He has what to do with this? Besides leaving there for whatever reasons and being part of a State Championship team.

Yes, that was a sweet deal for "an extremely reliable source "!!
Actually ML, if your JV coach this winter, I will stop by and say hello sometime!!

Thanks for your comments, Commandment. I appreciate your insights. Please understand, I don't fear and actually quite welcome all of the changes that have been afoot with regards to school choice and what some believe will lead to all-out recruiting wars. In fact, both of my school-age children will be going to different schools this fall, based upon the choices my wife and I made. It does, however, undermine even more any confidence I had in the class system currently in use that relies solely on enrollment and not one of many other possibly more important factors that could be used to determine classes. That is why (and I'm saying this to anyone, not just you) I bring these things up.

Well CMA is and always will be a different school no doubt. But the incredible ability to offer 1/3 of its student body financial aid is an amazing thing in todays world. The shame is that not more parents from Indiana and the midwest don't take advantage of that for their children and their children's education. You know its just as easy for an Indiana kid to apply for that aid as a Canadian or a Korean kid. But we know what would happen if the Indiana kid did that...scandal, IHSAA inquiries, dirty pool, foul, etc!! Especially if he was an athlete! Lot of good things going on at Culver as you might have guessed from the article. Thanks for your input and good luck to Maconaquah...we used to play you guys reguarly in football! Miss that game.....

He wasn't who I was referring to in that post. I was referring to the man that is still there now and above me. It looks like I'll have that position. That'd be great if you did I'd love to shoot the breeze about basketball and what not with you. PM me sometime if you'd like.

Yeah, I'm sure many schools are trying to get Maconaquah on their schedules these days, especially for Homecoming! Not much positive happening up there right now. I actually cover all of the MIC plus Kokomo and a few other area schools (12 or 13 total in our Koko Trib territory). I also keep one eye open for Waverly Neer up there, as I know her dad from his time at Western. It's a beautiful campus and I enjoy the drive up for XC regional every year now. Good luck.

Myers will be gone to LL, Cher will be back.

Chier, Brescasin, and Myers all back to CMA. Nice nucleus for a new coach. Still don't know who that is going to be!! Nice to see them choose academics and total school life and future over coach and just basketball!!

Hickory Husker is stating that Mark Galloway has indeed been named CMA's new basketball coach!

Good for him.

" I was told from an extremely reliable source that any new player to CMA that wasn't a freshman wasn't going to be eligible to play. Not sure how that would work since it happens basically evrywhere else. "


Found out this weekend that this rule change was rescinded by the IHSAA pending review so now these students are once again eligible to play. Don't really get myself what has been going on, but its good for us, so I am not gonna complain!
