Can anyone tell me what week of the season in 2023 is that Penn-Mishawaka game?

Week 1 or 2?

When SB St Joe opened in 1953 their colors were cadet blue and white.  The football team until 1971 wore gold [ant, nay jersey, and got helmet

Coach Teegarden in 1971 change them to columbia blue, white, and - the 1st road game with red numbers shocked many

AT one time they had Columbia Blue pants 

When the new school building opened - black became the accent color  They have Carolina Blue helmets, back ones, and now white

They also have black pants and jerseys

I wish they would be more like North Carolina and show their true school colors

Most of the NLC schools have community support and strong fan bases which Mishawaka does too.  I think it was a smart and good move

Is this any different than South Bend, Hammond, Muncie, Anderson where enrollments went down and schools closed.

So, there was no general sale, only what a school might have returned?

Bring I was out of the state, what was the attendance at the games?  Did anyone other than fans from the participating schools get in?

The Indy kids are bigger stronger and faster

They have better and newer facilities.   More access to personal training instructors. Attend college recruiting camps at a higher rate.  All of this translates to better on field performance

 

There are some nice facilities in the other larger cities.  I tend to think it is the commitment and the right coach to make it happen.

Better coaching?  Different kind of kids?

Maybe - hard to say.  But how many times have teams from the north played a team near metro Indy and been smashed?  Marian had a hell of a team of athletes this year and played Chatard tough but in the end, they prevailed

Don’t disagree but other than enrollment, how specifically?

They seem more physical, fundamentally sounder, maybe little more discipline.  I have been to many state finals, I have seen Chartard 2x in 3 years and they play the same way

Watched their game Friday night and it was an awesome game

We think Elkhart and Merrillville were the cream of the north - look what Westfield did to Merrillville

Teams from the metro Indy area just seem to be different than the rest of the state

I heard that our community will be able to purchase tickets. The last 2 years Western Boone has sold 3,000 tickets each year just through the school, no clue about box office sales. The tickets are for 1 game only and are reserved(not sure what that means or how that will work).

my guess is theya re assigned seats for distancing and you will be seated there -  just a guess

Does anyone know the maximum # of fans who can attend a game?

In reading the IHSAA web site it sounds like tickets only available at the schools and if any are left they will be on sale Saturday.

Can anyone contemplating going shed some light?

Pickerington was on ESPN early in the season and their talent was unreal

St X must have come to play but they are no slouch

Ohio is limiting fans to 1500 total per game

I am sure where things stand and the local health dept. may dictate things

This should not be surprising.  St Joe County is out of control with new cases

I have read that Andrean’s current enrollment is in the 370s. Correct me if I am wrong but that number is approaching 1A. Andrean I believe would dominate 1A football.

Their enrollment is dwindling through the past few years.  But they are looking at a new high school building in Crown Point at I-65

They have had administration issues that seem to be clearing up bu the cost is still a factor to many

Last hurdle for Marian before Chatard rematch ( if they win)

Another titanic battle like last year?

Thoughts on this one

Mishawaka is not a NIC team anymore.

Stand corrected.  Old habits hard to break

2 NIC teams will have their season end due to playing each other

I knew it would be our last game. Absolutely terrible, a change needs to happen at Penn. 

This year at the Penn game it seemed like their sidelines were a lot less enthusiastic as they had been through the year.  AFter seeing he emotion for years it was a somewhat different feeling.

Crazy!  What I saw at Logansport last night was just a plain ol butt woopin’ .

That is not the only this one that team has endured

As for St. Joe heck that team 3 years ago was fantastic! They gave a very good Mishawka team all they could handle and then some. Man did those two teams go at in in the trenches. 

Those were 2 great games but my sense is that SJ under achieved

The way things are going by the time end of Nov gets here there may be parents only or no fans
