In a weird way, the impending LACK of FB officials (nationwide) may facilitate the elimination of the 300 mile rule and games being played amongst multi-state schools on nights OTHER THAN Fridays on a regular basis.

Has anyone ever thought of a MULITPLIER with the "out" being a (negative) Success Factor to place them a lower class in line with their actual enrollment? And, YES I am aware that "tanking" will be the suggestion otherwise. But I honestly believe that no respectable Coach/School would see that as a legitimate foundation of any extracurricular activity.

Q. will do a great job at Northrop. We will see him Week One this year...

I played in MO under a 1.5 multiplier. As a HS student, it never even entered my mind that we were "playing up"....it seems to be more of a fan/parent/now social media thing.

SPOT ON!!!

Unfortunately, the KY version... Dragon football has become a "shell" of what we were when I was there. The newest HS: South Warren HS (about 2 blocks from where I lived) has far surpassed them, and it probably won't change anytime soon. Warren County Schools (KY) had 2 High Schools when we moved there from STL. I believe they now have 4 (Greenwood, South Warren, Warren East and Warren Central). As the "metropolitan" area of Bowling Green (🤣) has expanded, you are seeing a shift in athletic prowess in certain sports. Football at WCHS, is no longer the focus. It seems to be soccer and other 'country club' sports.

hey, hey....That's my alma mater!

Welp. That's why they play the game!

Yes they are...Let's be serious! Perhaps one of the KY teams is a 'wash'...but 2/3 are better. And that is NOT a swipe at the WC as it exists today.

If you are a FAN...Arrive Early! This thing could be done in an hour! Coach Doerffler may need a year or so to fully apply his 'system' to Leo... 3 Yards and a cloud of dust! Woody Hayes might like this matchup. 😐

Same 'reasons' that Carroll and Homestead aren't FULL members of the SAC.... Domination would ensue in the country club sports/academic events/etc.. Not many one outside of those 2 would get 'patches' on their letter jackets.

Not being from the "Indy Area". But this seems extremely plausible. I am also assuming that you are taking into account the TOTALITY of the other athletic/academic programs when you made this suggestion?

Wonderful to see the former Wapahani HS Pitcher, Zack Thompson (#57) make his MLB debut today (for my STL Cardinals) against the Cubs. 3 up...3 down! And a nice touch with him wearing the #57 of (the late) Darryl Kile... Gone too soon...

ARE Whiting and LaPorte still open? ARE Just cleaning this up for you Rippy.....

Agreed. And with the Sectional/Regional assignment they currently have, they avoid Indy Area schools until the Semi-State. Also, they avoid the "local rival traps" until that same round. Could be a nice thing for them if they advance.

I have a "crush" on Heather McGowan.

I wish the best for Coach Doerffler. I am surprised that he is moving to Leo; But understanding of the "talent that roams the halls of Northrop" and the inability of multiple staffs to get those individuals on the gridiron....I believe this will be a seamless transition with the Leo program. I also see a coach whose "record" is no where near reflective of his knowledge and leadership. The NE8, IMO is an absolute best of a mainly 4A Conference! I think that it will continue to be so, with perhaps a more diversified offensive approach now heading to Leo HS. As for Northrop; I also believe that they could be on the cusp of a sea-change. If a Coach and their staff could get those kids to 'buy into' the program....there is no doubt they could be a force within the SAC and perhaps 6A North. Open enrollment in the FWCS is the issue also. But no need to get all into that quagmire of an issue.

Sectionals 2 and 3 are a bit of a shock. But someone (sorry I can't recall), made mention that it was entirely possible that the FW group in #3 would be split and 2 Indy Area schools would head up I-69 (or vice versa) to fill out #3. Great Call.

Gonna throw in MY answer.... Baseball: 38 Years (9 State Finals) Football: 22 Years (3 State Finals) And apparently I am now a "Senior" citizen.... 56, I guess I am OLD now. 😒

Just chiming in on the St. Francis site suggestion. An absolutely TERRIBLE place to play a HS Football game. It is well suited for small college NAIA FB that don't have visiting teams travel. But no so much for HS Football. We had a 4A Regional matchup there a few years ago. The visiting fans were basically confined to a small section in the end zone, and a 1A sized visiting stand on the opposite sideline. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with the usage of an NAIA facility for HS football.

Yes, Purple Nurple is a GID Legend!!!

And if I can remember. This was the year that Kevin Keirmaier saved them in the Baseball Sectional Final (with 2 outs). And got himself a scholarship to Parkland JC. The rest as they say.....IS HISTORY!

Missouri played their Title games at: Mizzou and Missouri State. Kentucky played theirs at: UK and Western Kentucky Illinois played at UI-Champaign and now at NIU No idea of where you are getting your "information"

Hey guys. Just a heads up. I gave a "sit and spin" reaction to a couple of the posts. It wasn't mean to be negative... but rather a "WOW" reaction. Guess we need that emoji soon!
