LaSalle Lions 1976

I know that Riley students can only be admitted with their IDs. Don't know about Adams

I believe that changes will be coming to the NIC, but just not sure what changes those will be. I am suprised that Penn doesn't have a Notre Dame like agreement with the conference in football. That would give them more flexibility with their schedule. New Prairie could be a good fit for the Dunland, but don't know if there is mutual interest. The South Bend schools are traditionally more basketball oriented than the other sports. Football, they usually have one good team that rotates between schools seasons. The school times also pose a problem for South Bend. For many weekday events, students must leave school early to participate, losing on instructional time. At some point, I could see the South Bend school becoming their own conference. Not the best of sollutions, but one that may happen out of necessity

I do work in education and coached football for a couple of years. I agree all players play to win, but they also play to get away from situations, have some structure in their lives, and to be part of something. Most of the kids that I coached needed a family more than a win. I guess that is something you can't relate to. Sorry about that.

Many school districts in the state have gone to a "balanced calendar". Those schools usually begin by the first week of August. So if you move the schedule up two weeks...school will be in session for many districts. I don't see an issue moving up the schedule. Maybe you have the "bye" week the week before the tournament starts. Food for though

School Field has artifical turf. The others have grass. All the schools use School Field for some of their games. Riley does play at Jackson Field and Clay plays at Clay field but all can use School Field

School Field in South Bend is turf...the other two are grass All schools use all fields...so technically all of them have turf

Glad to see flag football now a full IHSAA sport

As a Special Ed teacher...not good. This is one thing I won't lighten up

You do know that the word "idiot" was a term used for the intellectually disabled in the 19th century

Agreed...they have decided that high schools needed a third principal than a full time AD. Does that mean Seabe Gavin's position will be elimated?

The first thing is to combine Clay and Washington and moving them to LaSalle. Minor renavations at most and it has held over 2000 students before. I know, I was there Move LaSalle kids to Washington. I am not as familar with the elementary set ups so I don't know what to do with them. So you would have 2 5a and 1 4a with the high schools.

Had a big fight at school yesterday....plenty of cops had to come to keep the peace.

Does anyone think this will lead the NFL to hire their officials on a full time basis?

As a life skills teacher, we have some too. the IAM test only takes 1% of the students. We have about 2% so half have to take ISTEP. Go figure
