Selling an iPhone on eBay
I had better luck on Craigslist. Sold my 6 plus 128gb for $350, was only listed for about 12 hours. I had about 15 responses and ended up meeting a lady at an AT&T store so she could get the imei status etc verified and get it activated.

Christian Academy-Louisville/DeSales Predictions
Purple88, if you are looking for restaurants before or after the game, two of the best in the South End are right on Strawberry Ln/ 3rd st near DeSales. Hoops is a non chain sports bar with good wings, burgers, and great chili. Rubbies has great BBQ, sandwiches, etc.

iPhone 7 (announcement event)
I have yet to drain my 7 plus battery during the day. i can't use it much while at work, so may not be the best judge of that, and often charge in the car, hook it to my car stereo's USB port to charge and listen to playlists.

For anyone that just got their new IPhone's, shop around to sell your old IPhone. I almost traded my IPhone 6 Plus 128 GB in at Apple for $220 or Best Buy for $276, but listed it on Craigslist and sold it for $350 in less than a day.

Hard reset for when your phone gets locked up or unresponsive. It doesn't happen very often.

iPhone 7 (announcement event)
I have had my 7 plus 128 gb since last Wed. I like it but after recently upgrading from and IPad Air 1 to and IPad Pro 9.7" which was a huge jump performance, sound (4 speakers are loud compared to IPad Air). The jump from a 6 plus to a 7 plus wasn't that significant. I had already updated to IOS 10, for me getting used to force touch is an adjustment, took awhile to figure out how to press to delete or move apps. I like the new home button, also now have to get used to a different hard reset (sleep/wake button at same time as volume down).

Fern Creek 47 Fairdale 0
Completely my fault, but final was actually 46-0. I was tweeting out scores during the game while doing stats and correctly tweeted that kick failed on our first TD of 3rd qtr but put it in as good on stats software and had that extra point in score in the tweet and software for the rest of the night. Was off my game tonight trying to decider the number on Fairdale's jerseys. Two of our district opponents, Fairdale and Southern have the numbers that fade out at bottom, look good in person, very hard to read in the box. Me and my co-stats guy Scott complained so much their AD threatened to kick us out of the box ( I probably shouldn't have called them Fubu jerseys).

The swipe to turn on being gone is messing with me right now on my phone and iPad, but will get used to it I guess. I have already had to actually pay attention to turn on my devices.

Fern Creek 27 Butler 7
Manual has very good linemen, their are both big and good on both sides of the ball. They dominated us in the trenches and we were unable to run our offense or stop them consistently on defense. We have smaller lines, with a big guy here or there but most of our guys are a little undersized compared to the competition and it has caused issues for us when the opponent is both big and good, notably this year vs Manual, last year vs Bowling Green and also vs Fairdale. Last year Fairdale had a really good OL and they were pretty big too. We struggled against them then broke it open late. One thing that is helping us is QB Shamar Bryant. Shamar is playing well, spreading the ball around, making good decisions, good throws, and also running the ball well. We are still only throwing 10-15 passes per game but he is completing around 50%, for over 100 y per game with 2-3 TD per game, and adding 40-50 y rushing each game. Having Kinslow may have hampered Shamar's development the last 2 years because he didn't have to check down, just toss up to Kinslow and he would go get it. Kinslow was big and strong, with a great ability to both get open and adjust to the ball in the air, and use his strength and body to hold off defenders. Shamar looked good in 7 on 7's this year and except for the Manual game when he had no time to throw he is doing well.

"Tech Factor" In High School Football - The Have's and The Have Not's
It's not really that expensive, 3 different packages run $500, $900, $1,500. We got the $1,500 package and they included over $1,000 worth of equipment. It does add another person, we use a Pressbox cam and endzone cam each with a person running the camcorder, both stream to the box where a 3rd person has an iPad and hits record and stop each play and tags ODK (offense, defense, kicking) I know $1,500 seems like a lot but we paid for it effortlessly. Coach Abell had each kid turn in 10 emails to their position coach, and created a Hudl Campaign. Each of those people were emailed a request to help the team explaining the Hudl Sideline and what we were raising money for. We raised over $2,000. Our coaches already had iPads to view on the field or in box, we did have to buy a few cables and a used HDMI monitor for the end zone cam, we have about $1,700 invested. Last week was the first time we had it working right, largely due to operator error, but a Hudl Update did fix several issues as well.

"Tech Factor" In High School Football - The Have's and The Have Not's
In a similar note I was just discussing this with a friend. He is a high school coach in his early 50's. When he was a junior in high school another school traded them VHS tapes, VCR's were still hundreds of dollars and they didn't have them, but his father did. His dad hosted the whole coaching staff to watch film of their upcoming opponent. Prior to that they were still using actual film rolls. Even as late as 2000 we were still using VHS tapes to distribute and trade video. We were using mini-dv camcorders, and it was either 2001 or 2002 we started burning dvd, and had a copy tower. About 2008 or 2009 I upgraded to a HD camcorder. About 4 years ago we switched to Hudl and now put everything online, trade video with an app, and have instant replay technology.

5A #6 Fern Creek 6A Butler
Fern Creek rebounded well after the Manual loss. Devon Blincoe RB carried 20 times for 184 yards and a TD. Kyree Hawkins was everywhere with 6 carries for 101 yards and a TD, 3 catches for 133 yards and 3 TD, as well as 5 tackles, 2 tackles for loss. Dewayne Flournoy had 8 tackles, and 2 pick six interceptions of 60 and 93 yards. This one will be interesting last year Fern Creek won 38-6, but Butler had won the previous two meetings in 2013-14, including a 2nd round playoff win 10-0 in 2014.

If you don't know stats, you probably should get someone else to do them
I have a similar story. For our now defunct semi-pro team we had a backup. Running back battling for time, we had some talented guys and he wasn't one of them, he had earned the nickname "runs like gerbil", his legs churned didn't go anywhere. After one of the games where we were winning and he got lots of carries in mop up duty, he whined about his stats to me. Then I come to practice on Monday with dvd's of the game for everyone. He gets one then him and his dad come to me next practice with their yellow notepad disputing his rushing stats. They though his yardage started where he got the handoff or pitch to where he was tackled, No mention of line of scrimmage. It was hilarious bursting that bubble.

Actually JoJo you can set it for 1 solo and up to 2 assists, it the primary/ asst tackle setting that we usually leave off. WL Stats uses the .5 for assists which NFL and Arena do as well, but KHSAA doesn't neither does NCAA. If you had 2 solo & 2 assists for KHSAA and NCAA that equals 4 tackles, with setting WL using it is 3 tackles. I really agree with their setting but use what KHSAA does. Also just an FYI, that is same software used by me and JoJo, as well as Trinity, Male, And Central.

Thanks Bluegrasscard for that post from the NFHS rule book. I had never seen an actual definition, or rule as far as HS defensive stats. I have done stats for High School, Semi-pro using NFL rules, and Arena 2. And I have read the NCAA stats manual. All define tackles like this 1 solo or 2 assists. Nice to see it laid out and backing up what JoJo is saying.
