HHPatriots

While I am not Catholic (Southern Baptist here), the overwhelming majority of our community is Catholic. Maybe you are on to something.

While I realize that we have to play them, it is such a waste of a week. It does nobody any good. Our county rivals are anything but rivals. Good news for us is that this is supposedly the last year we are playing ours....but they are no longer in the conference. Princeton should get in a different conference.

Who will be taking snaps for the Titans--Zach have a little brother? Pending us getting our lives together, I do believe we will be very competitive to win the sectional. Reitz will be tougher (I think) and Jasper is an unknown. Putting a running clock on Jasper on their field in sectional was one of the most fun games I have ever watched. They deserved all that beat down. But, there is a ton of football between now and then....if the draw puts us with Jasper, they will be out for blood. Other conference stuff....For Southridge--Luke Messmer will change things for the better being on Coach B's staff. I would bet that they will be bigger, stronger and faster with him on the staff.

Tyce Winchell has been the backup behind Jett. Unless something has changed, I'd say he is the guy, which is no secret. He was as fast as Jett, but doesn't have the size. Tyce is a great kid, humble, quiet, does his job and moves to the next play. He has been a gunslinger, which comes with good and bad. Fact is you can always come up with a skinny kid to run fast--that's never the problem. What is a problem and also no secret is that we graduated 5 veteran offensive lineman who also played DL. With all that said, we do have a secret, and it is kept about as well as the new head coach secret was kept. We are getting close. I don't know if we will have anything for the Titans this year, but I think we will be competitive. Kevin's first year at HC.....it was a rocky one for Todd in his first year, I'd say Kevin may have more to work with but losing generational talent won't help.

He really is, when we played them in sectional last season I'd say he was the fastest kid on the field that night. As a freshman last season he probably didn't weigh 120 lbs, but that didn't matter, he was hard to catch and very slippery. If he sticks with it, he could be very interesting when he puts some weight on.

It pretty much is indeed the worst kept secret. They tried to keep it on the down low, but that typically doesn't work well round here. I think it will be "official" next Monday.

Alex Bettag at Roncalli, who was previously at Southport is an example. But who wants to come back? Who knows?

Ok so since you did say the name....😀 Kevin is the natural choice, but he is the Vice Principle now. There was question when he became VP if he would even be able to continue as an assistant. His VP job could possibly stand in the way of being head coach. They made Alcorn quit as wrestling coach when he became an admin.

There is a likely guy, I'm not going to say that name, most know who that would be. Outside of him there are 2 other possibilities currently on the staff. I would say that this will be opened up to the outside and see what it attracts. Like you said, our new AD really doesn't want to screw this up. A 3 win season? Yeah, that may be success at Princeton but we have only had 3 or 4 losing seasons in 50 years. We all are aware of the expectation. I have my hope for who the next guy will be.....we will see.

You can show out as the best player on the team, but if the coach doesn't put you up for it, it doesn't happen.

Things can always change, but yes Tyce Winchell is the likely QB next year. Who, by the way, I thought did a stellar job for the disaster that he was thrown in the middle of. I agree, option game would make sense and be great. Great season indeed. Roncalli was alot.

I'm not sure that'll be the problem that it would normally be. The typical people that may have no dog in the fight will likely not want to sit in 45 degree rain. If my kid wasn't playing, I'd be watching from the couch.

You know, it seems odd to me that for the supposed #1 game in the state this weekend (according to the below) that there isn't more chatter about it. https://www.newsbreak.com/share/4353856182368-ranking-indiana-s-high-school-football-semistate-games-from-12-to-1?fbclid=IwdGRjcAOMVfhjbGNrA4xV62V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHmFrKbmvV8FdrpGeS07TdrezuDPLw728CoSJPClt1toK2jwYTkHZJYsVb9eW_aem_5smLjHzBkozTcJWUrom20A Nothing to say?

Last time we played, we won state in 2000 with Jay Cutler at the helm. I wonder if there are any parents of these Roncalli kids that played in that game??? There ARE parents of kids on HH team that played in that game in 2000.
