Coach Nowlin

Have Southwood's HC contact his local IFCA Coaches and or state level IFCA board members Or he can email me directly and I know where to take it from there

Its also why you see record numbers in transfer portals.

Food For Thought:

Did Russ Yeast stay at Louisville? I thought I read he was going to be leaving, then came back, after a few weeks last year??

MY MAN!! 600 Program wins (602 to be exact) good for 12th All Time in the State! Coming after Hammond next !! NFL Player: Danny Brandenburg, Former Indiana St stud, drafted by the Bills, then played for the Eagles after a few years State Title 4 Regional Titles 2 Teams back in the day that were not in any post season play: 1954 and 1977 teams both went undefeated Long list of Bomber Coaches: apologies for poor spelling George Gilbert, RCHS Grad, Dale Hummer, DeKalb HC great Bill Siderwitz, Martinsville HC Great Joe Burvan, Wrestling HOF, gym named after him This one guy, you all may have heard of him: Chris Geesman, former Bomber HC in the 60s Steve Brandenburg, recent inductee into Indiana HS Hall Of Fame Geesman, Siderwitz, Hummer, were all on the same staff in the 60s. This Chris Meeks fella, not too shabby, clearly I am biased, but he is off to a pretty decent start, still a youngster !!! Plenty of sound left coming from his Whistle!! Coach: Chris Meeks, 168-85 in 22nd year at school I am sure I am missing many others Chicago Bears training camp held at SJC, so that has added to some history as well. Because we finally got that State Title in 2014, I believe you can officially have the Bombers in the top 20 discussion !!

Get your memberships paid 🤣

😎 I have put in the request for 2020 scrimmage, I asked for 78 and slight breeze. See if its honored

I know, I was the ole Frat bro of Brian way back in the day, when I think of the Braves, hard not to think of the Long hair older brother and wanted to throw a random reference out there. Mike was a good player for the Boilers!! Good times.

Beautful man, great story!! Loved how you ended the post with the last sentence, so many great stories across our state just like the one above. Thanks for sharing!!!

Bring back Brian Otto

For some reason, in name of sportsmanship and player safety gets thrown out after Sectionals....... makes no sense to me either.

Love this: Coach Meeks does the same thing for every banquet packet to give to the players dating it back to 1898!! RCHS also had our best Decade in total wins as well along with our 1st State Championship and Program's 600th win this year as well. Good Stuff for program historian buffs

Based on the article I just read on Colby (Austin) returning to Kokomo, looks like Western and Kokomo will be playing week 1, that is a tremendous week 1 game for both neighboring schools!!

He has as been a great ambassador for IFCA and State of Indiana, look forward to seeing what is next for Coach Wimmer. Could he transition into College ranks? Franklin? He does a great job spearheading the IFCA Spring Clinic each year.

on Purdue Message boards there is chatter, I don't see how that is good move. https://purduesports.com/sports/football/roster/george-karlaftis/8323 Purdue site listed him 6'4 265 and he still has TON of room to grow it seems, so I do not see how that translate as a MIKE LB: They have some JUCO offers out at LB position as well and incoming Frosh, Ben Krual and another BLUE SHIRT LB that will be available next year.

No doubt about it, go for 2 was the call, no hindsight about it. I know I have stated a few times on here that they DID indeed offer guys who ended up not choosing to come to Purdue to help on OL I had seats directly behind PU bench this past weekend, right behind OL area, on the 4th down play that OL missed their assignment, OL Coach Williams came unglued and benched the OL who messed up and inserted True Freshman, Craig, who went on and had a tremendous rest the game at LG. I believe a lot of those young OL were used sparingly to keep their 4 game minimum in place so they can tag them with a Red Shirt. Craig being one of them. It is easier to sell skill kids to come to Purdue then OL, but they are working very hard at it, they also have 4 or 5 more offers out currently right now to JUCO and Grad Portals, Powell from Stanford in Grad Portal and this kid from INDY JUCO: who PU is in his final 3. I will say, I thought the offensive line played much better when they inserted another walk on, GARVER in at Center. Front 7 is Light, no doubt. even Karlaftis is undersized, right now, for his position, but he is working his tail off to still be impactful and he was. Losing Neal for the year really really hurt them inside, and of course Bailey, because the DEPTH is not there....YET, but they have some pieces to put in there to build around, they are just young. In 2020: Purdue's Defense just has to be Above average and they will win alot of games, Purdue is going to score points next year, just need to get enough stops throughout the game, I will be disappointed if they do not eclipse the 8+ win mark in 2020. SCHEME WISE: it was disappointing to see so many 3rd and longs ALL YEAR long get converted, bugaboo again this year for Holt's defense. I could see Brohm giving him 1 more year to fix it, if its much more the same in 2020, i cannot fathom he gets retained. Too many miscommunications on the back end throughout the year, I am sure youth related, but your job as a coach is to make sure at the minimum they are in the right spot, whether they can make the play is the other issue. I know Brohm has made a few comments throughout the year on how he wants to see the defense aggressive at all times, it just seemed to me, there was too many times 3rd and 8 + that Holt went to zone with 4 man rush, Karlaftis would turn the corner, QB Step up, no other pressures from the other 3 and all LB in zone, QB would run for 1st or WR sit in soft spot for easy compeltion. Case in point, 3rd and 13 in 1st OT vs Hoosiers: CB looked to be in a cover 3 and he bailed all the way 7 YARDS INTO THE ENDZONE, IU WR literally just ran to the front pylon, turned around, waited for the ball. 4 man rush, no pressure, CB is covering back 3rd of the EZ on 3rd and 13!!!! UGH

Thanks to the 2 Guests who gave donations over the weekend!! Also, @whiteshoes for the WIN!! Thanks Pal
