Coach Nowlin

All I know is West Lafayette ranked 7th is not a fair representation of where their talent and skill sets lie. Should rename it Top 15 4a/3a and throw in 1 from 2a/1a as well 😎

Concur. Vikings would of been a threat in 6a North as well as 5a North

WOW: just got done watching (just watching, breakdown starts tomorrow) of the Webo Western game. Mercy. what a game. Western big 4th quarter, Soph QB made throws when it counted for panthers. Webo Offense is wicked good.

If anyone didn't take New Pal serious that was on them, not the ones who have been paying attention

Kick off tonight in Nevada: CBS SPORTS NETWORK thank god I have that channel for the bus ride home tonight

I would agree Bummer Morton had their QB get banged up week 1

3a sectional with WL Chatard Guerin and Brebeuf is a travesty, in my humble opinion

He is a HOF for reason!!! Miss our days of battles with Judson, it was great to be able to hook up with them this past summer scrimmage with them Highland and Bremen Just a fact, your week 1 is always dicey, typically speaking Even in our 2014 year, we gave up 35 points to KV, of course we scored 65, but 35 points for that state team to give up that year was odd to say the least. Settle in and got the legs under them which many teams will do this week as well.

players choose this path and they choose when to leave this game at the highest level. They are well compensated for this choice. I blame no one for leaving the game when they want to leave the game

old adage: Greatest improvement in football is from week 1 to week 2.

SENT POLLSTERS WHO NEED TO VOTE A PM GET ON IT

I think Offensively, Michigan City probably a tick behind last year because of QB loss, but they have a STUD at RB who could play some QB. Big loss for MC will be the DL and LB corps from last year. They will be a tough out no doubt. Valpo on paper probably has the edge.; Those 2 teams I bet see each other 2 times this year

GO BOMBERS!!! (sorry, had to, per my rules when I see ST. X mentioned)

I have had some folks reach out to me on exact wording: Here it is

It isn't in our world at Rensselaer. I do not judge those who make their own decisions within their own programs.

Congrats to Lewis Cass head coach Jeff Phillips and the rest of the Kings as they earned Indianapolis Colts Coach of the Week honors from the entire state!!

Cooper Jones and that Defense for the Vikings is the TRUTH!!! Coach Jeff Phillips earned the Colts Coach of the Week.

Correct as well, even Monday, AD and Coaches said they are not sweating it. However, if a serious injury would occur when I knowingly played a kid more than allotted number of quarters, I sure would be held liable. Listen we make do, we do not care about Wins or Losses at Freshman/JV level, our philosophy has always been getting gets reps and learn how to compete which we feel helps them mature through the program and hopefully help us on Friday nights. I just believe wholeheartedly that the quarter rule has hurt Freshman/JV teams. I feel sometimes when new rules are enacted, they are focused on the 4a and above and forget about the little guy. The quarter rule has zero affect on schools with rosters over 80 You are correct

Not true: Your dominating and play all you JV the entire 2nd half. They still have 4 quarters on Saturday or Monday. My issue is not Varsity to JV/Freshman It is the fact that we cannot play 5 quarters a week with our Freshman/JV teams anymore. So we played last night with 13 and will play Thursday with 14. Instead of 27 JV kids where I picked better freshman to play a quarter each.

I went up to the Official, stated that I was going to be putting #13 at Center for the last 8 mins of a JV game, He was ok with it, he then went to the opposing coach to let them know, they were ok with it. We moved forward to finish the game. If a kid played 8 quarters in a week that is a violation. I can tell you in my 16 years coaching JV games, when I see quarter rules broken, I do exactly NOTHING. I could care less. Not my monkey, not my circus. We at Rensselaer choose to NOT break the quarter rule.

I believe the either school would report the infraction to the IHSAA If it is determined that the quarter rule was broken, the team that broke the rule would forfeit the game where the quarter limits were exceeded. In your scenario would be the Freshman game. Special Team Downs do not count toward quarters. You can play every special team on Friday night and not use any quarter.

Played a JV game last night with 13 players and had another 14 standing on the sidelines for emergency only and Special teams. I had 5 lineman, Center hurt shoulder, so with 8 mins left of the game, I put a kid who snapped before at center wearing #13 so not to burn a Freshman quarter since he has 4 quarters to play on Thursday. Thanks DUMB 4 quarter SUB VARSITY rule. Appreciate ya Now if this was 2018, I would had 14 players to use at least 1 quarter and designate each one which quarter they would play and they still would of been able to play all 4 on this Thursday's Freshman game. Again, new quarter rule is far more an issue than the 35 point running clock for teams like our who still want to run 3 teams to maximize reps and progress thru the program.

BOOM!!! Love it
