There are ups and downs in talent at the vast majority of high schools year-to-year. As a coach at a program that has not had a history of success, I wouldn't want anyone to take the job with the "isn't much we can do" mindset. It is fine to acknowledge the realities of a school's situation, but I think that it is a really negative mindset to chalk it up as "isn't much you can do." I agree with the sentiment that Coach Cooley is probably working hard and he is as capable as any other coach out there so I am not disagreeing with the idea that it is not all on him, because of course it isn't. I do, though, believe that New Albany is more than capable of improving significantly from where they are right now.

Who does Rushville have? Ready to see the return of JC Panther legend Rick "The Rifle" Zimmerman

Wing-T means a lot of things to a lot of people. Johnson and Clay Mannering definitely keep the Scott Mannering double wing Wing-T alive and well. Many teams are also doing lots of Gun-T or shotgun Wing T (billion ways to skin a cat) or at least mixing lots of Wing-T elements into spread running games. It is a great offense to watch and useful/applicable in many ways to this day.

Overall in high school football I guess people feel better losing in an offense they see on TV.

In what specific ways is the education “not comparable” at CN? What are they doing that is vastly superior? (Apologies in advance for including the quote twice. Lol.)

I know they aren't with us anymore, but nowhere else would make sense to share for our former comrades.

I've heard tell of a speedhawk from the east. Were you the guy that always hustled every single rep and didn't have no sissy attitude like these modern boys do?

Thank you, gentlemen.

Could someone tell me if this is accurate? I am unable to find anything directly on the IHSAA's website and I currently can't get on the NFHS site (I am sure it is my error) Thanks in advance! 4025playclock.pdf

Tragic, even.

We are lucky to have some homegrown coaches. Having someone to lead like Coach Newton who comes from a culture of success at Lewis Cass and other assistants from places with cultures of success like Brownstown Central and Columbus East has been invaluable.

Is there any sport East attracts more than North in besides wrestling? North is a very solid program but hard to argue with the collegiate wrestlers coming out of East in the last decade.

You leave our dear HHC alone! Lol.

Jennings County is hosting Brown County at 10 AM Saturday

How has he ruined the program?

Will you be announcing the Bulldog starters to the tune of Machinehead?

Do you know a rough cost on the North Knox facility?

I can confirm TJ Newton is not from Jennings County and was hired from outside for the HC position.

Great guy. Totally agree. A few points of contention: Just because many of us coaches are born and raised in JC does not mean we are incapable of adopting winning ideals and plans from the outside. Growing up in a losing football program does not resign you to knowing only failure for the rest of your life. Secondly, JC Football being a perpetually losing program is true, but we do have several other sports that range from solid to more than good. We don't just lose by nature. Our 3 most consistently successful programs right now (GBB, Track, XC) are all coached by insiders. I think outsiders are great, but as a born and raised JC alum and teacher/coach, I like to hope that my career path is not just "continue the losing" by default.

Jennings County JV/Fresh 28 - Batesville 8

Oof. Perfect example.

I watched that 15-16 team quite a bit. Lol. What number were you?
