I'm not sure most taxpayers wouldn't be happy with consolidation. This is why it continues to be a wonder why the Chamber of Commerce keeps trying to force this.

I think we still have to wait a few more games before I can tell you how good Sheridan is. CP operated as a team from the jump, whereas Sheridan was very shaky, and seemed to have jitters. They obviously figured it out later on. Just unfortunate that their first game was a conference matchup. I think CP can win the conference. It should be an exciting season for sure. I'm looking forward to Friday, and seeing how Sheridan plays against Clinton Central.

I think if they consolidated the schools, both could see a benefit. Although, then you have the question of where to put the new building that would likely follow the decision.

I've said for awhile now that Clinton Central and Prairie should consolidate. While I'm not in favor of the government forcing this, I think it would make sense for both schools.

That makes sense. Sorry about that. I let my emotions get the best of me on what I knew was going to be a stressful evening.

What did I miss?

I know schools like Sheridan have absolutely no interest in this terrible idea. We have ZERO desire to consolidate with Hamilton Heights, and even less desire to be absorbed into Westfield. Indiana Chamber of Commerce needs to find something else to talk about.

I'll happily take part in discussions throughout the season. I honestly forgot that there was a basketball side to the GID.

Tell me you've never been to Carmel High School without saying it...

My Hypothetical List(just for comparison): 1. Ben Davis 2. Brownsburg 3. Center Grove 4. East Central 5. Westfield 6. Cathedral 7. Hamilton Southeastern 8. Crown Point Using my list, this whole thing would kind of be moot. All but one are in 6A. I think in the vast majority of seasons, this Open Tournament would end up being almost completely 6A teams. To me, it defeats the purpose.

Personally, growing up in Sheridan, I can't tell you a single basketball game I attended until I was in high school in 2004. No one cares about basketball, when your football program is what drives the school system. Looking back now, I do kind of wish that I had at least seen a little bit of single-class basketball, but class system has never bothered me.

I don't know how many people have looked at buying tickets to the Finals on Friday and Saturday, but these fees are outrageous. 3 tickets priced at $15 a piece, after fees, are $67.40!!! I understand processing fees and convenience fees, but $5.60 per ticket, plus the same price for a processing fee is just obscene. I hope the IHSAA has a better way to handle this.

Absolutely no trash talking has occurred, yet Lutheran fans choose to do it. Can't wait for you people to be out of 1A.

This is why the games are played. They absolutely have a chance. I think both favorites, at least their fans anyway, have been very dismissive this week. It's easier to be shocked, if you ignore who is in front of you. Hoping for some real excitement tonight.

As an owner of a streaming company, I still highly encourage everyone to attend the games. The streaming is for people who can't attend. Fortunately, I have been re-assured by Sheridan's AD that they have not seen a significant decline in attendance, since I started streaming around 5 years ago. The relationship between myself and the school is absolutely a collaborative one. I do believe that making the Semi-State PPV will drive more fans to the games tonight, than would have otherwise attended. So if that is the end game intent, well done.

LOL! Thanks I think? Honestly, the lack of "intro" video is due to my lack of creating one. I'd love to have a sport specific intro for every sport, but I don't have that kind of time. I've thought about hiring it out though.

All the peaks your eyes can handle.

Legitimate gripe. I'm not sure what coach was thinking, other than just trying to get to the locker room. This wasn't on the coaching. They were trying to move to a single-high safety defense, and ND came out in 5-wide. The safety never stepped up to cover the open WR, LIKE HE WAS COACHED TO DO! The first onside kick was not a given that it would happen. There was no problem in lining up like they did. The young man that jumped on the ball did exactly what he was coached to do. That trick play that you are trying to downplay here, is likely the difference in the outcome of that game. I'm not sure what personal vendetta you have against Coach Wright, but most of your posts bagging on him have not exactly been from a place of deep analysis. I'll be the first one to criticize the play-calling, coaching, etc., because that's my job. However, outside of letting the clock run down in the 1st Half, Coach Wright didn't have very many moments of head-scratching on Friday. Both teams were incredible.

100%. The Hawks haven't gone in the shotgun a single time in 2023.

Sheridan is still very much run heavy. Coach Wright will never change that. Hopefully Semi-State against Lutheran proves to be a great game.

Last week, they were in some sort of trance the entire 1st half. On the scoreboard, the game looked close, but when you look at the stats, it tells a VERY different story. That's okay though. I have no problem with people believing that Sheridan is no good, especially going into this game.

AC vs Carroll - Sorry Carroll, but AC's State Final rematch has been in the stars all season, and the Cougars aren't enough to stop it. AC 42 - Carroll 14 Sheridan vs North Decatur - ND make them earn it, but Sheridan gets revenge narrowly. Sheridan 28 - ND 27

I tried to be impartial when I first started broadcasting. People asked why, since I obviously follow Sheridan Athletics. However, if I am blessed enough to broadcast a Semi-state matchup of Sheridan and Lutheran, I will make every effort to be as impartial as possible. I respect the teams and players.

What exactly are you trying to imply here? That the Sheridan police actually do their jobs? Or that they target people from out of town?

You just keep thinking that.
