Holy crap! That’s a thing! How did I not know about this?

Boy I sure hope so. The previous guy was a real nice guy but he really killed the school spirit by not letting the student section ever do anything. I got sick and tired of other student sections showing ours up. Ours was quieter than a funeral parlor.

North just has a better reputation and feels like they’re the preferred school in the city because it’s direct descendant of the original Columbus High School. Also, North seems like they take sports more seriously across the board. Everything is nicer and they have so much more success than East. In regards to football, I think the loss of Gaddis really hurt East’s reputation as a “football school”.

Sorry. Usually I’m on top of stuff like this but this one slipped under my radar. What do you mean by they were “missed”?

Can someone explain to me why Dwenger is getting dropped down to 4A when it’s not a reclassification year?

You’re not joking. It’s a shame.

Thank God!

Am I missing something here? It’s week 2

As someone who doesn’t know much about East Central aside from their football program, do all sports generally dominate the EIAC or is it a little more even across the board?

Doing a Conference Indiana pick ‘em?

No joke. When Cincinnati is a closer drive then you know it’s too far.

I love the HHC but I feel like things have changed since it formed 50 years ago. Madison was getting smaller and had to leave because they couldn’t keep up. I fear Jennings County is getting that way too. Columbus East fit in well for the longest time but I feel like we now fit in better with the cities and Indy suburban schools in south-central Indiana. And with the way Seymour is growing, I feel like they’re on their way as well. I’m iffy on BNL. They’re shrinking quickly. Not sure if they should stay or go. Problem is, they’re on the outskirts of HHC territory and losing Seymour would hurt them.

My understanding is the Terre Haute schools are the reason for why Columbus East turned down a Conference Indiana invite.

I think I’d consider any Mid-State Conference schools and Franklin Central as well. Pretty much any 4A school or bigger (sans Center Grove and private/parochial schools) south of I-465, north of US 50, and with Bloomington and Columbus as the west and east boundaries. That’s a nice rectangle encompassing 16 eligible schools.

If there was a South Central Conference 2.0 created, I’d like to see these five schools in it: Columbus North Columbus East Bloomington North Bloomington South Seymour I would then like to see one or both of these schools in it as well to make it a six or seven team conference: Southport Bedford North Lawrence

Hadn’t seen that yet on social media. Thank you!

Kentucky isn’t in the Midwest 😉

This week’s games (week 2): BNL (0-1) at 5A #9/#10 Bloomington North (1-0) Brown County (0-1) at Jennings County (1-0) 3A #1 Christian Academy of Louisville (1-0) at New Albany (0-1) Columbus North (0-1) at Columbus East (0-1) Seymour (0-1) at Jeffersonville (0-1) Terre Haute South (0-1) at Floyd Central (0-1) Notes: -Bloomington North’s ranking is #9 in the media poll and #10 in the coaches poll. -Christian Academy of Louisville’s ranking comes from the KHSAA media poll.

As we head into conference play this week, I decided to throw out a prediction on how the standings will shape up this year. This will probably be completely wrong but I’ll give it a shot. 1. Seymour 2. Floyd Central 3. BNL 4. Columbus East 5. Jennings County 6. Jeffersonville 7. New Albany

We’re only one week in. We have at least ten weeks to go. Plenty of time.

Not the only stud but I’m just impressed with his ability despite being a sophomore. I was impressed last year as well. It’s always crazy to me seeing QBs playing defense and special teams as well. It’s not easy.

Jennings County QB Parker Elmore is a stud. Second-year starter for the Panthers and only a sophomore. He can throw it and he can tuck it and run. He throws a risky pass at times but the kid is composed and confident in the pocket. His success will depend on the o-line and receivers around him so I shudder to think how good he’ll be in two years if he has help.
