Coach Nowlin

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

Coaches If you have records that you feel need to be updated, please send me a PM: I will be able to let you know where they are to be sent. Cheers

And Whiting, IN, home of the Mascot Hall of Fame!!!! Though, I think with BJ as the new HC, time to start the official petitions of ditching the Oilers and going to the Fighting Perogi's!!!! Fits the staff's fitness well!!! Cheers Mate

I know bopping around Twittersvere leading up to GameDay, there was a lot of week 1 Military Appreciation games. I know South Newton and North Newton did one, and I saw at least 3 others but forget the schools off top of my head. Cool story for our Band, Mr. Cornelison spent the entire 1st quarter in their cheer block for the band and hung out with them watching the game and doing there thing. 😎

What a ceremony!!!! Great Job to all who were involved. Started with our Vietnam Club led by HS kids who investigated and found 7 fallen Bombers, plaque dedication, appreciation to all branches and then Anthem Singer bringing down the house. Special Night!!
