Our contestants spread their picks over five teams in Week 9. The 2A #10 Rochester Zebras were the most popular pick, and the five players who selected them received 22 points for their 36-14 win over the Maconaquah Braves. The largest margin of victory in this round belonged to the Monrovia Bulldogs in their 44-point win over the Indianapolis Scecina Crusaders, but none of our contestants picked them. They were followed closely by the 1A #12 Milan Indians, who delivered 43 points for the three players who chose them in their victory over the Madison Cubs. Four of our teams suffered defeats this week, and five played in shutout games - with two of those five (1A #10 Sheridan and Seymour) on the wrong end of the score.

It is time to crown our champion! Congratulations to Nick Jenkinson, the winner of the 2023 Hickory Husker Pigskin Pick'em! He racked up 144 points in the last three weeks of the contest to move from ninth to the top of the leaderboard. Nick's season total of 386 points earned him his first victory in the contest in his fifth season of competing. Mr. B.A. finished second with 363 points. ysuindy finished third by means of the tiebreaker over fourth place hhsdawg, both of whom had 362. Quad Runner rounds out our top five with 360 points.

The correct score for our tiebreaker this year was 199, the combined scores of the eight teams which played on September 16 at Indiana Wesleyan's Wildcat Football Stadium:

Elwood 22, Blackford 12 (34 points)
Mississinewa 35, Frankton 6 (41 points)
Madison-Grant 43, Oak Hill 19 (62 points)
Alexandria 42, Eastbrook 20 (62 points)

Ed Stachulak was the closest on the tiebreaker with his prediction of 209 points.

Here are the games for Week 9 with scores, point margins, and the number of players who picked each one:

Monrovia 44, Indianapolis Scecina 0 (44 points, no players)
Milan 43, Madison 0 (43 points, 3 players)
Hanover Central 35, Hammond Central 0 (35 points, 1 player)
Rochester 36, Maconaquah 14 (22 points, 5 players)

Seven of the teams on this year's list were ranked in the IFCA preseason polls for their class. Here is how our teams were ranked in the preseason, their records at the end of the season, and their rankings after Week 8:

Columbia City: Preseason 4A #11; Record 5-4; Week 8 unranked
Evansville Mater Dei: Preseason 2A #1; Record 2-7; Week 8 #12
Fishers: Preseason 6A #10; Record 6-3; Week 8 #10
Hanover Central: Preseason 3A #6; Record 9-0; Week 8 #4
Milan: Preseason 1A unranked; Record 6-3; Week 8 #12
Monrovia: Preseason 3A #15; Record 7-2; Week 8 unranked
Rochester: Preseason 2A #11; Record 7-2; Week 8 #10
Seymour: Preseason 5A unranked; Record 5-4; Week 8 unranked
Sheridan: Preseason 1A #5; Record 6-3; Week 8 #10

Hanover Central was the only one of our teams to finish the regular season with a perfect 9-0 record. Rochester's two losses were to teams currently ranked #6 and #13 in the IFCA Class 3A poll. Fishers' three losses came at the hands of teams currently ranked #3, #6, and #7 in the IFCA Class 6A poll. Milan's three losses were to teams currently ranked #4 in the IFCA Class 1A poll and #9 and #10 in the Class 3A poll. Monrovia recorded the largest margin of victory with a 65-point win over Phalen Academy in Week 2, and Seymour suffered the worst defeat in a 47-point loss to Bloomington South in Week 9.

Your humble contest administrator is a software developer in real life, so I wrote a computer program to determine what the best possible score would be with this year's combination of teams. It also provides a ranking among all possible outcomes for each contestant who submitted a pick in every week of the contest. With a contest like this, the number of possible combinations of picks is n!, where n is the number of teams. For nine teams, that comes to 362,880. The worst possible score is -215 (none of our players were anywhere near that bad!). The best possible score is 404, with these picks:

Week 1 - Fishers (44)
Week 2 - Monrovia (65)
Week 3 - Columbia City (49)
Week 4 - Sheridan (57)
Week 5 - Hanover Central (40)
Week 6 - Seymour (21)
Week 7 - Rochester (62)
Week 8 - Evansville Mater Dei (23)
Week 9 - Milan (43)

Here are the rankings for our players. Rank = numeric rank out of 362,880. Percentage Rank = Percentage of possible scores that are worse.

