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.

The absolute easiest way, in my opinion, for those that are technologically challenged, is to buy a Fire Stick or Roku. Download the IHSAAtv app and bam. It's on your TV. Casting is simple, but your TV has to be right. Your phone has to be right. You have to know how to wireless connect them to each other, etc.

I've been using Massey Ratings a lot this season. Pretty accurate all year!

I'm not sure what you're talking about here. The individual broadcasts are just PPV. There isn't an online subscription.

NJ @ Triton - Give me NJ on the road. Should be a fun one, but I like North Judson. Park Tudor @ NV - PT easily rolls. Carroll @ Tri-Central - running clock AC @ MG - AC keeps rolling on, setting up the Game of the Year with Carroll? Sheridan @ Monroe Central - running clock ND @ Milan - Call me crazy, but I still go ND here. Lutheran @ Cov Chr - running clock (although I'm hoping for a repeat of last week's Lutheran game) SV @ Providence -Prov rolls.

While unfortunate for those that can't figure out how to view streamed content, this was a step that people should have seen coming with Bally's bankruptcy. The only thing that I've never liked about the exclusivity of broadcasting the state finals, is that it is forcing private companies or even school broadcasts out. If a school or broadcaster has been showing the entire season up to the state championship game, I'd like to see the IHSAA give those broadcasters an opportunity to do the game, ESPECIALLY if it's an educational broadcast team. Broadcasting a State Final in Lucas Oil Stadium is an experience that no student would forget.

I meant that running clock would be secured before the 2nd half. Last week, Sheridan more or less secured it in the 1st Q.

Sectional Championships: Carroll @ Tri-Central - Carroll get a running clock before 2nd half Sheridan @ Monroe Central - Sheridan earns running clock at some point in the 3rd Q. Eastern @ Bluffton - Bluffton by a TD, but like most games that are this close, surprises could happen.

Not that this has any relevance whatsoever here, but as a Town Councilman of Sheridan, the aim is to NOT become Westfield. If we were okay to become a brand new sprawling metropolis, it would be much easier to just let Westfield takeover everything. We DON'T want that.

Man, if people could hear the conversations that I and Nick Doty have during commercial breaks of Sheridan games. We both love Coach Wright, but we know that opportunities are being missed over the now 5 years that we have been broadcasting the games.

I think Sag is wrong. I'd put LCC as a TD favorite.

2nd Round of Sectionals Clinton Prairie @ North Vermillion - I've been impressed with the positive step this year from the Gophers. As just about every prediction and ranking has this as a virtual draw, I'm going to give the nod to the home team. NV by a missed XP. Tipton @ Eastern - Eastern big, but not by running clock big. West Central @ Tri-Central - West Central gets it done in Sharpsville. Caston @ Carroll - Running clock. Tindley @ Sheridan - Running clock. Clinton Central @ Park Tudor - Running clock.

PREACH! IMO, all private schools should be moved up one class from their enrollment size. I know this upsets all private school supporters and such, but you know it needs to happen. No private schools should exist in 1A, no matter the enrollment.

In 2007, Sheridan scrimmaged Kevin Wright's Warren Central. Let's just say, Sheridan didn't exactly get run off the field. Far too often we disregard small schools are something to do with talent. Like D1 vs D3. Meanwhile, we all know that class is set based off school size, having nothing to do with talent, before success factor that is.

Last time BC played Sheridan in 2020, the Dem Bizun got beat 48-6. BC would be a mid-pack HHC team. Still not of the likes of Sheridan/Eastern/Carroll. However, I'm always welcoming to new(old) opponents.

Clinton Prairie at Frankfort Eastern at Northwestern FW Blackhawk at Taylor North Miami at Sheridan Riverton Parke at Carroll Tri Central at Wes Del Twin Lakes at Delphi Season: 6-2
