North has unofficially hired a coach but they are waiting until the next board meeting to hire. They did not have a bunch of candidates which is rather surprising.

The conference has reached out about schools joining but no one that makes geographical sense have responded. I think they will just ride with 9 schools and play one out of conference game each year. VL might still play some of the SIAC schools but not everyone.

Hearing from a very reliable source we are going to see some changes in the SIAC going forward with what schools are going to be involved. Can't say rumors of who but be prepared for an announcement very soon on some changes.

Anyone heard of any schools possibly moving games from Friday night to either Thursday or Saturday? Heard some schools are throwing around the idea with the storms that should be coming through Friday.

That 3a sectional could be a tough one. I think it might be the hardest one in 3a. Makes for some interesting games but man that could be some tough games.

A lot of his coaching was in Florida and Louisiana but while in Evansville he coached at Harrison. Coach gets fired and is passed over for the next head coach for the coach there now. Brings high energy and will get the kids behind him.

Thanks!

Can't find an article yet but they did name their coach last night. Charles Benintende was officially named their head coach last night at their board meeting. Fantastic dude, got to personally work with him in Evansville and is very knowledgeable. I was very sorry to see him leave but things happen. He will get numbers up and understands football better than anyone else. I can't say if he has any talent there to win but he will get the best out of his kids. Congrats Coach

Hey so I am curious, is anyone on here in the know of Madison football? I am curious because they are going to hire a close friend of mine as their new head coach and I know little to nothing about them and I wanted to see does anyone know anything about them they are willing to share? Do they have much history of success or do they have anything coming up. Just looking for information coming from not knowing anything.

So its not confirmed yet but Mater Dei has some foundation work started at the school by the football field. I heard they are going to build a 16 football bronze statue of Coach Goebel similiar to Bud Kilmer in the movie Varsity Blues to honor coach when he deciedes to retire. Can't wait to see it when it is finished.

The lights in all of the EVSC gyms were replaced this summer but nothing has been addressed with the lighting at Enlow or Reitz

Harrison, Central and Bosse are all at the same level of talent. The bottom of the conference will be really bad this year. I have lost all faith in North being able to win a big game in the playoff's. They should be at the top of the conference but if they finish 5-5 again and lost again in the sectionals all they hype is for nothing.

Central will be naming the new football coach tonight. Central guy with not much coaching experience and no head coaching experience. Hope the best for the program but they have a long way ahead of them to get back to their success they once had. He must rebuild the youth system because all of their high school success came from the success of the feeder program.

My vote is to have the Bloomington Schools join the SIAC. I69 makes it an easy drive. Come on down guys!

Has anyone heard about Harrison and Bosse getting new turf this off season? Central and Reitz got it a few years ago and I think it is time to return Harrison and Bosse but I haven't heard anything about it.
