Now this is true, but that's not what you originally said.
True heat acclimation takes longer than 96-120 hours.
Or perhaps you made an assumption to what I typed aside from the definition.

CYO Field was grass at the beginning of the season, but not much was left at the end of the season. With Cathedral, Scecina and Sacred Heart all playing home games on that field, and Cadet football on Sundays, it got used up pretty badly. Varsity games were played on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in those days.
Field Turf is not as hot as the original Astro-Turf and some of the artificial "grass" that was on fields in the early days. Field Turf is quite "grasslike" nowadays in fact.
A prize for who can spot @PHJIrish (only kidding).

That’s not how it works…
If you say so. I would say acclimating to the high temperatures by staying well hydrated all week (especially all day Thursday and early Friday) and conditioning. Versus having cooler temperatures all week and hitting high humidity on Friday that you haven't prepared for. Then again what do I know, I am just typing a message on a message board.

Games this even on paper may come down to conditioning, playing in this heat.....
46 minutes ago, IrishFan1997 said:Conditioning def will play a heavy roll, and which team can run the ball effectively on 1st & 2nd down...I think this game also sets the tone for confidence playing down the road
On a positive note should be pretty warm all week during practice to get acclimated to the heat.

@Coach Nowlin I am betting the O-line Coach has a big tab on victory meals. Could you imagine taking them to s steak house!

Possible, but doubtful. Teams like Brownsburg, Cathedral, Center Grove, and HSE will have something to say about that. When was the last time a team from Indy was head and shoulders above everyone else?
I think we will know more about Cathedral and Brownsburg after this week. We have a good idea on Ben Davis and Center Grove (I do NOT think BD is head and shoulders above CG). I think there were glaring differences in the opponents BD and CG played (St. Ed's was very talented, Moeller was not terrible but didn't look to be on St. Ed's level I think Springfield looked to be Ohio Div 1 #2). As for Cathedral (played Lafayette Jeff) and Brownsburg (played FW Dwenger), both will find out more about there team this week against much better competition.
Of course what we see in week 1 and 2 from all 4 (Ben Davis, Cathedral, Center Grove, Brownsburg) will be a lot different than what we see in Week 9.

If Moeller really is #2 in Ohio, just hand the trophy to St. Ed’s now…
IMHO Springfield is the #2 in Div 1 Ohio. Cincinnati Moeller should cruise to a victory against FW Dwenger next week, but the Crusaders game against East Central should be pretty good.

Do you think Warren "thought" this was a cake walk game, show up and we win? Just wondering why I was hearing so much about how good this years team was. Again, maybe it is the first game of the season and a bit rusty??
I hadn't read anywhere that this years Warren Central team would be very good. I have read that Ben Davis should be pretty solid, and after last nights game against Moeller Ben Davis should be definitely considered a title contender. That being said still a huge win for the Snider Panthers. The future looks bright for FW Snider.

Correct. But you and I both know that teams like Ben Davis and Warren Central rely heavily on speed, whereas Penn always relied on strength and mechanics. I'd want to slow them down by any means possible. If Penn played one of those schools on a neutral field, and the Penn coach had the opportunity to pick turf or grass, 100/100 coaches would pick grass.
Ben Davis and Warren Central during the years they won State were very fast. Their speed however was not their only thing relied on as mentioned. They also had an abundance of strength and yes even mechanics. Example Warren Central's Darren Evans was fast, but his pure strength showed in every game he played in. Warren Central also ran to perfection using "mechanics" their triple option Wing T under coach Wright and Coach Tutsie. I in no way feel that speed was heavily relied on more than any other aspect. As a matter of fact I would argue that their mechanics and strength provided opportunities to showcase their speed. They were not just running sweeps and beating people with speed on the outside, they would run it right up your throat.
I am sure the coaches would pick grass. In all honesty in those years, the result would have been identical if it were on grass, dirt, or turf. If the feeling is grass slows down the faster team, it also slows down the slower team so it is a wash.
17 minutes ago, temptation said:By no means do I believe BD can win this contest and I am not sure Moeller looked like the #2 team Ohio last night but Ben Davis made a HUGE statement and might find themselves in the nationwide top 100 sooner rather than later…
I believe there is a way Ben Davis can, but that doesn't mean they will. Even with all the hoopla about IMG and their band of All Stars. They can look great at times, but they also can look terrible at times. Not terrible from an athletic or talent point of view, but terrible in 11 players on the field going rogue and doing their own thing to try and get the highlight rather than playing as a team. Sometimes it bites them in the rear and sometimes the raw talent overcomes the lack of discipline. Most likely Ben Davis will lose this game, but If they catch IMG in their individual showboat moments and make it a game (getting them frustrated) they possibly could steal a victory. I don't foresee that happening, but anything is possible.

