I think they found out they were at the wrong central and moved to Adams Central. In all seriousness, I think it was a large migrant worker population that was added to the schools ADM in the fall of the count year.

Does anyone have them divided correctly by class? I appreciate the guys that have tried, but just wondered if there is a version that has them all aligned correctly.

At the Region 4 meeting it was explained to us that lower level games could be played as 8 man games en lieu of cancelling a game. So a Varsity could play 11 man and JV could play 8 man.

I think you just go top two every year.

How about reclassifying every year? You play in the state title game and you move up a class for a year. You would be considered the best from both the North and the South in that respective class. Reclassification can't be as hard as the IHSAA makes it out to be. If you play in the state championship after the bump, you move up again. If you don't play in the state championship, you move back down. Would be easier to keep track of then the point system. Just a thought.

Maybe some Rochester/RC sectional battles in our future!

Laville's playcalling was what it has been for years. They try to out flank you and find a numbers advantage. In the past, it was easier because they had more studs. In 2019, I thought their playcalling was very good. They had a better passer. Plummer's strength was in his legs. He was limited in what he could do passing. The coaches that are with those players everyday know what they can do and they call plays to their strength. I am pretty sure that Laville got the most that they could out of this team. If the field conditions are different week 1 of sectional, I am not sure Laville is even in the regional. I am still trying to figure out what even happened at the end of that game. The referees in that one looked to have no clue of what down it was, clock management, or general playclock rules. Honestly, some untimely flags against LCC seemed to keep it closer than it really felt. It never seemed that Laville was really ever in the game. The score board showed the opposite obviously. I am just saying the flow of the game always seemed to be in LCC's favor.

Better start scheduling out of state games! Get some big Michigan schools or a few Chicago schools on the schedule.

Yeah, It doesn't help that you play a very less than typical 6a schedule. Having only two on the schedule is not getting Penn ready for tournament play.

"The way in which they lost to Cathedral" is the way most teams on their schedule lose to Cathedral. It is going to take a special group of players to beat Cathedral on any given Friday. I'm not sure the "higher standards" thing applies. Penn was ahead of the curve for many years. I just think many programs have caught up. It is not that Penn is doing anything wrong. How would those teams of old done if there was a success factor back in the glory days?

Maybe I'm missing something in translation, but Penn is 8-1 and their only loss is to Cathedral. Last I checked, they are pretty good. They are probably going to be in the sectional championship against Carroll. I know Penn seemed to have a standing seat at the in the state finals back in the day, but they are still competitive. If they beat Carroll in the final, they will have a great chance against whoever comes out of sectional 1. The staff at Penn is doing fine.

Valley has a 60 man roster. They will play between 7-8 players both ways.

Under bylaws established by the IHSAA, its board of directors may designate a sport as a recognized sport if the following requirements are satisfied: • One-hundred fifty or more member schools representing a minimum of 40 schools from each district have each sponsored a full program in that sport, and have participated in that sport two consecutive years (there remains the very real possibility the rule could be lowered to 100 schools). • The sport has gone through the emerging sport process, and an updated emerging sport application is submitted to the board with the request for recognition. • Provided the prior requirements are satisfied, the board at its annual meeting may, by a majority vote, recognize the sport as a recognized sport. Currently, there are 87 Indiana high schools that have boys volleyball programs, including three in Johnson County with Center Grove, Franklin and Whiteland. There are 118 high schools that had at least one girl wrestling this past season. "Boys volleyball might soon be a sanctioned sport in Indiana" By Mike Beas Daily Journal -March 28, 2023

I could be wrong, but I don't think volleyball has as many recognized teams as girls wrestling does.

Not sure where you have been, but it is closer to becoming an IHSAA sanctioned sport than you think. It takes one girl to make a team for wrestling. It is just around the corner. Boys volleyball came in as an emerging sport at the same time as girls wrestling. Girls wrestling will get there first.

Can the ball be moved to the middle of the field or to a hash? For example, the ball was caught on the left hash at the 40 yard line. Can that ball be positioned in the middle of the field for the free kick? We practice this every Thursday night, but this is always a question for us.

The MVP Sprint is the same model as the Dartmouth robot I believe. I think that Rogers bought the rights or licensing of the product. We purchased ours for 3450 each. Allows us to full speed tackle every Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rochester has now worn Guardian Caps for a season in practice from Monday through Thursday. We are starting our second season. We wore them all summer at team camp and scrimmages. Here is all I can tell you about our experiences so far. No concussions in practice. We had one in a game situation last season. But on top of that, we do a tackling circuit two days a week. We emphasize near hip/near shoulder, trailing the back hip, seeing what you hit, hawk and roll, sliding the head off to the side on in the hole type of contact. We also do not tackle live in practice in our circuit or in team time. We tackle a robotic MVP dummy from Rogers. I cannot tell you that Guardian Caps help for sure, but I can tell you that our community, stakeholders, boosters, parents, and players appreciate that we have them. Somebody asked why they are not used in games. They are legal to use in games. We have not gone to that yet.

So I'm guessing that each AD also has a secretary. That is sometimes like having 6 AD's on the job. Many secretaries could do the job by themselves.

I could not imagine what this guys typical day looks like. I am sure he has many assistant AD's, but he still must be a very organized man. Actually, any of these guys doing both are very busy and organized men.

There isn't a second moratorium.

One area school bragged that they played 50 basketball games May-June! Irishman is wrong. It is 12 days for football in the summer with 5 being competitive. Helmet and shoulder pads may be worn on those 12 days or not, but both count towards your days.

Not sure what that means. We do have indoor plumbing in most of our homes.

I have a feeling Rochester is going to be on that schedule somewhere. Maybe the Vikings can get Kokomo on their schedule when Logansport jumps to the hoosier.

I am not sure if the Hoosier makes sense for the Berries but the Berries make sense for the Hoosier. Western is 4A, Logansport is 4A, and West Lafayette is more 4A than both of them. I know they are 3A. Heights is a strong 3A roster wise and have physical kids that can handle 4A competition. I think this makes really good sense for the Hoosier. Does it make good sense for the Berries? They might call it an even trade off with the exception of the loss of Jeff on their schedule. Not sure how the Logan/Peru game figures in, but maybe Logan can keep Jeff on their schedule.
