  1. Good luck Coach Gilbert! Coach was a year behind me here at Ben Davis. I graduated in 93 and he graduated in 94.
  2. They also scrimmage some Ben Davis team. Never heard of them.
  3. I like that Carroll is taking on Indy Metro teams.
  4. Looks like a lot of schools are posting their schedules for 2024. What games are you looking forward to on your school's schedule? For Ben Davis, after having six home games last year, they drop to four in 2024. The Giants pick up Cathedral in the Moeller slot, and Center Grove returns to the schedule. Looking forward to the 100th meeting of Ben Davis and Warren Central. 8/23-CATHEDRAL 8/30-at Avon 9/6-at Pike 9/13-CENTER GROVE 9/20-at Warren Central (100th Meeting) 9/27-LAWRENCE NORTH 10/4-at Carmel 10/10-LAWRENCE CENTRAL 10/17-at North Central All kicks at 7:00 pm
  5. Coach Yeoman had the unenviable task of following a legend. It's not easy, but he did a fine job as the head coach of the Kingsmen. Congratulations on a great career, Coach. From all accounts, he's a first-rate human being.
  6. I can only imagine what some of those early Avon coaches like my dad and his players from the 1960's would have thought about this facility. Good gracious. That's a beautiful facility, and that's a great tidbit about the Valley. Something I never knew, and I've been a Westsider for all of my 48 years.
  7. Exactly. Great example. I'm sure we'll see those areas around major metros continue to see growth. We're seeing it around Indianapolis where, when I was a kid in the 90's, Avon and Brownsburg were small, country farm schools. Now, they're massive. When I taught at Franklin Central, we had 1,700 kids. That school is almost twice that size now 25 years later.
  8. Indiana's population is not declining. It's showed stability or very small growth. Now, if you're talking community by community, then I get what you're saying. There are some areas where the population is declining and others where it's growing exponentially.
  9. Obviously yes. But, for Indiana schools, the travel part hasn't changed. It's more for the outside schools. I guess it just increased the pool of teams that could play Indiana teams.
  10. What has changed other than opening up opportunities to play teams from further away? A team from Indiana still can't travel more than 300 miles from the state line. Nope.
  11. Anderson is a separate city from the Indy metro for sure...though Indy seems to be getting closer to Anderson by the year.
  12. Then having the teams sit down and eat dinner after the game together was really special.
  13. I remember running into Coach Geesman before BD and Penn played for the last time in the regular season at Lucas Oil. He was talking about how he told the NIC/ADs they needed to protect rivalries so that games like the Mishawaka game never fell off.
  14. I'm using the Digital Indy site which has most of the Yearbooks in question. I appreciate the Star link idea. The problem is that the yearbooks would put regular season results in and then say Sectionals 2nd. John Harrell also has all the IHSAA yearbook data inputted.
  15. I wish her the best. It's a lot of fun trying to search down little tidbits of history to give to future generations. I'm currently trying to figure out game-by-game results for Ben Davis girls basketball, and it's a challenge. Once it's done though, it's there for everyone. My project is easy compared to what she's trying to do.
  16. Penn/Mishawaka is like BD/Warren, Avon/Brownsburg, Bloomington North/Bloomington South, HSE/Fishers right? I mean, not the same district but huge rivals. I can see this making difference in gate receipts, but I think Penn needs to play someone down in this area.
  17. Center Grove always has a great program at all levels every year.
