Fballfan15 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 42 minutes ago, gonzoron said: I'll be surprised if that's the only thing they complain about before the week is over. There's always the perennial "Heights players living in Tipton County" story brought up. (There are at least 2 that I know of this year, they're brothers. .) And I always make it a point every year during game week to walk my dog the 100 yards or so into Tipton County so he can leave them a nice "gift". The real question is, will Heights players make their way to the Tipton field tomorrow night? They skipped last year, can they make it 2 in a row? As for the game, Heights is playing great lately and Tipton has been hit hard by the injury bug. 3 weeks ago I would have said Tipton by however much they want. Now, I think we will have a great ball game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not. That's one tradition that needs to END. It's embarrassing. If they do, I'll know who it was. Our manager knows everything about every player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Nowlin Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I believe some vandalism of sorts: Painting of rocks, leaving rocks, messing with fake graveyards.... Any Faulkners to plant flags or axes or whatever it was on midfield? Man that was what, 12 years ago maybe?? Im OLD Great Rivlary, 2 schools, I think 9 miles apart. Injury Bug: Each year Tipton gets hit bad with that. Some serious bad luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury Bug: Each year Tipton gets hit bad with that. Some serious bad luck The “midfield” incident was in 2010 Regional Heights vs Chatard at Emmerich Manual HS. Chatard places a sledgehammer at midfield during warmups. Heights player moved it. They beat us 49-7 I think it was. Nick Martin as the sledgehammer after warmups.

I believe Coach Nowlin is referring to the incident in 2005 when Heights beat Tipton in the last couple minutes of a sectional game and a certain mother of a player came onto the field after and planted something on it. To be honest, I can't remember what it was that she planted. I've always thought that time period was when the rivalry was at its peak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Sagarin Tipton is favored by 11 plus they are highly ranked and beat a very solid Central Catholic team. I say Tipton 35 Hamilton Heights 7. Then would Tipton represent that side of the conference for the Hoosier Conference Championship in Week 9? I could see them and West Lafayette being a shootout! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
