Trojan

Hoping you all can help settle an argument I'm having with a coworker.  At one point someone posted the all-time winning percentages by program.  Does anyone have access to this info?  If so, you'll settle a small squabble between a Hobart Brickie and a Chatard Trojan.

I've been a little out of the loop these last few years, so forgive the ignorance.  How did Chatard only spend one year in 4A?  Is this a COVID thing?

Good to see you back….it’s been some time.

Finally made it to a game in person, so I feel I can post again. Glad to see you’re still ruling the roost.

Passive aggressive much, Lysander. You are the most gushing, obnoxious Chatard apologist on the board. Evidenced by your 6 paragraph post on how good Chatard and Doyle is. Funny.
 

Pound sand. You'll always be Cathedral's little red-headed step child. Roncalli wins by 2 TDs. Roncalli running game rolls. 

I’m just glad to see it took less than a day for the bait to be taken.  Thanks for adding the last two sentences so your post somehow pertains to the thread?

I really don't either, but sticking to the blocking and tackling of life usually works out pretty well.

I'm looking forward to this game.  I'll take Chatard by 2 scores.

Hope you're right.  If they control the battle up front and stay strong on D, I think we'll be looking at #15.

Talk on Mater Dei, Reitz, and Tri-West.  Either I missed the point of this thread, or there isn't a whole lot of interest in this game.

So based on your experience are you going to “play harder?”  It’s the state championship for goodness sake.

In my experience, the added history can be a motivation to prepare harder.  In the next week, that can factor in to whether or not a high school kid goes to a bonfire or spends an extra hour breaking down film.  Anyone who has been involved with a football team knows that the practices and preperation during the week is not always the same.  The history can add to focus.

This kind of analysis always makes me chuckle.  The current Chatard seniors were in 8th grade/freshmen the last two times they were knocked out by Danville, basically meaning not one player from either team played a meaningful snap the last two times they were on opposing sidelines.

Makes for a cool storyline building up to the game for folks to talk about but means nothing of substance when predicting how the game is going to actually play out.

The coaching staff can circle whatever they want, but they aren’t suiting up.

Maybe things at Danville and elsewhere are different, but I'm sure the current Chatard seniors remember well what happened in 8th grade and freshmen year.  They were probably all at those games.

My senior year we beat HH in semi-state, and we absolutely remembered our freshmen year losing to them.  It was brought up often.  Hell, there were even seniors who's brothers had had their hs football career ended by HH that they remembered.  Same thing my junior year when we beat Cincy Elder.  They were the only loss my 8th grade year for Chatard.  History matters and even if these kids were young, they understand that they are part of something bigger than themselves.

Can't wait to see redemption.

I did a google search for distances from Heritage Hills to the high schools we played in 2000 and 2004 because if we win Friday we would have 3 trips to state and only 1 home game each time.

Did the high school distances and added Indianapolis distance for the final and used Indy for Chatard 2004 also because believe game was at Pike but cant remember for sure. 

2000
@ Washington 93.8
@ Mount Vernon 114.4
Memorial home
@ Whiteland 265
@ Roncalli 278.4
State 279.8
total miles round trip 1031.4

2004
@ Sullivan 182.2
@ Princeton 102
Mater Dei home
@ Batesville 351.8
@ Chatard 279.8
State  279.8
total miles round trip 1195.6

You’ll have to recalculate for 04.  That was played at Franklin Central.  07 was Pike. 
 

As for those guaranteeing a Chatard victory, I hope the team isn’t paying attention to that talk.  Opponents have been overlooked before for a disappointing Friday, including that trip to Franklin township.

I know this has been brought up a gillion times, but how is Chatard possibly on the road? I thought for sure they would be home.
