Covid unfortunately.

Pioneer is looking for a week 1 opponent for this Friday. Please reach out to coach Adam Berry at berrya@pioneer.k12.in.us

LaVille at Bremen- LaVille- curious to see how LaVille is without several of their mainstays from the last few years at the skill positions. Lewis Cass at Pioneer- Pioneer- Lewis Cass will be improved over last year in a game that will help the Panthers find their identity before the take on Winamac next week. NJSP at Culver Community- Judson- Blue Jays have a lot to replace, but a steady dose of tailback Allen should put them on top. West Central at Caston- Caston- Comets improve this year as they go into year 2 under the new regime. Winamac at Knox- Winamac- In a week one game that could have major implications in who is the conference champ, I see the Warriors coming out on top. Winamac is the preseason favorite to win conference and will be well coached and prepared for every game. It looked like the redskins quit on Coach Radtke in his first year at the helm, and if they still haven't bought in to his coaching this could be a long night for Knox.

2 Point Game Benton Central @ Delphi Central Catholic @ Tri-West Lafayette Jeff @ West Lafayette Cass @ Pioneer Monroe Central @ Hamilton Heights Northwestern @ Twin Lakes Tipton @ Frankfort Western @ Kokomo Attica @ Riverton Parke Frankfort @ Clinton Central Winamac @ Knox 3 Point Game Kankakee Valley @ Rensselaer

Yeah its super awesome when harvest comes around and you are screaming at players because they cant hear you as the combine makes another lap...

I think the nod has to go to Andrean as the 2A team to beat. I think that Andrean would be better prepared to face Luers' spread passing attack than what they faced against Pioneer running a traditional Wing-t that they don't face in the course of the regular season.

Both Lewellens graduated as well as several other two way players.

Pioneer is way to high. We lost a ton to graduation last year and until these new guys prove themselves we shouldn't even be considered as a top team.

LCC is 2A.

Adams Central has one of the nicest grass fields regardless of class (do 4a and above have grass anymore??) in the state. We played there in the 2016 1A Semistate and after 14 weeks of games it was still beautiful. I would take a nice grass field over turf any day.

I apologize if I missed this elsewhere, but is this just a one year alignment until a full enrollment can be performed? Looks to me like LCC just replaced Webo who also bumped up a class and everything else stayed pat. Pretty simple solution for a 1 year deal if its the case.

Just saw that Pioneer picked up the newly formed 5A Hammond Central for week 5. I was getting nervous they wouldn't find anyone, but this will be a great matchup to prepare them for the 2A tournament.

Could be worse... you could be the Logansport Berries and have Felix the cat be your mascot.

Pretty crazy that Pioneer/LCC go from being in the same sectional/regional for years to being on different halves of the bracket...

Not to argue, but his current situation seems to be working well enough.

Just a general observation from my local area, but we are seeing a trend of more females going into teaching than males with more open positions being filled by women than men. For Pioneer, only head coach Adam Berry works full time at the school while the rest of the staff work elsewhere.

I would like to see all field sidelines marked with a designated referees lane, designated coaches lane and a lane for all players to stand behind.

For football, these boys have been running the same offense since third grade. We have had consistency in coaching from youth on up generally seeing the most turnover at the junior high level. These young men go in with the mindset that they are going to step up and win every single game they play in no matter the opponent. Another cool tidbit, every coach on the high school staff except for one is a former Panther. In short consistency in coaching, scheme and high player expectations are the secret.

We’ve been pumping HGH and roids into the water for years. Isn’t that common practice???

You have provided nothing of value to this conversation other than saying it should be moved to the OOB. Thank you for being so vigilant in policing the site and protecting us from non thread relevant dangers.

Back to the volleyball comment mentioned above. Since the IHSAA does not have organized men's volleyball can men join the volleyball team? Women can play football but for most other sports there is a gendered split (basketball, golf, etc.)

But that's the point you don't have to do that now. Every school pays a mint to HUDL to avoid what you described and it is beneficial to all involved to submit useable film. That's like older generations making fun of kids for not knowing how to operate a rotary phone. Technology advancements make it so that you don't need to.

No one wants to break down film off of a broadcast though. Then you have to sort through and sit through all of the crap in between plays.

I tend to agree, but in all the time I've never seen another team share endzone film. While I'm complaining, I'd also like to see teams update stats on maxpreps.

I would love to see all HNAC teams submit to a pool. Only sideline no end zone. I’d also like to see schools using a competent camera person and camera. These tablet uploads we get are terrible.
