Tippy Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 My "OH MY" teams of the week are all the teams in and north of Lafayette. In the last 4 years there have been 24 teams win championships, and only 3 have been in and north of Lafayette. LCC in 2019, Andrean in 2021, and Valparaiso in 2022. No team north of Lafayette has ever won state in 6A. In 5A there was Valparaiso in 2022, Fw Snider in 2015 and Penn in 2000. In 4a there was Fw Dwenger in 2018 and 2015 and Lowell in 2005. In 3A West Lafayette won state in 2018, Fw Concordia in 2016, Andrean in 2013 and West Lafayette in 2009. In 2A Andrean won in 2021, Rensselaer in 2014 and FW Luers 2009-2012. In 1A LCC won state in 2019, Pioneer in 2017-2018, LCC in 2015 and LCC 2009-2012. This year it might be a clean sweep for teams south of Lafayette again. In 6A this year you have Brownsburg, Ben Davis and maybe Center Grove. In 5A Bloomington South looks really good. They beat Brebeuf 51-26. In 4A there is East Central. 3A you have Chatard and Gibson Southern. In 2A there is Triton Central and North Posey, and in 1A you have Lutheran. In the 1940's -1970's, South Bend schools and Gary (area) schools had some of the best teams in the state. South Bend Washington won state in 1973 and was 10-0 in 1943 and 9-1 in 1942. Their only loss was to East Chicago Washington. Mishawaka Marian won state in 1975 and 76. Portage won state in 1977. I was just thinking about all the good teams in the north through the years. Penn, Jimtown, Griffith and many others. There doesn't seem to be many great teams north of Lafayette these days like there was years ago. South Bend schools today, Oh My!

I put this on here, so Harrison will win state this year. 🙂 If Harrison wins, that is a win for the north, even if the IHSAA has them in the South. I think there are some people on here that would like to see anyone north of Lafayette win state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullhorn99 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Now do the same thing for schools south of Bargersville for the last 20 years. I don’t think the total championship count even reaches double digits. Oh my! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evansville Mater Dei won state - 2000, 2022 Evansville Memorial won state - 2017 Linton won state - 2016 Heritage Hills won state - 2000 Evansville Reitz won state - 2007,2009 Columbus East won state - 2013, 2017 Jasper won state - 2001 East Central won state - 2022, probably 2023 Mt.

Many of the schools in and north of Lafayette were good for many years, and that doesn't seem to be true anymore. South Bend had some of the best teams in the state from the 1920's-1970's, and now look at them. Penn seems to have fallen off, and the list goes on and on. Indy might have a lot to do with that, but that is why the teams north of Lafayette get an "Oh My" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vernon (Fortville) is actually about 45 miles north of Bargersville. So that puts the number squarely at 10 (out of about 110 championships I think). I think directly or indirectly we are both shining the spotlight on the Indy area and surrounding counties. That region's probably won 60 or more state championships in the last 20 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been 50 years since the playoffs started in 1973. From 1973-1997, 103 teams won championships. 47 of those teams were in and north of Lafayette. From 1998 to 2022, 135 teams won championships. 39 of those teams were in and north of Lafayette. 15 of those 39 championships were won by LCC and FW Luers. From 1973-1997 it looks like 8 teams south of Bargersville won state. From 1998-2022, 13 teams south of Bargersville won state. 4 of the 13 in the last 4 years. It looks like the far south is getting slightly better, and the Indy area is getting much better. And the north "OH MY" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobref Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 My “oh my” team of the week is 3A Hanover Central. They moved to a new conference this year, clearly stepping up a level in competition. Nevertheless, they blew through an undefeated conference schedule and last Friday completed a perfect 9-0 regular season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are some people on here that would like to see anyone north of Lafayette win state. I would. With that, my submission would have to be the Crown Point Bulldogs. Always decent before Buzea, and now they're an unstoppable force (at least playing NWI teams). Honorable mention would be to Hanover Central. They didn't have football not so long ago, but now they ran the table in a conference of much larger schools (except Andrean). I have to wonder what is i the water every time I drive the Cedar Lake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, plus there were some fluky plays in that BD/Warren game. Warren scored two special teams TDs… Kudos to them but that’s more of an anomaly and not a recipe for sustained success. Warren was a true enigma this season. Good at times, putrid at others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
