Frozen Tundra

Would’ve been a riot if they didn’t hire from within. I believe Vogel has spent more time with Gaddis at East than pretty much everyone. Well deserved.

Columbus East essentially did the same in 2013 in 4A. First round was at Madison and then hosted Greenwood, Shelbyville, Jasper, and New Palestine the next four rounds before the state final.

What a comeback. Thought they were dead in the water.

You won’t hear an argument from me. I thought it was lame as well.

Kick and go up 8. Otherwise you leave the door open for Pioneer to win it with a touchdown and a two point conversion.

Zionsville won 27-9

I had heard three years ago that he’s not interested. Maybe that has changed since then.

42 year career with his last 20 being at East. Career record of 330-143 and two state championships. Sixth all-time in wins in IHSAA history. Here’s the article http://www.therepublic.com/2020/11/18/gaddis-retiring-as-east-football-coach/

Bob Gaddis has announced his retirement after 20 years at East and 42 years overall. He is the sixth winningest coach in Indiana history with a record of 330-143. As East heads into its 50th season of football, it will be looking for its third head coach.

Wouldn’t matter. 1A is sitting at 62 teams so they can add a couple of schools without anyone having to bump up to 2A.

Final HHC Pick ‘Em Standings: @boilerfan87 41/52 (.788) @Frozen Tundra 39/52 (.750) @mamasa 36/51 (.706) @starbacker 33/49 (.673) @Fkfootball 25/34 (.735) @Olympian06 8/11 (.727) Congrats to @boilerfan87 on another victory. Not sure if this is the second or third year in a row but I feel like you’re undefeated at this either way. Maybe we can actually give you some competition next year.

Problem is, the HHC teams won’t be able to choose when they get to play their conference games starting next year. Someone will have an open week in week 3, someone will have one in week 4, someone will have one in week 5 and so on. Maybe some teams will have to play conference games starting in week 1 to try to find openings for other weeks in the schedule. It’ll be interesting to see how it works out. I hope nobody has any issues but it’s definitely going to make it tougher to schedule non-conference games.

I disagree. There is going to be at least one non-conference game played every week now. Finding a quality opponent deep in the season while most conferences are in conference play isn’t going to be easy for every team, especially those down by the Ohio River. For example, Jeffersonville wasn’t able to find a week 6 replacement for Cathedral this year.

Nobody is asking for it except Bloomington North “allegedly”.

I’m curious to know why.

Like I said, it’s a rumor. Not sure if it’s true but the source is an assistant football coach with one of the HHC schools. Even if Bloomington North wants to join, the HHC would still have to approve. Personally, I think the HHC should just wait for Silver Creek to fill the spot.

Such as?

I would say SOME teams beat themselves, not all. All teams make mistakes though. I think it’s important not to confuse the two.

Check IHSAAtv.org. It looks like all of the games are posted there.

Post them here!

Castle should win easily. Castle would be a top two team in the Hoosier Hills Conference. Jeffersonville is having somewhat of a miracle run right now but that’s because they’ve been playing HHC teams not named Columbus East.

Yeah they left after the 1982-1983 school year to join the South Central Conference. When the SCC died after the 1996-1997 school year, Bloomington North, along with three other members (Bloomington South, Columbus North, and Martinsville), helped form Conference Indiana.

I think the door has to open somewhere first. They wouldn’t prefer to go independent. My understanding is that they want to make Conference Indiana work. However, I’m not sure the other schools are as committed. Bloomington North has already tried to leave for the Mid-State but was denied when Perry Meridian was chosen. Not sure how true it is but I’ve heard rumors Bloomington North is wanting to replace Madison as the eighth HHC team.

The question is, is this an outlier or the norm?

Columbus East was already offered a spot but declined. The Terre Haute schools were the dealbreaker.
