Dear Mother Nature,
I don’t care what happens to the rest of this season.
DO NOT. I repeat. DO NOT FORCE US TO CANCEL ANYMORE KEY GAMES!
Also, leave our conference meet alone.
Sincerely,
Every irritated fan, coach, AD, and staff member
Happy first day of Fall Sports Season to all of the players, coaches, administrators, and fans all across the Northeast 8. The wait is finally over!
Welcome back
It is with a heavy heart that we share that Coach Marc Davidson has gone home to be with the Lord.
He fought the fight, finished the race, and kept the faith! Now he is receiving his crown of righteousness from Jesus!
“Well done, good and faithful servant!”
We love you coach!
Let’s talk some throwback Columbia City Eagles 🏀. In 2014-15, they went 19-8 in the final season in the NHC and won a sectional title. Then, in 2015-16, they went 20-7, were 1 of four NE8 co-champions, and won their most recent sectional over Bishop Luers at Columbia City.
2020 has been a rough year for everyone, but these next few days are special ones to celebrate with your loved ones. The NE8 wishes a safe and Merry Christmas from us to you.
Congrats to
@LeoBoysBball
on a fantastic run to the State championship game and playing a great game against Silver Creek. Lost 50-49, but a lot to be proud of
We are excited to begin a brand new year of high school Athletics!
The NE8 wishes all athletes and coaches a great fall season and a better 2021-22 school year!
Columbia City won 3 NEIAC titles in 1966, 1977, and 1979
And 2 NHC titles in 1990 and 2010
Now they have their first NE8 title! Congrats to the Columbia City Eagles! What a game
So so many memories to choose from to reflect on our thoughts about 2020 not naming a global pandemic. These best describe the best of 2020 for the NE8.
Let’s continue to make more memories in 2021
The NE8 congratulates Luke McBride on this amazing milestone. The last time this honor was presented to a Norwell 🏀 player, the Knights were still a member of the ACAC
Generations of fans following Darin Archbold’s career May not understand the significance of this feat
Congratulations to Norwell Senior Luke McBride who set the all-time scoring record tonight. The previous record holder was Darren Archbold with 1811 points. Luke got the record on a 15 foot jumper from the left wing. Awesome Job Luke!
Fans, we miss you. We know you’re frustrated. We are to. Be patient, follow the guidelines, and be safe. High School sports aren’t the same without you but we must persevere together to finish this athletic year.
We will see you soon. Keep the faith
The NE8 conference would like to congratulate the Columbia City Eagles on a great 2019-20 season! We look forward to the launching of a new high school and a new era of Columbia City Athletics.
We have just been told that the
@hnvikings
football team set a program record for points scored through 2 games with 82. The previous record was 77 back in 1989
We are completely disappointed about how the 2019-20 season ended, and especially for the seniors that couldn’t complete their senior seasons. We feel your pain...don’t lose hope and stay strong. We thank you for your hard work
Congrats to Norwell ⚾️ on clinching your 2nd Regional Title in 3 years! Your program has set an extremely high bar that pushes our conference members to be at their best! Your team has great kids and coaches.
Good luck in Semistate next Saturday!
Also congrats to DeKalb and East Noble ⚾️ who snapped both of their 2 decades plus long sectional title droughts to get to regionals!
Your communities should feel very proud, and your teams have a lot to build off of for 2024.
Congrats to
@LeoBoysBball
on winning regionals 47-46 over Northwood.
They’ll be facing South Bend St. Joseph in Semistate. Location and time for this game are TBD
The East Noble girls win the Angola track sectional with a total of 150 points. It’s the Knights third sectional championship in a row. Angola finishes second and DeKalb places third.
Biggest win from last night was no one was hurt during a scary scene in Kendallville.
Thanks to the community for protecting everyone during these scary moments
Couldn't agree more! So proud of my assistant, Brandon Durnell, & our softball/baseball coaching staff for all your leadership last night. Fantastic job & well done to all involved. Knight Nation is a very strong community and it showed last night when everyone worked together!
Congrats to Leo 🥎 on a special 2023 season going 26-2!
It was a special ride to follow your girls through the many times of trial and accomplishments and despite coming up 1 game short of a state finals berth, we are all proud of you
The future of NE8 🥎 is extremely bright!
The NE8 formally congratulates all of the 2020 seniors that represent our 8 great member schools! We’re living in unprecedented times; it stinks to not have the normal senior yr. In the end, you have a great opportunity ahead of you to go to college or head off to the workforce!
Columbia City High School is your 2021-22 All-Sports Champion for the NE8 Conference! Boys finished 1st and Girls finished Runner-up! Congrats to CCHS Athletes and Coaches...job well done!!
What a year...and it's not finished ;)
We apologize for the late response but the NE8 is saddened by yesterday’s passing of Homestead and Purdue star Caleb Swanigan
While Biggie never played in the NE8, he was apart of the late NHC where Homestead won their only state championship in boys basketball in 2015
Wow. Talk about the power & impact of high school sports. Bellmont wrestling coach Tim Myers talks about the legacy of legendary coach Paul Gunsett, who passed away Friday at the age of 53 from melanoma cancer.

It’s over. For the first time since 2002,
@DeKalbBaseball
is a SECTIONAL CHAMPION!! 3-2 over the Snider Panthers! Oh my Oklahoma!!
They’ll travel to the winner of 4A sectional 6 which will be Homestead (former NHC rival for DeKalb) or South Side.
Another trophy so another team photo for
@ENHS_Tennis
. The Knights (16-2, 7-0 NE8) win the outright Northeast 8 Conference championship with a 5-0 over New Haven. Today’s victory also ties the all-time wins record at 16.
After lots of thought and consideration, I have decided to Commit to Indiana University. I would like to thank all of my coaches and family who have pushed me to reach my dreams of playing baseball at the next level.

Saturdays are for the Seniors.
Tonight we honor softball star

@squawsoftball
program. From 3-16 the year before she got there ➡️ 67-5, three sectional titles & two regional titles over the last three seasons 💪🏼👇🏼
.
@paytonhart8
wins her first match as the head coach at her Alma mater with a 4-set win over West Noble
19-25, 25-23, 25-8, 25-20
It’s their first win vs WN since 2019.
Regional Champions again, 18th overall! Great day for Bellmont Volleyball and the girls played well to capture the title. Live on another day and enjoy the journey. The community support was A-mazing.

@BHS_Barstool_
Leo led 7-2 going into the 7th, but a 2-run homer by Alex Smith and a 3-run single by Conner Barkel tied the game.
Damien Gudakunst’s walkoff single in the 7th won it for Leo who improves to 4-0. Gudakunst went 3-5 on the night
So proud to be a Baron! HUGE win over Leo 6-0 to stay undefeated in the NE8! Joachim with the hat trick, I. Hernandez with 2 goals, and Dove with 1. Assists were given by I. Hernandez-2, Neumann, and Fillenwarth. Big ups to the defense for a conference shutout!
#StrongerTogether
7th grade football finishes out and outstanding season undefeated, defeating Leo 46 to 19 tonight in front of a packed house.. outstanding effort from this group of players and coaches all season, so very excited to see them come through our program for the next 5 years!
East Noble senior Spencer Denton (
@spencer_denton3
) makes his return to the court tonight against West Noble after missing the last two seasons to two separate ACL injuries, both on his left knee.
