This is such bs. 
 

Man up and play the team in front of you. If you’re not competitive, get better. If a coach isn’t getting the job done, hold him accountable. 
 

Winning a state championship isn’t in the cards for some teams and it isn’t supposed to be, that’s what makes it special. Regardless if you are a public or private school you still have to put in the 17 weeks of work to get there and not have a bad week or half that gets you booted. 

AMEN!

That sadly is not our society anymore.    We have an incoming President who wants to pay off college student loans with his very first executive order.    People that worked two jobs, and paid back their loans - too bad.    You get a 2.0 multiplier!  

That's bad why?

Looks like they have played at Brebeuf High School (tournament) and Zionsville West Middle school (Regular Season) for home games

I've been buying lottery tickets like mad in order to raise the funds needed for a football facility.  *Hogan field at Hogan stadium at the Hogan Sports Complex coming fall 2021*

Looks like they are saving their money for the postage on the recruiting flyers. 😀

Lord, I apologize for that.

Just make sure to use lineman number's for your winning numbers. Skilled players get all the stats, lineman have winning lottery numbers! 😁

Geno Aurriema would be most proud.  I don’t believe CC is the Bama of the IHSAA.  Maybe we should salute their hard work instead of making rules for them.  What’s next, just dress nine or play with your legs tied together?

CC can run off 10 straight for all I care

Just not in 1A

Best of luck!  Also, hold a bake sale, people love bake sales.

Do you feel CC and SN are on an equal playing field, all things considered?

They would have a grand total of 1 State Championship in football if they win this weekend. Judging from how many 3-4 year starters in their Sr. class they have this year and their roster only being 37 players. I highly doubt you will see even 3 straight in 1A. I am sure their coaches will shoot for it but the odds aren't in their favor. Their current players have taken their lumps, learned their lessons, and got better. 6-5 last year making a run at State this year.

I know you talk about fair, in most non-COVID years you can find a pretty big FAIR at 38th and Fall Creek.

I do, but that’s just the way things work out sometimes.  I see what you’re trying to do and it’s noble, though.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

No  I meant South Newton, his high school.  They are 1-48 over past 5 seasons.  But Gipp feels CC has no competitive advantage over his beloved Rebels   To each his own

Home of the Rebels and my alma mater.  Although things are a little bleak for Coach Bevis and the boys right, even the darkest night shall end and the sun will rise.

Ahh I see.  I think it’s still an advantage but not nearly like it was in the past.  Kids can choose any public school they want to go to.  Whether there’s “recruiting” involved I dunno

 Did not come from an upbringing of having people pay my debt.  Does not seem "fair" to me that people that worked two jobs in college and had debt coming out, paid off their debt, but people who had no job in college and not paid their debt get it paid off.   Seems wrong on so many levels.  Like a 2.0 multiplier.  Punish those that work hard.   Yea, that is a great plan for society today.

It’s all good.  I understand the need for a level playing field.  But, I also realize sometimes life ain’t fair.   Ultimately, everything is cyclical and the ship will be righted as I can recall the days when Pioneer and even Caston were easy outs in league play while Frontier and to a lesser extent, North White were top dogs.

It is hard to think of a time where Pioneer wasn't good at football. I believe that this is year 25 of having a winning record.
