  1. Had already read it. From what I remember you only get 4 free articles so I better save1 for the post-game seems like I went tobtheir site to read a columbus east post-game so I'm unsure if I even have 1 left
  2. I as well am a digital subscriber, usually only during football season. But I find myself disappointed every time I subscribe. Sometimes I find it more tolerable to look up the Twitter accounts of the sportswriters In the towns of the teams that bhss plays against or listen to the radio broadcasts of radio stations on those towns ( Sam simmermacker out of Columbus is a hall of famer ) . At any rate if you click on Sports on the ht you'll them see another tab where you can select high school . Scroll down and you'll find this article https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/sports/2021/09/29/bloomington-north-football-takes-roncalli-challenge/5880493001/ . Then scroll down farther and there isn't a bhss cn write up . The individual player write ups are pretty fair most years . However the game capsules are every week for all local teams . But again No such write up for the ci title game .....
  3. I have not been to a cn or bhss game this season. Coach Johnson is only in 2nd season at bhss and the 1st one was the covid year . So things being as they are I will have to give cn the nod until bhss proves otherwise. 24 - 13 cn , South can't afford to blunder the football away on offense cn is coming off a shut out of thn which is a better team than most probably know.
  4. You clearly didn't read my comment In which I said there have been numerous articles or lack of during the last 10 -15 years. Obviously we don't agree ..... no biggie . It's always been a bunch of north fans or parents or whomever that make that same argument that south gets more press which hasn't been the case for quite some time and they know it too and it has become overkill sort of in their attempt to try and keep up with the Panthers I guess. Sorta like when they stacked the school board years ago to get souths districts . And the press does stoopid stuff like they did this week in ignoring the glaring CI title game and does a lengthy write up for the north roncalli game which most likely will be over after the 1st half.
  5. Your comment may have been accurate 15 or more years ago but isn't the case now. But this week is a perfect example the press has a write up on the bhsn roncalli game , as I said crickets for the two undefeated ci teams playing for the title in the same conference bhsn is in. There have been numerous occasions in the last decade that these types of things happen in our local media. I recall the indy star doing a write up on bhss a few years back and thinking that's about the only fair account the Panthers r gonna get. Either way the better teams usually draw more press that has even been admitted by the local media .... but crickets for the ci title week..... oh well ...
  6. Well here we go ready or not. Pretty quiet for being the title game week for CI. Our lovely bloomington newspaper did a writeup on the bloomington north roncalli game , crickets for the bhss cn game i guess..... that's modern bloomington for ya anyways. North gets most of the media support IMO. Is anyone aware of online streaming of this one?
  7. Used to be some cn fans around? One named merlin possibly?. What do The bulldogs feature this year? Good passing attack run the ball well?
  8. Man I think the d will perform but if south's o has anything like the 3 turnovers they had in the 2nd half vs Southport it will be smooth sailing for cn to get the W, that's just the facts . I'm just not used to Gabe Johnson yet. I like him and I think he's doing it his way and that is good to see . I just followed coach mo for 25+ years and knew what to expect. Gabe is 6-0 and I'm not complaining one bit. The qb coach left south for north a year ago and I feel like our qb needs to open it up a bit . He has a lot of good options to choose from. 2 te's in smith and Bailey then Hallett, fox , and griffin , and black and at wr maybe even another wr I'm forgetting but seems like they all can scoot and have made big plays this season so far. Had hoped to see them open things up a bit more by now radio guys mentioned that once or twice during last Friday's broadcast. So we wait and see Friday what they draw up this week. .
  9. Sagarin has bhss winning at cn 28-24. If there were any game like to attend each season it is the bhss cn or bhss martinsville . Bhss has played cn most years since the 1930s. Game should be "lit" as the younger generation would say . Too bad I can't make it.... any cn fans here? Used to be a few lurking around .
  10. Well outcomes tonight probably what most expected. Sets up the conference title game next Friday at Columbus north. I remember the same scenario a handful.of years back when moriarity was still coach at south. South with their defense are real tough , the offense at times probably could use some fine tuning . Columbus seems like a legit squad again. If south produces 3 turnovers vs cn next Friday likened did tonight vs Southport then cn should come away with the title. Hard to believe the conference is all but in the books . Goes fast
  11. I remember a couple handful of years ago someone on the Gid said perry had the large amount of foreign students. Why is there such a large portion of those students in that area?
  12. Way to early for sectional threads . But it always seem to come fast . Castle is the reigning champ 🏆 and has another good team this year . So I give them the nod until someone knocks them off. Last year bhss had 7 starters held out for covid and lost 28 to 0 at castle. Bhsn has lost 2 years straight to castle . E north ..... hmm I think they are quality but probably the last team anyone would pick To win this sectional. It's a toss up between bhsn castle and bhss in my opinion at this point In season. I haven't seen the progression I wanted to see from bhss so I look at it like an even field.
  13. Yeah two doozies remain on our schedule and two roll over games. I wouldnt mind losing a game or two if it meant getting better. Chatard is 1-4 probably the best 1-4 team in the Midwest. Strange how indy cathedral is also playing hammond Morton and columbus north. Two of souths opponents. Would be fun to meet cathedral for another classic semistate game like 2014 . Wonderwhy Southport fell off so bad coaching change?
