Welcome back! Just wanted to hop on to say that! I got a good chuckle off the educate comment. Likens itself to James Jones and The Peoples Temple, about the same kind of educating going on. At any rate you would think someone adamant about a 2.0 multiplier would at least be able to name all of the P/P they are looking to apply it to (they are not all named), and also possibly add in Charter schools. At any rate I'll go back into hiatus so I am no longer deemed abusive. Good day sir take care of yourself.

But it looks funnier when @Donnie Bakertypes it!! Now if we can just get Randy on here too! Its State Law!

One Karen calling another a Karen is pretty comical. I know and you’re welcome for your support Karen so don’t bother to offer the thanks.

Who says the community knows best? There are some that have no kids in the school system that may want to pull the plug, then others with children playing football aka extracurriculars that feel its impacting their children's life. So do you let out of touch members decide the fate which will impact those in touch. Might I ask have you had children in the Frankfort school system? Someone who is impacted by decisions yu want to make. Like I said it's easy for someone who has no child playing to say cut the program. I am wagering you don't have a child playing. But you continue on with your BS contraction talk.

No they shouldn't pull the plug. If the proper staff is in place they won't have the problem with the work ethic. Basically some coaching staffs may think they are instilling it, but it falls on deaf ears. once there is total buy in things can change in a heart beat. Contraction does nothing but rip away from something that can shape lives in more ways than just winning and losing. This is exactly why I say your and DT's talks of contraction come solely from looking at win/loss records and not from an insider view of what is going on within the program. Playing football can be a difference maker in a kids life. what should happen is a re-evaluation of the Coach leading he team by the community and the staff.

FYI "Work Ethic" applies to football in general. Not Just Indiana Football. In other words if you aren"t doing the work in the weight room, Film study, Game prep. You aren't going to be successful. It takes total buy in and some work! Even at the Collegiate and pro level those are important aspects.

No personal attack just stating the obvious. Anyone (yourself or DT that is onboard with contraction) makes it blatantly obvious that your not onboard or of the understanding of the dynamics of coaching football. AKA how games are won and lost (and its not only on the football field). It all starts on te dedication in the weight room and toss in game film. Then on top of that you have the game prep plan. I'm assuming your saying you"ll be working the games? There is nothing to win, but you call yourself a victor if you wish.

Uh there is no support. Perhaps Coach Byers is instilling work ethic in the players (something I wouldn't expect you to be onboard with).

Your conraction talk is nothing but a bunch of "BS". There will be down times at certain schools. Get the right coach that knows what he is doing and develops talent and things can turn around in a heart beat (prime example Mooresville post Coach Bless had a rough go bring in Coach Gillin and it all changes). Never cheat young men the opportunities in life development football can provide!

I agree congrats to Farnkfort. At the same time I say shame on YOU and your fellow cohort @DT for the contraction talks. There are going to be times where schools are really in the dumps. Get the right coach who developes talent and boom you start to make strides. Contraction is for IDIOTS (my opinion). Honestly you both should be ashamed of yourselves for wanting to cheat young men (regardless of record) the opportunity to play a game that could shape their lives. It's easy to sit back behind a keyboard and the critical stuff, but you are not there living the day to day lives. Just saying.

To be honest neither team gift wrapped anything to the other. Both teams made great plays. No matter how many yards of offense for either team they both simply made plays. The pick 6 wasn't a walk in the park free shot to the endzone like you sometimes see when a team is backed up near the goal line. It was a 73 yard pick 6. Honestly CG had an opportunity to tie it and missed a FG. Then Cathedral had an opportunity to ice the game and didn't execute (regardless of the play call) and CG made a play. Then again Cathedral had CG in 3rd and 9 or 10 with about 36 seconds and again CG made a play hitting a 12 yard pass. I believe Cathedral got them in a 3rd and 1 too on the eventual TD pass (memory is faded I'm old). Regardless both teams played well enough to win. CG made the plays when it counted an won. Both are fantastic teams and gave it all they had (even though some thought they would be saving themselves for the playoffs). It was a classic hard hitting game. It lived up to the hype and while some thought there would be a lot of scoring it ended up being a Defensive slug fest. Cathedral 1 Offensive TD 1 Defensive TD, CG 2 Offensive TD's 1 FG.

