Corona and Fall Sports
Hoosier Hawk replied to Hoosier Hawk's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
This sounds good in theory until Jimmy's mom who works from home gets coughed on by Joey's mom who works at the Methodist ICU. Today, I could see this potentially happening admitting spectators with proper PPE. Then again it would also pose a question of player safety. it would be hilarious to see players wearing a mask, underneath their facemask! Then again, more and more teams are webcasting their games... -
Now that the IHSAA has officially cancelled the spring sports seasons... What impact might this have on Fall Sports? Is there concern that fall sports will be delayed or even cancelled? Will spring sport athletes immediately begin training for fall sports and might the IHSAA implement a longer no-contact type period to prevent this from happening? Will "in-season" rules still apply? How might Fall/Spring coaches work together for the benefit of the development of the players?

Oh SIMPLE... Wheels fall off in a hurry if you don't have a the trio of guys to make the "simple" concept look "simple". Would argue that there is nothing more simple than 7 down lineman man on man blocking and a QB turning to hand it to a RB behind two FBs.

Lewis Cass Coach resigns
Hoosier Hawk replied to Punttheball's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
You mean... like Phillips? -
Hate to agree, but was going to post something similar. Today's farmers aren't your daddy's daddy's farmers. Take a look at the properties the "old farm houses", the farming equipment, the acreage... There are plenty of rich farmers. A short drive through the country or heck even a quick Zillow search will show that farmers are cashing in on their acreage in Boone county to developers. Thorntown not too far of a commute to Indy/Lafayette either for those who didn't choose the farmer life. Didn't Webo just get artificial turf?? Sounds affluent to me! 🤣

I'll say this much... You're not going to find many "blue collar" schools in 6A. Fact is many families are moving away from the blue collar towns in favor of those that offer better education/athletics. Not just to 6A schools, but rather schools that are closer to the major cities in Indiana. I don't know about you all, but I think most people in Indiana would agree that "blue collar" here is just a fancy way of saying "farmers". I know there are a few communities that factory work is still the primary source of employment, but those really seem to be cyclical (see North White). I don't speak for my entire community, but I have little desire to return to my hometown as it would significantly hinder my pay. And if i did, I would be more than willing to drive my child the hour or so to the nearest school that provided them the best opportunity to succeed. Really will boil down to, "How far are you willing to commute". I also blame travel ball and social media 😂

Center Grove @ Columbus East
Hoosier Hawk replied to Olympian06's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
FC Defense did not play as well as usual. Got good rush early but as the game went on, couldn't contain CN's QB in key downs and he made some big plays. Offense is obviously young but made plays when they needed to. A young QB made some bad decisions early but made some good throws that got them the W. Several plays where there were easy reads and wide-open guys. I had the pleasure of sitting near "That's a bad play call" guy all night. FC struggled running the ball late and when they go with a pass that QB panics and decides to run it's "That's a bad play call". The "fumble" that you are mentioning occurred after the whistle was blown and the player was ruled down. Unless the clock operator had a delayed finger, they needed to run more time off than a quick kneel. I don't get to many, but attending HS games as a fan would be a lot easier if there were less coaches in the stands... Maybe you should apply? Regardless... FC will need a flawless game this week and it might still not be enough to get CG. -
EIAC Sectional Round #2

You don't truly believe this do you? What's a Mid-Indiana Conference? -
EIAC Sectional Round #2
Hoosier Hawk replied to StinkTownClown's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I think the casketnation will have some tricks up their sleeve to control that knock off version of spread that Hondaburg is running. They must have found some old secret green notebooks laying around! -

OH NO HE DIDN'T PLAY THE SOCCER CARD!!! -
Batesville vs Greensburg in the tournament. Wouldn’t want it any other way!

Best postseason run
Hoosier Hawk replied to bigfish's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
That's right. I was at that one too. Another good one! -
Best postseason run
Hoosier Hawk replied to bigfish's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Was there for this. One of the best games I've ever seen in person! I want to say @Bobref was at this one? -
Blind Draw - An Absolute Tragedy
Hoosier Hawk replied to BTF's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Another year, another wasted opportunity to make the regular season have meaning. Of course, as I had hoped would not happen, Pioneer and Lewis Cass in the opening round. Turnout for a sectional title game would have been much higher if they had met in the Championship. Simple solution: Continue with All-in Blind draw AFTER you seed the top 2 (I'd even support Top 3) and put them in opposite sides of the bracket. Still allows for potential big title game and still allows for your potential 1-2 win teams to meet in the first round and get a feel good win. I don't understand why this has to be so difficult. -
HNAC Week #7
Hoosier Hawk replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Lot of close scores for the Pioneer/Knox game. Sagarin has Pioneer as 14pt favorites. I'm saying 3 TD margin for the Pioneer win. Hey Pioneer guys... What is Pioneer's record at home in the last decade? Or the last 2 decades for that matter? -
HNAC Week #5
Hoosier Hawk replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Fair enough. Just seems like it would have made more sense to try and find someone before dropping the team down the road of similar talent! I'd be interested in knowing how that conversation sounded with NW since they weren't able to fill it. Is this becoming a thing at the high school level? Schedules being shifted due to "down/up" freshman/sophomore classes. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/hs-blog/2019/09/26/indiana-high-school-football-new-palestine-vs-shelbyville-go-planned/2448147001/ -
HNAC Week #6
Hoosier Hawk replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
This guy is obviously new here! Would love to see Caston get one in the W column. The "love the way these boys play" and the "atta boys" are getting a little tiresome after all of last season. They were able to put up some points against WC although it seems NW might be capable as well. Another week of "tuning up" for Pioneer as they prepare for Knox. That 2A sectional is going to be fun... well at least different. Hopefully Pioneer and Cass end up in the opposite sides of the bracket! -
HNAC Week #5
Hoosier Hawk replied to from_the_sidelines007's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Late to responding to this but... Was playing Attucks really better than the alternatives? Did Pioneer just drop NW? Was this prior to the season? I mean it's great and all that the Pioneer community got to feel great about playing a "4A team from the big city" but anyone who has traveled outside of Cass County (or can use Google) knew this was going to be a game similar to playing North White. -

Why did Pioneer add Attucks? They are terrible. This will be a running clock at half.
