Bless who ever gave GS a 1st place vote. 
 

and the 9 who decided 1 loss to roncalli was enough to put WL over Chatard 

 

No way do 10 people think Chatard isn’t #1 in 3A after barely losing to Roncalli lol 

I watched the West Lafayette vs. Harrison game at Lucas Oil before Chatard, and West Lafayette is legit. Harrison is no slouch. I've got no problem with the rankings.

I don't know much about Gibson Southern this year, but it looks like they've picked up right where they left off last year! They've been a great program during the Hart era, but winning that first championship has a way of creating even more success for a program. Would not be surprised at all to see them in Lucas Oil again.

GS certainly performing above expectations right now which is great considering 3 freshman and a handful of sophomores are starting. Going to return A LOT next year…but this year they are still a young team and they need to just keep growing before we start predicting them to LOS lol

 

The goals for this year I think are to win the conference and win the sectional.  Once you get outside of sectionals in 3A, it seems like every team is either 12-0 or 11-1 and it’s very tough sledding.  Gotta just win the day 

 

as for West Lafayette….I can’t recall a time in the last 10 years they were not ranked in the top 3 of 3A.  Year in and year out just a phenomenal program.  Definitely can give Chatard a run for its money in the north and I think many are looking forward to an opportunity for that matchup

Very proud to see my Miners at #1... but....while the offense is clicking and the run defense seems pretty solid... we have places that need improvement.  we have no place kicker so all PATs are of the 2 point varient, and not particularly successful to date... and the pass defense gave up some pretty wide open receivers last week that resulted in a couple scores and prolly should have a couple more. That could be a real concern against a pass heavy intricate offense.  I'm sure it will all be worked on as I am typing this.   Sullivan will bring a spread offense to Linton next week... so I am anxious to see how we handle that.  WIth that said... the offense is truly moving the ball at will.  If we can get the passing game a little more on step we can really be dangerous.  The front defense has been very physical and getting pressure on QB from OLB... and the physicalness of the Offensive Line has been impressive. We CANT have injuries though....

Linton vs Sullivan is the game Ive been waiting on. I think the biggest test... as you never know about this rivalry. Regardless since both are in Sect 37 now both teams will probably meet again bar injuries to either teams.

I mean….many years there is an argument that 3A/4A are almost the same or that the best team could be the 3A team…..I don’t think that’s the case this year.

 

i get the impression that this is a great 4A year.  Not a knock on the the 3A teams by any means…just that I think 3A is slightly down this year compared to the last 5 years and 4A looks really tough

I think the upper tier of 3A is down, but the middle is deeper. We'll see as more 3A teams play a more difficult schedule prior to the tournament.

I think New Pal is on a level of their own in 4A. Would be highly competitive in 6A south as well. Think they top teams in 4A would be very competitive with the top teams in 3A (excluding New Pal).

Looks like another representative from Indy. Never really looked into their location before. 

I am not so sure I would say Whiteland is an Indy area school. How far out would you consider Indianapolis to be? Would you consider Dekalb and Belmont part of Fort Wayne? Whiteland is about the same distance from Indianapolis as those schools are to Fort Wayne.

Does that make Sheridan and Tri-West part of Indianapolis too?

Whiteland is much closer to Indy than those schools are to Fort Wayne.

It's always interesting to me to see the similarities and differences between the two polls. For example in 6A, Lawrence Central got at least one vote worth 3 points in the Coaches Poll (which only includes 10 voters/coaches), while in the AP poll, they received zero votes from 16 voters. Just seems interesting that at least one coach thinks highly of the Bears.

Also a shoutout to a few CIC teams that have been super impressive even though they have not yet cracked their classes' top ten ranking. Oak Hill (3A - 3-0) was straight up dominate in their victory over perennial 2A power Eastbrook, and Madison-Grant (2A - 3-0) has not had a winning season since 2011. Well on their way to accomplishing that with their start to the season, including last week's win over 4A Mississinewa.

I have Whiteland at 16 miles from Indy and Bellmont 22 miles from Fort Wayne about a 6 miles difference. I still don't consider Whiteland an Indianapolis area school just like I wouldn't consider Martinsville, Franklin, or Shelbyville Indy area schools.

It's 11 miles to 465. Less than 2 miles farther than Center Grove is.

Exactly - it's not a good or bad thing, but Whiteland is definitely an Indianapolis area school. @FastpacedO - do you consider Westfield an Indy area school? It's about 21 miles due south from Westfield to Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis. For Whiteland? It's less than 20 miles.

IMHO any school in Marion county or it's surrounding doughnut counties is an Indianapolis area school.

Not sure I would agree with that either. That would include Anderson, Elwood, Frankton, Alexandria and Shelbyville.

Madison county doesn't directly abut Marion county, therefore it is not one of the doughnut counties.  Shelby county does directly abut Marion county, however:
