Im just hoping to watch the game, any chance of ESPN picking it up?

U beat me to it. How in the heck does that happen? They must have not won a sectional the previous year. Good grief. On another note, FW North drops to 4A and has 4 D1 recruits...whew..i hear the whistles already...that hype train is gearing up to leave the station!

I like this, for others to believe in you, you must first believe in yourself! Wish them the best of luck!

Anyone know who might be bumped down from 4a north?

I didnt know who would replace Chatard in 4a south or if anyone would get bumped up from the south to take their spot. Thats crazy work if the two flip spots, a southern 4a team becomes a northern 3a team..seems like more work compared to taking two teams from each rather than reinventing the wheel, yet as you say, IHSAA gets what it wants.

Very true. Do they have someone to replace Chatard due to SF?

True, 3A north is up for grabs!

Mum is the word on the lawsuit, most of the kids ended up returning to play at the end of last season.

I have seen several clips that could back this up at the youth level...You have parents that want to still be players, running around and barking..both mom and dad's.. from an outsiders view, they look like idiots and I wonder who in the world would allow their kids to be coached by these type of adults...Mostly travel teams that want to pound their chest and say we have a ring from this tournament that we paid to play in..i stopped arguing with a co worker who swore his travel team was top ten in the country, no matter how many losses they took..i realized not to argue with a fool, from a distance people can't tell who is who..

I wouldnt say turned off completely..slightly turned down for sure. Multiple Snider names were spread out throughout the city last year, some that were even at the feeder programs..from what I have been told, the stadium is set to open fall of 2026..With less depth and the summer fiasco last year, those panthers didnt have a chance..

Ik the faucet of the talent pipeline has officially been turned back on for the panthers, the new stadium has parents buzzing and alumni have been posting pics while going to bball games and wrestling meets. East Noble is a solid game for this schedule, until they as the kids say "get their money back" EN could serve as a gr8 measuring stick. Possibly beat warsaw and/or East noble, possible state title run..lose to either...well..we see how that has ended..not knocking either of those programs..The upcoming freshman class has some hype..possibly too much...could see Ziembo beefing it up for their junior year..

No need to be Varsity anymore. Work out and go to camps after creating a highlight tape doing whatever it is they want to do. If they have the size, speed and hit the metrics, they will catch someone's eye as long as they can get to a camp at some point...other side of that..kid has no speed and lacks size yet puts up astronomical numbers against subpar competition and creates a scholarship somehow...merica!

$100.00 handshakes turning into $1,000 or $3500.00 handshakes could mean a world of difference for a senior class who would otherwise get nothing at all..No star ratings, just solid kids who coaches think deserve something for being seniors on the team. Walk the halls and ask any kid of they would care for 3k cash, knowing they wouldnt get that anywhere else and I think we have some winners..the better the player..the higher the kickback..If parents know a program has something set up that their kid will recieve something for playing, i can see that being a recruiting tool is all im going for..if skillman decides to pitch in 100k a year for NIL and everyone gets a cut, you dont think more kids will be looking to transfer?

Did not see this coming... https://www.21alivenews.com/2025/12/15/northrops-bowen-steps-down-head-football-coach/

I'm thinking more of a local aspect, alumni from certain school wants to do a commercial and tells the coach give me a few kids who we can use for our promo. It may not be millions yet when parents learn that certain schools have connections that will allow their kid a few hundred or thousands of dollars, it may influence where they attend.

I am here for it, just want to be apart of the governing committee, where can i sign up?

WOW

Yep, he also threw for a td against carmel the year b4 on a reverse pass..Guy was a beast! Gotta love the media!

👀

Thought Grant from Merrillville made it a couple years ago after leaving Michigan..also wild that Grossman Jr was an LB b4 his son was the qb..I'm shocked not as many CG guys as I thought..

And vice versa..the black and gold have to stick together! The games from 03 and 04 can attest to how similiar the programs were.

Witherspoon and Eloms...never would have guessed...Eloms had blazing speed!

We all loved that corner, and Id hate to contradict a legend..the guy who i saw cover him was the starting QB next year, he played WR all year yet during this game played Defense. The scrappy corner got a pick late, yet he played safety during this semi state contest and ran 12.4 in the 100m...he needed help and grace from God..the year prior they did the same yet both guys got torched..it made Samardjiza's highlight tape...a couple of times..

They moved the db to safety and slid over a WR to cover him with bracket coverage..I was at the game as well..maybe have some old film..the game was at Wayne, not spuller...
