Week 3: 9/5 Mater Dei vs Laville at Southport in a neutral game matchup. SIAC non-conference games are officially set.

Some stadium updates, new turf being installed at Harrison this summer (old one is already gone) and new lights at Reitz is being discussed or worked on.

Summer practices officially started today, just a couple more months until Week 1!

It appears I can’t figure it out either because I forgot about the conference being an odd number when I typed that……time for some better reading glasses.

Guessing they will switch to that in 2028 once the 2-year deals are done. Jasper did jump ahead and schedule Columbus North quickly, so that could’ve caused the issue. But I do wonder why they didn’t make everything Week 1.

I think they have them scheduled for 2028, home and home series.

Still nothing regarding Mater Dei’s non-conference game being scheduled, but according to C&P a game is in the works. Wonder who they are talking too.

Calpreps had returning production, but I believe that site closed down.

I was a bit surprised on the alignments, I was expecting Washington to slide into S32. However, the visual does make sense with the North/South separation between the sectionals. Assuming that was the direction the Committee was going for.
