New facilities should be ready to go for week 1.

This has ZERO chance of happening.

Ill take that bet warrior

Picking Carroll to reach Semi-State was likely the worst prediction I've made this year. The Tiger fans on the gridirondigest are suggesting Warsaw played flawless and kept Carroll off the field with Bart Ball and buring extensive amounts of clock. Apparently, the Warsaw starting QB was making his ...

I think Chesterton for sure gives us a fight but I think we win 28-10

Weather in the Fall always a concern. With most of the games on field turf vs grass, it’s not that big of a concern this week. Now if it rains during the game, it’s a different story. When looking at the pairings for Friday, the only one that stuck out to me was WL @ RC. RC field is grass and will ...

Yeah, I’m not talking about inside zone at the pro level. And I know what duo is. Again, don’t know how Valpo coaches it, but a lot of teams coach inside zone as a horizontal movement play. One of them being Coach Ralph down at New Pal, whose teams are the best inside zone teams in the state by a c...

Zone runs were created at the NFL level to take advantage of smaller, faster lineman. Can’t speak for how Valpo coaches it, but most zone schemes aim for horizontal movement, rather than vertical movement. Running Inside Zone blocking scheme is where each lineman is responsible for blocking their p...

Yes, they have been more balanced run pass with good rb’s like Bowen the last 2 years. Walsh the 2-3 seasons before Bowen. This year was just a combination of inexperience and lack of talent at both oline and running back. Lack of size arguably could be factor but having said that they had a 6’7” 3...

Jay Novak was OL coach for a few years before going to CCSJ and I’ve got a lot of respect for him. During his tenure the OL was undoubtedly the best it was during the Skinner era, but still it was mediocre at best at times. These past two seasons have been tough to watch in terms of OL play (sorry,...

I think they are in their 3rd or fourth different line coach in his time there. Is finding quality offensive line coaches that hard? Must be. I believe it’s a combination of coaching technique, offensive scheme, talent and mindset. Also contributing this year was a complete lack of an even average ...
