I have read this and haven’t been able to confirm yet but it sounds correct. North Posey Josiah Rickets has passed Pike Central’s Adam Seitz (1943pts) to become the PAC’s all time leading scorer. Josiah currently sits at 1973 and is 68th all time in the state of Indiana.

Anyone expect a new coach to be announced at Harrison or Reitz in the next week or two?

Great news for PAC football and PC!

If I remember correctly he stated that the benefits had become too expensive and the pay was lacking compared to South Spencer. That was a few years ago so I could be misremembering....

Always thought USI could offer a great opportunity for some of the kids who struggle a little more in the classroom, want to continue to play football and couldn't get into UE

Nope, could see both sides. He had success when he had a established program with talent. He lives in Owensboro and has not had the results at SS I’m sure he had expected.

Yeah I believe he still lives in Owensboro, unless its from the Ridge.

You think Hart snubbed Reitz and took the Apollo job? 😀 So that means that at least two PAC teams may need new coaches...

Only if everyone get the Hi-Pod X31

They have a turf field at the school that they practice on and I believe they use it for JV and Freshman games.

Believe he is the Assistant AD with a pretty substantial salary....

Off topic but how many more years does Goebel got in him?

I noticed you left Mt. Vernon and Washington off your schedule but included Princeton?

Reitz is just two years removed from being SIAC champions, I expect them to be in the mix next year with a good hire.

Because Reitzguy said "Need to do what it takes to get Nick Hart away from GS."

I think it would be very easy to make an argument that a more desirable job would be one of the private schools in Evansville or one of the successful area public schools. I'm sure they have at least one that could be deemed qualified, I would suspect that they will look for a big name from outside the current staff first.

Many different ways to look at this.... Historically most everyone would say Reitz is a better job. As they currently sit, many would consider the GS job to be better. From my perspective, the community at GS seems to be more forgiving of any shortcomings that may occur whereas the people on the hill have extremely high expectations with little forgiveness. Reitz job would present the highest ceiling in my opinion but may currently have the lower floor. Can't wait to start hearing rumors on who is applying for this job. With Reitz bowl, facilities, history, huge booster club, rivalries and high expectations Reitz would be my dream job if I was a Head Coach. Obviously not everyone will see it that way

Gibson Southern grad Joey Paridean is now the longest tenured head coach at Evansville public school (North)

I'm sure they will look at coaches/teams that have had successful turnarounds to this point in the new PAC...

Jasper senior point guard Brooke Nottingham scored her 1000 point last night in a win vs Evansville Reitz. Brooke was the 6th Lady Wildcat to accomplish this feat and joined her brother (Tyler "TD: Nottingham) to become the first brother/sister combo to accomplish this feat at Jasper. They are my niece and nephew so I'm a little proud this morning. https://duboiscountyherald.com/b/nottingham-reaches-1000-in-senior-night-win

I was trying to figure out who was the last Central athlete to come to NP.... Castle, Mater Dei, Gibson, Mt Vernon, Day School... all of those I can think of a kid but not Central.

@DaveMosbey Any chance you will do a write up about the OT game last night between HH and NP? I went and watched the Viking wrestlers at Tell City in the PAC duals and sounds like I missed two good games (JV also went into OT.) TIA

I think if you figure in usage you can get closer to quantifying the cost. Using it 20-30 times a year at a cost of say $200k (use this number because that is what we had spent to just grass maintenance over the previous 15 years) every 15 years on sod. Compared to using it hundreds of times a year for $750k every 12 years and supposedly the initial cost is much higher than the re-surface.
