A dude that vocalizes his lack of support for Homestead yet then cites their “emotions” on a bus ride to a contest.

6A & 1A. Should be 32 teams. 6A because of enrollment gaps. 1A because of roster sizes. A bye week would help small rosters of 30-40 players more than 5A 70-100 player rosters.

"bored to tears"...bro you are a clown...Noblesville and Carmel beat there ass and yes central Indy will beat your ass "for a half" and years beyond..."bored to tears"...still funny as shit....several bus rides since ended with ass kickings so "bored to tears" not working

I am happy to help answer this for you. In 2018, Elkhart Community Schools filed paperwork with the IHSAA letting them know that beginning with the 2020-2021 school year, Elkhart Memorial and Elkhart Central High schools would be competitive together as one Elkhart Hish School. Construction had not yet been completed, leaving the new high school to operate out of two campuses. Construction has since been completed and, beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, Elkhart High school will house grades 10-12 at its West Campus (formerly Elkhart Memorial HS) and 9th grade students at East Campus (formerly Elkhart Central HS). Football games will continue to be played at Rice Field, located at the East Campus.

Use the Force.

In 2019, Andrean senior Johnny Carrothers started for the 59ers, who won the Class 2A state boys baskteball championship. His sister Jessica Carrothers starts for 4A No. 2 Crown Point in the 2021 girls state playoffs. The question? Has a brother and sister, playing for two different schools, ever reached the championship game of Indiana basketball? Does anybody know?

Originally, I thought that the 32 in 1A would provide smaller teams more opportunity than they've had and, to some extent that would be true, but I ran some quick back-of-the-envelope numbers and I'm not sure that limiting teams to 32 in 1A drastically changes the landscape other than providing more opportunities to pick up red rings. In looking at when teams won 1A state and their enrollments using current numbers, the following teams would have been unable to have played in the 1A state title game due to enrollment in the last decade ... * indicates won state and ** indicates lost at state to a team that would have been in the bottom 32: Covenant Christian * South Adams Eastern Greene ** Linton * and ** Eastern Hancock ** Scecina ** Pioneer's right on the borderline, but I think they are closer to the bottom 32 than the top 32, so I included them in the bottom 32. If you include them in the "upper 32" they would have both * and ** and Eastern Greene would fall off of the list. If we go back two decades, using today's numbers, the list would grow a bit: Fountain Central ** Ritter * Sheridan * Knightstown Seeger * South Putnam ** Perry Central ** Note that, even with the bigger teams, many of them succumbed to teams that would have been put in the lower 32 by enrollment ... even more so in the last decade.

Nope. Why would I be rude to a student?

I know, the truth just sucks sometimes. I mean, if I lived in Central Indiana, I'd want to believe the worst team in the HCC is better than the best team in the SAC. I get it. You guys down south just keep playing pretend if it makes you feel better.

Someone's feathers got ruffled.

Don't want to take away from the title on this thread, but the SAC having schools in multiple classes played a large role in these numbers. What is the SAC's record in the state finals in 5A/6A? And why 1994? The HCC has only been around since 2000. Flawed/skewed data.

I understand that, but he did resign as Head Coach that is certain and although Bedford is a 5A school it’s only so because of massive consolidation, it’s a small town. In addition there have been some very strange decisions made by the school board in the past few years (not athletically speaking) if you live in Lawrence County you would for sure know that. Finally, I asked that in defense of Coach Weber meaning he is a man of impeccable character and integrity. He’s put his blood, sweat and tears into building a program in a town (school corporation) in which it’s difficult to do so. The reason is asked the question is that he’s on the cusp of a very good run with what he’s built there and I hate to see that he’s not going to be around to reap the rewards of the hard work put in by him and his staff. Just curious as to what happened as it doesn’t make sense and I was hoping to get an answer in a forum that has people that actually know in it instead of locals saying otherwise.

Start the van......

I like this idea. There will never be 100% agreement on calls made on the field, as is witnessed every Saturday and Sunday when expert pundits try to tell us which way a review will go. The amount of times these experts are wrong just shows that there is so much subjectivity, and getting an explanation as the the "why" of some calls would be refreshing. What did they see? What made them throw/not throw the flag? Yes, there are many who would still yell and complain just as loudly as ever, but it would be interesting and insightful for everyone else.
