Fairview at Page, Franklin at Independence both moved to Thursday, Jan. 28. Regular start times.

Indy and Hillsboro both win to set up first showdown for first place in the district. Go get'em Indy!

Indy beats Arlington 23-16. Arlington scored late to make the score this close. Way to go Eagles!!!

Both teams have been so up and down all year their fan base's really don't know what to expect from either. Everyone is taking the "sit back and hope" stance on this game. Weather could again be a factor. Bring you rain gear!

If Independence beats Ravenwood, Indy is in and Ravenwood and Cordova are out?

This is a trap game for IHS. Ravenwood has always played Indy tough. The Eagles will need to play their best on Senior Night to make the playoffs.

I do know Page defeated Hume Fogg earlier this month 4-2. First time they had defeated HM.

If you looked at the Page box scores you would see they score the majority of their goals in the first half. The Page coach uses the second line players in the second half. You can't ask those players not to play hard. Nor can you ask the first team players not to play hard because they know they may only get to play in the first half. Any athelete wants to play against the best with a chance to beat them. That's how they get better and learn to compete. The Page team is a classy bunch and are not out to set records at another teams expense. No offense wiretowin, but you are passing judgement about a team's morales that you know nothing about.

Check out the attached link. This is a story on the high school pages on ESPN.com. Well deserved story about the 2 ladies highlighted and the Page girl's soccer team. http://sports.espn.go.com/highschool/ri ... id=4548431

Blackman should be better with the big post from McGavock having transferred in.

Indy Nation will be out in force this Friday. This is our first game at Hillsboro. Is the football field behind the school? This game will be close, less than a touchdown, but Indy will win.

In a differnt thread there was a mention of d-coordinator Bennett taking a leave of absence. He was not on the side-line for the MBA game. Any updates on what is happening with this situation?

Indy cannot look past any opponent this year, because their margin for error is small. If they can get the penalty bug fixed, they will be a more dominant team. The Eagles should look at this game as a payback game. Centennial beat them last year, and Indy's season was downhill from there. This can be the game where their season takes off. Let's go Eagles, you have to win 2 in a row before you can win 3 in a row.

I like Indy at home in this game. On their final drive against Brentwood they proved they can throw the ball. I'm hoping Coach Eubanks mixes up the play calling to keep MBA off balance. With MBA 2nd team QB, defense can sell out against the run. Indy by 6.

Who is the #2 qb at MBA? Is it the brother of the post player that transferred to MBA in January 2009? I think his last name is Howard.

This was a great high school football game. Lots of swings in momentum making for a great fan experience. Indy hurt themselves with penalties that either stopped drives, or cost them possession of the ball. The 4th quarter was the killer. Indy, punting from their own end zone recovered a muffed punt on the Brentwood side of the 50. Play was called back because someone one the o-line moved. Next punt gets returned for a touchdown. Indy 14- 7. On the next series if Indy scores it may have put the game away. I am admittedly going to sound like a homer here. The indy Nation endured a couple questionable calls by the refs during the game. On this crucial series, Indy has moved the ball into Brentwood territory looking in control. Heckman runs right for a short gain, and gets stacked up by a host of Bruin defenders. Whistles are blowing, refs are running to the pile, and one Bruin defender uses Heckman's head to twist him back peeling Heckman's helmet off. This clearly happened after the whistle, but no call was made. Side judge was in clear view. 15 yd penalty would have put Indy deep in Bruin territory. For the Indy Nation, an unfortunate no call, after enduring many yellow flags our way. Indy still lost this game with missed tackles. It looked like the defense wore out in the 4th quarter. It's a shame the Tennessean gave this game no coverage in this morning's paper.

Brentwood has a lot of returning starters. They will go undefeated in league play. Indy is no better than 4th behind Franklin and Ravenwood.

I saw about 3 quarters of the Indy scrimmage with Dickson. Heckman did not finish the 1st quarter because of a banged up shoulder. This could be trouble with as much as he carries the ball. Linebackers played poorly, bad reads and tackling. One of the cornerbacks got beat consistanly, they will need to find another option. Indy's line is big, but they don't over power their opponents as you would think they might. There was a semblance of a running game, though the coaches should scrap the pitch plays. Both quarterbacks made poor decisions and bad pitches resulting in fumbles. Passing game was okay. Receivers ran mostly short routes, curls, outs, slants, and were getting open. QB execution was just average. Team still has a ways to go on both sides of the ball.

Tennessean ran an article this morning stating Darryl Hammond, former Nashville Kat, has joined the football staff. If memory serves, Hammond won the Iron Man Award during his playing days. Lots of new blood on the coaching staff should energize the program.

I know Issac is at Buffalo, is Chris playing college ball?

What do you think about Kevin Dyson joining the coaching staff? I hear he will also be a teacher at IHS. This will make him available to the team full-time. He may offer some wrinkles to the offense.

Independence was there and went 5-3, should have been 7-1. Best team I saw was Clarkrange. Saw some very athletic teams that could not shoot. Saw some coaches with a little too much of Bobby Knight in them. Very enertaining camp.

Thanks for the reply. I am currently reading "Stuff". Interesting book. I like the way the author teaches the game. This is what has drawn my interest about the camp. I would expect scrimmaging, but I was hoping for more drill oriented work related to the classroom work.

I have heard Point Guard College is a great basketball camp, but all the info is second-hand. The website is great and offers great testimonials. Does anyone in the CoachT Nation have first-hand knowledge?
