Playoff Central
IHSSN went crazy with playoff football coverage. In an unanticipated move, Playoff Central was created over the weekend. The original plans had called for a small-scale coverage of playoff football. However, on the day of the Playoff Pairings, we decided to as in-depth as time allowed.
Working from 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning until 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning, IHSSN Playoff Central made its debut with 30 coaches interviews, the podcast of the Playoff Pairings Show, the most comprehensive 1st round playoff dates and times (prior to the release by the IHSA), along with various video clips involving playoff teams. IHSSN Playoff Central took on a mind of its own!
Final Coaches Poll
As expected, there was low voter turnout for the final IHSSN Football Coaches Poll. Due to this, there is only rankings for Class 1A-4A in the final edition. All season long, the voting centered around the preseason classifications. This final poll was based on the IHSA playoff classifications.
Speaking of Coaches Polls
The voting ballots are being sent out for the upcoming IHSSN Basketball Coaches Polls. As of this writing, seven coaches have sent in their top tens. Only half of the coaching panel has been emailed the initial ballots at this time. There are currently 113 coaches on the panel statewide. At any time this season, any head coach or assistant coach is welcome to be added. Just email ihssn@hotmail.com and express your interest. The preseason polls for boy's and girl's basketball will be released on Wednesday November 17th.
Basketball Addition to the Website
IHSSN will attempt to track down as many schedules as possible before the basketball season tips off. Over 100 girl's basketball schedules statewide can be found here: http://www.ihssn.net/table/girl-s-basketball-schedules/.
