That includes fall sports. That’s an awfully big domino to fall. I think it was brought up in another thread but not here. As many know North Central is actually like a small college in terms of student population....3700 or so. If reaction is the basis or judge of anything I'd say 8 of 10 parents are outraged. Ripple effects we all know. Parents staying home. Have to lose jobs or choose to stay home and watch kids vs working,etc... No clue on season. We'll see what happens 4-5 miles up the road.

thirdgenhoosier 262 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Apparently many of the Marion County schools are expected to follow Washington Township’s lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steubenhoosier 3,195 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Both the states of California and Texas, large schools at least, have suspended the start of football season. Obviously, those are two very "hot spot" areas, but wouldn't surprise me if many other states follow suit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think people don't want to lose 2 seasons of the same sport, and moving football to the spring would likely do that to baseball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However.... again IMHO.... better to lose parts of a season.... than a young player. No doubt, it is a tough way to go, either way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the IHSAA does not postpone the tournament, those teams will be going straight to the postseason. Down here in the southern part of the state, we have not received any official word about delays or postponements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5fouls 12,729 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 It appears the Marion County Health Department may be backtracking a bit, Sports can continue to practice and the situation will be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they had it in the spring you would have players who were college recruit sitting out the season. Also it seems like some players are graduating mid term and going to college in January. I would bet if college was played in the spring you would lose all NFL prospects on your team because they work out for the draft in the spring. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
btownqb 5,572 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Trying so hard not to be negative... this is taking its toll on me and my players.. but... kind of a cool story yesterday at practice... I am our teams fullbacks coach... and my position group is STRUGGLING(youth/inexperience/lack of practice/talent) for the first time in ever....so I'm in my head it was a good idea to show them how to position themselves on a certain blocking scheme, had a kid run half speed at me "blocked" him yada yada... well in the process I caught his face mask right below my eye and I have an AWESOME black guy eye right now lol its impressive and if I can get a good picture I'll post it. The kids absolutely thought it was the greatest thing in the world lolol Silly story but it's at least bringing a smile to their faces and thats wonderful to see. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steubenhoosier 3,195 Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Fullback is becoming a “lost” position in the day of spread, multi-wideout offenses. Glad to see some old school football, but kinda surprised Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to see some old school football, but kinda surprised We are shotgun single wing/spinner series. Smash mouth with little bit of flare to it. Top 10 in the state in scoring in 10 of the last 27 years and 6 Top 10s in margin of victory. Center Grove, but not as traditional wing T as them and in the Gun.

On his ESPN show, Peyton Manning did an episode on the “death of the fullback.” He interviewed Csonka and showed the clip of that play 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
