Thanks. I will enjoy another night of flipping though the games. Good luck to all of the teams that are playing.

Will the IHSAA charge to watch regional games again or will they allow the streams to play on their network. I enjoy watching multiple games from home. But I don't want to pay for it.

Of course the ratings come into focus. They change each week. If teams win they move up. What did they look like before the sectional started?

Since it looks like both teams are guilty in this matter, then they both should be removed from the tourney or nothing should happen to either team. I watched the video but not the entire game so I didn't see everything. But from the play in question that started the final fight, both schools are at fault. If the IHSAA wants to send a message then kick both teams out of the tourney. If you fight you get removed.

Back when I was young...I'm sure you guys enjoy telling your stories from the barstool. I'm proud to be your hero.

Just because it was done in the past doesn't make it the best way to do things....

Probably more concussions though.

I would suggest that the IHSAA play all sectional games at home sites. With the option to move to bigger/better equipped fields for the second and third round games. Then play all regional/semi state games at neutral sites. As I mentioned in a previous post watching the Adams Central vs. Monroe Central game last night made me wonder if the game was played on turf would it have been a better game for both teams? I live in Plymouth and we have a very nice facility and since we were out of the tourney it was open to use. I think that at least it should be discussed by the IHSAA.

I disagree. I was able to watch some of the South Adams vs. Monroe Central game and that game was played in mud pit. Not only did it take away from both teams but it may have tore the field up and require some $$$ to repair. The field turf at least would offer some chance for both teams to play on a decent field and also allow them to put forth their best effort that is not changed due to the weather.

I watched the 3rd and part of the 4th quarter and I was more concerned with the field conditions. That field was entirely mud. This wasn't a true indication of how good these two teams were. We live in a time where a lot of schools have turf fields. You can't tell me that there wasn't a school nearby who wasn't using their field that could've allowed this game to played there? I feel bad that some of these kids had to end their season playing in those conditions.

Not to mention the band using the field to prepare for their ISSMA contests. Having a turf field allows everyone to use the field. Even in the spring I have seen baseball and softball using our turf.

This is from the NFHS stats manual. The last line in the definition of a first down says "This includes a touchdown play." So I believe on any touchdown that is scored via passing/rushing from scrimmage should also result in a first down for the offense.

Having seen both East Noble and Northridge live when they played us, I will have to agree with NLCTiger and say that East Noble is better than Northridge, or at least when we played them. East Noble has some playmakers on offense that I didn't Ridge having. But there is still a lot of football to play and we got Wawasee this week. Good Luck to all NLC schools tonight and stay healthy.

All I did was walk with them as I was leaving the game. I usually talk to them when officials come to Plymouth. I asked their thoughts on that last play. So...the standard is to repeat poor sportsmanship? Hopefully the new AD at ridge will take care of that attitude.

Until Plymouth figures out how to play defense better we are just the medicine you need.

Dude it was a running clock. Take a knee. The officials after the game even told me it was the worst display of sportsmanship they had seen in a while.

I think that there are a lot of valid points with all of this. I still believe that the major issue with athletics in our state is that kids don't get free time away. Our football team was doing things in the gym starting in December and used the open facilities to their fullest. If you have seen us play it hasn't helped. When most of us played in the 80's and 90's we had our season, if we wrestled or played basketball we did that, then we went to our spring sport. I played three sports and never had to practice a sport out of season. During the summer we had weights for football three days a week for an hour or two and open gyms for basketball once to twice a week for a couple of hours. These were in the evening so kids could work and if someone didn't show up the coaches didn't get their panties in a bundle. We are asking too much of kids and they decide to give up these activities so they can work, chase girls, or do something on their own. They don't need to have a coach telling them they need to lift, do 7 on 7, show up to walk throughs then go to basketball and play two leagues a week and go to workouts/open gyms. Then attend team camps on the weekends. Kids that want to work or have to work to make money so they can have a car or just some cash to take their girls out to dinner can't do that and play sports. When you make kids choose they will choose. Don't be upset when they don't choose what you want them to.

Why throw the deep pass on the last play of the game?

I like the extra day. Play on Thanksgiving instead. I know people will not like it but it is for a state title. Pick the 2 match-ups that are closest to Indy and play on Thursday.

Sounds like a Trump rally or maybe one of his Rose Garden get togethers. We are turning the corner though.

Not true! I thought after the election it was going to disappear. There have been cases of re-infection. How is this a great job? I know you are silly and don't trust anything that is scientific but to say that is a great job is idiocy.

I guess it didn't matter. We gave up two long TD passes in the first half and couldn't score until the second half. Our kids fought hard but CMA had a good game plan and we didn't start the game well. Congrats to CMA and the championship between Mike Johnson and Andy Dorrel will be one to watch. Good luck to both teams.

This game is being played in Plymouth. CMA isn't allowing opposing schools to bring fans to its "bubble". So they told the IHSAA they were playing all games on the road. Will this change your mind?

Only if you expect to still coach after attending the family event. If you put your family first then don't go around the kids.

Why was NP missing players? I also thought that Plymouth was by far the most aggressive. NP stayed on the perimeter while they had the size advantage inside. Our QB is the best athlete in the sectional.
