New Haven has never won a regional title. They have been playing in the tournament since 1922. Darn you Rico! Gotta bring up my Bulldogs and losing the Regional title in 1991 on a last second shot by Whitko. That New Haven team was strong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seeking6 8,777 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Sounds like GreenCastle is unable to host tomorrow. At least that's what is being reported this morning. Sounds like another hectic day on the high school level. Edit-Update-Sounds as if no Southport either. Moved to Lawrence Central.

Seeking6 8,777 Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Anyone hear what Dakich said about Scottsburg coach getting fired? I guess he's under investigation for his ripping the board for the decision. I don't have any background on the situation but it seems firing a guy after back to back winning seasons seems personal I guess. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2020/03/20/emmis-investigating-dan-dakichs-comments-scottsburg-coach-firing/2881793001/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep....and again I have no idea what's going on there....but you would think personal attacks to kids would be out of his arsenal. Of course he went after Romeo and folks which is why he was suspended. Problem is I think his ratings are through the roof so maybe Emmis just looks the other way. Indy radio right now is just plain horrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was saying an imaginary conversation between coach and school board, you son son does not play because he is a pain in the rear and w methhead. Technically not calling anyone that just a poor attempt at humor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FKIM01 7,512 Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Poor attempt at humor and as usual, Dakich is a loudmouth idiot, but from what I've read, sounds like the school board is full of idiots as well. Would love to hear why the coach was really fired as it sounds like his team success was definitely trending up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dont cry or get offended when people call my town Methport instead of Westport, Isn't Scottsburg the one on LIVEPD all the time??? Yeah..really really bad down there. Maybe not the worst in the state but pretty darn bad...not only do you get the Indiana druggies but it seems the Kentucky ones come up there too lol from the show as I'm always seeing Kentucky plates lol. Just an example 20 years ago or more I was a Manager working for Walgreens when I got out of college. I got moved from Indy to the Terre Haute store. OMG... this is before Sudafed was limited by the state. We limited it ourselves because if not we couldn't get enough in. We sold 3 boxes of 96ct Sudafed a day to customers and two 8pks packages of lithium batteries a day. Needless to say we would get Sudafed and batteries by the dozens of cases (cases holding hundreds of packages). We was the #1 selling Walgreens in the entire country with one in KC a close second. People would try to change clothes and rebuy it lol. Sad sad affair but needless to say as soon as I could get out of that town I did. Oh the life lessons I learned there in the few short years lol. But there are just places like that in the US unfortunately. Heck my college room mate was from Austin,IN so I know all too well about the area. That said...probably can't get away with saying stuff like that in todays sue happy age Dan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