Nick Jenkinson: Score = 386, Rank = 14, Percentage Rank = 100.00
Mr. B.A.: Score = 363, Rank = 96, Percentage Rank = 99.97
ysuindy: Score = 362, Rank = 109, Percentage Rank = 99.97
hhsdawg: Score = 362, Rank = 109, Percentage Rank = 99.97
Quad Runner: Score = 360, Rank = 123, Percentage Rank = 99.97
EHS_HOOPS: Score = 353, Rank = 186, Percentage Rank = 99.95
Rob Deweese: Score = 349, Rank = 252, Percentage Rank = 99.93
Ed Stachulak: Score = 334, Rank = 634, Percentage Rank = 99.83
raiderfan32: Score = 322, Rank = 1214, Percentage Rank = 99.67
CoachC: Score = 311, Rank = 2033, Percentage Rank = 99.44
HickoryHusker: Score = 308, Rank = 2315, Percentage Rank = 99.36
thegorilla23: Score = 283, Rank = 6535, Percentage Rank = 98.20
Ranger20: Score = 263, Rank = 12995, Percentage Rank = 96.42

Nick Jenkinson's Rank of 14 means there were only 13 other possible combinations of picks (out of 362,880) which would have yielded a higher total score for the season. Well done, Nick!

I want to thank all of our players for getting their picks in on time every week, which made my job as the contest administrator much easier. Thanks to everyone who participated this season! We hope all of you will return to compete in the 2024 Hickory Husker Pigskin Pick'em!

181 Changes this year! The only years with more are 2014 (197 changes), 2007 (188 changes) and 2018 (187 changes).

[MISHAWAKA, Ind. (WSBT) — Penn High School will rename its basketball court after former boys basketball coach Al Rhodes.


Rhodes retired at the end of last season following a 42-year coaching career, spending his last 15 seasons at Penn.

He became the winningest coach in Kingsmen boys basketball history.]

The public sale of tickets for the First and Second Rounds at Gainbridge Fieldhouse went on sale this afternoon on Ticketmaster (The Great Satan)

The presale code of INDBKB is needed to access the tickets through midnight Friday night. Limit of 8 per person

Upper level corners and the upper half of the upper level sideline is what is available now.

I don't believe any lower level or mezzanine seats will ever make it to public sale unless returned by the participating schools

This is March 22 and 24. Tickets are for 3 sessions - Friday afternoon, Friday evening and Sunday single session.

In Week 8, only three different teams were selected by our contestants, with 2A #13 Evansville Mater Dei easily being the most popular. The nine players who selected the Wildcats received 23 points for their 43-20 win over the Evansville Harrison Warriors. The largest margin of victory in this round belonged to the 1A #13 Milan Indians in their 49-7 defeat of the South Decatur Cougars. 2A #11 Rochester, the only one of our teams to hold their opponents scoreless, was just behind with their 41-point shutout of the Southwood Knights. Three of our teams were on the wrong end of the score, with Columbia City suffering the worst loss of any of our teams this season in a 44-point drubbing by the 4A #11 Leo Lions. 3A #3 Hanover Central's victory over the Andrean Fighting 59ers put them one win away from completing a perfect regular season.

We had a significant change in our standings this week as Nick Jenkinson advanced five spots on the leaderboard into a tie for first place with Mr. B.A., both with 343 points. hhsdawg and ysuindy are tied for third with 340, followed by Quad Runner in fourth place with 338 points and Rob Deweese in fifth with 327. Heading into the last round we have four players with a mathematical chance of winning, so our contest will come down to the wire. Next week we will crown our champion!

Here are the games for Week 8 with scores, point margins, and the number of players who picked each one:

Milan 49, South Decatur 7 (42 points, no players)
Rochester 41, Southwood 0 (41 points, no players)
Seymour 53, New Albany 14 (39 points, 3 players)
Hanover Central 33, Andrean 9 (24 points, 1 player)
Evansville Mater Dei 43, Evansville Harrison 20 (23 points, 9 players)
Monrovia 42, Cascade 35 (7 points, no players)
Eastern (Greentown) 19, Sheridan 14 (-5 points, no players)

All players have submitted all of their picks at this point, so it will not be necessary to send an email for this week.

