East wins in a thriller! First W in 4 years vs North! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

If anyone wants to watch Columbus East or (blah) North, the games are supposed to have their links here https://www.bcscschools.org/

I seriously can't stop watching this

After a thoroughly disappointing week 1, hopefully the Olympians will regroup to defeat Columbus North (who curb stomped Gibson Southern last week). I'm hoping to start getting a feel for any D1/IU prospects in the Hoosier Hills Conference, but it's tough with only 250 fans to provide perspective.

Best of luck to all of the high school football teams tonight! Columbus East takes on Whiteland, and I don't have a great feeling about this. Whiteland is always big and tough. But, I really like our QB and main RB this year!

Speaking Out – Indiana Receivers Poised to Step Up Story Links By Pete DiPrimio IUHoosiers.com BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Sometimes, if you're Grant Heard, you lead by stepping back. As Indiana's receivers coach, you let your veterans take charge, by example, of course, by word through necessity. And, as you might imagine in these pandemic times, by online technology. The biggest burden falls on seniors Whop Philyor and Ty Fryfogle, but they don't bear it alone. In this one-for-all, all-for-one quest, where a football break-through season to follow a break-through season is possible, players must show the way. And with coronavirus-caused separation poised to end, Heard ratchets up the intensity. Hoosiers quarterbacks threw for 3,931 yards last season. They attempted 473 passes. It could be even more this season. Heard has to make sure his receivers are up to it. So ask him what he expects from Philyor and Fryfogle, who combined for 115 catches for 1,606 yards and eight touchdowns during last season's 8-5 run, and intensity follows. "I hadn't seen them in months (following the cancelation of spring ball). I gave them responsibilities to lead meetings sometimes. I didn't want to be a part of it because if I'm there and something isn't right, I know I'm going to take charge. "I'm trying to give them freedom to do stuff, to get guys together, to do it on their own and develop them speaking out. "Ty and Whop don't like to speak out a whole bunch. I know people think Whop's personality is outgoing, but he is really a shy person. Ty doesn't say a word. It's trying to get those guys to speak out and start being leaders on their own. Hopefully they've been doing it. They say it's been going good." Then, with veteran receivers Nick Westbrook and Donavan Hale gone to pursue NFL options, Heard expands the responsibility. "To me, it's not about seniors, it's not about playing. It's about what needs to be done. Whoever it is, somebody step up. Somebody step up and lead the room. "I don't truly believe that just because you're a senior, you're a leader. Leaders can be anybody. So hopefully somebody in that room, I would love for it to be Whop or Ty, but somebody needs to step up and fill those roles that Nick left and Donavan left." Philyor had a monster season last year, with 70 catches for 1,002 yards and five touchdowns. In his first two IU seasons, he totaled 56 catches, 570 yards and four TDs. Philyor has a chance to be the Big Ten's top receiver, but it will require the best preparation of his college career. What does Heard expect from him? "Just to understand defenses more. I feel comfortable about him knowing our playbook and what we ask him to do from our end. Now I'm putting pressure on him to know more defenses. What they're trying to do to take him away, to take certain plays away, why we're calling certain stuff, just to open his mind up and become a more well-rounded football player. "If I was playing against us, I'd say let's try to take Whop away, he's one of their main guys." That was certainly true against Michigan State, when Philyor totaled 14 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 14 catches for 178 yards against Nebraska, and 10 catches for 182 yards against Rutgers. "He's probably one of our more explosive guys as far as making explosive plays," Heard says. "I take it as a challenge that if they take him away, someone else has to step up." Fryfogle and David Ellis (who got extra time at running back this spring) come to the forefront. "I think we have enough people in our room now and on this offense to take the load," Heard says. "David Ellis is doing awesome. Ty Fryfogle can make plays, so it gives other people an opportunity to go out there and take the touches that (Philyor) might have gotten because they want to take him away. They can come out of their shell and show everybody what they can do." Heard's job -- which also includes co-offensive coordinator duties -- is to develop a receiving room full of depth. The potential is there with talented young returning players such as Miles Marshall, Da'Shaun Brown, Jordan Jakes and Jacolby Hewitt. Because of the pandemic, much of the development has come away from campus. "With not having spring ball," Heard says, "that is a big issue, because it was their time to show everybody what they can do. "They needed to make sure they came back in shape. Learn as much as they can away from us, which was difficult at times." Especially when it must be done without any coaching feedback. "Some of my guys are doers," Heard says. "They need to do it, read it in the playbook and see exactly what they need. They had to do it virtually and on their own, take a bunch of mental reps and try to learn in that way." To help them, Heard had his drills accessible via the Internet for viewing at any time. "My drill tape was up on the server where they could watch it. They could go out there and do drills. "Now each kid is a little bit different because of the area that they were in. They might not have been able to go out to the parks because of restrictions. "I said 'If you have to, run driveway to driveway. Do something.' For me it's more conditioning, making sure they're in shape. "The older ones knew the drills they needed to work on, the Miles's, the Whop's, the Ty's. They know what it's like and what they need to get ready for in a game. "The younger ones, they have not played and it's a little bit different. So mentally I just really wanted them to hone in on what we're doing, what we're doing offensively, and then the drills I put on tape for them to watch. It's not me standing there making sure they're running routes. They had to make sure they were doing it." On-your-own training is crucial, not only amid a pandemic, but for those with NFL aspirations, which is true for just about any college player, realistic or not. "This was an NFL-type model," Heard says. "When they're with us, we have complete control over them. We can say you're working out at this time, running at this time and this and that. "I challenged them, if you want to be NFL guys, NFL guys were not at their facilities that time of year anyway. If you want to start getting yourself into that lifestyle, this is where it is. You need to do training yourself. You need to be self-motivated and it's going to show."
