Indiana Fan

Getting late early for both of these programs. Tough spot for both really. Really interested in how these ends up. I’ve always thought highly of the Bloomington football programs. Thanks for always providing updates from down there.

Gotcha. Yeah this seems to be dragging on a bit. Seems like a good spot as well. Bad timing.

Definitely some interesting ones, but all in all it came out not too bad. Thanks for doing this as well!

Any word on the Bloomington North job?

I attended BD vs IMG that season. Another big one was Center Grove vs St Frances Academy from Baltimore. I was not able to attend that one, but that game usually gets forgotten. St Frances academy has actually beaten IMG as of lately.

Exactly. This is definitely something to consider. And those sectionals seem good to me as well. Multiple ways to do it. The IHSAA has made it difficult for themselves with this rolling 2 year SF.

I think you nailed 6A. The more I look at it, especially with a map, you have to place the 5 team sectional up in the NW corner of indiana. Sectional 1- Crown Point, Valpo, Merrillville, Lake Central, Portage Sectional 2- Elkhart, Penn, Northrop, Carroll Sectional 3- Homestead, Noblesville, HSE, Fishers Sectional 4- Harrison, Westfield, Zionsville, Carmel Sectional 5- Pike, Brownsburg, Avon, Ben Davis Sectional 6- North central, Lawrence North, Lawrence Central, Warren Central Sectional 7- Decatur Central, Perry, Southport, Franklin Central Sectional 8- CG, Whiteland, Columbus North, Jeffersonville This makes too much sense for 6A. Thanks for doing this!

I guess I didn’t think about that. I think I prefer your thought better. Makes more sense.

I think I could see Decatur be placed in sectional 7 with FC, Warren, Perry, Southport.

I’ll try 5A… North: Munster, Hammond Central, Chesterton, LaPorte, Michigan City Goshen, Concord, SB Adams, Warsaw FW South, FW Wayne, FW Snider, Huntington North Lafayette Jeff, McCutcheon, Anderson, Pendleton Heights South: Mt Vernon, Cathedral, Greenfield, New Pal Plainfield, Franklin, Arsenal Tech, Seymour Bloomington N, Bloomington S, TH South, TH North Castle, Evansville N, Floyd central, New Albany

That’s not a bad prediction. Probably how it should be. However, I do see them potentially making Decatur be in the 5 team sectional. You’re right though, several different ways 6A can go.

Week one is a much much smaller school. Not fantastic football, but they have proven they can win none the less. Lived up in that area a bit. Very low level high school ball from that school. Now IMG, pretty cool!

LC still needs a coach first. Any Lawrence Central people on here know when that process begins?

I believe what he is saying is that it is making the coaching profession look bad. High school coaches that are teachers are involved in school and around kids day in and day out. They are trained to handle kids properly and are on the same schedules. “Coaches” outside of this parameter are not around kids year long. Also, parents think that if they are sending kids to personal trainers and position like coaches that they know more than their own high school coaches. Well high school coaches aren’t usually going to be giving personal lessons. They have multiple kids to coach. They have to teach in the class room. They aren’t accepting extra payments because they are trying to get their own team better.

7 on 7 coaches and some trainers are putting a bad name and takin away from the traditional high school teachers / coaches. They are fooling parents. This incident is an absolute disgrace to youth sports and the game of high school football. These “coaches” need to be punished.

I got ya. And I’m sure it has to do with scheduling. I would assume the MIC will be moving back to scheduling games weeks 3-9. Bloomington south did play CG last year as well as cathedral. Most contracts are more than a couple years. Maybe it’ll come back to weeks 1 or 2 in the coming years.

Tried to move Cathedral to their open weeks and the Irish said no. Can’t find time within conference games now. I also remember the Irish attempting to get out of the original contract many years back and the Trojans allowed cathedral to host games. No dog in the fight. Just relaying the information that I know. I am still wishing CG, Carmel, Cathedral started a new conference or alliance during the whole CG & Carmel leaving the MIC years. Cathedral did not sound like they wanted to do so.

Any word or thoughts on this position? I haven’t seen anything at all. I feel like this is an awfully long time for one of the historically best football programs to be looking for a head coach.

Thank you so much for sharing! Great stuff! I believe 6A sectionals SHOULD look like this. Pretty obvious. North: 1. Crown Point, Lake Central, Merrillville, Valpo 2. Elkhart, Penn, Carroll, Northrop 3. Homestead, Noblesville, Fishers, HSE 4. Harrison, Westfield, Carmel, Zionsville South: 5. Pike, Brownsburg, Avon, Ben Davis 6. North Central, Lawrence North, Lawrence Central, Warren Central 7. Franklin Central, Decatur Central, Southport, Perry Meridian 8. Center Grove, Whiteland, Columbus North, Jeffersonville

What does this mean? Where did this info come from? Are they calling and choosing to interview rather than seeing applicants?

Can we get a list going here on schools we believe will be moving up or down based on enrollment numbers? These can be hard to track I know, but are there teams we should be on the lookout for to be moving with their enrollment?

I really do not understand how he won’t have to sit out once the season begins. As he will be a senior.

Quit hinting and share

Or somebody within the program…I can think of a name or 2 that they might be willing to hire.

He would have to sit out 25% of his season.
