That's fine. Then you can't get the taxpayer money for your school.

When I coached softball I was always one to tell the kids to adjust to the strike zone. I never thought an umpire was trying to screw my team. Did I always agree with the calls? No. Did I get mad? Yes. But to say they have too much influence is crazy. The people who say that are those who are trying to get a walk and take that 3rd strike when it is close. I know I would call pitches to all locations in the first inning and ask my catcher what was working then we would adjst from there. The adversity doesn't come from officials it comes from people who like the way the game is being called and instead of adjusting they play the blame game. Sorry for the rant but I feel that officials get a bad rap from fans and players. This guys #2 struck a nerve.

Haven't met coach yet but I have watched some Rochester Highlights. I like the wing-T. Can't wait to see what we look like next year.

At my school the problem is a little bit of both. Kids in all sports here feel it is a put down to be on JV or C Team. They don't look at playing sports as a means to compete, they look at it as status. In the past your played freshman as a freshman, you played JV as a sophomore and sometimes as a junior, then your senior year you got to varsity and could play there. Now it seems kids and parents think that JV is a death sentence. I have seen kids quit a sport because they weren't going to be varsity as a sophomore. It is hard to build a program when you can't have at least a JV playing on Saturdays to get experience and build that depth you need for next season. Waiting your turn has been lost on this generation. If they can't be good now they just quit.

Not a "real" thing. It is open facilities allowed by the IHSAA. Our school doesn't call it practice but our players do. It helped us last year as we saw improvement so hopefully it will continue.

I love the way you won't say the names...Just say who it is.

The town of Bourbon was hit hard. This is where Triton High School is located. They will for sure be out of school for the rest of the week. https://wsbt.com/news/local/severe-storms-weather-tornado-lightning-rain-wind-hail-home-tree-semis-overturned-us-30-rescue-bourbon-indiana

I would love to hear who these "many" people are. Time will tell about consecutive solid seasons. I do know that we have a lot of good athletes working hard to keep momentum. We have better numbers than we have had and they are quality kids and athletes. I know we will work hard and improve. I can't wait to see all of the naysayers eat their words.

I do know that at PHS we would say "Interesting! One winning season, and now you're the place to go? I'd be hard-pressed to see students beating down your door to go there!" Obviously academics aren't a strong point. We offer better English classes and our Math SAT scores are now 12% over the state average. We will get you into college.

When does the portal open?

I would offer up Plymouth as a destination in Marshall County. We play in a good conference with recent state championship participants. We are going to be the CTE hub of Marshall County and our class offerings are numerous. We have the best athletic facilities in the county and we can get our students either the college credits they need to cut a year off of their post-secondary schooling or using the CTE program to get them into the field of their choosing. We have it all. Bring your athletic children here and we will build them into solid student-athletes.

In a 4 year span for that to happen and have your kid change to three schools over that time than maybe the family should just wait until Johnny finishes high school before moving. Being on your 3rd high school in three years would be a negative learning experience for Johnny anyway. Athletics should not be the number one issue and if it is then the family would stay in Avon so he could play.

Why are they even wasting their time with this? If a family moves the kids should get instant eligibility. If they go to another school outside of residence then they get instant eligibility. If they decide to transfer a second time no matter the reasons than they should have to sit a year. It is four years of a kid's life but they need stability. More than 2 High Schools in their life means athletics is the last thing they should be worried about. Also why do we not have NIL in Indiana High Schools?

No apology needed. I was upset that we couldn't talk about it. I figured once he was exonerated then the digest "police" would let us make comments. You matter what happens in the case he is still the same person he was before all of this happened. One dropped case doesn't fix all of the things he has done. Only if they align with the beliefs of the moderators.

I too was able to jump around and watch games. I wish the Semi-state games were free to watch also. I thought the LN game was a fun watch and also the Martinsville games was entertaining.
