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)

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?

Four teams were chosen by our contestants in Week 5, with less of a consensus than in prior rounds. The most popular pick was the Milan Indians, who had the largest margin of victory in their 49-6 declawing of the Greenwood Christian Cougars. Nearly as many players chose the 3A #5 Hanover Central Wildcats, who defeated the Kankakee Valley Kougars by 40 points. None of our teams held their opponents scoreless this week, the first time that has happened this season. Three teams suffered losses in this round (Seymour, 2A #8 Evansville Mater Dei, and 6A #6 Fishers). Hanover Central and 4A #7 Columbia City remain our only undefeated teams.

After the middle game of the season, EHS_HOOPS remains our leader with 263 points. hhsdawg and ysuindy are five points back in a tie for second with 258. Rob Deweese dropped two spots to fourth place with 255 points, and Mr. B.A. completes our top five with 246.

Here are the games for Week 5 with scores, point margins, and the number of players who picked each one:

Milan 49, Greenwood Christian 6 (43 points, 5 players)
Hanover Central 47, Kankakee Valley 7 (40 points, 4 players)
