Plymouth beats Warsaw 33-32 in OT.

I’d be interested in all classes (except 4A).

I would say not in 4A and most likely not in 1A.

Is Gridiron Digest doing another bracket challenge this year during tournament time for all 6 classes? Just curious.

Lapel is free tomorrow I think?

Winner would be the home team

I think that this is a huge advantage that some students have compared to others. I completed the majority of my bachelors and almost all of my masters online while working a daily job. What you taught your children as far as self discipline and time management skills will go a long way. But even in the impoverished schools where kids don’t have a lot to do to stay entertained, they will find a way to do football related activities and a good coach would encourage them to put their studies first but to also watch as much film and stay in as good of shape and hydrated as possible. Every district’s virtual learning will be different like Irishman state’s but we would all be naive to say that CERTAIN districts won’t be more at an advantage. Like I said, I don’t have a solution but was just curious why this had not been brought up yet because there has been hundreds of debates in here on the last 3 months but no one addressed this.

I agree with you in a sense. I think the ELITE programs like Warren Central, Cathedral, and a few others can find a way where these kids can group together and take advantage of this free time. It will not follow social distancing rules, but who is really regulating at this point and who can blame these kids for just wanting to improve and better themselves and the groups overall chemistry? These kids can watch film together, do routes, and workout in a more unique atmosphere than the kids that are in school 8 hours a day. I don’t think this will hurt classes 1A-3A but 4A-6A could see a significant advantage with kids who have D1 Aspirations. Just my 2 cents though. It takes a special athlete to get a D1 scholarship and I see a lot of these kids taking advantage of the down time that virtual schooling allows.

I posted this in another forum that got way out of hand and locked (rightfully so) and am curious to hear others’ thoughts I know that these Indy kids and other virtual students did not ask for these circumstances but I think it’s a little crazy that no one on any of these posts has talked about the MASSIVE advantage that the students have that are not attending a traditional 8 hour classroom sitting but instead are online and many juniors and seniors will be working at their own pace. I think it’s a massive advantage of doing your class work when you feel like it compared to being required to show up for 8 hours of school and then have a grueling 3 hour practice. It’s not the kids or parents’ faults but I am surprised that no one has discussed how big of an advantage this truly is for virtual schools. As long as these virtual students have self discipline, they have a huge edge in my opinion. And no I don’t have a solution for this but was just curious why no one has brought this up on the site (at least that I could find).

Are students officially in the building today at Avon?

Whether I believe that Covid-19 is as serious as the media portrays or isn’t , I do think it will have a significant impact on this season and if I was a betting man, I honestly don’t think this season will be finished once the second wave hits. A lot of people are talking about schools shutting down in October and I just feel like many schools do not have a great plan that is safe, efficient, and is PR friendly in order for a full football season to be played. I’d love to be wrong but am seriously starting to have doubts and the ivy league just adds another obstacle. Just my opinion though.
