Totally agree with this one.

And glad to see they mentioned those Porkburgers!  

I try to make an annual visit there with the boys!

PS: I know Eastbrook is just outside of the area....but their Ribeye sammich is also to die for 

 

I'm from Fort Wayne but if they have a ribeye sammich I'm getting a season ticket.😁

7 out of the top 8 are rural schools with a combined total of one state championship. I guess team success wasn't a big factor.

How man Luers players have or are in the NFL??

Anthony Spencer played nine years for the Cowboys ending in 2015. Jaylon Smith is currently playing for the Cowboys. Austin Mack recently signed with the Giants. Kevin Kiermaier who played football at Luers is one of the best defensive players in baseball plays for Tampa Bay Rays.

Hopefully former players like Jaylon Smith and Kevin Kiermaier can chip in a tiny amount to improve things. One is on a 64 million dollar contract the other is on a 50 million dollar contract. Yes I'm like congress I like to spend other people's money.😁

Yes, I love both places.   Sounds like a few places in Washington D.C, too.   I'll just keep spewing opinions.  As we see with DT, media people, at least some, are a special breed!  🙂  

I love Wrigley but as a Yankee fan no comment on Fenway.

Still not sure how it's number 9 around here!  If Spuller and Wayne are up there...NOPE!  🙂  Or Carroll...nice field, but that stadium is a mismatch.   

Some people think Wrigley Field and Fenway Park are rat infested dumps but most people love the atmosphere and coziness.

I do not like going to games there.     Parking is terrible, seating inadequate and restrooms and concessions are very limited.     Lighting and field surface are not the best.     The only good thing about it is that there is no track around it.   If I want to catch a Luers game, I usually grab a road game.

Never had trouble parking but then again I'm smart enough to spot the track that has been there since it opened in 1980.

I enjoyed the other comment that said built by Luers people and maintained by Luers people. When the rest of the list comes out you'll see stadiums built by taxpayers or wealthy benefactors.

Austin Mack of Bishop Luers 447 total yards 6 tds at Carroll.

You only have to walk a mile to get into the stadium.  Spuller is a nice venue but I think it ranks 4th in the SAC.  Behind Dwenger, Zolner and Homestead and I’m sure soon to be Carroll. Wayne is literally a carbon copy of Spuller, North Side and South side are not so good.  And Luers is the worst. 

Luers may the worst but it wasn't built with taxpayers money or a rich sugar daddies money. It was built in 1980 and the money came from fundraisers started by people who worked their backsides off so we could have are own little stadium. Gifts are nice but sometimes you have more a little more pride in something when you build it yourselves.

How about a multiplier for public schools who openly recruit?

Surprises by this, he had some good talent in the lower grades moving up next year at Woodlan. Will it help Wayne? Who knows, Wayne had a good coach as well. 

Wayne's last coach never made it out of the sectionals. The new coach made it to the state finals twice winning once.

True story. Fort Wayne hosted the 1953 NBA All Star Game. Everyone around the league was so impressed, the Boston Celtics were a little nervous about hosting it the following year. 

The NBA was founded in Fort Wayne. The owners of two rival leagues met in a home in the Fort and merged their leagues into the NBA. So if you hate the NBA you can thank Fort Wayne.😁

Troy Aikman was all over Jalen Smith last night during the Bears - Cowboys game.  He didn't like Smith's pass coverage and mentioned that he said Smith looked slow getting to the ball.

Is Smith still having leg problems?

 

 

Guess who currently leads the NFL in tackles? duh Jaylon Smith. Some people just see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe. Statistics aren't biased.

I’m talking about the visiting team that loses to Valpo.  It is going to be a long sad 2 hour bus ride all the way back to the Summit City.  The next week at school his girlfriend is going to dump him for a Luers player.

I was a Luers player in the mid 1970's am I still eligible.😁

If you like Mexican El Azteca is a mile from Zollner.

Things could change in a heartbeat. Luers beat both Homestead and Carroll last year but this year they combined to outscore Luers by 90 pts.

Concordia will show up this ain't their first rodeo. They won state by 42 pts. a few years back. Having said that Sagarin favors Chatard by 29.

Sectional 33:

NN (7-2) has 1st round BYE

RCHS @ Wheeler :   Winner hosts NN round 2

BG and Andrean certainly will win their respective 1st round games:  Boone Grove season gets validated if they beat Andrean in Round 2.  

If RCHS takes care of business 1st 2 rounds then they will be on the road to Either Boone or Andrean 

 

I am not too familiar with this year's version of Luers, but that 2009 team was littered with D1 talents but they were Freshman thru Juniors.  There was a certain freshman on that Luers team you may have heard of.  

That year Luers lost their last regular season game 62-0.

Negative twins  at it again.

Vargas?

Actually his real name is Vasquero Diaz “Vagas” Ferguson

Does anyone remember Vegas Ferguson?

Luers is now #3 in 2a does that answer your question?
