I haven't heard much. Is the controlled scrimmage schedule the same? Central vs GS, Boonville vs North, Castle vs Memorial, Jasper vs Heritage Hills, Reitz vs Mater Dei, Bosse vs. Linton? I forget who Harrison and Vincennes Lincoln play.

I am fine with every class being represented. There are some good players at lower levels as the game MVP demonstrated. I hardly think one South win, when North had won 5 straight previously, is cause for urgent change. I also did not go, but those I talked to that did thought North had an athletic advantage prior to the game. Uncle Mo jumped on the south side after the pick 6 to open scoring. Then special teams really swung the outcome to make it appear more lopsided.

I don’t think it was played in 2020, but quick question: which side won the previous five? (2015 - 2019)

I know it’s been that way quite a while. Maybe a dozen or so years or more? D1 programs like to enroll their incoming freshmen into a summer school course early/mid June. Once the player enrolls into college (in summer school) the rules change regarding benefits: training, coaching, workouts, etc. and the level of contact the school can have with the athlete. I’m not an NCAA expert, but it basically boils down to college students cannot play a game against non-college students. Which is what a D-1 enrolled player would be doing with someone who was going to a D3 school and doesn’t enroll until August.

Mel Brooks: It’s good to be the king.

Colton Pence (Memorial), Connor Delp (Center Grove), and Micah Wilson (Covenant Christian) just covered 80 yards in about 4-5 plays to score. South leads 17-0.

Looks like a good night in Anderson. game currently streaming on the ISC network

12 questions? I want to know the answer to super secret question #3. It must have been censored. 10. I think that the success factor has accomplished what it was set out to. I do struggle with it some. Jumping out of football for a second we have a great girls softball program here and we have been up in 4A for quite some time. No guarantees certainly, but I think they would have had some chances the past few years to make some great runs. Those girls didn’t have that opportunity because of the program having success while they are in middle school. I agree with Coach Hart on this one. Winning sectional is enough in the minds of the success factor. Their softball team doesn't get a shot at a deeper run against like-sized competition so other 3A schools get a chance to win.

They are two completely separate things. Hudl sideline is a great review tool to see what happened last play. A coach up top is a spotter to help with the next play (players running on/off the field, is the ref marking the OOB spot short of the first down, etc.) That is good to hear. Trying to force Hudl Sideline into a replay system is asking it to do something it was not designed to do. On the goal line, I will take a properly positioned referee over any video camera angle from the endzone or midfield.

I will rephrase my tongue-in-cheek comment. One P/P team will eliminated quickly from the tournament, which I think is the IHSAA’s intent. The unintended consequences like you have mentioned are why I agree it would be a bad thing for football in the state. As it is, Chatard must win sectional in 2021 and 2022 or win a regional in one of those years or they would return to 3A.

You say outrageous and unfair. I think Roncalli/Chatard meeting the first round of the sectional means the system is working just as the IHSAA intended. But that’s just me.

I hit submit before I could add that, but agreed. At least most of those are local and with your HS team. You just have to go out of state to find good baseball teams, or so I have been told. I guess Dubois county doesn’t count??

Football encourages multi sport athletes, yet is the sport that seems to ‘give’ more than any other. I mean, who’s to say which of the 16U Gold Silver Elite Prep Baseball Showcase events is more important than the other 7 ones?

Your numbers add to 59.5. The SIAC is guaranteed to go 45-45 the first 9 weeks, which means 14.5 of those would come from playoffs. That would be an interesting prop bet as well: 14.5 playoff wins for the SIAC. I would have to think about that one.

Teams south of Morgantown Rd need not apply.

No. Next question

I can see the appeal for Anderson. If I were in administration at any lower level football school - Marian, Anderson, Franklin, UIndy - I would want as many people on campus over summers as possible. It makes sense for Anderson since they hosted the Colts training camp for so many years.

The Colts are hosting a 7 on 7 this coming Saturday the 19th. It has traditionally been the 3rd Saturday in June (exc. 2020 obviously). I assume they wanted to avoid that conflict.

Gotta admit. I had a good belly laugh at this. We called them LAM (Look at me!!) posts in my day, but I guess they are humble brags now.

That’s a pretty impactful story - if true. I wonder why it hasn’t been picked up by any news outlet? I need more than a vague bit of information about a Facebook post before I will speculate.

Just a weird bit of geography. 2017 was bizarre all the way around. Evansville Central played at East Central (EC vs EC) on Friday after driving through KY and OH en route. Saturday featured Lawrenceburg at Evansville Memorial (Tigers vs Tigers) driving the opposite route.

Marion played at Evansville Central in 2018. That had to be 4 hours or more by bus. However the Bears had to travel to East Central via KY & OH for two straight years in Regionals so I’m sure they didn’t feel too sorry.

However, a Pigskin Pick’em isn’t Kosher.

**taps screen Darn. My sarcasm meter must be broken.

It’s now Facebook official, as new Head Coach Kelly Brashear is posting from the Pike Central football Facebook page. I’m not sure if this was the name you had heard or not. I assume it isn’t, but did not know. Regardless, best of luck to Coach Brashear and the Chargers.
