Probably right. I definitely & unfairly want to see them all trending more to that level AC & Bluffton were last year. Felt Heritage was near that level last year too.

Maybe Heritage but should be close. Heritage seems to be lacking conditioning for so many going 1 way. Also a bit of discipline at times lacking. Which Bluffton team shows up? The one that did against South Adams & Southern Wells or the one that struggled vs Jay County. I think the ACAC has more parity but I'm not sure if it's better or worse than last year just yet.

Doesn't it feel weird to have everyone hate our Flying Jets for winning so much in the ACAC? I think Heritage & Bluffton will be a good game. I know Bluffton is gunning for AC as is everyone in the ACAC and their new sectional.

Thought this was a spoof on Bud Kilmer at first but he did list WISHTV.

Not Indiana, but in Ohio due to shortage of officials. Sure it's going to be here soon as well.

Fridays are for the Flying Jets (sometimes it can also be everyone else listed on my profile), Saturdays are for the Wolverines (Michigan first & others I root for before, after, or at half), and Sundays (after service)/Mondays/Thursdays are for the 49ers. Saturday mornings are youth tackle and usually Tuesdays are for flag (this year it's all over the place).

Yep, big come back that they got that time. They were 1A football runner ups & 1A Champs in hoops while AC was 1A football champs and 1A runner ups in baseball.

Yep 2000. Had Mr Smith that went to Navy. Lost to our Jets 29-21 but put up a good 2nd half come back.

If only we could have those Marion Local, St. Henry, Coldwater, and even Ft. Recovery families head west/northwest to Jay County & Adams County. Just some of the size at WR & etc would be nice. Spread the wealth from Mercer County a bit lol.

Maybe the Pacers. Bruins no & Eels HM due to Clay City & Eminence

Just saying that would have been in my top 10 instead of et al lol.

No Starfires on the list?

I think they will be just fine. They've went around Ohio playing bigger schools to get good competition. Doing the same here. They embrace challenges & difficult places to play. Should be a great game.

Much respect to Linton as they seemed to be our Flying Jets southern twin. However, Marion Local isn't too far from us. Been a fan or should say I root for them to represent the area at state on the Ohio side. They have been tremendous over the years. Will be interesting to see what the result will be. Leaning toward the Flyers just because of their track record.

WZBD has Jeremy Hullinger as the new Heritage HC

Also Southern Wells is looking for a new coach. Their head coach last season is going to be an assistant coach at South Adams per Outside The Huddle (OTH). Heritage & Southern Wells suffered the same fate of losing their head coach to a conference foe where they'll be assistants.

Definitely. Both Kiser & Zachery prevented state finals trips for my brother and I. What those 2 did in 1A along with with these 3 Lutheran teams of late is impressive.

Things are getting interesting in 2A North & the ACAC. Coach Kolkman is leaving the head coaching position at Heritage and is going to be an assistant at Bluffton. He just got Heritage back on track and seemed to be building a nice culture & foundation for the Patriots. Very solid addition to Bluffton.

Guessing he also played backyard football in similar conditions at birthday parties. Probably a common occurrence in Adams & Wells Counties. Probably also got yelled at for playing in the worked up fields & gardens too when they were muddy. Why I'm surprised 3 of the 6 went to turf when they have an advantage with grass.

In person the last decade was Kiser as Pioneer beat my brother's team his senior season at semi state. Worst weather for football that I have endured. Before that, Nick Zachery being the same grade as myself and just torching us at semi state as a freshman.

True, but the class that is graduating carried a good load the past 3 seasons along with the upcoming Seniors & Juniors as of late. That class was dominant at every level and adding the grit/toughness of the upcoming Seniors and the talented soon to be Juniors was a great bonus. I hope the incoming freshman to 6th grade classes get better but they do not possess the same athleticism & football IQ as the grades above them. Hopefully they grow into it and the culture that is Adams Central football can continue to right the ship. That Bluffton 6th/soon to be 7th grade class reminded me a lot of the graduating class of AC at that age and similar to the South Adams 2020 state team. As I mentioned, they had some parents coaching from that 99 Norwell team that lead Roncalli 3 quarters before falling to them in the 4th at state. I do think the upcoming AC 7th grade team will be solid playing as 1 team instead of being split into 2. Hopefully one standout continues with football instead of wrestling full time. He has the moves like Logan Macklin and is a tough kid & great teammate.

I think everyone expects a drop from the past 3 years, but the Flying Jets will be solid for a year or 2 before possibly having to "reload". The upcoming season's Seniors through Sophmores have talent & a gritty fight to them. The freshman to 6th grade classes need some development as they've had weaker records in MS & youth. Bluffton will be challenging & possibly overtake the Jets in the near future, especially those Freshmen through 6th grade. They have a kid that will be MS (unless they finally verified his age) that is a monster offensively & defensively. He was on their middle of the road team. They had a strong team of 5th & 6th graders he wasn't on besides a weaker one that was still decent. They had some influence from Norwell's 99 state finals alums.

Well that's all squared away along with announcing girls wrestling and boys volleyball. Have to think boys & girls lacrosse will be next in line.

Not sure, more like Ohio. They have semis Friday & Saturday and finals for all Sunday. I'd rather see another round then have 2 semi state games. Semi State should be the final 4 not 8.

Be nice to see those when they come out. Knew classes at least. Ohio just announced divisions & regions yesterday. Once we know Indiana sectionals, we can see where our Stateline teams are all assigned.
