Guest DT Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 What has happened to the once proud Shelbyville football program? Numbers down significantly. Uncompetitive on the field. Apathetic fan base. Broken feeder system Poor administrative support? All signs of pending contraction. This is a big one. + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian06 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I literally about posted this to you the other night. These have to be record numbers on the points allowed vs points scored. It’s like 325-7 on the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Last 10 games dating back to last year. 646-29. Why the sharp decline after Patrick Parks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DT Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Very sad. I remember Coach Parks. Tough as nails, and his kids were just the same. What happened? And how did it go downhill so fast.? 5 minutes ago, Olympian06 said: I literally about posted this to you the other night. These have to be record numbers on the points allowed vs points scored.

I saw 2 0-4 teams playing and thought it would be competitive. Not 67-0. WOOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Is it in poor taste to speculate what the New Pal/Shelbyville score would have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game is in a week and half. New Pal has Greenfield this Friday followed by Shelbyville, not exactly murderers row. But then neither is the entire HHC Edited September 25, 2019 by dmizers3 Addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Decatur is now traveling to Shelbyville that week so I assume New Pal now has an open date or will be looking for a new opponent.

Not saying you're at all wrong but I don't understand how that can happen to a conference game. Shelbyville should probably be kicked out of the league for stuff like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) A lot going on here. Condensed version is it sounds like Shelbyville would forfeit the conference game, and scheduled a game with North Decatur under the impression NP had another game lined up.. They do not. If New Pal cannot find a Week 7 opponent, Shelbyville will be at New Pal on October 4. Edited September 25, 2019 by CaptainHook 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen Tundra Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I say we create a new six team conference. New Palestine, Columbus East, Columbus North, Southport, Bloomington North, and Bloomington South. Maybe throw in one or two other teams. Helps relieve both HHCs from being beat on every year by New Palestine and Columbus East while the core-four Conference Indiana schools get better competition than what Terre Haute North and Terre Haute South can provide. Full disclosure: I'm only kidding but it's still fun to think about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast Eddy 14 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Conference Indiana would add way to much travel for the schools. I agree with captain, that football is the only lopsided sport in the conference. It will balance with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that's fine if there doesn't really need to be a switch, but the travel shouldn't be the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cow Bell Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 N/P could join the EIAC big boys...Connersville. Rushville join Shelbyville somewhere. EC would finally get some worth playing.
