Frozen Tundra

Gotcha. I knew there was a lot of money there but didn’t want to assume that was the reason for it. You guys are very successful in athletics overall in the HHC so I wasn’t sure if that’s where the entitlement came from or the money itself.

Where would you say that entitlement comes from? Other than one fan after the East and Floyd Central game, I’ve never had an issue with Floyd Central. Then again, I’m not around you all enough to know.

You would have had major heat with me if you’d posted a pic of a soccer player 😂

Nah. Nothing to see here. 😂

Question for @Impartial_Observer. Are there referees who can work both IHSAA games and games of another state? If I was a ref and I lived near the border of Indiana and either Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan I’d want to have as many options open as possible. Therefore, I wasn’t sure if this was something that was possible for a ref to do.

Already have! Thank you sir!

No worries. I mean, I don’t think it’s really going to matter. Then again, crazier things have happened.

It was definitely the right call. They just couldn’t execute it. As for Floyd Central, they still have two HHC games left. Unless some sort of miracle happens in which they lose out to Jennings County and New Albany, they’re going to be champs for the first time in 20 years. Well-deserved. Coach Bragg, his staff, and all those kids deserve all the credit.

@hhpatriot04 @Coach Nowlin @DK_Barons This is me begging you to leave this thread up. We’ve worked too dang hard to get to 163 pages. We HHC football fans don’t have much to cheer about but we at least have this thread. It’s the only thing we have on the rest of the teams and conferences in the state.

Nope

New Albany 29 Jeffersonville 7 Final

Floyd Central 28 BNL 27 Final I didn’t see a final score posted so I figured I’d add it. Found clips of the game on the BNL Athletics Twitter. Looks like BNL got a TD with 47 seconds left to pull within one. They went for two but the handoff to the RB wasn’t clean and it resulted with players falling on the ball. Floyd Central survives.

Bloomington North 42 Columbus East 0 Final Columbus East got outgained in yardage tonight 403-52.

Unreal. Glad to hear he’s doing well enough to keep coaching. Can’t believe he’s still doing it.

162 pages of pure entertainment. One of the worst football conferences in the state and yet we have plenty to talk about. I love you guys.

This will be the first week this season that I won’t be attending a game. However, since I saw two games in week 2, it all evens out. Nevertheless, best of luck to everyone tonight and keep us posted on the scores.

Still need week 7 picks from: @Owls2005 @swcgillespie @Uncle Bubba

Week 7 Picks BNL (4-2, 4-0 HHC) at 5A #10 Floyd Central (5-1, 3-0 HHC) Jeffersonville (0-6, 0-3 HHC) at New Albany (1-5, 1-2 HHC) Seymour (3-3, 2-2 HHC) at Jennings County (3-3, 0-3 HHC) Columbus East (2-4) at 5A #1 Bloomington North (6-0)

Yeah I think Snider beats the winner of sectional 13 in the state championship. The Bloomington schools aren’t very reliable.

Oh there actually was a debate? I thought @Impartial_Observer was just being funny.

My opinion is that the top team in 5A isn’t legitimately a top 5 team in 5A. They’re just the only one that’s undefeated.

Both Bloomington schools have their flaws. South has always had a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot with penalties. North doesn’t usually live up to expectations very well and has a tendency to play down to their competition. If either of them make it to semistate, I think it’ll be the end of the road. I think the state representative out of the south will come from sectional 13. Snider is still my pick to win it all though, even with last week’s loss to Homestead.

I think it just comes back to what they’ve done so far this decade and how they’ve lost games a lot of people thought they’d win. I remember you and a lot of people saying they’d be sectional champs in 2020 only to get upset by Jeffersonville in the championship game. That shocked a lot of people, especially considering Floyd Central had beaten them by 35 and by 28 earlier in the year. In 2021, after East’s HHC win streak had ended at the hands of Seymour and the home winning streak ended two weeks later against New Albany, you and a lot of people predicted Floyd Central would be the next team to avenge nearly two decades of defeats. Instead, East won by 14. This was three weeks after Floyd Central had surprisingly lost to a Silver Creek team that had lost a lot of experience from the prior year’s 9-1 team. Then, last year, you and a lot of folks had Floyd Central winning the HHC. Instead, they opened HHC play with a loss to Seymour. Two weeks later, Floyd Central beat an East team that had beaten Seymour. Now the Highlanders were in position to clinch at least a share of an HHC title. Instead, they dropped their next two against teams they were favored to beat. BNL knocked them off and then Jennings County pulled a major upset and beat them. So that’s why folks like me and @Impartial_Observer are a little hesitant with your Highlanders. It’s nothing personal. Just feels like we’ve been let down by expectations. Personally, I think this year’s team is different but we will find out on Friday night and beyond.
