No talk of jet sweeps, safety blitzes, even fumblerooskis or any other type of gadget play. Got a cool nickname? Let’s hear it! What did you think of the Packers-Eagles game last night? I think the refs were next-level bad, but that’s just me. Any insight for any games tonight? I like Lowell over Highland, South Newton or Covington, and Zionsville to So X's and O's, "Nuts and Bolts", are the only thing that should be discussed regarding Indiana High School football on this forum. Got it. You know Gipper if you don't want to read what I or DT type there is this handy "ignore" feature where you can keep yourself in ignorance for the rest of your GID stay. Go ahead and use it, something tells it wouldn't be the first time for you...... As for game insights: Frankfort at Western Boone: WEBO names the score, starters will play maybe one quarter. The Hot Dogs will struggle to to have positive yards on offense, with it looking like their starting QB, and one of their best athletes, will miss his second game. Eastern at Clinton Central: The 5-0 Comets simply have too much offensive firepower in this HHC contest. Eastern 48, Bulldogs 21. Delphi at Clinton Prairie: These teams look like somewhat mirror images of each other. CP gives up a lot of points but is scoring an average of 41 per contest. Delphi has a more stout defense, but their offense has struggled. I'll go with the home team: Gophers: 28, Oracles 21. Rossville at Delphi, Oct. 1. - Looks like a close contest this late in the soccer season between two struggling teams. The Hornets have struggled to score all season, so I'll take Delphi over Rossville 2-1. Edited September 27, 2019 by Muda69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gipper Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 All I know is that sports have been the “thing” to do at high school forever. Play or watch the game or not. Your call. Gipper out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishuncle411 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 4 hours ago, Muda69 said: So if an Indiana high school football program at say the 4A enrollment classification consistency has numbers in the 40-65 range for grades 9-12, consistently posts 2-8, 1-9, 0-10 season records, and consistently has point differentials of around 300 points allowed vs. 50 points scored then that is a "successful high school football program". Got it. It’s up to each individual school district to evaluate success and make necessary adjustments to schedules, conference affiliation, and how they choose to support (or not support) EC activities.

Play or watch the game or not. Your call. Gipper out. This is changing. Many kids who used to play football are opting out for other activities, or to get a job. A friend of mine has a 17 year old son who quit football to work at chipotle. He has never regretted his decision. He could have earned a scholarship as a linear to a small school somewhere.

I've never had a player tell me they regretted playing football. I've had multiple people come up to me and tell me they regret NOT playing. Our numbers on our team are up, and have been the last four years. This is the first year in like the last ten years that the total number of football players has regressed from the year before (nationally speaking). The number is still higher than any year in the 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletes, affects the overall numbers and competitiveness of the high school football team? Socioeconomic factors have to be a consideration when it comes to contraction. 7 minutes ago, JustRules said: This is not a new decision. Students have been making this decision for years.
