It isn't only a high school football book but the best "non-football" football book I've ever read is "A Season of Life" by Jeffery Marx.

Yep, that's a good one!

I'm currently reading 'Race and football in America" by Dawn Knight.  It highlights George Taliaferro and by the title alone am hoping by reading it I can continue to do my part to make this world a better place.

I know Dick Dullaghan wrote a book, "Reflections of Indiana football". 

I've read "Chasing perfection" and 'The right kind of Heros".

I was wondering what other books are out there written about HS football. 

I'm interested in if and how teams are addressing this?  We need to do better.  We need to listen, educate, and do much much more than just wait until something happens.  Stop thinking racism doesn't exist.

For all the finals this weekend the change of possession has been an either very quick play clock start or longer than usual.  The quick start has resulted in what I recall at least 2 teams getting a delay of game to start their drive.  The delay if course being commercial breaks which I understand both teams are dealing with but when it comes to momentum it puts damper in things at times.

Lastly, I miss hearing Coach Dullaghan.  I wish more retired coaches or even current coaches, would call these games.  Nothing against who is calling the games this weekend.

Anyone have Metronet know how to watch the 5a game?  

That was a top notch post game winning coach interview.

I was wondering if Boser played dline back in the day?

I’ll say it again - it can be done. The IHSAA and it’s member schools choose not to.  Other states seem to manage those obstacles you identified.

I can buy the idea that schools want to host their sectional to have a home court/field advantage.  I don’t think that reason is as common for events after sectional.  Greenfield-Central, Martinsville, and Frankfort all host 1A or 2A regionals in boys basketball.  All 3 are in different classes and are only guaranteed to NOT have a home court advantage.  Their team could also be playing elsewhere the same day/night.  It’s been a while since a boys basketball team played in a semi-state they hosted.  Many schools enjoy hosting tournament events, very few of which choose to because of a belief that they will have a home court/field advantage.  Seymour, Huntington North, Lafayette Jeff, Washington, Southport, Logansport, Elkhart…not a criticism of their athletic teams, but not many are making deep tournament runs and playing at home.

I do think the IHSAA needs to create a greater incentive for schools to host regional and semi-state events.

If a fully neutral site hurts attendance from the IHSAA’s perspective, why do they play the state finals at Lucas Oil instead of letting schools play at home?  They played the championship games at home sites from 1973-1976.  Football is one of the few IHSAA tournaments that do not play regional and semi-state rounds at neutral sites.  I would like to see that change now that more adequate facilities are available.

Any idea of the locations beginning in 77?

Westfield 21 Noblesville 6 at the half

LC 7 Warren 0 at the half

HSE 7 Fishers 0 at the half

Game just started.  West Lafayette vs Brebeuf.

Is Wndy running a game tonight?  I've been watching for it to start and this Humana Infomercial is on.

Thanks.  I'm curious how places like Edgewood, Wabash, and Southmont get ahold of the $ to do this.

Is there a break down anywhere on how many 1-3a teams have turf fields?  I'm also curious about how many from the north vs south have turf fields.

Westfield has hosted a summer 7 on7 for several years with the exception of last summer.  

Westfield Middle School will host our 7 on 7 on Saturday July 17th, 2021

Games will be at our stadium which has turf as well as our grass practice fields

Incoming 8th grade teams or a combo of both 7/8th are invited.   

Players will need a helmet, shoulder pads, mouthpiece, cleats, and if possible the team in the same color of jerseys.  

We want this to be a positive experience for everyone so coaches are welcome to be on the field.  

$50 per team

$75 total if you bring 2 teams

No fee for spectators.

Games are 25 minutes with a 5 minute break in between.

We will start the first games at 9am and go until noon or 1pm depending on the turnout for that particular date.

In past years teams have had an opportunity to get a lot of valuable experience and I feel it was a huge success for those who attended.

Contact me for more info and to let me know which date you will be coming & which grade the team's) you want to bring.

I know Washington was one of the 3 who conceded the sectional championship.  Who were the other 2?

Just curious, does anyone have a tally of regular season games cancelled, round 1 sectional, round 2, etc?

Which teams that are 5a and 6a do NOT play on turf home fields?

I wonder if anyone has requested to use a college football stadium for their games this fall?  This would allow for a larger crowd to attend and be able to socially distance the fans, bands, etc.

Not sure what this means for HSE athletics.
