BD is not responding to adversity very well. Had the chance to be in the lead at halftime, but the pick six on the first possession of the second half seemed to devastate the team. Friday night will be a major challenge...hoping we have something for WC.
I'd say Center Grove is the most deceptive 0-3 team I've seen in a while. They're playing good defense, and I think we all know why the offense is struggling a bit.
I voted them #1 simply because I think they've been the most consistent team thus far. I still think Warren may be the #1 squad, but that will shake itself out later.
"New security rules for people attending football games at Ben Davis High School are now being enforced after a recent fight between students from different schools during last week’s home football game."
"The MSD Wayne Township Schools superintendent said the fight was between Ben Davis students and students from outside the district, prompting the new security measures to be considered."
The first two paragraphs.
Dr. Butts has commented publicly, so I feel as if I can comment. These updated security measures were related to an altercation in the home stands during the Avon/BD game. I witnessed much of it.
Last night, the game, to my knowledge and from what I saw, went off without incident.
This is the reality at most Marion County schools. BD is not the only school with metal detectors. I have been wanded also at most MIC schools. We have the wand detectors at BD.
BD's away side is the former home side. It seats probably 4K conservatively. There's always plenty of room.
I'm not sure how the practice went down at the gate.
Coach Willen passes during Homecoming week. It's only appropriate, I guess.
I did not ever meet the man in person, but I had many many conversations about Warren Central with WC grad, Mike Kirschner. He mentioned Coach Willen often. I know he was the kind of teacher we all hope to be. My condolences to everyone on the Eastside and to all the players and staff. Coach Willen has the best seat in the house now. Sending you all love from the Westside.
