Indiana Fan

I agree with you. I just know that Warren is appealing to any coach in Central Indiana. However, those other 3 are as well.

6A I am going with the Franklin Central Flashes...just kidding haha. I will go with Carmel. 5A Cathedral for sure. 4A Chatard

Most of Kyle Ralph's assistants are not teachers so I am not sure about bringing them with. However, I do think if he wants it it would be his. I do not see Kirschner trying for it. Pelley no way. Fisher is a great coach, but I don't see him going for it. Nick Hart maybe, but the rumor is that he will take over at Brownsburg in a couple of years. I see Warren hiring an assistant within the program. Russ Mann potentially. I also could see Pat Mallory from LN going for the job or maybe a coordinator from Center Grove. CG coaches have been very loyal at CG and seem to be content with staying there so that may be a bit of a stretch. You could also make a case for Scott Turnquist from Zionsville. in 2 years he won a 6A sectional for Ziosnville and then a 5A state runner up. Used to be the OC at Carmel so maybe he would want to get back into the MIC.

This is such an awful thread. I laugh reading these. Ridiculous claims

I have never noticed before. I thought it was funny. Looks like the kids did not enjoy it to be honest haha

They sure will miss that QB though. #6 had an outstanding state finals game. I was impressed. Side note, on the broadcast for the 6A game, the commentators mentioned Joey Siderewicz was an assistant coach for Zionsville. This is son of Center Grove assistant Joe Siderewicz and grandson of Hall of Famer Bill Siderewicz. Joey was the QB for CG in 2015 when the Trojans last went undefeated and won the state title. The Siderewicz family is continuing it's coaching tradition in Indiana.

I know it is early...WAY early. BUT, we all need something to start talking and thinking about. I am not sure about all the teams who has what for next year, but some we should have a solid idea. I want to see everyone predictions and thoughts about each team for next season. All info and thoughts are welcomed. Hopefully the programs will get a full offseason to work with players and be ready to go come end of summer. Here are my way too early projections: 1. Center Grove. They graduate a lot, but still have a phenomenal junior class. They win the MIC, but do not go undefeated this time. 2. Ben Davis. I look for the Giants to be explosive on offense and scare lots of teams. Not sure what the D looks like. T3. Carmel/Warren. Both of these teams will have solid years. They will be equal. and as a matter a fact I think the top 4 will be super competitive and will be able to throw a blanket over them. 5. North Central. Panthers have a decent year, but nothing special. 6. Pike. Lots of question marks as the Red Devils always confuse me. They are a mystery every year. 7. LN. They lose lots. Cooper will help them as he will be returning. 8. LC. The bears will continue to implode. I am expecting a 1 win or 0 win season again.

Ben Davis was still in the Semi State game 2 years in a row and Warren made it to the regionals this year by beating both North Central and LN. Say what you want, but these 2 are still in the tops of the MIC and the state. I actually feel BD and WC will have very solid teams next year.

I felt cg let up some... but the rocks did settle down and play a solid second half.

I don’t think those numbers will stay the same though. According to the DOE school compass, Harrison (West Lafayette) is tracking their population downwards and they are at 1,950 at the moment. Some of the other numbers on that list are different as well. There is a chance Whiteland jumps up to 6A with as fast as they are growing

Yes I agree. I love to see different and new matchups, but I think if these end up being the enrollment numbers that this is what the sectionals will look like.

They way I see it for 6A, Zionsville definitely goes south. Carmel goes north. Now that’s going to get interesting for sectional alignments. I really did not think Jeffersonville would be back to 6A. Obviously numbers can change from now until whenever the Ihsaa releases the new enrollments

Did Dwenger beat Zionsville or not?

Speaking of 5A yes of course Why does cathedrals special teams do forward rolls as they come on the field? looks dumb

Zionsville proved they were the 2nd best team in the state. They obviously improved tons since the beginning of the year as well. No team was able to score like that against cathedral this year.

I agree with this. Cathedral obviously has the talent level to be a 6A football team. And Zionsville has beaten and competed all year long with 6A teams. They are a 6A school that got shuffled down to 5A for this season.

If the Head coach wins the coin flip he gets choice of home or away.

Saw where the Trojans are wearing the Home Red jerseys. This is the first time they have worn these in Lucas Oil. They usually go with the all Whites.

It will be a hard fought game but the Trojans will pull away late. CG 35 Westfield 17

IU lost. I am not saying you can’t win a game or 2 like this, but to consistently win with hardly getting any rushing yards is very difficult. Especially in high school.

Ben Davis had a combined total of -11 yards rushing this year when playing CG. That’s counting the week 4 game and semi state game. Incredible stat really. It’s difficult to win when you can’t run the football.

Carson Steele. The end.

Looks like there wasn’t a change to any of the scheduling. I thought it was going to be different this year???

Dismantled? I don’t know about that game. I feel like that was a one possession game until the very end. Zionsville passed for about 250 yards that’s night

So a public school with 2,000 students should compete right with Carmel who has over 5,000? There is no other class that asks teams to compete with schools with that big of a difference of students. I get that at some point there needs to be a cut off and I agree there should be a 6A. But to ask a school to compete year in and year out with 3,000 less students is very difficult. Also I should note that yes Westfield has a great feeder program and great high school program. But They do only have 1 middle school. Where the other big schools in Hamilton County are split up. So they do have an advantage to win the middle school Hamilton County championship. Numbers do matter a lot!
