Misunderstood. Sacred for those away from "The Lake" but of tremendous of importance to those at "The Lake. Different for different people because those kids at the lake are making their gravy this weekend.
Interesting developments MICDS vs Hillsboro
- Thread starter cardsfan200306
- Start date
Man you guys are bent out of shape about this.
I hope fred shows up Tuesday .
Not bent out of shape just educating. Calm down old guy
Just scanned Week 1 MSHSAA scoreboard this now shows as a 13-zip forfeit for Hillsboro.
Just went to look and it's back to no result, also earlier when on schedule page for micds it showed them winning 21-14 and on Hillsboro it showed a 13-0 forfeit win. Those too now show blank.
WOW that was quick. This sequence of events is a first for me................
Will be interesting to see if micds pulls out of Tuesdays JV match
Show me in the rules where it states the home team decides the time and date to resume the game.
It’s not the home team. But the rules do say that both teams must agree to end the game as is.
While it may not say that you do understand that it is a week 1 contest and that week 1 runs Thursday to Wednesday. Furthermore the reasoning for completion in the week is quarter limits. Honestly I'm not sure why you are so butthurt over MICDS but it's getting comical. Noone is stating anything but the rules and you are taking hard.
LOL I have zero love for the big privates. Just taking MICDS coach's point of view. We don't know if other options were discussed. Was Mon or Tues discussed? I know I wouldn't like another school telling me the game will resume tomorrow night at 7 or you forfeit, with no discussion or input from my side. I, too, am just going by the rules and they do not give Hillsboro the sole authority to set the time and date to resume the game.
Big privates. Hehe
That was discussed already in a post from Hillsboro. Other rescheduling options were discussed on Friday morning and after the game Friday and MICDS according to Hillsboro turned everything down. Hence the dispute. Nobody ever mentioned anything more than what was put out for the public to read by Hillsboro and then what is stated in the rulebook.
Since Hillsboro is the hosting school and other games and activities may be scheduled there then yes it is pretty much on Hillsboro to schedule it.
It’s honestly astonishing that people truly believe grown adults in a professional setting didn’t do their due diligence before taking an issue as this to the next level (in this case getting MSHSAA involved). People love to just assume the worst.
OBJECTION: Statement has no basis within the MSHSAA rules.
You can't make the rules up as you go along.
Correct I'm not a private school so I can't.
However rule book has been quoted multiple times
Fred offered to start at 6 to avoid the rain. Hillsboro said no.
I'd tell them to fly a kite too.
"other games and activities may be scheduled there" is no where to be found in the rulebook. The game must be finished within the week of play, meaning they have until Wednesday (per this fancy rulebook). Hillsboro tried to take this to the court of public opinion, but miscalculated how much power that court had. I'm as anti private school advantages as the next guy, but MICDS wasn't the only one trying to pull wool over your eyes, at least, and at most, Hillsboro tried to make rescheduling a nightmare and then run to social media and blame MICDS. I'd wager the truth is somewhere in between. But to say that the home team has anymore than 50% of the say on a make up time is silly and completely wrong, per the rule book.
Been involved with it enough to understand it just fine. No skin off my back either way. Just trying to prevent the overuse of the "MSHSAA always sides with the private schools" argument so we can use it when it actually happens.
My thoughts exactly, O Line. I smelt something fishy from the start of this thing.
Plain and simple...MSHSAA exists for Nothing!!! No one and I MEAN NO ONE follows their rules!!!! Private schools will always win in disputes with public schools...I refer to the late great philosopher George Carlin, "these people don't care about you, they own you." "It's all one big club and you ain't in it"
So Hillsboro has to move the game to 6 (even though the forcasts Friday Morning showed storms at 6) and its their fault, but when Hillsboro asked to move the game to Saturday to avoid the whole mess, MICDS does not have to comply.
neither have to do anything.
That's why we have so much crying on message boards.
Yeah still trying to figure out if this was mshsaa or Hillsboro giving up. If it was mshsaa will they go to court and lose again
This whole situation as stupid. As long as I can remember, when a game is stopped for weather and not finished in Friday, you finish it Saturday. I went to games where that happened when I was a kid, I remember a West Platte/Tarkio game getting stopped for the weather and finished the next day probably 25 years ago and they finished it on Saturday. MICDS refusing because the parents and the kids wanted to party at Lake of the Ozarks is just ridiculous.
I hope anyone who they try to schedule in the future remembers this crap.

A precedent has certainly been set for the future. If you are leading, and weather (or whatever) causes the game to not be able to be continued , why would anyone come back and play? "Sorry, we got starters doing something this weekend, we win". Just cite the case of Hillsboro v. MICDS 2024, case closed.
I've done sent them a message and I expect them to be as responsive as rivals
