Seems like like it’s Independent, join the PAC or even join the WIC. But they also say they might stay (even though I think they leave). There’s also speculation of another school swooping into their place, mainly Gibson Southern. I don’t know, I’m sure we will have an answer before Summer practices. But it looks like the change won’t be until 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the drives are shorter in the PAC though. WIC already has 11 teams so they'd make 12. That's a huge conference. They have a rivalry already with Sullivan. West Vigo used to play Lincoln every year in baseball but hasn't lately. PAC makes a lot more sense for VL imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think GS will join the SIAC, but schedule some of the schools in our 1 week non conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1901 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 After some thought, way too early SIAC preseason rankings: 1. Mater Dei (Coach Goebels knows how to win) 2. Jasper (They always find a way) 3. Memorial (Returns a lot on Offense, Defense is questionable) 4. Castle (Really depends on their whole QB problem, since they will move a lot higher) 5. North (I think North gets a winning season, played some close games last year) 6. Reitz (Slowly getting there, Defense should be improved this season) 7. Bosse (Mullen is heading them to the right direction) 8. Central (from the sounds of it, they will be down for a while) 9. Harrison (Going to be some time rebuilding the program from their glory days) 10. VL (Completely up in the air, pretty sure they were Senior heavy last year) 1-4 are all interchangeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was about a decade over due, but it looks great! It will actually open for track in just a few weeks. Edit: It's not actually a new addition. The entire facility is completely new from what you see in the pics to concessions, locker rooms, everything.

We got a state grant to pay for because it is so expensive. I think we were one of the first in our area to have turf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend all this $ and eventually might just go back to all grass. We studied this about 15 years ago. Back then it wasn't really all that expensive. The expense was in the installation, but then there was virtually zero upkeep and maintenance. The money schools would pay to upkeep grass fields over about 8 years was about the same to install the turf. So, yes, there is expense over the short term, but a wash over the lifetime of the turf field. That was the last time I looked at the financial side so I have no idea what the current numbers would look like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
