That's not really saying much. From a 6A standpoint Elkhart had the worst offense I've personally seen this year. Nice! His sister lives or at least used to live in Carmel. I randomly met his parents in Carmel a year or so ago. VERY nice people. Mom was proudly wearing a vintage Steelers shirt.

Technically, 4 teams with a winning record if you count the team from Arizona. Crown Point is essentially a HCC team stuck playing a schedule beneath their ability. I think it would be wise of them to drop Lowell, but that may never happen considering that is a very long standing south Lake County rivalry game. No idea what they have planned for Week 2 next year. And the DAC is a 5A Conference until Lake Central and Portage figure out how to play football again or Penn and Elkhart get brought in. I wouldn't count them out against Westfield or one of the HSE schools just becuase of their schedule. They have talent everywhere including high end talent (5 D1 recruits, 4 if you don't count Indiana State), very good line play, and elite coaching. They've steamrolled their entire schedule, which is what I would expect from a potential Top 5 team not playing an HCC or MIC caliber schedule.

Oh, I agree that Elkhart had a lot of athletes and the WR's were winning the jump balls like you said. They just didn't have the passing ability to run the offense they tried throwing at Snider, IMO.

I get what you're saying. Kind of of impossible to sugar coat it. Neither QB was was capable of throwing the ball last night. I thought Sndier handled the situation better in the 2nd half by dialing up what appeared to be a few simple single read plays that fooled the Elkhart D. To cue Denny Green, Elkhart was who we thought they are. They have a huge, athletic and talented DL and that's about it. A majority of their passing yards came on poorly thrown jump balls. I don't get why they continued to try forcing the ball downfield in the passing game. Especially when the QB kept going Will Levis and not just taking a sack when nothing is there. Elkhart was very lucky the 2nd INT wasn't a pick 6 as well. That ball can't be thrown.

Personally ,I don't think the timezone difference is that big of a game changer. It wasn't a roadblock that couldn't be cleared years ago when Penn was ready to accept an invitation. Worst case scenario they can limit games against Crown Point, Merrillville and Lake Central to Friday / Saturday. Looking at Penn's basketball schedule for this year and I see 5 DAC opponents on the schedule. It's fairly common now for DAC foes to be on Penn athletic schedules.

There you go! Book a few of the jets that fly out of Indy Exec Airport on SR 32, fly into Gary International or Porter County Regional in Valpo and then charter some busses to Crown Point.

Jurko is awesome. I work in Finance and crunch numbers all day in front of a computer so I probably listen to at least 6-8 hours per day of Chicago sports talk while working. Byard, Johnson, Kmet and Moore all publically criticized the following coaching decisions yesterday to the media: Kramer time Fade pass on 1st and goal when Washington only had 1 TO left Not defending the sideline when Washington still needed about 15 yards to get into range for Daniel's to reach the EZ Not calling TO before the Hail Mary pass. If I were Kmet I would corner Waldron and ask him why I wasn't more involved in the passing game. Nonetheless, do you think that aligns with your previous belief that the Bears should be player led? Man, this team badly needs a W in the desert to put the stench of Washington past them.

Pure hunch on my part, but I have a feeling Snider rolls Elkhart by double digits. I'll take the coach/program with a history of success over the upstart with a 1st year coach and an offense that has failed to show up against any team with a pulse.

Interesting. I haven't heard about that. Whitestown gets their water from Citizens and has no issues that I'm aware of. I'm in Whitestown daily. I can see the infrastructure being put in all over the place to support new development as well as new neighborhoods getting built. This is all within the Lebanon district around Gold Club of Indiana (West of I-65 and West of Indianapolis Road) as well as to the east / north / near south of the old town of Whitestown. The neighborhoods that line Indianapolis Road feed into Zionsville as well as the neighborhoods east of I-65 and south of 500 South. Here's a recent article about a new development proposal that mentions Whitestown is planning on going from 13-14K in population to 26-30K within 10 years. A huge percent of that growth has to come form the Lebanon district. There's not much left to develop in the Zionsville district. I have no idea how much that will increase Lebanon's enrollment. https://fox59.com/news/110-million-retail-and-housing-development-proposed-in-whitestown/

I hear yeah, but the growth isn't in Lebanon. It's in Whitestown and that town is booming with construction. Only a small portion of the south end of Whitestown feeds into Zionsville. The rest of Whitestown, where the growth is planned, feeds into Lebanon. I think it'll become a reality. The infrastructure is already being added North and West of Whitestown for more growth. Whether that moves the needle on Lebanon's enrollment will remain to be seen.

lol...blood thirst is correct! Do you listen to Carmen & Jurko at all? Jurko is a Region guy from Cal City and he had a lengthy NFL career at DT. He usually has good insight. He agreed with you that there's no way Flus was going to go public with reprimanding Stevenson. IDK, it just really pisses me off that he stood by the stance the D was set and they didn't need a TO. Just admit you didn't see what Stevenson was doing. Everything I've heard from Chicago media is that Poles loves Flus and he's not on the hot seat. At the very least I hope they don't bring Waldron back if the offense remains shakey the rest of the season.

