Thanks. I didn't realize you had red stripe(s)? on the helmet? White-black-thick red-black-white?

Was that sarcasm? I'm not a fan of the clutter. I much prefer this:

I'm really surprised that HH held onto an honorable mention in the Gannett/USA Today Poll. Speaks to their perceived quality of opponent, I assume. I'm all for publicity for Heritage Hills football, but within realism. I'm sure Coach Tempel has employed a few fun drills in practice this week, as to not repeat the same unforced mistakes (namely penalties, special teams, and ball protection)! Glad to see North Posey getting some attention. Gibson, meh. Let's see how they do in the PAC this season before crowning them.

Thanks. For numbers on the right, decal on the left, I've been putting the non-numbers on the right just because I think it is better for this purpose.

Looks nice! Clean design and great history and story. The decal almost looks like a "6".

At some schools, freshmen do not get to wear decals. At other schools, moms put the decals on the helmets at a special banquet before the season. Some schools like Cathedral, Evansville Reitz, Mater Dei and others have no decals. What special traditions/rituals does your school have regarding helmets and decals?

Thanks. Black facemask, as well? Best pic I could find. So it doesn't have the Cavs logo as a decal on the right side?

Will North Posey be challenged for the PAC title? Possible contenders seem to be Tell City and Forest Park.

Thanks. I can work with this, but do you have a view of the right side of the helmet? Do you know the color of gold? (looks like "Vegas gold" or very close) Is there one blue stripe or two on the crown of the helmet? What does it say above the facemask on the forehead?

I'm working on the HNAC helmets today. Please let me know if these are different from what the teams are wearing this year. Better yet, if you can post clear pictures of the 2026 helmets/logos and/or describe them -- that would be super helpful. Appreciate any input!

Evansville North Evansville Reitz Best I could do with the North helmet. It's not perfect, but better than it was.

Looks pretty close. I can mess with it tonight. Thanks.

I read on FB that Linton is extremely young, graduated a lot of players, and these are some major growing pains.

October 2 is two weeks away? OK... Memorial plays Mater Dei AT THE REITZ BOWL in two weeks. Reitz plays at North on the same night.

That would be "Coach Clayton Blue" to you, sir.

Probably the AP poll. I was told by the person designated to run the AP poll this year that it should be out this week.

What's that nonsense Tecumseh has behind the T? Are they the flaming Ts? ETA: What's with all these teams changing from royal blue to navy blue? Heritage Hills first did it with football a long time ago, then other sports at HH followed. Now it seems Tecumseh is getting away from its royal blue roots.

I just posted in another thread: This early in the season, the computer ratings are not reliable. I have all the actual game results since 1999. Sagarin reaches peak accuracy after 4-5 games. Then it starts predicting over 80-percent correctly (88% correct since 1999).

Can't forget those JV touchdowns in the 4th quarter to kill the spread!

If implemented in the late 90s, Roncalli would've gone to 4A first (in 2000) -- Zionsville might have already been 4A, then Heritage Hills in 2002, then Chatard in (2003)... Those Chatard-Roncalli sectional matchups in 4A would've likely prevented both from going to 5A (the largest class at the time). Reitz and East Central could've ended up in 5A in the mid-2000s.