Your humble contest administrator will be away from his computer next weekend, so there will be a delay in publishing the final results. The final post for this season - including the announcement of our winner - should be available by Tuesday, October 17.

OSSIAN, Ind. – Tiny Ossian High School in Wells County drew the attention of the entire state in the spring of 1967. Volatile head basketball coach Art Windmiller’s Sectional ejection was such that an entire school consolidation process was put into turmoil.

Ossian battles Bluffton for Sectional title

The fall of 1968 was set to begin the first semester of newly minted Norwell High School. It was to be a consolidation of four smaller schools – Primarily Ossian and Lancaster, but also included hamlet institutions Rockcreek and Union Center.

However, the passions of an Indiana high school basketball Sectional the previous spring would place the entire process in limbo.

Coach Windmiller cuts down Sectional net in 1965

Colorful veteran coach Art Windmiller led the Ossian Bears in their farewell campaign all the way to the Sectional title game, going 17-5. Thanks in no small part to his son, Bob Windmiller, who would routinely torch the nets for 30+ points, be named an Indiana All-Star, and would later play at the University of Illinois.

The small school Bears of Ossian had enjoyed a rich basketball tradition, winning no less than six Sectional titles. Most recently in 1965 under Coach Windmiller. They even captured a Regional in 1939.

Ossian's Indiana All-Star Bob Windmiller

However, as the clock was just about to strike twelve on the 1967 Ossian Bears, things went sideways.

With just three seconds left on the clock and host Bluffton comfortably ahead, 56-46, another call went against Ossian. As Referee Don Hurst made his way to the scoring table to signal the offending party, Ossian assistant Coach Gene Felton offered a few words of critique.

Referee Hurst, who had heard way too much throughout the contest and during the especially contentious fourth quarter, whistled a technical on the assistant.

Assistant Coach Gene Felton

At this, head coach Windmiller stepped on floor and said to Referee Hurst, “Call one on me.”

Hurst Obliged him.

Coach Windmiller then stated, “Call two on me.”

Hurst obliged again and then instructed Windmiller to sit the rest of the game, or he would have to leave the gym.

Coach obeyed, but after free throws were attempted, Coach Windmiller reportedly stood back up and slowly clapped his hands in the face of the official and made further “unsportsmanlike” comments.

With three seconds left referee Don Hurst stopped the game after calling three consecutive technical fouls on bench, specifically citing “unsportsmanlike remarks” following foul calls.

Police were called to escort the Coaches and team from the floor to the locker room following the dustup.

Coach Windmiller already had a rich reputation for sideline antics. A previous incident that has been canonized in Hoosier basketball lore was so noteworthy, the IHSAA chose to include it in their decision against Ossian High School. In that instance, Coach Windmiller found himself on the sideline of a game not involving his Ossian squad. During a timeout, he reportedly scribbled some officiating advice on a piece of paper, folded it into an airplane, and sailed it onto the playing for the referees.

The end result was an odd one. Normally the basketball program would’ve been nailed the following winter, but this was an unusual circumstance. Ossian and a handful of other area schools (Lancaster, Union, and Rockcreek) were set to consolidate into newly formed Norwell that next fall.

Under this bizarre scenario, the IHSAA ruled that all Ossian sports were to be suspended from IHSAA play (pretty much immediately) from March 1967 through September 1968. Track, golf, and baseball ended forever that March for Ossian.

Amazingly the IHSAA Board of Control initially ruled to not only suspend Ossian for spring sports, but also all schools that were going to consolidate with them in the fall - As in Lancaster, Union Center, and Rockcreek wouldn’t be allowed to play spring sports either.

The IHSAA ruling stated: If Ossian High School consolidates with another school(s), the school(s) involved and resulting school(s) will also be governed by suspension.

The reality was that schools melting into Norwell that spring, as well as new Norwell in the fall, would all fall under the punishment handed down to the Ossian basketball coaching staff from that March.

Ironically, the IHSAA, in their announcement of penalty, also specifically lauded the Ossian basketball players for maintaining their decorum during the incident.

The absurdity of praising the athletes, all-the-while unilaterally punishing them as well as all other small school athletes that just happen to be consolidating with that school was beyond bizarre even for an era of a ham-handed IHSAA.

