When is a bad snap a ‘snap infraction’ and not a bad snap/fumble? I am assuming the offense was running the ‘freeze’ play - hard count then look to the sideline. 10 players got the memo because everyone was set. Everyone except the center who snapped the ball.

Not only that, but I've heard that the crew marked him down at the six inch line (which appears to be correct, IMO). So the headlines that they won the game on the play are a bit sensationalized.

Not to my knowledge. Crazy thing though is that you could combine MD and Memorial and still have less students (1050 or so) than Harrison, Central, Reitz, or North. Only would be bigger than Bosse. What's Jasper's current enrollment? Probably right around that, at least last time I checked.

Wait. You're telling me THSV doesn't have two players wearing #20? One named Josh Cottee who is a SR. and the other one is Joshua Cottee, who is a 6'1 200lb SR? 😄 Maxpreps is better than nothing, but I've learned to take it with a heavy dose of salt. Graduates and players that have quit somehow still appear on a lot of rosters, but they get shuffled to the bottom with no jersey #. As an example, I doubt Forest Park really has 63 athletes on this year's team. Although if they do, they immediately become my favorite to win the PAC small division.

You've basically described the teams traditionally in the bottom half of the SIAC standings, IMO.

Another important question - when do your freshmen play? Saturday, Monday, or Thursday? I think the SIAC has adopted the Thursday BEFORE the varsity game the next night. Which is the absolute worst day possible, IMO.

I really hope someone meant to give a #1 vote for Mooresville and accidentally clicked Martinsville by mistake. That is the only way that makes sense.

I’ll allow it. It is 29.6 miles north of monument circle in downtown Indy. Makes a whole lot more sense than County Road 600 South.

Easy for a fan of New Prairie to say. SB St Joe, Lowell, Northridge. Every single one of those schools is 60-70 minutes away. Meanwhile down south Evansville Memorial faced Northview (2.5 hours), East Central (4 hours - via Ohio and Kentucky) and Mt Vernon (3.5 hours). You can worry about fall Saturday activities, I think allowing students to stay in school until 3 and parents to work until 5 is kind of a big deal too. Neutral sites? I agree. That would never work. But Saturdays can make sense sometimes

Illinois mandates all playoff games on Saturday between 1 and 7pm unless BOTH teams agree on a switch to Friday to eliminate gamesmanship. *cough MD/Triton Central * cough I would be ok with Indiana doing the same with regional and SS rounds.

If only Rode had a younger sister who played volleyball. Then she could transfer without much notice. Once that was ok, then he could have transferred knowing that it couldn’t be denied. This is all hypothetical by the way.

Ummm. Wood Memorial? Where to begin… I wouldn’t say you ‘missed’ it. But it was a whole thing.

I think Tecumseh is fine, at least based on where the school is located, a few miles west of Lynnville and IN-61. It’s actually straight south of Oakland City when I pulled it up on Google maps. I never would have guessed that.

I would agree with this idea. I think that probably is the best way to handle it. I will point out that there have been fights/skirmishes at NFL joint practices. So even at the highest levels, chippyness can get out of hand.

No love for the Hatchets, eh? Lol

If Reitz Bowl would ever upgrade its lights from their 1970’s, I would put it number one. I don’t mind a track, as long as it’s a legitimate setup, like Central Stadium. Enlow’s old configuration, where the track ran under the visitor stands or whatever Hatchet Hollow is supposed to be- I can do without. I am a fan of SS and VL. Decades ago when I would scout next week’s opponent, I would make note of how many visiting players were more interested in talking to fans than the game. One time at SS, a visiting backup had a full 5 minute conversation with a cheerleader while the game was going on. I really hope it worked out for that young man, because he was trying hard to impress her. Lol

Not sure about your 9-8. It looks like 9-4 to me, through 2013. Unless PAC wins count double? http://www.almanacsports.com/football/series.php?team1=PIKEC&team2=BOS http://www.almanacsports.com/football/series.php?team1=WAS&team2=BOS (Bosse won, but forfeited in 2012) http://www.almanacsports.com/football/series.php?team1=PRI&team2=BOS

If you include Princeton and Washington, you should also include Boonville to be consistent.

What about a team that goes 9-0 and only returns 2 offensive starters the next year? Is a joke to expect them to take a step back? I would disagree with Mr 812 and think the JCats should be much higher on the rankings. They are a tough bunch and it’s gonna take a solid team to beat them. But in the preseason, every team has ?? that won’t be answered until they get into live action.

The pre-season favorites for the south (alphabetically) 21: Brebeuf, Mooresville, Roncalli 22: Mt Vernon, New Palestine 23: East Central, Silver Creek 24: Jasper, Memorial, Reitz I think the sectional winners will come from that group, and I would guess the eventual state champ as well.

I can't speak for others, but IMO if you define "failure" in HS football based solely on W-L record, you don't get the point of HS football.

Transfer or move? Not to argue semantics but that is a world of difference, IMO. The Spegal family moving from Muncie to New Palestine should not be scrutinized as heavily as a player that switches schools without an actual address change.

Any updates from the Bears squad?

This is not directed at HH or Reitz, but both teams have had multiple 11 on 11 scrimmages this summer. Are teams choosing one-off scrimmages now instead of overnight team camps hosted at a college? That seems to be the case IMO, but curious what it’s like around the state.
