Class of '66 Old Fart

Indiana Football @IndianaFootball Indiana Athletics Hall of Famer Adewale Ogunleye will be our Honorary Captain for Monday’s Championship Game!

River Ridge (11-6) 62-49 win last night over Sprayberry (8-9). 19p, 5r, 1a, 2s, 1b, 4t. 7-16 FG, 1-2 on 3s, 4-6 FT.

Sign me up for a membership in the Sydney Savoury fan club. Last night played 21 min: 25p, 7r, 3a, 10s, 0b, 3t. 8-13 FG, 1-2 on 3s; 8-10 FT. She also drew 6 fouls. She landed awkwardly with 5:43 left and right after that the stream of the game quit but I doubt she returned as Belleville led 73-36 at that point. Side note: Michigan high school bball really needs a mercy rule. To me, she's deceptively quick and many of her steals she simply takes the ball away from the dribbler and races down for a layup.

Christ School (15-3) over Phoenix Montessori Acad (16-8) 79-46. Manhertz played 17 min. - 2p, 5r, 6a, 4s, 3b, 2t. He's not the featured scorer in the Christ School offense. He'll be located in the left corner or they post him at the foul line and use him to distribute the ball from that point.

Jared Kelly - Indiana WR Tyler Morris will be back at IU next season and expects to be full go for spring camp, he tells me. Morris, a Michigan transfer, is coming off an ACL tear suffered last spring. He jumped back into practice the week before the Rose Bowl.

Grind Session @thegrindsession FINAL DME Academy (FL) 85 Royal Crown (ON, CAN) 68 Player of the Game: Ryan Hampton 27p 7r 4a 3s 2b

Kinda hard to wrap my arms around this one.

From what I read, Lawrence Central apparently thought they could take the ball inside against Pike. Bad move coach. This is one of Hill's better stat lines for the season.

I'm going to watch from the comfort of my easy chair so after the game and we are the undefeated national champions I can bawl my eyes out in joy and happiness and only my wife will know.

Rough night for Jordan and Dream City.

Young Mr. Branham's had quite a couple of games. Logan-Rogersville takes down the MaxPreps No. 8 team in the nation Wheeler (GA) 66-64. Chase Branham starred for the Wildcats with 32 points on 13-for-20 shooting. Logan-Rogersville never trailed in the game.

Don't believe it's paywalled. Contains info on Branham's game last night. https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/longformarticle/bass-pro-tournament-of-champions-cayden-daughtry-jordan-smith-christian-collins-chase-branham-colben-landrew-quentin-coleman-271163033/#2780751

Game tonight vs Phoenix Montessori Academy at approx. 6:30. Streamed on Sports Engine.

24 min. video of last night's game. Branham is #3. Jordan Smith for Paul VI is #23. FWIW, Smith is still uncommitted and continues to list us as a finalist in his recruitment but don't get your hopes up. You'll see Calamari's ugly mug several times as he was there watching Smith. https://www.ozarkssportszone.com/2026/01/15/video-paul-vi-64-logan-rogersville-58/

OL Melvin Siani has already signed with Texas.

Pay no attention to the man behind the Old Fart user name. Just 8 days ago in my mind I closed the books on Wabbington's recruitment. Today in a paywalled update from Brandon Jenkins, Wabbington's quoted as saying we are one of the school's he's interested in visiting. KJ first contacted him at Peach Jam and apparently they hit it off and he likes our five-out style of play.
