My mistake.  I guess they are going to go down the path of reclassifying every year now.

I think it's a unique situation that was created with Elkhart consolidation, which created such a large new school that they couldn't leave in 4a or 5a.   I do not see this as a norm going forward as it was just an odd year.  On top of that how would SF work in just 1 year cycles?  Just my two cents

Early May the IHSAA press release said.

I was shocked to see North Newton only 14 kids away from 1a

Andrean also 20 away from 1a

Luers found themselves back in 2a 

River Forest:  HUGE JUMP, to 3a 

looks like by MAP, Bombers go back to Central time zone Home up in NWI.

anyone:

I believe NN students have utilized it.  

I believe still under $400 for program as well

How places still offer on site classrooms?   

I know at Rensselaer, Coach Meeks has continued the traditional Drivers Ed course as it was made for in the 80s.   Full on classroom, videos, discussions, but what I think really is good is he brings in County/City/State police who come with the pictures of what fatalities look like, not from a movie, or cheesy video, actual photos from crash scenes and stories of HOW and WHY it happened.  It is powerful stuff.   He runs a session in Winter and Summer.   

How many families choose to have their son/daughters take it online?  

I would suspect the same thing, when I saw the minutes of the executive session last week and not any mention, figured it would be next month.  

IFCA Board of Directors Spring Meeting next Friday, probably have some insight there 

yea but kraft had Slick Rick by like 25 years 

impressed 

14 minutes!!!!   

I like my man in WL philosophy:  MUST GET at least 1 shooter each class.

IU does not have a soul who can hit tough jumpers

Sad Tragic news this morning:   So tough to swallow:   thoughts with Trojan Nation!!

An East Central High School student who was a co-captain of the school football team has been identified as the victim of Thursday morning's fatal crash on State Road 1.

The Dearborn County Sheriff's Department identified 18-year-old Brett Fox, of Hidden Valley, as the driver killed in the wreck on S.R. 1 in the area of Whitaker Lane. Deputies believe Fox's 2004 Dodge pickup truck struck a patch of ice before overturning off the roadway and striking a tree and utility pole.

"He was an Academic All-State player and a team captain who just signed to play college football at Thomas More. More than that though, Brett was our emotional leader and always looked to help out the younger players. I will always remember the smile that Brett had on his face no matter the circumstances and how he guided his younger brother though life. Brett represented everything that we preach in our program. Our team and school are grieving right now. We are asking that people pray for his parents, his brother, and his family."

I laugh at the folks who paid 3 grand a ticket..........

I was a Puma under Coach Bill Jennings. He was late 40s, early 50s I believe.   

Great guy, and one scary Driver's Ed instructor!!!   

also PU officially named replacement from departed Coach Jackson who took the NIU DC job 

Purdue just offered Dwenger OL

https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/luke-wiginton-233856

from an article earlier in the spring, there are dudes coming back with experience, including 2 starting Tackles 

How does the line look?

The staff feels solid about its tackles, with junior Grant Hermanns on the left side and senior Matt McCann on the right returning to reprise starting roles. Each suffered a knee injury in 2018, with McCann getting hurt in the bowl game. Both are available his spring. Developing backups will be vital. The real area of concern: The interior. Line coach Dale Williams must replace guards Dennis Edwards and Shane Evans along with center Kirk Barron. This is a huge spring for sophomore center Viktor Beach as well as redshirt freshmen Will Bramel (tackle), Eric Miller (guard) and Jimmy McKenna (tackle). Sophomore DJ Washington (guard) is also being watched.

I think they like the guys they had last year class, just needed a Red Shirt year

Love Dale Williams the OL coach

Be fun to see who is taking 1st team reps this spring

dodged a bullet with McCann injury in bowl game 

done:  

Glad to see a guy get an opportunity who has been working within the program all those years!!

Congrats to Coach Reutebuch 

If I am not mistaken, Luellen is working in Nashville with a former Bomber in a facility that specializes in football development, speed/strength, they help train guys getting ready for NFL and local college/HS kids as well. 

When St Joe was open in Rensselaer, I was always hoping they would hire Football coaches in their 40-60's age range, so they could bring hopefully their wonderful football playing son(s), instead they hired young guys in the mid 20s, granted they were also very good coaches, but clearly didn't have those teenage boys to give to the Bomber program!!! 

indeed:  shouldn't have to take Purdue coming into Assembly Hall and getting embarrassed the previous game to empty the tank .......

But why bust it when top player is bouncing in 45 days 

Spot on DT  

I read Kravitz ATHLETIC site article saying the same thing, the new standard for IU was they decided to play hard for the entire game.....

Rock fight goes Boilers way!!   

Still shaking my head how my beloved won that game!!

Definitely take it 

Coming from a contrarian find that rich!!  

I agree  Baptizing the masses!!!
