Possibly. Conferences are increasingly becoming outdated, and are mostly irrelevant when it comes to the state tournament.

Democrats speak out: https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/12/01/redistricting-shows-gop-out-of-touch-with-hoosiers/ If they have not already I urge all Hoosiers to contact their state representative and let them know of your opinion regarding this. I have.

Of course Frankfort would. It may be a "4A" school by enrollment, but a "2A" school at best in regards to it's football program. I would even say possibly even 1A. How would relegation work? It could start with studying how it is currently done in soccer: https://www.si.com/soccer/what-is-relegation-in-soccer FTA: Are you not a fan of "the regular season really meaning something"? Promotion/relegation has that built in where the current IHSAA tournament structure for the most part does not . AKA, everyone deserves a trophy. We get it.

"Crude" is the primary word here. A true system of promotion and relegation is the obvious answer, and it is far from crude.

It does up to a point, and the GOP wants to give it even more. And as the opinion piece states, this is mostly due to influence form outside of Indiana; aka Trump. And most GOP politicians are too cowardly to tell him to go pound sand. Do you support mid-cycle congressional re-districting in this particular case, Bobref?

I'm not wealthy enough to shop there anymore, so I wouldn't know.

Knights win the 1A state title in 2026. You heard it here first.

Meh. Cascade has their "once in 10-20 year team" that is common for small to mid size government schools, while Luers just reloads from the vast pool of "omg! athletes' that a population area the size of Fort Wayne provides. And that easy Monon Athletic Conference schedule does Cascade no favors. If they win today they really think about getting out of that nascent conference. They are a Hendricks county doughnut school, their enrollment and pool of athletes will only continue to grow as urban sprawl crawls westward.

*yawn* The p/p hegemony in the lower enrollment classes is still in place. Until that changes most of the Friday and Saturday games will be boring, and not worth my time.

Mr. LaFleur is an unabashed cheater, with no honor and no scruples. "Time out" my ass. The Packers, already a low organization, have sunken even lower under his "leadership", along with the people of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Mr. Trump once again shows what a horrible person he is: https://reason.com/2025/11/19/a-reporters-unwelcome-questions-provoke-yet-another-trump-threat-to-yank-broadcast-licenses/

Where is the best BPT sandwich? Southern Gibson county or Southern Hendricks county?

Both of these 1A schools would probably have defeated "4A" Frankfort this year.

Thanks for the info. Also interesting that this was the current A.D.'s first football coach hire and he decided to stay "in-house". We will see what difference if any that will make.

Hmm. Mr. Dudley is also the varsity baseball coach at FHS, I wonder if that has now changed? He has built a competitive baseball program over the years. We'll see what he can do with a football program that really can't sink much lower.

I sure wish schools could get bumped down due to lack of wins, regardless of what class their enrollment puts them at.

The farmers have to have their sons and daughters out in the fields on Saturday. Or they have travel baseball/soccer/volleyball/swimming competitions.

But he wins the cool name contest, hands down.
