You're just not looking at it the right way. 😀

Wow so 2nd best public school in nation that’s quite an honor.

Not in 2021.

My uncle is only two balls from being my aunt.

I have one that is an "Aunt"....Times have changed 🤨 But I totally agree with you, and those that are in line with the NATIONAL rankings boards that have CG @ #5 Nationally. Who cares what those think about "what if's and what could have happened"? Who's to say if the player had caught the TD pass, that CG may not have stormed down the field and scored? Besides, I am still dealing with that GOOFBALL who thought he saw a 'change of possession' and clearly upon "replay review"... was absolutely BLIND!. That guy sucked! I am gonna deal with him, next time I run into him. Because I know exactly who he is! 😀

Still waiting for you to quote me on that. The rest of your post is your normal gibberish.

Imagine attempting to display outrage at a fellow poster and claim disrespect because he is stating his opinion on a mythical poll in which he probably still thinks CG is a top 25 team just not top 5. @Footballking16and I have our differences on this board and rarely agree but you attacking his opinion is comical. If Brady Allen doesn’t deserve Mr. Football in @Grover’s opinion due to lack of competition than you also have to question CG being placed in front of teams with much better resumes who have played tougher competition.

http://scoreboard.homestead.com/boys/logsPlymouth.htm#loaded Looks like Plymouth Basketball is struggling as well. What has happened to the athletic culture of that school? In all but the most recent New Prairie's playoff meetings with them, they have represented themselves well. I understand that communities and cultures change, but this seems to have happened VERY rapidly.

As a Packer fan, I say keep him around.

Which is hypocrisy because these same two posters are trying to discredit a certain POY award winner in a thread just below this.

Absolutely nobody discrediting Center Grove's success. Why go there? Just have a hard time believing there are only 4 high school teams in America better than Center Grove. Center Grove doesn't play near the schedule that some of these teams ranked just behind them do nor do they have near the overall talent. Teams like St. Thomas Aquinas and Bishop Gorman have 15-20 legitimate D1 prospects and play nationally ranked teams week in and week out. Guessing if Center Grove played that kind of schedule, they'd be an afterthought for a top 5 ranking. Just an opinion.

I don't see it....

I generally agree with this. I obviously don't watch/follow football nationally in they way you do, just find it hard to believe that a team like Center Grove is better than a team like St. Thomas Aquinas who has 15-20 kids with legitimate D1 offers. The competition these teams play in metro hotbeds like Dade/Broward Co, Houston, Dallas, LA, ATL, is just ridiculous, not to mention the private/prep schools who play national schedules.

Again, I hate to play devil's advocate, but having seen all of the ten teams listed play, I just don't see it. Let's start with Corona (CA) Centennial, ranked 10th. An 11-1 team, whose only loss was to top rated Mater Dei in a game that they led in the second half. The week prior to that I watched them destroy a very good Mission Viejo team 62-16. In addition to that game, they defeated #67 San Diego Cathedral Catholic (57-14), Long Beach Poly (52-7) and Norco (48-24). Those are quality high school football teams. Let's move on to #9, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, who was probably playing better at the end of season than any team in the country, winning Florida's Class 7A in cakewalk 42-14 over an undefeated Tampa Bay Tech team. Their only loss was to #15 ranked Tampa Jesuit on a last second field goal. They were the only team to defeat #3 Baltimore St. Francis Academy. They did not break a sweat in winning the state title as the Tech game was their closet game. I have them ranked 13th in the country. Oh, and talking about Tampa Bay Jesuit, they are rated #8, one spot above Center Grove. They did beat Aquinas, along with a win over Miami Northwester, but I was not impressed by their title win over Pensacola PIne Forest (35-29) and have actually dropped them to #15. As I look at this poll, I do not see Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy, whose only loss was to St. Francis Academy nor do I see Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, who only loss was to highly rated Chandler (AZ) Hamilton in a game that they led 24-10 with less than a minute to play. All polls make for great debate, mine gets ripped on PrepGridiron each week but I enjoy compiling them and am very open to criticism and input which you must be to put these things out.

Kouts, westville, Morgan twp, washington twp, lacrosse, and Hebron closer but they play volleyball so not sue if the would switch to 8 man.

If Rex Ryan were to get the Bear HFB job, would his wife get a Justin Fields tattoo, also?

Indeed, I haven't forgotten the Scheller/Sellers boys, they were all tough. To be honest, I really envy the development of the QB as GS. In case anyone wasn't paying attention, we typically ask the question, "who is our most athletic senior?", CONGRATS you are the QB! Sometimes that is the answer, but most the time, if you want to make deep runs, you must develop the young guy. We have a current freshman that I would think would be the go to guy, and a 7th grader that could take over right after him. Gut says it won't happen.

There's also a chance that both will capitulate, drop 11-man football, and join in on the new 8-man program after the inaugural year.

You’re not out of the water yet lol if Coach Hart has shown one thing…it’s that he can develop QBs. Scheller-Sellers-Sellers-Allen….All 4 have been 3A All state QBs. The next QB might not have the arm of Allen but I’m sure he’s going to have every opportunity to join the previous 4 starting QBs for GS at the All State level

Hold up. You literally interviewed Columbus North head coach Tim Bless back in July and, in that interview, he whined about the unfairness of having to play the 6A mega schools in the state tournament every year. He said the size discrepancy was “ridiculous and, in some cases, borderline unsafe.” So my question to you is, based on that interview, how do you justify Columbus North making the move to the MIC when Ben Davis is more than twice the size of North, Warren Central and North Central are nearly twice the size of North, and Pike has 1,000+ more students than North? Is that not a “safety concern”? North can’t even get out of sectionals due to a Center Grove team that has roughly 500 more students enrolled than North. Was he suggesting they were too big for North to compete with as well? If so, then Lawrence North would be too big also since they’re slightly bigger than Center Grove. So I guess what I’m really saying is this. Either your suggestion of Columbus North jumping to the MIC is ridiculous or Tim Bless is full of crap and is bitter about not being able to beat Center Grove.

As a side topic: In the 1966 MLB Draft (first ever), three Indiana High School players were drafted 12th round Larry Bishop C by the California Angels from Indianapolis Howe 9th round Dan Bootcheck P by the Detroit Tigers from Michigan City (I think his grandson also played for the Angels as well) 4th round Karl Simon OF by the Chicago White Sox from South Bend Central

that is not attacking or discrediting anyone.....there was a difference between him and Curry. Those are facts. I see you left out the repeated times I stated he was an outstanding player.

At no time did I ever discredit any high school football player. I even stated he was an outstanding player. I simply stated the young man we were pulling for is a better ALL AROUND football player....given he played both sides of the ball and special teams. But I also understand the history of award recipients and stated such. I never typed or stated one negative word when Mr. Allen received the award. Not one. I just wonder if you are man enough to admit this and apologize for making your above statement which is blatantly false. you are indeed pathetic

You're right, I apologize. It was all Rock attempting to discredit Brady Allen as Mr. Football winner. Sorry for lumping you in, that's not good company to be associated with. That being said, I still don't think Center Grove is one of the 5 best teams in America. Worthy of a top 25 ranking (undefeated, state champs, etc) in my opinion, but if they played the type of schedule that many of the teams in the top 25 play I think their record would reflect as such. No doubt football in Indiana is growing (and getting better), but it's still light years behind South Florida, Texas, CA, etc.

Helluva point.
