  1. Looking at the map, I would have put Caston and Pioneer in 42, and moved Clinton Prairie and Carroll to 43. Also, would have put North Miami in 44, and moved Southwood to 43. The only reason I can see for NOT doing this is that 6 teams of the 8 would be from the same conference. But let's be honest, how fun would it be to see Bud Wright against Sheridan for a Sectional title?
  2. Yeah. The Sectionals in 1A seem to be a little head-scratching. Why would the Clintons be split up, and Sheridan possibly be going to Pioneer, when Carroll is between both schools?
  3. 1) Difference between tax rate and taxes owed is important when assessing anything that deals with government. 2) Of course you don't get a "vote" on every issue that the School Board handles. You know why? Because we have a representative republic. Not a true democracy. 3) Do you take issue when other government entities, I.e. libraries, use this same "loophole" to make building improvements? Using bonds to make high dollar improvements with minimal impact to the taxpayer is a responsible way to not let buildings become decrepit. All of this being said, as an elected official, I was against renewing a library bond in Sheridan in 2025, because I wasn't satisfied with the scale of work, for the dollar amount of the bond. It still passed, but I only say this to point out that I at least have "some" experience in this issue. Ultimately, if you want to have an actual vote on whether something like this happens in the future, put your name on a ballot, and join the conversation.
  4. Enrollments were announced on the 2nd Monday of February in 2024. Classifications were released on April 2nd. Sectional Assignments were released on April 30th.
  5. Sheridan football hasn't been the same since they left the Hoosier. Sure, they don't walk over EVERYONE in the conference, but almost every year, we know that the only really competitive games are going to be against Carroll and Eastern, the last two games of the season. In my opinion, the conference does a terrible job of preparing the Hawks for the postseason, because they spend the majority of the season boosting their egos by beating bad teams. I'd much rather Tipton join the HHC than Frankfort. Or heck, the Hawks moving back to the Hooser, albeit some of those bus rides were downright stupid.
  6. I've been lobbying hard for Sheridan to leave the Hoosier Heartland. This move would be enough for me to demand it.
  7. This is my biggest issue with the coaches. Why in God's name are you kneeling when they have timeouts, and there is no possible way for you to run out the clock?
  8. Is it not possible that both could be true? NFL players collide A LOT harder and faster than high school players. I could believe that they would cut down on concussions in the NFL, while having very little effect in the high school ranks.
  9. Does anyone know of a website that tracks Indiana High School basketball season records going back further than John Harrell's? For football, there is the Indiana Football Almanac site, but I haven't been able to find any site for basketball like this.
  10. So, in this situation, the defensive players choice is either grab the runner's jersey and get called for a foul, or just let the guy score? In my opinion, this is a poorly written rule. Pulling on the jersey should not be a foul, again, in my opinion.
  11. Yep. Nobody is happy with how that went down. Still a chance that both South Putnam and Providence move up next year.
  12. So if a defender only has the back of a player's jersey while tackling, that's an automatic horse-collar?
  13. As a Sheridan person, it would certainly be an awkward situation. It would be like a movie, though. The town would finally have its chance to say "thank you" and "goodbye" to Coach Wright.
  14. I would love to see the universities in Indiana host Semi-State competitions. I just think it would be fantastic to see some high school basketball played at Purdue, IU, etc. The same thing could be done for football. Obviously, you aren't going to sell out a D1 college stadium, but it would be a fantastic stage for these kids. **This is a dream of mine. I have no idea of the actual feasibility of this idea.**
  15. I will forever agree with this. As long as the tournament remains "random draw", efforts should be made to neutralize any homefield advantage.
  16. He'd likely be ranked higher, but you also have to wonder if he'd have the success that he has had. Not very many teams in 5A and 6A would likely do very well running a direct snap offense. I'm not taking anything away from Myles, but his career would likely look different if at a bigger program. This is why it's so hard to compare athletes across different classes.
  17. I just went back and watched it. #10 flicks it to his teammate and it is definitely caught a yard or two forward. Feel awful for Alexandria for that to be missed. That's football though. Officials miss calls sometimes..
  18. Seeding the Sectionals just makes sense.
  19. Sheridan has the years of every football state title painted on a water tower. Forever is the answer to this question.
  20. Was the running clock to cut down on scoring spread, or just to let people go home earlier? Generally, once teams get the running clock, they sub out their starters anyway.
  21. Channel 4 in some areas is also Channel 29 in others around the state. For instance, Sheridan doesn't have Channel 4, but it actually is. Channel 4 is just found on Channel 29 when using an antenna.
  22. No one knows what to expect out of Sheridan. When your program has been led by the same mind for almost 60 years, everyone is naturally skeptical. Ironically, the team that same coach is now an assistant at, is ranked 10th.
  23. Does anyone on here have a clue where Greenwood Christian Academy will be playing their home football games this year? Trying to plan out the season for Sheridan football broadcasts, and not even the AD was sure when I asked her a few weeks ago.
