Coach Seiss is fantastic, and an absolute benefit to IN HS Football. I would not ever say anything disparaging about the things he has brought to the "game". This also goes with Coach Busea at Crown Point!
These are programs that are "Region based" and on the cusp of breaking out towards a State Finals... If not a State Championship in the ensuing years. Anyone who is a Northerner would love for a Championship in the top 2 Classes to head beyond US24 (Fort Wayne also) .... Let's be honest.
As an official, I don't care who wins. As a fan, I moved and live above US24.
I delve into the Indy Area on a frequent basis to officiate. I just want and need the programs in the "North" to show on a consistent basis, that they are capable of competing at the highest of levels within IN HS Football.
In all actuality, It kind of harkens to the SEC/Big 10 issues of the past 10+ years. At this point the Big 10 has figured things out, and are now absolutely on par...if not better than the SEC. I can easily see that happening within IN HS Football soon.
