Gipper Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The Midwest Conference is doing just fine. There is too much legend and tradition for any member school to consider packing it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Frontier, Tri County, South Newton, West Central and North White are bad.. They are horrendous. Its one of the big reasons why Winamac and Pioneer left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But standings always do cascade. Although it’s SN’s turn at the bottom now, they’ll start winning eventually while some other team, such as NN or TC might find a hard time winning, And with Pioneer and Winamac bolting, I think it had to do with geography as well as wins and losses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Flew into Fort Lauderdale. We are about 45 minutes north of the airport. We made a wrong turn getting on expressway to hotel. Saw the Hardrock Hotel (Miami) that is shaped like a giant guitar. Very cool skyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will let you know in 14 days. 😉 Lively and back to normal. Every place we’ve been, the staffs have had masks on. I would say 95-99% of all people (non staff workers) I have seen (young-old) have not worn masks. People loving life, wisely. The sun, warm weather, salt water, and beach air has been invigorating. Where we are at in Florida, prudent measure have been taken. Everyone is doing a nice job. Gonna be hard to leave here Sunday morning. We fly back into Midway Airport (Chicago’s smaller airport). I will make sure to wave as we fly over Winamac. 👋 Airplane policies are: masks must be worn throughout the flight, except when eating the complimentary trail mix and warm can of water. I hope the “virus” knows to go dormant when we are all eating and drinking. The vacation has been a lot of fun. I highly recommend if you get the chance. Be well all.

Gipper Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 That could work. The current reincarnation of the Midwest Conference is similar to that with the exception of North Newton to Frontier—43 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipper Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 That, I feel, is how conference alignments should be: geographical proximity as well similar value systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North White and West Central drug their feet, Triton and LaVille joined. West Central then quickly moved to join, then North White i guess asked to be in after saying no to invite from hnac but was denied, then joined hoosier heartland as football only till new MWC was created.

I’m glad is getting better geographically. I’m also happy the more traditional rivalries such as NN-SN are preserved as well as the White County schools being in the same league. I wonder if White County will be renamed in light of recent events. That's probably as likely as South Newton retiring the Rebel mascot. #thesouthwillriseagain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it won’t happen but would still be a good conference. 44 minutes ago, Gipper said: I’m glad is getting better geographically.
