Frozen Tundra

Nah. I want to see a wind game like this one.

Yeah at this point, I agree. We need the rain bad. Maybe Helene will be a blessing.

Yeah the residents of Jennings County will be heartbroken when the pregame homecoming parade through downtown North Vernon gets canceled.

You forgot to pick the BNL at JC game

Thanks for the explanation. When John Harrell’s site showed three polls listed for each classification, I was confused. I’d been meaning to ask about this so I’m glad you posted this topic.

What’s the difference between this poll and the AP media poll? I thought these were voted on by the same people.

Best of luck next week. I think we’ll need it more than you guys. Should be for the HHC title.

Reminded me of last week’s game although Jeff hung in there longer than Seymour did. I just kept waiting for Floyd Central to pull away.

I wouldn’t say they got stomped for 48 minutes. I’d say they got stomped for 24 minutes.

Week 5 Picks Columbus East (2-2, 2-0 HHC) at New Albany (3-1, 2-0 HHC): The schedule gets tougher from here for the Bulldogs. After three weeks of playing winless teams, New Albany hosts an Olympians team on a bit of a roll. East averaged 3 points per game and gave up 35 points per game in the first two weeks. The last two weeks they’ve averaged 46 points per game and given up 11 points per game. The Bulldogs have dropped 11 home games in a row to East and I believe that streak continues tonight. The Olympians lead the all-time series 27-6 and have won 21 of the last 22. Jeffersonville (3-1, 2-0 HHC) at Floyd Central (2-1, 1-0 HHC): This game has turned out to be a much bigger game than any of us anticipated as the Red Devils have outperformed expectations through the first four weeks of the season. However, both teams have played a common opponent already in Seymour and it didn’t take a miracle for the Highlanders to defeat the Owls. Instead, it was a whooping. Based on that, I have to think Floyd Central gets the win. Jeff leads the all-time series 27-26 but Floyd Central has won 16 of the last 19, including the last four. Excluding postseason games, the Highlanders have won 12 straight in the series. Seymour (1-3, 0-3 HHC) at BNL (0-4, 0-2 HHC): The Owls have had a rough last three weeks playing what looks to be the three best teams in the HHC. Things will get easier from here in their remaining HHC slate. A game against the worst Stars team in over a decade should get them back on track. BNL is off to its first 0-4 start since the 2013 team went 1-9. They’ve shown very slight improvement each week but not enough to win this game. Seymour leads the all-time series 25-24 and has won the last three in Bedford. Jennings County (0-4) at Madison (2-2): The Cubs are off to a 2-2 start for the first time since 2014, which is the last time they finished a season above .500 (6-5). Meanwhile, the Panthers are 0-4 and coming off their worst performance of the season, a 62-7 drubbing from Columbus East. The home team has won this rivalry game 12 straight times and I’d be shocked if that number doesn’t reach 13 tonight. Jennings County leads the all-time series 32-28.

I don’t have a dog in the fight nor the knowledge to formulate an opinion on the Bloomington schools and the districting argument. Nevertheless, I understand the southern border of Bloomington North’s district is very close to Bloomington South. Do the Bloomington schools have to stay similar in size? The IHSAA’s current enrollment figures show a difference of 92 students whereas Columbus North has 749 more students than Columbus East. Does either Bloomington school have the capacity to house many more students than the other, or are the numbers evened out because neither can be larger than the other? And if one or both schools can house many more students then why is it districted so that the schools are pretty even in numbers?

Week 5 Schedule Columbus East (2-2, 2-0 HHC) at New Albany (3-1, 2-0 HHC) Jeffersonville (3-1, 2-0 HHC) at Floyd Central (2-1, 1-0 HHC) Seymour (1-3, 0-3 HHC) at BNL (0-4, 0-2 HHC) Jennings County (0-4) at Madison (2-2)

I would hope they would already know you guys are an option. If they do, I hope it’s not a case of you guys being a 2A school. Nevertheless, I’ll let him know.

You’d think every HHC school would have a freshman team. I was told by one of the East coaches that it has become a problem the last 3-4 years. Since only Floyd Central and Jeff have freshman teams, they’ve had to find opponents themselves for the weeks varsity was playing an HHC team that didn’t have a freshman team.

I’m intrigued by our freshman team at Bloomington South - W, 41-0 Columbus North - W, 34-22 at Martinsville - W, 26-24 Silver Creek - W, 35-0 We’ll see how it goes down the stretch. Lawrence North Floyd Central at Bloomington North at Jeffersonville at South Dearborn Crazy to think only Columbus East, Floyd Central, and Jeffersonville have freshman teams. I would’ve thought a school as big as New Albany would have one.

Amending my projections after four weeks of the season. 1. Floyd Central 2. Columbus East 3. Jeffersonville 4. Seymour 5. New Albany 6. BNL 7. Jennings County

Just looked into it. Bloomington was one of the ten founding members of the SIAC back in 1935 (along with Bicknell, Evansville Bosse, Evansville Central, Evansville Reitz, Linton-Stockton, New Albany, Princeton, Sullivan, and Vincennes-Lincoln). Bloomington left the conference in the summer of 1964. Looks like the conference membership peaked right before Bloomington left. The 1963 standings show 20 teams: Bedford, Bloomington, Boonville, Evansville Bosse, Evansville Central, Evansville Harrison, Evansville Mater Dei, Evansville Memorial, Evansville North, Evansville Rex Mundi, Evansville Reitz, Huntingburg, Jasper, Mount Vernon (Posey), New Albany, North Knox, Princeton, Tell City, Vincennes-Lincoln, and Washington.

I’ve never been a fan of conferences being so big that you couldn’t play everyone. So from my outsider perspective, I hated when you guys had ten teams. In a perfect world, Conference Indiana would have eight teams and it would’ve been Pike and Lawrence Central that left instead of Martinsville and Decatur Central. Geographically, it was perfect and it would be very competitive.
