Such a "glass half full" kind of guy, lol.

Correction: Kudos to FWCS......if.......they get this done. To be completed by Fall of 2026. Seating for 4000. Additional parking. New concession and restroom building. Current bleachers to be relocated to North Side for additional visitor seating.

That's good news. I would have thought at least 5000 being a 6A football program, but they'll take what they can get. Kudos to FWCS for getting this done.

At the end of the day, regardless of the era, the two best teams more than likely played for the title. Meaning the best team from the north and the best team from the south. So no, I don't the the argument holds any weight. Center Grove came onto the scene about a decade or two behind the other powers, hence less championships.

That was a good Homestead team. I was shocked at the outcome.

God bless you Bob. God bless America. God bless every American........right, left, and everyone in between. The damage is done, there are no corrective measures, only bandaids to stop the bleeding. Not even Trump can fix this mess. And thank God for high school football. We're going to need it during a very turbulent fourth quarter of 2024. Take care gents, I'm out.

You're not stupid Bob, but certainly naive. You defend the court system the same way you defend every bad call a ref makes in football. The people, especially the "uneducated", aren't as stupid as the media makes them out to be. And it's going to show in the polls. The democrats only chance at victory is to throw Trump in jail. What's been thrown at Trump to derail his political run is an absolute disgrace. In the meantime, The Clinton Foundation is squeaky clean. And the Obamas and Bidens became rich on their own merits. God help anyone who actually believe that.

If you remember, he entered the race in 2016 as a Republican because he didn't think he had a chance as an independent. Politicians are groomed in elite prep schools, then typically Ivy League law schools. They're taught politics from day one. Then they somehow become rich after being elected............very, very rich. Trump doesn't fit that mold.

Trump is hardly status quo or political elite. He's hated in Manhattan because he's from Queens. He's hated in Palm Beach because he's "new money." He's not part of the good ol' boy club. Not sure how you can lump him in the same category as past politicians. He's different, he's "change", and he's smart. But I do respect your position for wanting another option versus what we currently have.

So you're one of those guys? Comfortable with the status quo? Begging for someone with an Ivy League education to lead the way? A political elite? So you're a follower, not a leader? Noted.

Lol, no one can balance the budget. Not even Trump. Our "trustworthy" politicians corrupted the financial integrity of our country. We're at a point of no return. See Germany and Venezuela.

Said like a true poor man. God blesses those who give back. But in this case, I was referring to campaign money. Goodness, you're hard work.

You mean like the 53 million his campaign generated 24 hours after his guilty verdict? Good for him. Whatever it takes for him to drain the swamp. You should be on our side Muda, not the political elites. Something tells me you're more like us than them. I mean, you're allegiance is to Rossville, not Punahou.

Day one hopefully. Drain the swamp. Shouldn't every average American want the swamp drained? No more back alley deals at the expense of the taxpayers. Funny how how Biden has three multi million dollar homes on his former and current salary. Same with the Obama's and Clinton's. They became rich off of politics............again, at the expense of the tax payers. I find it comical that voters worship the political elite. We're nothing but ants to them. Trump is a non-politician, at least he was until he became president. If the people want "change", then why not vote for someone outside of the "good ol' boy club"? Obama became president because people wanted change. To them, a black president was change. He went to the same elite prep high schools that the Bush's and Clinton's went to, lol. He's a good ol' boy. That wasn't change. Trump is "change". And the politicians hate him because he's better at it than they are. Make America Great Again

That pretty much sums up the entire Democratic party. It's all a joke.......a game. Power first, America last. I truly feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to buy what they are selling the American public. Open borders, desperate for votes. Putting abortion clinics in all the black communities in the 70's population control, has really come back to bite them in the butt.

This year for two reasons: 1. Favorable schedule 2. More than normal talent

Past Decade Luke Goode (Homestead) Two Decades John Goodman (Dwenger)

Athletic facilities at Purdue Fort Wayne already look like a third world country, so I guess that won't change.

Sad to hear this, prayers for the families.

Didn't know the Pacers were even in the playoffs. Congrats to them.

Northrop's track success goes back decades. Probably not much to do with open enrollment, but more about those leading the program. I think all city schools are blessed with speed, it just doesn't translate to the football or track fields without the right person leading the way. I honestly can't tell you when open enrollment started in Fort Wayne. If I were to guess, I would say it's been around for a couple of decades. I believe each school is allotted x amount of transfers, but it has to be academically motivated. Each school has an academic program that is specific to that school, therefore giving students the opportunity to transfer to that school for academic purposes. Does it get abused? Probably. But probably not to the extent that people think it does. Snider enjoys success because their coaches know how to develop players for the next level. They just do things differently than thier FWCS counterparts. Bishop Luers not only have good men leading the way, but they're also the recipient of many athletes on the voucher system. The Knights aren't 100% good ol' catholic kids like they were in the 80's and early 90's. Dwenger has always been good about developing through their pipeline (Dabo mentality). North Side is loaded with talent, but is at the mercy of who's leading the way at the time. Same with Wayne, Northrop, and South Side. Consistency is key, and Snider's had it for five decades now. They've built a community that spans over 50 years. That's the difference. If you look at major D1 football talent from Fort Wayne, you'll see that they come from just about every school district. I think Snider's just better at developing the DII and DIII kids.

Was never at Northrop either.

He seems to bounce around a lot. To be fair though, I'm not certain he left North Side on his own accord. Good coach.

Glad you brought that to the table. Thanks for the update Bash. This Irish team is expecting a national championship. A nine win season would be a colossal fail.

Fighting Irish?
