What’s the scoop on McDonald? I don’t remember him playing in the second half last week either.

What do you mean by that?

They’re a ten team conference now so they no longer play non-conference games

I’d like your comment but I’ve apparently used up my small quota of those for the day 🙄

I’m kind of leaning that way too. I like the freedom of scheduling a third non-conference opponent.

Curious to know what you guys think. With Madison leaving the conference at the end of the school year, would you guys want the conference to remain at seven teams or return to eight teams? Or would you get even crazier and want to shoot for nine or ten teams? I know the SIAC and SAC each have ten members and play a conference-only schedule in the regular season. Please don’t post anything about the teams or schools that should or shouldn’t join the conference. We’ve already discussed that a million times. I just want to know how many teams you think should be in the conference.

Seymour is being coached by Tyson Moore who graduated from Columbus East in 2011. Played for Bob Gaddis and is the son of Center Grove’s head coach, Eric Moore. I know he’s only 27 but I feel like he knows what it takes to build a winning program. Seymour could be a threat in the HHC if he sticks around.

My picks are in bold. Bloomington North at BNL Columbus East at Columbus North Jeffersonville at Seymour Jennings County at Brown County New Albany at Eastern Hancock Providence at Floyd Central South Dearborn at Madison

Gaddis’ first two seasons (2001 & 2002) at East were the last time East started a season 0-3.

Ok awesome. Thank you for the info.

I think they’ll still sleepwalk their way through the 5A tournament until they run into a New Palestine or Cathedral.

Yeah I hope you guys are prepared for jet sweeps and a lot of misdirection.

No clue but Glesing isn’t coaching anywhere this year. Hopefully he just wants to take time off or retire on his own accord. I hope cancer or some other illness isn’t affecting him again.

Glesing isn’t the coach at Paoli. He stepped down in January after one season. Paoli has a first year coach.

Yeah my head was telling me to pick Whiteland but my biased heart took East.

Whoa. Why do you have Madison in fourth? They couldn’t beat Paoli last night.

This is 100% true. North fans won’t admit it but the stats as well as the eye test prove that they are at their best the first few weeks of the season. It’s all downhill from there.

Final Scores: Whiteland 28, Columbus East 21 Floyd Central 41, Jeffersonville 6 Martinsville 13, BNL 6 New Albany 47, Bloomington South 35 Covenant Christian 52, Jennings County 14 Paola 28, Madison 27 South Dearborn 36, Seymour 21

Not trying to take anything away from New Albany but I wonder how Bloomington South looks now that Mo Moriarity is retired. You’d assume there’d be some sort of drop-off after losing a coaching legend.

Honestly, we’re just spoiled. If we don’t look like a top four team in our class, if we can’t beat Columbus North, or if we don’t win our conference games by 28+ points each then we get frustrated. I’ll admit those last two Markell Jones years really had me spoiled. If we weren’t beating HHC teams by 42 points or more then I thought there was something wrong with us. Lol