  14. Sure, but as ths has improved bhss has not improved in my opinion. That's what it will take to get out of the sectional and regional. At this point the sectional is still a toss up and in fact maybe we should say it's castles until someone else proves otherwise . They are the reigning champ..... im mildly disappointed in the get better aspect we usually saw with coach mo's teams. Again Gabe is solid but not like mo. Panther fans were spoiled during the noriarity era's.
  15. The penalties and red zone lack of td's vs. an 0-5 team just had me scratching my head. The games ahead vs cn and chatard look more uncertain now. I thought this year would be a opportunity to finally play chatard and maybe get a w. As well with cn seems like the bulldogs have gotten the better of bhss for a handful of seasons now. We're seeing Gabe Johnson also , he is not a carbon copy of coach mo. I like him as a coach but he is replacing that Hall of famer not many will be as good. He still could I mean he is 5-0 credit where it's due. Not sure these kids are thinking get better each week. Don't see the improvement .
  16. Well CI outcome of the week may be the columbus north cathedral matchup. I don't know the whole story but the score seems to be a lot closer than most expected. Bhss with a lackluster looking final score but doesn't always mean a whole lot . Don't know the whole story on that game either. But I would have thought the panther offense would generate a few more points. Bhsn qb got hurt but back up played well lifting them to a w. I think I may have to take back all the talk I talked on bhss . I think they may be a tad overrated.
  17. I shouldn't follow the dictionary it always gets me in trouble.... child /CHīld/ Learn to pronounce noun plural noun: children a young human being below the age of puberty or below the legal age of majority
  18. High school children? Where never met a high school child.
  19. @ptr I think roncalli is #1 in 3 or 4a this year . And Gibson southern is also a highly ranked team. CN may possibly be similar in strength to THN. Should be interesting to see how the rest of the conference season shakes out. Really would like to see the Panthers start to focus on improving for the playoffs. Not sure it is happening with the silly perspnaly fouls they keep getting each and every week. Coach Johnson going to have to develop that aspect of his coaching repertoire and get that corrected along with other aspects where you want to get better at. Chatard is also highly rated so south has their work cut out for them .
  20. And they should be the favorite to win ci. I don't mean to slight bhsn I feel that bhss was the team being slighted. Bhsn is a very dangerous team as well as castle is in that southern 5a sectional. Any of those teams that work the hardest to improve down the stretch will win that sectional. As for CI cn will be the last threat to knock-off the Panthers and force a tie for the title. Unless they have a total.breakdown and lose to ths or Southport. Yet to be seen but in my opinion the conference and at least regional title is bhss' to lose at this point in the season.
  21. As far as cn playing big boy football it may be true but the last time they got out of the big boy sectional was . . . .. was ... was it ever? I think the last time they beat center Grove was prior to the 5a split to 2 classes????
  22. Sorry to keep on with my interpretation , but im bored .got the grass cut headed to the high end butcher on the east side to pick up a steak then headed to hike somewhere and then grill that steak probably on the beach at monroe lake somewhere later on . But I enjoy talking sports . I'm of the philosophy that the best team wins every single time. South beat North last year not because of an error because had norths defense or kicking game been better they would not have had a breakdown in the secondary or lost an on sides kick . You may say the ball bounced perfectly for the Panthers on the onside kick well then give the kicker credit or the kickoff team credit for being where they needed to be to recover. And North didn't do that .... anyways man have a good weekend . And I would not be surprised if castle or bhsn won the sectional this year . If coach mo was still at south i would feel more comfortable picking south to win it but Gabe Johnson has less than a handful of years of head coach experience so he will have to prove it before I am convinced.
  23. @southendyou do realize the year bhsn beat south in regular season who won the sectional that both castle south and North play in don't you? Yep it was south same thing happened the year before with martinsville south beat them in sectional finale after losing to them reg season. A moriarity philosophy work out the kinks in reg season even if you lose to a rival then be best when tourney comes. At any rate , I felt like the local media gushes over the north qb and rb. I heard how special they were last night during the radio broadcast . Neither of the radio guys talked about how special dasan mccoullough was ( a former osu committ top of the world of college football recruits. ) until late in the game when mccoulloug treated lonzano like a red headed step child on the field he finally got some praise from the radio 📻. Isu a offer from isu it is what it is . Lonzano is better than probably 75-80% of the starting qbs in the state. Which is pretty good.
  24. You are correct however that bloomington south team had 7 starters held out w/covid.... that's 33% of your best players... The year before castle also beat North at North then south went to castle the sectional title game and won by 3 or 4 tds.
  25. Looking back over the last three seasons i was never extremely impressed with bhsn and Lonzano their qb or their rb. Give them their due sure but they are the same guys who lost to castle at home in the sectional and I just never thought they were as good as they are advertised. Not a slight to them because they certainly have skills or they wouldn't be 3-1 . They may have been holding off tonight and looking towards a bigger goal winning the sectional which they may in fact do. South is underachieving i feel like and needs to really work on getting better or i dont think they make it out of sectional, most talented team in the sectional but they just don't seem to me like they are as sound in the emotional mental parts of the game . Castle is real good too this year. Not sure why you guys picked bhsn to win this one , mccoulough Brothers and a lot of kids who played under coach mo and now Gabe Johnson who may turn out to be another great coach. Again not promising south wins sectional but talent wise on paper I think they should . Columbus north hammered by Roncalli.
