Canadian Gooses??

I'm sure you stumbled all over yourself to post that, didn't you?

In my opinion, Dale Hummer does need to be on the Mount Rushmore of WRC coaches. Fountain Central is Fountain Central because of that man...

My picks: Clinton Prairie 26, Attica 19 Parke Heritage 34, Covington 14 North Vermillion 29, South Vermillion 13 Seeger 26, Benton Central 13 Fountain Central 35, Riverton Parke 6

I believe they call that hindsight....

recap of week 1: anybody have insight to any of these scores? What happened in Rockville? PH 52, SHS 7 What happened in Mecca? AHS 50, RP 6 What happened in Ladoga? SM 26, FC 0 What happened in Covington? SV 20, CHS 14 What happened in Spencer? NV 43, OV 8 On a side note, the mercy rule will help prevent a lot of 70-0 games this season. I read some games across the state made it into the 60 point range, but most stayed in the 40's and 50's. That will be good for football...

you are right, most will disagree with you (like all but maybe 5 people), but you are entitled to your opinion on a public forum, and I respect your opinion enough as a poster to drop the subject..... Just hope everyone stays healthy and the WRC has a competitive and exciting season with few blowouts...

what does defensive integrity mean? I honestly do not know.... I find a Brian Moore coached team that fails to control the line of scrimmage (unless they are outmatched) and lacks fundamentals like a unicorn: they might exist, but good luck catching one. The man has cut his teeth in coaching on line control and fundamentals....

I honestly did a name drop when I said Gibson Southern. I do not know who was good last year in 3A outside of West Lafayette and Memorial, but I do know Gibson Southern is good, year in and year out, and are due for an appearance in the Oil Can...

6A: North Central over Lafayette Jeff, 35-31 5A: Michigan City over New Pal, 28-24 4A: Marian over Evansville Central, 21-14 3A: Chatard over Gibson Southern, 42-19 2A: Western Boone over Luers, 27-14 1A: Adams Central over Parke Heritage, 28-20

I honestly believe this statement. Anything south of 74 makes this relevant

Carroll Frontier North Newton Taylor Caston

Before or after we watch Cops?

I fill my days with eating cheeseburgers, throwing beer bottles at stop signs and WRC football! Did we just become friends?

do you sell end zone cameras?

That's a good question that I can't answer. I honestly wasn't paying attention during the 2 games I attended last season

I think we will start to see the fruits of Herb and his staff's labors very soon. I think that staff is finally getting these kids to buy in to what they are selling. This season could be the breakout season that this program needs to get back into the upper half of the conference. That's how I feel about it, anyway...

I would argue with you about the 2000 Attica seniors being the best group of seniors the WRC has ever had. The 2004 Seeger seniors went 51-3 during their career, and most of them majorly contributed to that record as freshmen. Call me biased but that's my counter to your statement. There has always been a stigma about the WRC not having teams being able to run deep in the tournament due to lack of competition in the conference. I had family who played football at Seeger and for other WRC teams in the late 70's through late 80's who heard the same thing being said. I heard it when I went to Seeger in the late 90's-early 2000's. That statement will never change. And though other conferences in 1A have sent a team here and there in the last 19 years to the state championship, none have been as consistent as the WRC. 8 times out of 19 is not bad. The only other conference to make multiple appearances would be the Hoosier with 7 (Sheridan for 4, LCC for 3 when they were Hoosier members). You can argue the number of runner up finishes, and how badly some of those teams were overmatched, but it wasn't like they beat all WRC teams to reach the Dome/Oil Can.

I think a conference this small with the size of schools it has will eventually go into a cycle where you will not see a team make a deep run for a while. Nature of the Beast as I would call it. Since 2000, the WRC has a pretty decent record in the state tournament. 2 state championships with 6 runner up finishes is not something to not be proud of. Considering the conference is located in west central Indiana, and a majority of the school districts serve as bed communities for larger cities with industry or the school is depending on tradition, I say that's a pretty good run. But, yes, the WRC is overdue for a dry run, unfortunately...

I'll start the discussion on here. Lets see if I can shake the trees and get you WRC fans to participate Week 1: Attica @ Riverton Parke Fountain Central @ Southmont North Vermillion @ Owen Valley Seeger @ Parke Heritage South Vermillion @ Covington I have not heard a lot of chatter this off season about a single WRC team except rumors, and I don't like rumors. So I'm going off tradition with my picks, hoping a few prove me wrong. My Picks: Attica 20, Riverton Parke 19 Southmont 27, Fountain Central 21 North Vermillion 33, Owen Valley 20 Parke Heritage 34, Seeger 21 Covington 31, South Vermillion 21

If I coached a team, it would be for my squad to be the most disciplined team on the field, and for every step/assignment of a play to be executed as close to perfection as possible. Wins will come if everybody does their jobs and commits as few penalties and mistakes (turnovers/blown coverage, missed tackles, etc) as possible. I might be stating the obvious, but my team would work towards these goals every single day.

1)Who is going to be the Class of the WRC this year? 2)Who should improve the most, all the way around? (not just by wins, but numbers at all levels of their program) 3)What program could under-achieve this season? 4)Any players to look out for? Dark Horse players, All State selections? my vote: 1) Parke Heritage: not saying the WRC could send a team to state back to back years again, but it would be the start of a good trend. Having Coach Moore and any staff he assembles in your corner always helps 2) Seeger: young staff, young team, lots of hard work, bigger classes coming up. They were 2-8 last year, and though its way too early for a win-lose prediction, doubling or tripling the win total could be possible if the stars are aligning in West Lebanon. 3) Attica: I'm basing this off of incoming class numbers. Hard to win with only 17 kids on your varsity roster, and that could be a high number 4) I don't know a lot the kids any more. just being honest. I will say, from a Seeger standpoint, you could say a kid by the name of PJ Amble could make some noise. 6'4", 250 pound kids who are strong as an ox and can move usually don't drop into your lap every day in the WRC area. Stay tuned

I'm hoping any of the 3 linebackers selected could turn into a Darius Leonard situation. The kid from Stanford and the kid from Tarleton State also have the potential to really be something as well...

I thought the same thing about Campbell. My initial thought was disappointment but then as I thought about it, Campbell could be a great fit for what Reich wants to do. And people keep forgetting about Cain, as that kid could be very dangerous too coming off his knee injury. I like Ya-Sin, and I'm sure Willis will grow on me. I think the DT position is either stronger than we as fans know, or Ballard has a FA in mind that he just hasn't signed yet. And you'll see Houston in coverages. The beautiful thing about any 4 man defensive front is the amount of stunts you can do, and I don't think the Colts will hesitate to send a Mike in on a outer gap and let Houston take care of the center of the field. Then again, maybe they'll get feeling froggy and use a Zone Blitz now and then, and Houston would be the perfect guy to drop out into coverage.

Welcome to the area, coach, and I wish you good luck at Frontier. Would be awesome to see Frontier develop into a small school powerhouse at the athletic level in this area under his guidance and leadership within the next 5 years...
