Jasper has their starting QB out and their #1WR/DB out, those are the only 2 I know about. They also had like 5 fumbles too. Harrrison does have a couple of nice DBs also. Harrison wasn’t projected to be good this season, sounds like they were on all cylinders last night and benefited from Jasper’s mistakes and injuries. The North game will tell if they are legit or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 240 boys or so.... with 60 of those playing football, 10-12 cross country, 8-10 tennis. Thats 80-90 boy athletes right there, that already have a sport. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that’s still basically 150 boys with nothing to play. If there was a youth program much of those other kids might play. Just surprised because I see much smaller schools in other parts of the country play soccer. Just saying…surprised more schools don’t offer it. Much better chance for a kid to get a soccer scholarship than some of those other sports. Edited August 27, 2022 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 A soccer ball is probably about $10 from Wal mart. Procure some road cones and gtg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start up would certainly involve a big commitment from a youth program…but agree it would be a worthwhile endeavor. Most lucrative and popular sport in the world…one where you don’t even need to be 6’6 or bench press 225 10 times which honestly is perfect for a small school who may not have the kids with the size to feel like they would be competitive in sports like basketball or football but could be very competitive in a sport like soccer. For every Adonis like Rinaldo there is another superstar like Messi who is 5’7 (maybe in his cleats) and a buck fifty….and perhaps the greatest we’ve ever seen. I think it would be a worthwhile endeavor for schools to adopt….especially in a state who has one of the most historic college programs in the country yet all we want to do is shove a ball in their hands instead of at their feet lol. This is from a guy that played football and basketball in high school but likely would have benefited a greater deal from playing a different sport because I was skinny kid 6’2 and could run for days but didn’t have neither the size or strength to play the other sports to an elite level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 You can always count on at least two things when a high school coach's poll is released each week: 1) Some team mistakenly getting ranked because they're right next to the team that should have been chosen on an alphabetized list. This week, the honor goes to Eastern Pekin, who got votes in the 2A poll after winning for the first time in 3 years last week. Their votes probably should have gone to Eastern Greentown, but to be honest, I have no idea why they get votes every year. 2) Fans b*tching and moaning about how Team A is ranked above Team B even though Team B beat Team A. Fort Wayne Dwenger is #8 in 5A while Fort Wayne North is #9. North beat Dwenger 32-27 last week. Never really understood why people so worked up over this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don’t know why anyone would get upset. Polls are subjective…and everyone’s opinions are going to probably differ. Plus it all gets settled on the field anyways. That said if I’m a 16 year old I’m sure it would matter as motivation but for the rest of us…I mean we can’t even get close to agreeing on college or professional team rankings much less be worried how correct a high school one would be.

TheWatShot Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) The fans who were upset about Dwenger being 1 spot higher than North Side in the 5A poll can relax a bit: the AP poll released today has North Side #8 and Dwenger #10. The head-scratcher in this poll is 3A Heritage getting 8 votes after getting none last week and fresh off a 42-0 loss. I'm guessing their votes were intended for Heritage Hills.

TheWatShot Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 My alma mater was down 36-6 at the half last night. Got back within 42-29 early in the fourth quarter and had first and goal at the 3. Fumbled on the next play, then gave up a 92 yard touchdown run. Their opponent had 17 yards of offense in the second half outside of that run. Football is dumb sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted September 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Memorial had like 250 yards on the ground last night, first 200+ yard game for the Tigers this season. Passing game is still a little off, but it appears Memorial might be switching out QBs. Our starting RB opened his debut with 178 yards on 18 carries. Tigers are slowly getting there, as it appears they will be returning their top WR against Mater Dei this week.
