XStar 87 Posted January 24 I think I saw that Penn and Mishawaka won't be playing in 2020 or 2021. Is that true? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fairfield02 8 Posted January 25 I think the new divisions in the NIC football conference seem to be spot on. In 2018, the NIC was a tough conference, and this will just help the conference stay competitive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DT 334 Posted January 25 I can see Mishawaka wanting to distance themselves from The NIC. There is always a little bad blood and some animosity when a school leaves a conference, especially an original member like MHS. They are likely looking at the NLC as a fresh new start.

That rivalry is as good as I've seen in high school sports. Got to be disappointing for many players on both sides in the Class of '22 who may never get the chance to play in it. I'm surprised nobody has found a way to get that game scheduled still. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minor renavations at most and it has held over 2000 students before. I know, I was there Move LaSalle kids to Washington. I am not as familar with the elementary set ups so I don't know what to do with them. So you would have 2 5a and 1 4a with the high schools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnny U 11 Posted January 28 Combine Riley and Washington, which would give you an enrollment approximately the same as Adams. Allow Clay to remain a Fine Arts Magnet and eliminate athletics at Clay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnny U 11 Posted January 29 Congratulations to Todd Stammich, new Washington head football coach. Washington is fortunate to get a coach of Todd's caliber. Todd has the ability to not only get kids to play football but to develop and keep them out for the whole season. Are we going to have another team in the NIC playing "Bart Ball"?

Indian72 23 Posted January 31 Last night on Sports Beat they had an interview with the Mishawaka AD Penn is off the football schedule in 2020 - Mishawaka will open with Marian and then play East Noble followed by 7 conference games Marian is the opening game for now - he did not mention how many years. When they joined the NLC they had week 1-2 open to play Penn - Penn and MHS have been talking. Penn wants to keep opening with Valpo In 2020 Penn has a contract with Laporte MHS is open to play Penn in week 2 and Dean said he would sign a 10 year contract to make it happen. He is hoping that in 2021 they might play again in football but Penn has to have the same feeling Talks have been ongoing In certain other sports they will continue to play Penn if it can be worked in 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always assumed Mishawaka would simply slide into Elkhart Memorial's spot in the NLC schedule (out of conference games week 1 and week 6). If they are going to be playing East Noble in week 2, I wonder if that means the Concord vs. Jimtown game will also be moving to week 2 and Mishawaka and Concord will play week 6. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
