The Southwood Knights will end the reign of Luers. Two years ago Northfield loses in overtime, last year North Miami leads with 5 minutes to go in the game. This year the TRC gets the job done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, apologies to all the folks on here who aren't from the Daviess/Martin county area. You must wonder if we don't have anything better to do - and frankly we really don't, which probably at least partially explains why HS hoops is such a hotbed around here. However, there has been a lot of tangential mention of signage/pictures/booklets at Barr-Reeve in a couple of the big threads and I felt like it deserved it's own mention because an inaccurate picture is being painted.

If you walk through the hallways at Barr-Reeve you will see the history of the school portrayed pictorially. You will see pictures of every BR valedictorian and salutatorian. You will see pictures of every all conference BR athlete - boys and girls all sports. You will see framed blow up pictures and accounts of memorable events in the history of BR high school. Yes, you will see a blown up picture and account of the BR-ND game in the sectional final of 2009. Why would you not? It is certainly history isn't it?

Every season BR produces a beautiful full color booklet (20+ pages) that documents the athletic department - staff, teams, accomplishments, history. Any high school would be proud to present something like the BR booklet. Every year there is a section describing what happened to last year's team. Of course the ending at the sectional last year is documented, why would it not be? Next year the booklet will have a section that documents whatever the team is able to accomplish this year.

The point here is that it is not the case that sour grapes BR did something special to document what happened last year. "The picture" is just one of hundreds of pictures on the walls at BR.

Kyle Neddenriep of the Indy Star noted in his blog today that the State Finals TV contract is likely to be going to WTTV (Channel 4 in Indy/Bloomington, 29 in Kokomo).

Their sister station WXIN has really been ramping up its HS sports coverage, so this doesn't come as a huge surprise. I expected WHMB/WHME and HomeTown Sports to also make bids for the contract, but the Tribune Company (which owns WXIN-59 and WTTV-4/WTTK-29) has a lot more reach and probably a little bit more financial resources.

WTTV has a nice range with transmitters serving both Indy and Kokomo. I would assume this would also allow them to create a network that would also have stations in Fort Wayne, South Bend, the Region, possibly Terre Haute and Louisville/Jeff/New Albany. It also is carried on a lot more of the state's cable providers.

It is VITAL that the IHSAA get back onto broadcast TV in some form. One of the biggest mistakes they made was the ICN deal, one they were locked into even after Insight (which initially created the deal) left the state and sold out to Comcast, which basically just was a caretaker of the deal.

A legitimate source informed me that Princeton Coach Weeks may be looking to leave Princeton. Some issues off the basketball court (that I'm not going to say on the internet because I don't know if they are true) may have caused him to reconsider his position as head coach. Is there any truth in this?

TriWest (17-5) vs. Brownstown Central (24-0)

Forest Park (17-7) vs. South Knox (13-10)

Any thoughts on the games?

What conference do you think is better from top to bottom?

Little bit of an unexpected blowout
