Domestic Steel prices are increasing.

During the last tariff experience, domestic mills/distributors that I was dealing with pushed out their own price increases when the import tariffs hit.

If this holds, it could screw over the kids that started college in 2024. They may have signed with a school based on roster needs with an upperclassman leaving. Freshman year, Burn a redshirt, or a year of eligibility only to have the NCAA tell them that these super duper seniors with redshirts and Covid years get to come back again? NCAA literally moving the goal posts on the freshman class of 2024 athletes. They need to stop changing the damn rules every fricking year because feelings (and greed). The governing body has created a disaster that is making the dream for thousands of athletes a convoluted mess.
Neville lost to Central. Two years in a row. That’s what the scoreboard said, twice. Go ahead and run this coach off, and try again next year.
quote:

Neville had over 300 yds on the ground against Central. Central didn't even have 150 total yds offensively. Neville dominated on both sides of the ball. In the end, the ONLY way for Neville to lose was a scoop and score on a blocked FG attempt and it happened. Central was fortunate to be in the Dome. The HC at Neville cost his team a trip to the Dome.


Man, them are some salty Neville Tiger tears. Neville had chances to pull away and didn’t, deal with it, or fire this head coach too. There were some INt’s and failure to converts. The Nichols kid did put up big numbers, but most of those numbers came on 3 or 4 big runs. And kudos to the O line for creating those lanes for him to run thru.

It’s petty to say that Central is fortunate to go to the dome. They were the better football team against Neville. Final score says so. Yards don’t equate to points last time I checked. End zone trips do. These athletes earned the right to play for the championship and, they proved to everyone they belonged there by winning the trophy in the most convincing fashion.

Last year wasn’t a fluke, and neither was this year. Time to accept it up there in north LA.
Not pretending to be more knowledgeable than anyone on here, but we don’t play for the Calpreps championship. This poll sounds like something for people who didn’t win the championship trophy to concern themselves with. You play the games in September to prepare yourself for the tough games in December. “Ratings”don’t always translate to the turf as we saw Saturday.
Running clock. Ouch Ruston
More like “who” 5A this year.

Probably the same crew from the Central-Dutchtown quarterfinal game last year.
Dr. Jung in BR pulled all 4 of mine on a friday last year. I'm pushing 40, and heard how bad it can be the older you are. Was down for friday and part of saturday. As good of an experience as i could have asked for. everything healed up, and no problems to speak of.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the portal is lagging behind or something with the demand on the system. Like you all, we are ready to see some movement towards the funding.

Portal still says it’s being processed. The rep we spoke to used the word “approved”.

We called yesterday and spoke to a rep/agent, or whatever they are called. He confirmed that we were approved, and verified our bank account information while on the phone. He couldn't offer anything by way of a timeline for funding, but he confirmed that our paperwork was in order, and we were approved. I know its not the news we were looking for, but sounds like its a go once they get around to releasing money.

similar situation. Signed on 4/22 and nothing yet.

Yeah we the portal and saw the next button available to click, and clicked it. Gave us the quote/terms, etc. electronically signed all that and submitted it. At this point looks like everything is submitted/confirmed. Just waiting on the funding step to happen.

Stuck on processing for a couple weeks like others in here. Has anyone else seen funding, or another step towards it?
Saona Island excursion was fun. Bus picks you up from resort, and brings you to little village marina to catch boat. Ride in on catamaran, hang out on remote private beach. Enjoyed a local BBQ meal. Little snorkeling too. Fun day, worth the trip. Beer, rum, and food all included. They stopped by some local gift shops on the way back which was cool. Bring small bills. Dollar goes a long way down there.

My rain gage maxed out at 8” about an hour ago in central. Yard is full and water creeping to slab. Ready for this break to start so we can drain. Only other time it was this bad for us was 2016 .
