I agree. Venue and atmosphere-wise in the Indy area, I would say Westfield and CG take the cake. Maybe Tech too. Beautiful venue. Atmosphere wise- Roncalli and the woods with fog, CG, Bburg, and Westfield. Any other significantly strong venues in the Indy area?

https://twitter.com/KyleNeddenriep/status/1232667062918623236 John Rodenberg officially hired at Roncalli. Thoughts?

Well don't be shocked if he stays in Indianapolis....

4 coaches in 8 years. Tough to build continuity within a program with that much turnover. Good luck to Rodenberg in his new position though!!

That is a veryyyyy mean stache.

In 4A, how would you rank these four jobs: Roncalli, Ole Miss, New Prairie, and Evansville Reitz? I think Ole Miss might be the best, in my opinion. Great facilities, big fish in a small-fish conference, and a navigable sectional.

Wonder if they'll be some Hamilton Country/Northside Marion County coaches that are interested in the job. It's an hour-ish commute and I've heard of head coaches making longer commutes than that for the head-honcho job.

Gotcha. Lot of work to be done if they do implement 8-man. I wish the coaches would be surveyed over co-op football though. I think that could be a great addition to the struggling numbers in rural areas.

How much will 8-man football deplete 1A and then the ripple effect that follows?

Marquee Jobs Still Open (Not in order of marquee-ness) Any other jobs that may be sleeping giants or ones that I neglected to mention? Roncalli Evansville Reitz New Prairie Ole Miss (4A team in a smaller-school conference) Wonder what other dominoes will fall once these jobs are opened. For an off-season, not a bad group of jobs to pick from!

Attendance Officer/Head Football Coach may be the best title I have ever seen. Where do I sign up for that?

If only the real Rudy could have been as cool as the Sean Astin Rudy.

Heard it is more than a mere rumor at this point...

Are there any Roncalli alums coaching elsewhere or members of the current staff who would make a good fit? Pat Kuntz, current DL coach at VMI, would be an intriguing choice if he would want it.

Triton Central (Jan 25th)----Always a good one.

Triton Central (Jan 25th): Perry Meridian OL Clinic:

Jasper, Center Grove, and New Pal were probably the hardest three to leave off in my opinion, just because of Jasper's illustrious history, Center Grove's success in the last 20 years, and New Pal's unparalleled success in the last 5 years.

My top 25 programs (in no particular order as well) 1. LCC 2. Sheridan 3. Linton-Stockton 4. Pioneer 5. Adams Central 6. Eastbrook 7. Mater Dei 8. Jimtown 9. Hobart 10. Chatard 11. Luers 12. Dwenger 13. Ritter 14. Roncalli 15. Snider 16. Carmel 17. Cathedral 18. Warren Central 19. Penn 20. Andrean 21. Northwood 22. Heritage Hills 23. Lowell 24. Evansville Memorial 25. Ben Davis Honorable Mention: Jasper, Bloomington South, Merrillville, Center Grove, Tri-West, Columbus East, West Lafayette, Rensselaer Central, SB St. Joe's, Valpo, Reitz, Scecina, Danville, Franklin Central, Bremen, Western Boone, and New Pal. My criteria was to get a certain number of teams from each region and to get a specific number of teams from each class as well. There are some HUGE programs that I left out of even the honorable mention (Avon, Franklin Central, Brownstown Central, Castle, Concord, Griffith, Lawrenceburg, Mishawaka, Mishawaka Marian, North Judson, Southridge, Westfield) but I wanted to weigh semistate and state appearances a lot more than sectional championships. Teams with lots of recent success in the last 20 years (CG, WL, NP, Wesfield) were really hard to leave off but I wanted to consider the entire program's body of work as opposed to having a recency bias. I'm sure I completely left off a few no-brainers but after referring to John Harrell, this was the list I came up with.

This right here is definitely it... Baseball/softball run rules are fantastic and have been for years. Mostly everyone enjoys the football mercy rule and has definitely done its job in its first year... But how hard is it to implement a basketball running clock? Once it hits 25 points in the 2nd half, let's get it rolling. Basketball shouldn't be exempted from a mercy rule whatsoever.

I really don't know how much anymore though but there definitely are a few St. Francis/St. Claire/OLG kids at Roncalli who'd go to CG. The two Schott boys for CG as well as Hoffman, a RB, both are "Roncalli" kids.

Both Perry and Southport are most affected by Roncalli Football. 4 Roncalli feeder schools are in Perry Township. Greenwood, Beech Grove, and Franklin Central are probably the other schools affected.

@Footballking16 When you watched Cathedral play Noblesville the past two seasons, why do you think Noblesville can't be successful then? (Not being a jerk, just wanted to know)

Agree to disagree there. When you're playing against Avon, Brownsburg, Fishers, Westfield, etc, you're not going to be able to out-athlete any of these teams with just a base spread offense. Noblesville, in 2016, ran a Shotgun version of the Single-Wing and they ended up 4-6 with close losses to Carmel, Avon, LN, and HSE. They were unique, ran a power offense behind physical offensive linemen, and played keep-away from opposing offense's.

Gotta say that most HS teams down 3 TDs in the first half aren't going to come back, regardless of whatever scheme they run. If Noblesville can be competitive, coupled with their historically solid defenses and run the T-Formation, they're going to be in solid shape in the HCC. I think people understate how difficult it is for opposing defensive coaches to gameplan for an offense that they only see once a year (Look at CG in the MIC). You have to coach up run fits, alignment, and get the Scout Offense running the T-Formation at close to full speed in a week. That's a headache for defensive coaches that is only going to help Noblesville each and every week in the HCC.
