Not a great look….Linton’s head coach Joey Hart arrested this past Saturday at 4 AM for public intoxication..

Second offense yesterday in Shelby Co. at 10:37 pm last night.  Sad for his family to have to endure the publicity.

Hate that for him. 

My Braves look to be a beneficiary of Linton's poor choices.

To add clarification, when I first saw the report I thought it was someone just dredging up old news but his booking pic and info has since been posted online.

Yep, apparently celebrating a regional title at the casino...on a Monday......?

I'm guessing Jr. can't wait to get to UCF. Dad is a turd.

Wow....they really should suspend him the rest of the season and not let him retain his job as coach....that is not the type of person that should be leading a group of young men.

Indiana high school 1A championship game all but over with Indianapolis Lutheran holding a 77-49 lead over Southwood after 3 Qs.

2A game scheduled to start at 12:30; televised on Bally Sports.  If you watch, keep your eyes on '25 Kellen Pickett of FW Blackhawk who is already on the IU radar.  Also of note, Josh Furst, brother of Caleb, is also on the Blackhawk squad and will be a preferred walk-on at PUke next season.

Just turned it on, so haven’t been watching it, but the 1st broadcast analysis I hear in a game in which the loser is getting boat raced despite trending to 65 points or so is that the issue has been with their shooting. I somehow doubt that’s right.

In response to the question, “What is Lutheran basketball?”, the HC cuts loose with,

”All gas, no brakes.”  Love it.

Final score Lutheran 97 - Southwood 66.  Lutheran set state records for most points (97) and margin of victory (31) in a 1A title game. Ties the state record for most points in a title game (single-class and class era).
