Unsure as to why the 6A would change how they have been in the past…??? It’s the same schools with additions ones that slot right in in the north. Don’t see IHSAA switching sectionals up that much.
The majority of high school AD’s do not have quality or good high school football programs. For those ADs at those schools, it was an easy no brainer vote to turn it down. They prefer the random draw because they do not want to get stuck playing the best seeds and teams each and every year. It’s not right, it’ll be very difficult to ever get past this ancient random draw rule.
Should’ve been the entire HCC. HCC schools did not want to vote CG or Carmel in. This is what it would have looked like if a 9 game schedule would have been voted on.
5A south:
Plainfield, Decatur central, Whiteland, Franklin
Anderson, East Central, Seymour, Columbus East
terre haute n, terre haute s, Bloomington N, Bloomington S
Castle, Evansville N, Floyd, New Albany
Keep in mind HCC also voted down Carmel to join as well. Can’t blame that one on travel time. People tend to forget that. I think travel time is a poor excuse.
Indystar just put out an article about the upcoming enrollments. Enrollments will be released in the coming days. Can’t wait. However, they said it would be end of April before the sectional alignments are determined. Man that seems like a long time period to configure those.
Agreed. Play Indiana teams. Or schools that relatively nearby. Traveling 7 hours or so to play a short high school football game…cmon. As a fan, I’d rather see OUR INDIANA schools play.
Is Carmel still not playing CG?
