New Sectional Assignments
Daniel_Bragg replied to Coach Edwards's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
In 2022, the Executive Meeting was held May 3rd, with the alignments being announced later that day. The next executive meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday. Look for them to be announced later that day. -
Two great kids. In fact, one of the families brought multiple kids. One plays basketball. Set a new school record for threes in a game, as a Freshman. The one from Westfield was at Sheridan for his Jr and Sr year. Again, phenomenal kid. According to him and his parents, he was struggling in such a large environment, and the "small school" feel helped tremendously in academics and his state of mind. Are you suggesting otherwise, or is my sarcasm meter off?

Sheridan returns a lot of their OL, but will be looking for a new lead RB. Return QB. WR is another position that they will be looking for, as all WRs and TE were all Seniors. That being said, these positions were also question marks going into last season. Sheridan and Coach Wright are pretty good at finding talent for one season in the skill positions. Also, worth mentioning that Sheridan has open enrollment. Both WRs from last year were from outside of Sheridan. One from Carmel, one from Westfield. As Sheridan has a rather large student body of transfers, it'll be interesting to see who/if any choose to come play/learn at Sheridan next season.

State Champion vs Class Champions

You notice the original poster hasn't said much during this "debate". Me thinks he saw the sentiment and bailed. -
2024 Turf and Beyond
Daniel_Bragg replied to btownqbcoach1's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I do find humor in a comment you made in the past, about textbooks. The vast majority of schools are using funds to pay for these fields out of funding that cannot legally go toward salaries, textbooks, etc. These are called capital projects. The funding source of which is made up of property taxes. Rooftops to put it another way. Funding for salaries, textbooks, etc. comes from the state on a per student basis. This is why some schools are forced to utilize referendums. As with all governmental entities, all incoming money isn't just thrown into one massive pot and pulled from to pay whatever bill you desire. I think you would greatly enjoy searching through the Indiana Gateway. Go through some of these school districts financial forms, and see where the money is being allocated and going toward. I don't think you are a troll. However, I do believe your vitriol for this might be coming from a place of lack of education on the source material. -
2024 Turf and Beyond
Daniel_Bragg replied to btownqbcoach1's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Is this what your hatred is really about? Because you didn't get to play on it, you feel kids today shouldn't? I believe in wanting BETTER for kids today than what I had it. Turf solves a lot of problems for some schools. Take Sheridan. By adding turf, not only does our football program get a top-notch field to play on, but the soccer games can all be moved to the turf as well. For the past forever, they have been playing soccer on a very outdated soccer field that is off-campus, raising concerns for student and fan safety. The old soccer field will now be town property, where the plan is to build a new larger capacity salt barn, which obviously benefits the community. Also, the band will get to utilize the new turf. Moving their practices from the blacktop parking lot where they have been since before the 00s, to a safer (and cooler) turf field. Are some schools changing to turf just to spend extravagantly? Sure. However, to assume that EVERY school is doing that, is naive and ignorant. -

As a Sheridan person, I support these alignments. LOL -
2024 Turf and Beyond
Daniel_Bragg replied to btownqbcoach1's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
First of all, you have no idea what wild and extravagant spending I champion. I'm a sitting Councilman, and absolutely understand how not to spend money. However, you didn't answer my question. Are you someone who just likes to make noise, or are you someone who actually wants to get involved and do your part for your school system? Being hard-nosed about saving the taxpayers money is commendable. However, if you are only looking at this issue, as you have kind of been signaling, from a "how much does installation cost" aspect, then you are not looking at the bigger picture that A LOT of these school boards are. Is there frivolous spending in every school district? Absolutely. But again, your vehement hatred for anything turf screams more "I own stock in sod", than a true worrisome taxpayer. -

Are you aware if they currently have a textbook shortage? With as concerned as you obviously are about taxpayer money, I certainly hope you have run for your local school board. We need bean-counters like you... -

Is there ANY possible way for this to get back on topic, rather than Muda preaching how he doesn't like things? That'd be swell. -

Sheridan's construction I don't believe begins until after track season, and their turf is slated to be installed by August 1. It's pretty crazy how quickly these things get done nowadays. -
State Champion vs Class Champions
Daniel_Bragg replied to slice60's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Is this really what some people in big schools worry about? Does it eat away at your person every time a 1A champion is crowned? I mean, find something worthwhile to worry about in life. Sheesh. Oh, and they already do this. Class 1A State Champion Class 2A State Champion, etc. -

2024 Turf and Beyond
Daniel_Bragg replied to btownqbcoach1's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I believe the approved bid was $1.2M. The important thing to know when discussing Sheridan is that this will also solve an issue that has been going on for at least the past 20+ years, the soccer field not being on campus. By adding turf, not only are drainage and upkeep issues that currently exist on the football field resolved, but now the soccer games will be played on campus, which is a win for security purposes. Also, now the band will be able to practice somewhere that isn't the asphalt parking lot. -

Let's hope not! Would be pretty cool to have Week 1 at home on new turf, with our newly finished fieldhouse and spirit store, new concession, etc. -

For my broadcasting sake, I pray neither. LOL! Endzones will look really nice though, I imagine. I haven't seen any drawings. Personally, I hope it's a big S at the 50, with one red endzone and one black endzone. -

Sheridan School Board accepted a bid to install turf at Sheridan High School. Field will be equipped with soccer lines as well. Per the AD, installation should be finished on August 1st.
