INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL HALL OF FAME: NOW DIGITAL

[Coach Nowlin]

You can check it out here at its new home on IFCA

Long story, but Richmond on site no longer, and IFCA has done a great job returning many great artifacts to schools and creating this website and tremendous PODCASTS as well.   

ENJOY

There is way too much information on the inductees page. Or way too many photos I should say.

 

On a gigabit internet connection at school it is one of the slowest loading sites I've visited in a long time. They really need to index it into many pages broken up by the alphabet. It doesn't need to be a page for every letter (maybe some), but it can't be one single continuous page. .

It looks really nice but it has some issues.

I realize the 4A North is not great this year...but....Mishawaka may be a bit of a stretch as the Northern representative.  I could see them losing 4-5 games during the season this year.

I just scanned through the members of the HOF, all worthy. But I wonder why Cathedral's Otis Shannon isn't included?  He held several rushing records for many years.

Process there:  Best practice is go thru Cathedral Football, maybe Coach Peebles, who may still have connections to Coach Streif

Rick is now the athletic director at Cathedral, so they have a lot of contact between 'em.  I guess they have to start the nominating process?

Yes, the IFCA HOF committee has the overall Board who gives the green light of all prospective applicants.   

For instance, Coach Chris Meeks went into the IFCA HOF 2 years ago.  I filled out the application through Region 4, then the Region 4 HOF committee reviewed it with other applicants, his application made it pass the Region 4 committee and went to the Big Board of which they also gave it the go ahead.  From there, the process of induction gets turned back over to the individual involved.  In Region 4, we are fortunate to partner with the National Football Foundation Joe Tiller Chapter and many choose to go in during the honors brunch held in June every year.    The last 3 Rensselaer Guys who got the nod, Coach Chris Meeks, player Danny Brandenburg, did that through Purdue, Danny's father Steve Brandenburg chose to get inducted halftime of a RCHS game 6 or 7 years ago.
