Right now, being the new kid to 6A and switching conferences, they are going to have some struggles getting some of the other 6As to pull them in for, at least, a home-and-home for a few years, much less a regular seasonal schedule-mate. I'm hoping that they will be able to gain some foundation as they get past these transitions and become more desirable as an opponent for other 6As and upper 5As. Just about a decade ago, this was a program that posted three 0-10 seasons in a row and hadn't seen a winning season since 1996 until Coach Peeples showed up in 2014, so getting on track is certainly doable. The ping pong balls are going to be problematic for Harrison in the near future as they have former-nemesis Westfield in Sectional 3 along with really large school, Carmel.

Not necessarily "upgrades" per se, but some steps in the right direction until things get more on track. Harrison was finally starting to get some traction in 5A, then slipped into the lower part of 6A. Then toss in that the coach that was getting them to progress, departed. Of course, being booted from their conference added to all of the instability, but to be honest there wasn't much in the NCC for them to really get them ready for post-season outside of Jeff and occasionally Kokomo. With that said, their schedule has some challenges to it this year. While argument can be that they are playing outside of their class, which is likely to be the case for most 6A schools without a conference, it's not a bad start to working toward getting some stabilization. They kickoff with West Lafayette and Plainfield as they have in the last couple of seasons. Plainfield and Harrison were fairly evenly matched over the last three seasons. West Lafayette is West Lafayette and is typically a strong contender in their class. Harrison will also be playing Brebeuf, Roncalli, and Chatard which will be a much better mix that playing Richmond, Anderson, and Marion. Incidentally, Harrison has been playing Chatard and Brebeuf over the years in freshman and JV games, so this isn't necessarily a new twist to the relationships. They still will play sister school McCutcheon and cross-river rival, now 5A, Jeff. They will add Lebanon, who will be a new conference partner, and a 6A team, North Central. Again, not a phenomenal schedule, but one that at least goes in the right direction, especially accounting for all of recent changes to their situation.

Two matchups I would love to see: Vincennes Lincoln vs Centralia in girls basketball would put the Alices vs the Orphan Annies. Pekin (IL) vs Eastern (Pekin) - a small school tilt that could be billed WWE style as a ‘loser gives up their town name’ flair.

I think the vast majority of those schools would fall in the lower three classes in Indiana. Mt. Carmel - the town not the Chicago version - was very competitive in the Big 8 and would play in the 3A/4A (out of 8 ) class. Depending on which counties would be annexed, I’m sure Breese Mater Dei and Springfield Sacred Heart Griffin would be schools to deal with, because they’re cheating Catholics too.

Southport and CN would have no business being in the HCC. They would get dog walked in the large majority of sports, and the HCC wouldn't even consider either of the two

Once you've conquered the state, you're no longer interested in conquering the west side? Ben Davis' best days are behind them, Brownsburg's best are in front of them.

I made those predictions before last Friday’s games were played. I was trying to decide whether to pick Pioneer or Eastbrook as the 2A state finalist from the North. So of course I picked the wrong team. My 2A prediction is now Western Boone over Eastbrook. I don’t think any less of Eastbrook for losing a competitive game to an excellent team in Marion that I think will make the 4A State Finals this season.

@WCGrad92 @Coach Nowlin I can’t figure out how to get to the voting page.
