Adams Central is 2A now 🙂

Lol, there ya go.

Rodney is right here where he belongs, amongst the fans.

Fortunately for South Adams, Adams Central will no longer be a road block for them. I love the challenge AC will face in 2A. I do have an issue with the success factor though. Although AC would have been 2A regardless as a result of increase in enrollment, I don't agree that they should bump up a class as a result of points without a state title to show for it. Maybe that's something the IHSAA could look into.

I'm not an administrator so it's not my judgment call. I do consider this a fan forum though. The coaches have their own exclusive forum and very rarely do I ever see a current player posting on here. So in my opinion, I don't see it as inappropriate. I think you also have to the look at the source. Many of this poster's threads are created for entertainment purposes only, not to be taken literal.

Adams Central and East Central are the outlier to this theory. There should have been a dot on those two small towns rather than a line that included the entire southeast portion of Indiana. The Jets are, arguably, the best football program in the state of Indiana regardless of class. Disclaimer: There are probably 15 programs in the state that could make that same claim.

But no one plays indoors. Add the two together and you have the perfect storm.

They certainly don't care to discuss much in the way of football.

Have you not been paying attention to any of Rodney's posts? See Temp's post above.

This is probably going to upset Cody. No representation from The Region.

Ironically, one of the loudest hits I've ever heard on the gridiron was one in which a kid on Warren's kickoff team was the victim. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.

It's good that everyone can look back and laugh. At the end of the day, Penn still has five state titles in the largest school division and the best record in the state spanning four decades.

Ouch, that one will hurt.

I was thinking Rodney, but Bobref will do. I've got Penn winning 10-7 in overtime with 15 players on defense. But that's only if they have 15 on the kickoff team and the punt team. If special teams are even up, I'll give you your 14 points.

May need a second opinion here. Can I call a friend?

No chance of scoring 100 though. If the snow was falling, we're probably talking 28-14.

Agree. Therefore, the state championship should be played on a grass field near Lake Michigan somewhere.

Or they just use parentheses. Carroll (Fort Wayne) or Carroll (Flora). Carroll(Fort Wayne) sits just outside city limits, so they don't get the Fort Wayne Carroll label. The high school itself has a Fort Wayne address, but many of their students have a Huntertown address.

Look at it this way. If they cut the state in half that year, Penn would have been state champions.

The only thing slowing BD down is the grass. You get them in the perfect indoor environment, and it's lights out. I'll argue day and night that turf favors the faster team. I think Westfield would have suffered the same fate at Crown Point. I could be wrong, just my take.

Agree. But a team has to be located inside the city limits. Harding, for example sat on the outside of Fort Wayne city limits and was part of the East Allen County school system. However, 90% of their student body was from inside city limits. That's partially true of Carroll and Homestead. Both cities sit on the outside, with many students sitting on the inside. Long story short, if the school sits inside limits, then it's labeled as such. No ones ever said "Indianapolis Carmel." We're just left wondering where suburban schools are from...........I guess that's what google is for.

That's interesting. Not very often do you hear just Jefferson, it's Lafayette Jeff. Or Riley, it's South Bend Riley. Evansville Reitz. Indianapolis Ritter. I think when a city has more than one high school, it's common to label them with the city name in front. When there is one high school, it's just named after the ciy..............Warsaw, New Haven, Angola, ect.

`Hmmm

Penn was good that year. Missed opportunities are a tough pill to swallow. Homestead was also very good that year. Both teams would like a do over I'm sure.

I'm 50/50. I betting Crown Point is more than just a one year wonder. Carroll has a D1 quarterback, and Snider's defense has the potential to be as good as they were last year led by two D1 defensive backs. Weeks 1 & 2 will be interesting. Fort Wayne takes on Indy. Crown Point takes on Arizona Prep. We'll see real quick what the north is made of.