God willing, CG & Carmel play Thanksgiving weekend at Lucas Oil.
Edit: That's what I want to happen. I never was very good at following rules.

What we saw last year from Whiteland was just the beginning?
Whiteland has been on the cusp for a little bit. There were a few years they have been better than solid but ran into Cathedral or Columbus East and just couldn't quite get over that hump. Like Coach Moore at Center Grove, Coach Fisher at Whiteland has built Whiteland from the ground up using a similar blueprint.

I wish there was a venue in Indiana that would look at a weekend and bring in some top teams. I am not sure if you could do this but think if ND hosted 2-3-2 games on Fri- Sat- Sun bringing in teams from all over to play teams in the country that play allover. Like the used to in Cincinnati
Unfortunately the NCAA has gotten in the way of what they use to do at University of Cincinnati with the Herbstreit Classic. Ohio still hosts games with out of state opponents but they will do it at a venue like Massillon and McKinley.

In case you’d like to know a little bit about CG’s opponent.
I have met Coach Lombardo on 2 occasions. Great football coach, even better man. Enjoyed my conversations with him.

Ben Davis is playing the national team.

I would expect Penn and Snider to be flipped. I do remember Snider being ranked #14 nationally, think that was back in the 80's?? or early 90's?? Luers could make a case, but being 2A may be the issue
Snider just barely surpassed Penn (this is from 2003 to present). Snider got a rating of 42.9 and Pen 42 even.

I have to admit I find this apparently above my lowly math skills as someone who’s basic background is a legal one and have somehow stumbled my way through 30 years of commercial real estate lease and investment analysis (and I will skirt around the whole Chatard/Reitz thing per above) but…………Pike?
Pike?
Am I on the hoops page?
Yeah, regardless if Pike won one State Championship and floundered into a Top 100 across the USA (97th just barely) The definition of a dynasty is not 1 State Championship over 14 years, I would better coin them as a (Cinderella or One Hit Wonder).
Here is a better depiction for Indiana Dynasty's (2003-present) via Calpreps.

I've beaten this drum for a number of years on the GID - but with the demands of instruction and curriculum, the days of the "classroom coach" (talking Head Coach) is becoming more and more rare.
PE, advanced PE, strength, "director of sports performance" (this was a new one to me!), etc...seem to be the Head guy's role anymore.
Not saying right/wrong/indifferent - just observations.
I think it might have to do with what the specific coach has a degree in to get this title. If he has something in Sports Medicine and Sports Nutrition. I don't know this as fact though. It is very possible that Coach Hart does not only have a teaching degree in Advanced Physical Education but also in Sports medicine and Nutrition (or even add in Kinesiology). Likely some extra things you would see College strength Coaches have (like Coach David Ballou formerly of Avion, IU, Notre Dame, and now Alabama)

That is not the point of my inquiry, but nice try at deflection.
Ask a stupid question (inquiry) get a stupid answer I guess, there was no deflection I answered your question. Most schools are going to have a Advanced Physical Education teacher no matter if you agree or not. This one actually has a title for APE, Sports medicine, sports nutrition, and mental health so you take care of 4 positions with 1 hire.

Not to worry I doubt he will crack the top 50 in pay of M.S.D. Washington Township schools maybe top 75.

This isn't even accounting for the QB from Reitz who got hurt and missed several games, or the fact Castle played two different QBs. Who knows how their stats would have been affected had they played an entire season, instead of splitting reps.
Inconsequential really. In my opinion this award is going to Bowen, the only person I felt had a legit battle with Bowen was Hansen from Roncalli. You have to win the position award to be in the running. Hansen didn't win the position award so he is not eligible. Coyle great kid had a great season very fortunate to get the position award, but this one is Bowen's award hands down.

Congrats to Coach Hart.
"Hart will also fill the director of sports performance position at North Central."
Always of interest to me when a HC is hired, what position (if any) he will fill within the school corporation.
Can someone explain to me what the above position is?? Assuming "director of sports performance" is like a strength coach?
Director of sports performance is to direct and assist in the development of performance enhancement programs for designated sports. Areas of performance enhancement include strength and conditioning, sports medicine, sports nutrition and mental health.
Very similar to a Strength Coach but maybe a few more responsibilities.

Temperature for Week 2 Games
in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Posted
It was a CYO jamboree photo. It is called Kuntz Memorial Stadium now and hosts soccer. My father always tells me the grass there is a little greener, but its current state will never surpass his memories of the old CYO Field.
