No Tell City, no Pike Central this week....

I suspect there may be teams with even more out due to corona

The 2020 football season could be great experience for some sophomores....

2A MD, 3A Bosse?, 4A Central, 5A North... is that the four? edited... forgot about VL

Sorry to disappoint you. I can assure you the man doing the announcing was not intentionally trying to do whatever you believe he was doing. He is a very "do the right thing kind of guy," and I'm confident he was just trying to do the best job he could do. He is a very excitable guy and I have no doubt that could have played into how much he was talking if he was saying too much. I was on the field and never noticed it... If it needs addressed it will be...

This is just my opinion but these youth kids (many of us for that matter) did nothing for months because of Covid. You know how hard it is to start working out again after taking some time off, many of these kids don't want to start doing things (athletic things) again. Many of the parents probably enjoyed the time with their family during the downtime created by Covid, so when "little Johnny" wants to stay home instead of go to football practice many of these parents accept it as ok. I know many youth programs (middle school on down) here in SW Indiana have lower numbers for football than in years past. The gradual decline, at some schools, in participation over the last few years has been accelerated this year due to Covid. Hopefully it bounces back!

I believe Mack graduated in 94, was 94 200 meters track state champ.

Technically 3A and 5A, I believe in 82 3A was the biggest class and 4A was introduced in 83. Completely shocked me they didn't win SIAC in 94, don't remember Bosse winning it. Bosse lost in sectional, Castle wins state, and MD (who finished 3rd in SIAC) was state runner-up.

I don't believe I agree with that assessment. 2014 state runner-up, 15 lost to state champ Monrovia at regional, 16 lost to Monrovia again at regional, 17 lost to state champ Southridge in sectional, 18 lost to Southridge again, 19 lost in regional to Triton Central. They have won one State title in football, they are really good year in and year out in 2A. Don't expect this year to be any different!

Very interesting week in the PAC...

Pour Haus closed due to COVID till Tuesday, had to try The Post. Was solid! Thanks, good luck as well! Real long drive tonight had to cut thru Evansville, lots of construction.

Game day! Almost as excited for the game as I am that I get off work early so I can make the long drive to Tell City and eat at the Pour Haus before the game. I highly recommend it!!

I don't believe that is exclusive to this part of the state or country...

Extra stuff? 😀 You mean blitz packages and things like that right?

I would also like to see the Vikings come out of there with a win! 😀 We have the talent to win many games this season, unfortunately we lack confidence and physicality at times. Great group of young men, hoping they can figure it out!

I understand!

I'm thinking you just can't make yourself pick Princeton...

I hate that but better than no game!

Does HH expect to be back at full strength this week? How about Boonville? Did GS find a week 4 game?

I'm going to guess with 85,000+ kids (boys and girls, based off school enrollment numbers for 192 schools) to field a team, they could come up with some competition. Lets say each school get 45 kids out, that would be over 8600 kids on a team.

I'm not able to get into specifics (because I don't know them,) but I do know the kid was suspended from school when he decided to transfer. Punishment usually follows the kid. I believe the kid, who use to get rides home (20ish minutes out of the way) from the AD/coach after practice/school for nearly 2 years hasn't talked with the AD/coach since his decision. From what I have heard the kid has never asked for a release, I suspect if he picked up the phone and called the AD/coach and asked for one he might get one..... to be clear I am not an employee of the school and these are mostly things I have gathered from reliable sources or have witnessed.

Out of conference schedule has presented some challenges to GS early... Owensboro, then Jackson, then Whiteland, and now Southport.

Just a short 4 hour bus ride!