It is what it is. The Head Coach took responsibility and blame for it. Probably wished he had given it to Langdon. Curry DL for CG said in Indystar article he knew either Jordan or Langdon would get the ball. Myself I probably would have ran a play action TE dump pass (I know crazy) but the CG defense was in all out blitz expecting run. Even though others feel differently, punting wasn’t an option to me. Punting had not gone well throughout the night.

What proof do you have that grass field creates more injuries? Actually there is more data that turf fields lead to more knee (ACL MCL) injuries. Nothing wrong with grass field> Turf dogs has done a great job maintaining Arlington's field after doing a lot of work to it.

Just read on Twitter when Kyle Neddenriep asked Coach Peebles about the 4th and 1 call said he’s go for it again but maybe a different call Langdon has been running hard, getting yards. “This one’s in me”. punting definitely wasn’t going well. They also do a QB quick kick. I personally feel Coach Peebles has confidence in his offense and wanted to just go for it to end the game. Probably wishes he would have ran the ball with Langdon but who knows. Coach Peebles like Coach Ralph are not afraid to gamble and both love and believe in their kids. They are great coaches as is coach Moore. Terrific game though. Everyone thought it was going to be a lot of points but the defense from both teams took control. I was expecting a close game but not as low of scoring 17-13.

LT 6'5" 330 lbs LG 6'5" 300 lbs C 6'1" 260 lbs RG 6'4" 275 lbs RT 6'6" 280 lbs TE 6'3" 235 lbs TE 6'5" 215 lbs looks like a pretty big O-line to me. The Irish RB may weigh 25 lbs less than Steele, but I doubt anyone that watches that game would say he was any less of a tough RB especially in that 4th qtr. heck he’s the one that was making big runs in that drive. Most coaches with very good offenses would have went for it in 4th and 1 (including Coach Moore). In hindsight probably should have fed the ball to Langdon who was running very strong. Jordan wasn’t having the best game either. That play however has been a go to especially on goal line. I can see why it was called. It was a gamble and didn’t work this time. as far as the last drive. The Irish got CG into 3rd downs. CG’s QB and WR’s made some big plays and they won. Both of these teams are excellent. Both coaching staffs have a great pulse for their team. They have great confidence in both their offense and defense. Better than someone who has never coached or called plays at the HS level. Other than armchair QB what are your Coaching qualifications?

I get what you're saying. However Center Grove under Coach Moore has been predominantly a "Wing T" team, yes they run some spread stuff on occasion. I don't think there is much for CG or Cathedral to hide Offensively or defensively that they haven't already shown on film. Both coaches are basically this is what we run come stop me, not much fancy. Do they have some trick plays? I would say probably and they probably wouldn't use them in this game (unless they want to throw something on film to make a future opposing team prepare for). I think you will see both team do what they usually do and may the best team win. I definitely don't think either team will be saving themselves for the tournament.

In 6 season's (this year being the 7th) I have yet to see either CG or Cathedral not go all out because they were saving themselves for the playoffs. 2014 CG 44 Cathedral 28 2015 CG 7 Cathedral 0 2016 CG 44 Cathedral 41 in OT 2017 Cathedral 21 CG 14 2018 CG 34 Cathedral 7 2019 Cathedral 14 CG 9 I won't buy the statement. My personal opinion when you play saving yourself (worried about injury) is when you tend to get injuries.

Absolutely one of the best webcasts! Are they charging to watch this year? If so how much?

So your telling the @Gipper you have an affinity for prophylactics? I kid

The Irish offense is fantastic, but boy has that defense really made strides each week. LB #5 Miller is very impressive and only a JR, you don't hear much about him but watching him on film likely gets opposing coaches attention. DB Hill has been racking up some INT's too. They look to be very quick on defense.

I may be mistaken but I believe each team is allowed only 1 one hour practice in Lucas Oil during the week leading up to the State Championship game.

Actually most of them do travel on the same day. Especially if it is 5A or 6A (later game).

I will say if travel had an impact, it is probably a good thing that they played this game. If Merrillville were to make it to the State Championship they would have to travel then to. Helps that they have done the travel now and can look back on what they can improve upon to not have travel impact them as much.
