA sports. I don't know why you have to be such a jerk. I never said that the state titles were IHSAA recognized. You're the one who said that these were MIC sports. I didn't. Figures. Hope it didn't burn you.

Boy, a lot to process here. I do think Coach Moore's health will be the determining factor, but barring some major collapse, I don't see Simmons or Hebert as in trouble. The "new gen" admins...what a joke. John Clark had been at Ben Davis for 49 years when he retired in June and had been assistant AD or AD for appoximately 20. The BD principal has been here longer than me as a teacher and admin. What happened was that Center Grove and Carmel made it clear that they had applied for membership in the HCC in December. This was after several denials. Then, they got voted out. They were on the way out. The rest of the MIC said, here's the door. This idea that some "new gen" admins were at work here is silly. They left the MIC because they wanted to leave the MIC for other opportunities, but, as it turned out, the HCC said no.

Surprises me that Mike Kirschner would hire Steve Tutsie. It was my understanding that they did not have a particularly close relationship, but maybe I'm wrong. Interesting.
