None that I’ve heard so far

I always thought Life was the classiest of all with that fancy plastic spinner.

Although not on the 2-deep fall roster, Charlie Spegiel of New Pal is starting to turn some heads. I'd look for him on special teams this season.

I take it back. You are playing Candy Land. Penn and Fishers are “terrible” huh? Both have played in the state finals recently. So, it’s NOT enrollment and it’s NOT socioeconomics...so it’s ALL culture I’m betting? So, when is Edinburgh scheduling Carmel? They seem to have turned the corner when it comes to culture based on DT’s interview last week.

Not hard to understand. 20 years ago Center Grove was no different than Warsaw, LC, Southport, Perry Meridian, etc. playing in a class with schools that had twice their enrollment. They figured it out. They didn't used to be an outlier.

https://mises.org/wire/inflations-assault-family In the absence of any graphs or balance sheets depicting current monetary inflation rates, I recommend anyone interested visit the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) site and access their many tutorials to get started. Verifications aside, none of the following should come as a shock to those following government responses to covid-19. Having limited economic activity through lockdowns, global governments have turned to their central banks to bail out their citizens and businesses alike. Growing government reliance on central bank monetary policies was evident long before this "pandemic." Still, many have only recently become aware of the staggering rate at which the money supply has increased. To reiterate, this increase in money supply is what we call "monetary inflation" or simply "inflation." What does history teach us about this topic? Murphy's article demonstrates the dangerous effects by referencing three historical examples of hyperinflation, the US Civil War, the Weimar Republic, and, more recently, Zimbabwe, which experienced unimaginable price inflation. Regarding the latter, he writes, But how does increasing the quantity of money cause consumer prices to rise? In his book What You Should Know about Inflation, Henry Hazlitt explained their relationship like this, In the era of global lockdowns, we've seen increasing supplies of money, decreasing supplies of goods, and governments financing their citizens to forgo work and stay home. Fewer workers produce fewer goods, and as we've just learned, fewer supplied goods with increasing supplies of money lead to higher prices. Although we haven't experienced anything remotely close to Murphy's earlier precedents, many families are being squeezed. Fortunately, avenues do exist which lead to improved financial outlooks. Living within one's means, avoiding "bad" debt, implementing a budget, and substituting goods when specific prices soar, to name a few. Sadly, authoritarian governments equipped with central banking policies minimize the positive effects of making responsible personal choices. In my family's case, having exhausted all other options, increasing our revenue stream was the only card left to play. I can't say enough about my wife—she's a rock. Together, we know what we want for our family despite where the rest of the world may be heading. We knew there would be challenges and we would need to make sacrifices along the way—but it's been worth every last one of them. We're raising our children and leaving little to the state. We won't shelter them from opposing views. That wouldn't be right. Instead, we will introduce distinct topics and world views on our terms and will encourage our kids to think critically. Some say our aspirations will fail, and perhaps they're right. God only knows. Until then, you'll find us here in our home, building up our legacy—inflationary policies be damned. Yep, uncheck government spending, resulting in inflation, is slowly destroying families.

Do I really have to explain it for the tenth time? Did you read this entire thread? Good post. The IHSAA would make that final decision.

Great idea, but right now I think the IHSAA has their hands full with determining whether or not to change the overall numbers in 6A. I agree that 24 teams isn't perfect, but at least we are giving the bottom eight a morsel of a chance. Does that stink for the #24 team? Probably. But yes, a line has to be drawn somewhere.

I couldn't agree more. You and I are on the same page on this. The teams you mention fit in perfectly with Snider and Dwenger. Let the champion move up to 6A for a couple of years to test the waters at the next level as the success factor is intended.

By limiting 6A to 24, the end result will be a more competitive 5A. Nothing would be changed much at 6A, because the same 8-10 schools will be in contention every year. The success factor was introduced roughly the same time, or maybe it was even at exactly the same time - my memory is fuzzy. But the SF point system to "stay up" has been modified once or twice since then. After a decade or so of 6A football, I see no problem modifying it as well to improve competition at the 5A level. What makes 32 the magic number?

Not to sound cruel but there are lots of schools who are an afterthought in tournament time. Some years, that's been everybody but one school in a class. But then when someone dominates, where do we draw the line? How many trophies do we hand out?

Quite the bigoted comment. So tolerant of you. Have a great day. I agree with an earlier poster....it will be interesting to see if this name change will hurt in regards to alumni donations.

IndyCar qualifying taking place at 7PM on Friday at IMS , just about 1.5 miles away from Johnson Field. Should make for some pretty awesome background noise as the Stars scrimmage the Sparkplugs!

So make 6A a class of four schools because you won't be happy until then.

Didn’t answer my question. Thanks. Not surprised.

Thanks for the history lesson on CG. I don't care even a little if we catch Carmel in state titles. You are the second person to bring this up and it makes zero sense. I am more proud of our accomplishments because of the disparity. Moving the bigger schools out of the way and beating whoever is left would be a hollow victory.

Actually, no. Everybody just wants an opportunity to compete in their own weight class.

Substance only please. Dumbest contribution to this thread yet.

So a Christian is a whack job?

We need to get this thread to the longest thread ever with 1 million views.. I say we keep it 🙂.

Northrop and North Side will be non factors this year. There is more locker room reading material.

First time in 35 years, it will one hell of an atmosphere.

I’ve been to several games there and it’s hands down the best HS FB venue in the state. Looking forward to working my first game there this year.

He already did. Current Booster.