Local school officials had planned to have a merged Ossian/Lancaster baseball team for a joint summer baseball team. Those plans were also changed after the IHSAA harsh stance.

That illogic was thankfully thrown out after it was announced in April that the embattled Coach Windmiller would not get a shot at coaching the new consolidation, and the unlucky consolidating schools were not subjected to the punishment of their partner.

The power play had worked, and an entire school consolidation was nearly put on hold in the process.

Norwell would go on to hire Coach Ron Sullivan, formerly of DeMotte, to lead their newly consolidated program – free of any IHSAA storm clouds.

Art Windmiller would pass away in 2017. He was a World War II veteran, a lifelong resident of his dear Ossian, and he was a career math teacher (40 years,) drivers’ ed instructor, basketball and baseball coach. He would actually go on to referee basketball.

INDIANA -- When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock...

With apologies to James Whitcomb Riley, autumn means far more to Hoosiers than just harvest time and football games. Good Hoosier friends, that most special time of year has now arrived. Indiana high school basketball season is with us again - Our gals are just about ready to start practice!



When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock,
Good Hoosier folks get the feeling that soon neighborhood gyms will rock.
Idle hands kept heartland keyboards a-clickn' with predictions,
Pining away the summer months dreamin' smells of popcorn a-fixen'.

There's something kinda' harty-like about the atmusfere,
When the heat of summer's over and the coolin' fall is here.
It gets the blood a pumpin' and a mind a-ready to pace,
For every Indiana soul is ready for the upcoming hardwood race.

O, the balls have been a-bouncin through the long ol' offseason,
But any good Hoosier'll tell ya, AAU is just a hair short-a treason.
It's that real season that means the most under ev'ry gym light's gleam,
True sideline teachers training Hoosierland's best to be part of a team.

When that wind begins to turn and the temperature dips just a bit,
Hoosier minds start to wander, folks get to talkin' and pipes get a-lit.
Indiana cafes, barbershops and water'n holes in tiny little hamlets,
Start harkenen back to by gone days of glory teams and near miss damn-its.

Legends, icons, heros -- goats, groans, and shouts,
Stories of exploits and near misses 3-2-1 in-and-outs.
Help'n all us Hoosier souls paint that valuable background picture,
Givin' folks a sense of past and makin' this season much richer.

Then the balls'll start a-bouncing, like they do each annu'll fall,
The sound'll fall soft on Hoosier ears like a fav'rble chargin' call.
E'vn with the changes that have shaken our great game,
You know what's coming, and boy is sure seems the same.

Thoughts drift to that walk from the car and parking lot,
Distant crowd noise, gym windows glow, ticket'n hand pressed hot.
And with your corn a-pop'n and dear friends sittin' near,
Any feller'll be tempted to drop a Hoosier tear.

I don't know how to tell it-but ef such a thing could be,
If God himself would come a-calling and want to visit me.
No host could ask for more - a game, a ticket, a gym, and a clock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock.

With 397 teams entered, the matchups for the 52nd Annual IHSAA Volleyball State Tournament were announced to an online audience via IHSAAtv.org this evening.

Host sites will announce their respective playing schedules this week and the IHSAA will populate the MaxPreps.com tournament brackets that will be linked at IHSAA.org. Sectional play begins on Tuesday, Oct. 10, and continues through Saturday, Oct. 14, at 64 sites across the four enrollment classifications.

Those sectional champions will advance to a four-team regional on Saturday, Oct. 21, to be followed by a single semi-state round on Saturday, Oct. 28. The four state championship matches at Ball State University’s Worthen Arena are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 4.

Four teams were selected by our players in Week 7, and again there was a clear favorite. Nine of them picked Seymour and received 24 points for the Owls' 56-32 win over the Jennings County Panthers. The largest margin of victory belonged to the 2A #13 Rochester Zebras in their 62-point shutout of the Northfield Norsemen, the only game this week in which one of our teams held their opponents scoreless. Four of our teams suffered losses in Week 7: 2A #14 Evansville Mater Dei, 1A #16 Milan, Monrovia, and 4A #14 Columbia City. 3A #4 Hanover Central remains our only undefeated team.