Whatever Stevenson's punishment is for the situation should be kept in house. But, I don't see anything wrong with calling out a player in the media. Players need to be held accountable. Stevenson is a walking flag waiting to happen every game. He was also hit with a 15 yard unsportsman like conduct call in this game. I'm glad you brought up the Steelers. I 100% agree with you regarding them staying consistent. But, I really don't think Tomlin would have brushed off reporters after the game or a day later and said they didn't need to call a TO because everyone was in their correct position even though one guy is completely out of hte play and engaging fans. That's just tone deaf. The Steelers have a long history of winning because of good leadership. The Bears have finally figured out the McCaskey's can't be in charge of the ship. They made the right choice by bringing in Warren as President. Warren is the first President of Football Ops the McCaskey's have hired that wasn't a McCaskey or wasn't a career Accountant with no football experience (Phillips). At this point the Bears need to make sure they have the correct HC before trying to venture down the path of building longevity at the HC position. And if someone like Ben Johnson is available in the offseason the Bears should really consider getting into that market if the Bears finish out 9-8 with shaky offensive play. Otherwise, they better cut ties with Waldron quickly. They have CW and Odunze on very friendly contracts and Moore locked up for years. Starting next year the offense should be a finely tuned machine. So far Waldron is just not cutting it.

Nope. And the Fridge was used with a few minutes left in the 4th quarter and the Bears had clearly already won the game. The brilliant decision to put in an OL to carry the ball at the GL came while trailing Washington in the 4th quarter.

Lebanon and possibly Danville would likely outgrow that conference very quickly. Whitestown is planning on doubling their current population. A majority of that will fall inside of the Lebanon district as the area that feeds into Zionsville doesn’t have much room for more housing. Danville is supposedly expecting large growth as well.

Dupe post.

Of course Flus double and triple downed today in his idiotic comments. I heard him in 2 different interviews say the play that the Bears didn’t defend the sideline on that allowed Daniel’s to even get into Hail Mary range didn’t matter. He then said they didn’t need to call a TO to regroup on the final play because they had the defense in the spot they wanted them in. Yes, he stuck to that statement even though he was quickly reminded by multiple reporters that Stevenson was on his own yapping with the fans. I get why this guy is a players coach. For starters, he clearly won’t hold anyone accountable through the media. Regardless of how stupid it makes him look.

And only rushed 3 DL on the Hail Mary attempt with Sweat on the Sideline. SMH. Looking forward to hearing Flus today now that he's had a chance to watch tape.

It's clear the priority in the offseason will be OL and DL. Flus and Waldron need to be put under the scope as well. I love Flus as a DC. Not sold he's cut out out to be an NFL HC. No idea what he was doing on the final drive. He didn't have the sidellines covered and basically let Washington get right into position for the Hail Mary attempt. Didn't even bother calling a TO either to regroup the D and for the last play.

Unreal. Not sure what's worse: this play or another goal line blunder call by Waldron by calling for a handoff to an OL who ended up fumbling the handoff.

Center Grove draws from a portion of Greenwood and a majority of Center Grove's district, i.e, the wealthier areas, is not in the Greenwood City Limits. This tiny carved out section of Greenwood feeds into Greenwood HS. The parts of Greenwood to the East and SE go to Whiteland and the areas to the West and SW go to Center Grove. The North is Perry Meridan and Southport.

Georgia's DL and DC completely abused the Texas Offense. This game would have been much worse of a beatdown if Carson Beck didn't play poorly. He was clearly Georgia's weak link last night. Jalon Walker was a monster for Georgia.

Nah. He was a weasel who took his ball and left when he couldn't get his way, i.e., profit from this site. I'm surprised you and Muda feel the way you do.

Occam's Razor. Has to be your scenario. They're landlocked. Impossible to grow. The new growth sections of Greenwood that are still getting developed are in the Whiteland and Center Grove districts. The Woodmen are waving the white flag and acknowledging life in the Mid State is going to continually get worse.
