If you are talking a DAC all-star team I’m all ears.

side note I've got an absolute cannon so center grove counts

It was 12 years ago today that the GID suffered a devastating blow from which many thought it would never recover. The founder and guiding spirit of the forum, Tim Adams, passed away suddenly. Tim was a long time coach, and a tireless promoter of Indiana high school football. I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten to know him and call him a good friend. I know many of the people on the forum now joined after Tim passed, and they know him only by the occasional references on here. Perhaps others who knew him might share some of their recollections of this very good man.

This thread totally brings a smile to my face. TA was one of one, and his passion for Indiana high school football was unmatched. Honestly, I felt like I lost a family member the day I read of his passing. It's so great his legacy lives on through this forum.

Hence, my qualifier: “as long as Coach Buzea is on the job.” He was seriously ill years ago, but has made a fantastic comeback. He’s something like 63 yrs. old.

CP has a great chance to emerge as the next Beast of the True North as long as Coach Buzea is on the job. That school is only going to get bigger. They have great facilities and community support. Very good school. As transfers get easier and easier, and the influx of Illinois families continues, the Bulldogs are poised to become the new Penn — and a destination for athletes. Now whether that gets them anything on Thanksgiving weekend is another question.

I think Merrillville was the only chance and they just don't have the enrollment. Like you said, they were stacked with talent in 2020 and 2021 and still couldn't get past Westfield (and Chatard). Could possibly have had 2 NFL players. Grant is seemingly a lock to go 1st round. MAYBE Jo Jo Johnson can work his way into the NFL if he can get healthy in college. I'm not even sure if he will crack IU's 2 deeps this year. But, he was an electric WR / DB in HS. I'm skepitcal of Crown Point as well. They will always have talent and elite coaching. Counting the '25 class, last years Crown Point team had at least 5 MAC recruits. But, one thing Cody was always right about is that Crown Point hasn't had any elite speed athletes like a Jo Jo Johnson or Justin Marshall (Merrillville --> Colorado State) and it showed against Ben Davis. The Giant WR's and RB's looked like men against boys when playing Crown Point.

Unless I'm losing my mind, isn't Crown Point part of 'da region'?

That's my mistake. That's who I thought he was referring to.

Thanks for bringing back to front page !! RIP T.A.

Rumor is they moved all the dirt from Castle’s crown to a hole in Arizona. Now the Grand Canyon is only the ‘Moderately good’ Canyon.

Just wait till da region has a 6A team....then it's game on!
