The ones that come to mind from 2020 were Luers and Andrean. Makes a big difference when you have 15 kids playing nearly every snap for all three phases and you see Luers swapping out~7-8 kids as they go from offense to defense in semi state.

I've posed this question elsewhere, but is Pioneer really even in 1A? They won a regional in 2020 which would keep us in 2A unless I missed a different rule posting than what was originally released. Between 1A and 2A just line us up and we'll play whoever. Our biggest issue at the 2A level is simply depth. Big difference going against teams with 40-60 kids on the roster compared to us only having 20-30 kids JV-Varsity.

💯 ( I think this is how the kids use this )

You are correct, we were 2A when this initially came out. This has to be some kind of system error/ typo.

Pioneer is looking to fill multiple coaching positions available at the high school and Jr High level. For the high school we are looking for a JV Head Coach/varsity assistant. Pioneer currently has multiple teaching positions at the high school and elementary level: High School Openings: Math, Chemistry, Biology, Special Education and Guidance Counselor Elementary Openings: Two Positions (Grade TBD) Link to Job postings below https://www.applitrack.com/wabash/onlineapp/jobpostings/view.asp?district=1371&all=1 Please reach out to Varsity Head Coach Adam Berry at berrya@pioneer.k12.in.us

My biggest complaint with the setup for the scrimmages is the player pitch counts. Coming from 1A enrollment Pioneer we have to drastically scale back the outlined plays generally so that we can meet the rules of the scrimmage generally having to play JV kids that simply aren't ready to play against varsity kids. Crazy to me considering that one week later these kids that were limited plays for "safety" will be allowed to go out and play all three phases week 1.

This is the most apt phrase I've ever heard to describe Pioneer's football field. When we played North Judson week 9 we lost a couple of Freshmen in the divots 😂

One would think that counting enrollments, posting said enrollments in an orderly fashion and creating sectional brackets that make sense would be easy as well but the IHSAA seems to have missed the memo...

I can't see them adjusting sectionals mid cycle even for three teams. They should have just wiped the SF slate clean for all teams and moved forward until next cycle.

So if I'm reading this correctly, success factor points will be based on 2020 and 2021 football seasons. So teams that were already bumped up after 2020 cycle get the same points tacked on a second time? That hardly seems fair in the scope of things.

Pioneer is in the same boat.

Ditto for Pioneer...

Any update from last week's meeting/ any idea when the minutes will be posted on the IHSAA site?

In general, we teach our guys in coverage to be physical with the receivers early on in the game to try and gauge how flexible the crew will be. If crews are more "let them play" we will stay physical/ keep getting hands on the receivers, if they are more strict we will pull our guys back. I always tell the kids the first PI call is on me and I will never get on our backers for checking receivers that cross their faces. As for blown coverages on deep balls take the PI over a TD every time.

KEEP RUNNING TOSS SWEEP

I wasn’t taking anything away from AC. They dominated every facet of the game. I will however not back down in saying that it was absolute horse crap effort by Judson. Extremely disappointing effort from a team that prides itself on its toughness and attitude.

I watched online and as early as AC’s first and second possession the Jays defense had 10-11 guys jogging. Pretty weak effort for a team playing for a semi-state. Congrats to AC on a great game.

I believe this is what the kids call the " Trick or Treat" return.

Judson-I think Judson smacks Carroll and gets ready for AC next week. 59ers- If Laville comes out mentally prepared for Andrean like they did for Pioneer they can beat them, but if they come in flat after an emotional win last week it could be a long night. LaVille cannot get drawn into Andrean's game plan. They need to slow the game down and control the clock.

3 Point Games North Judson @ Carroll Lutheran @ Parke Heritage Tri @ North Central LaVille @ Andrean Eastbrook @ Eastside Scecina @ Lafayette Central Catholic Tri-West @ Owen Valley Mississinewa @ Northridge New Prairie @ Lowell Valparaiso @ Michigan City

I think AC will win this, but I think it will be closer than what you think. AC has only played 3-4 teams with winning records this year. Panthers Hanover Judson by 2-3 scores, but only if they dont come in with Winamac hangover. If they let Culver get rolling it could be tighter.