Our leaderboard looks much as it did last week due to the popularity of the Seymour pick, but we did have one new name that entered the top five in this round. Mr. B.A. still stands alone in first place with 320 points, and hhsdawg and ysuindy are still tied for second with 317. Quad Runner is next with 315 points in fourth place. Nick Jenkinson made the most improvement this week, moving up four spots to join Rob Deweese in a tie for fifth with 304 points. These six contestants are separated by only 16 points with just two weeks remaining in the contest!

Here are the games for Week 7 with scores, point margins, and the number of players who picked each one:

Rochester 62, Northfield 0 (62 points, 2 players)
Seymour 56, Jennings County 32 (24 points, 9 players)
Sheridan 37, Delphi 14 (23 points, no players)
Fishers 29, Franklin Central 23 (6 points, 1 player)
Hanover Central 31, Hobart 26 (5 points, no players)
Evansville Bosse 36, Evansville Mater Dei 20 (-16 points, 1 player)
Providence 41, Milan 13 (-28 points, no players)
Indianapolis Lutheran 49, Monrovia 14 (-35 points, no players)
East Noble 35, Columbia City 0 (-35 points, no players)

Wonder what a mess high school athletics will become when NIL money trickles down. Until then, just a cautionary tale to all those Indiana basketball coaches that routinely participate in this harmless practice. I used to give out a case of Big Red soda to the hardest working player of the game. Little did I know I had made that middle schooler a pro athlete.

"It should be understood that the NCAA’s NIL does NOT apply to current high school student-athletes," the memo stated via NJ.com. "Current high school student-athletes CANNOT earn money or accept money (cash, check, Venmo, Apple Pay, gift cards, checks, etc.) as a result of their connection to their high school team.

The pairings for the 30th Annual IHSAA Boys and Girls Soccer State Tournaments were drawn and announced this evening with 305 boys teams and 274 girls teams, both record numbers, set for competition next week.

The 274 girls teams top the previous high of 272 set last year and in 2019. The 305 boys teams equal last year’s record number.

https://www.ihsaa.org/sites/default/files/documents/092423.SoccerPairings.pdf

Our contestants picked five different teams this week, but the clear favorite was 1A #7 Sheridan. The Blackhawks proved that to be a wise choice with their 50-point takedown of the Taylor Titans, the largest winning margin in this round. For the second consecutive week, none of our teams held their opponents scoreless. Three of our teams were on the wrong end of the score - Rochester, 2A #12 Evansville Mater Dei, and previously unbeaten 4A #7 Columbia City. That leaves the 3A #5 Hanover Central Wildcats as our only undefeated team.

We have a new leader! Mr. B.A. moved up four positions this week to take sole possession of first place with 296 points. hhsdawg and ysuindy remain in a tie for second only three points back with 293. Quad Runner advanced from sixth place to fourth with 291 points, and Rob Deweese dropped back one spot into fifth with 280. Two-thirds of the season have now been completed. Only three games remain to determine our winner!

Here are the games for Week 6 with scores, point margins, and the number of players who picked each one:

Sheridan 56, Taylor 6 (50 points, 6 players)
Hanover Central 56, Munster 21 (35 points, 2 players)
Monrovia 45, Beech Grove 18 (27 points, no players)
Milan 44, Eastern Hancock 19 (25 points, 1 player)
Seymour 41, Brownstown Central 20 (21 points, no players)
Fishers 21, Avon 13 (8 points, 3 players)
Peru 34, Rochester 23 (-11 points, no players)
New Haven 21, Columbia City 7 (-14 points, 1 player)
Evansville North 30, Evansville Mater Dei 0 (-30 points, no players)

Some of you have met my son Alex at the state finals and know he is a sports nut (I plead guilty). You may not know his college major was ACMS (Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics). He also coaches high school basketball and baseball.

No real surprise then that he has made the effort to develop a ratings system for several Indiana high school sports - soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball.
He recently updated the fall sports on his website. Here's the link if you want to look.

Everyone that has ever taught understands this, but this video will be tough to come back from. The part where they seperate, and Coach goes back over to him is going to be difficult to defend.

Now they are considered two different sports because of court size and number of players. I understand it, but did they just open up a can of worms. Are club volleyball programs going to start sand volleyball leagues during the season? Are AAU programs going to start having 3 on 3 games on Sundays, 7 on 7 flag football tournaments? You can now play slow pitch softball tournaments on the weekends during baseball.

How much do you have to change the rules to make it different?
