21-22 DOE Enrollments
Indiana Fan replied to HoopsCoach's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
There has to be a cutoff somewhere. And those are 3 different school districts correct (Homestead, Carroll, Northrop)? -

I really like your 2nd option for navigating those Hamilton county schools. This actually makes more sense in keeping HSE, Fishers, Noblesville up I-69 with Homestead and Zville, Carmel, and Westfield together with Jeff coming down 65. -
21-22 DOE Enrollments
Indiana Fan replied to HoopsCoach's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Only change I would make to the south is that Sectional 6 and 7 are flip flopped. I’m still not sure on how to go about the north. Potentially you could send Zionsville up 65 to Lafayette. I am really unsure on those. -

Lots of frustration as to why these numbers have not been released by the IHSAA yet. -
New MIC Opponents 2023
Indiana Fan replied to Indiana Fan's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
It sounds like there are a few who want to continue to play them and some who do not. In my opinion, MIC schools kicking them out was just asinine. -
New MIC Opponents 2023
Indiana Fan replied to Indiana Fan's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I am assuming the contracts were through 2022 with schedules already in place. I am not sure if they will compete for a MIC championship though -

Conference Realignment: Mid-State
Indiana Fan replied to Indiana Fan's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I believe it is only a matter of time. 6 schools remain. The outliers are the Terre Hautes. Which they are stuck in an odd situation with being that far west in the state compared to the other 4 schools. Southport attempted to leave a few years back with looking at a new conference. Columbus North has has fished around as well. I believe Columbus North and the Bloomingtons are probably wanting some stability and want a place that will help their strong athletic backgrounds grow. -
Conference Realignment: Mid-State
Indiana Fan replied to Indiana Fan's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I will as well -
With continued talks of conference realignment and the ramifications of Carmel and CG exiting the MIC, the Mid-State Conference is one of the best growing athletic conferences in the State. Great schools and great competition in not only football, but in every sport. Sure it is not as big as the MIC or HCC in terms of enrollment and product of play, but it is turning into one heck of a conference. There was an article from the Daily Journal that came out not too long ago about the future of the Mid-State and you have to think there are schools who would like to join. Although the conference is already at 8 schools, does not mean they are set. It would not surprise me if they look to expand and grow into an even bigger conference. There are 4 schools that should immediately be banging on the door for an entrance in. These 4 schools are Southport, Columbus North, Bloomington North, and Bloomington South. These schools are members of the dying Conference Indiana and need to find a home quickly. This will obviously help with scheduling stability, which these 4 schools struggle each year with, but also be a great fit with competition and distance to games/events. This would place 12 schools in the Mid-State. For football, they could definitely come up with a 2 division scenario for games. Mid-State West- Plainfield, Decatur Central, Mooresville, Martinsville, Bloomington North, Bloomington South Mid-State East- Southport, Perry Meridian, Greenwood, Whiteland, Franklin, Columbus North 1 Nonconference, 5 Inter division games, 2 games from other division, Championship week 9 (1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, 4vs4, 5vs5, 6vs6). There are some different sizes of schools in the Mid-State, but I do not think the difference in sizes is too much for a sport like football. All these schools would benefit from many factors, especially the proposed new schools from CI. I am not sure if Mid-State members are open to expansion, but I do think this would be one heck of a new conference and push to being one of the best in the state. There would be so many great matchups and rivalries with great crowds and exposure.

Roncalli job open
Indiana Fan replied to Footballking16's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I think the other issue of pay with private schools is the retirement. They just do not get the same as a public school. I am sticking with my guess on that O'Shea is pursuing this job opportunity. It just makes too much sense. I have no resource on this, just a guess. I definitely can see this happening. It will be interesting to see how soon Roncalli makes a decision as I am sure they want to get a head coach in before Spring Break rolls around. -

Successful Programs
Indiana Fan replied to Trojanmp52's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Some programs can be great programs run by great coaches, but because of certain factors they do not have a great chance of winning a state title. There have been many instances of this. You look back at the great Martinsville teams of the 80's and a couple of their mid to late 90's teams. They were unbelievable teams and one of the top programs in the state, but with them being in the largest class there was no chance of them consistently beating Ben Davis, Warren, Carmel in the playoffs. They competed the best they could and got everything out of that program and players at the team. It was still a very successful program at the time even though they did not win state championships. Instances like that continue today with some other factors built in as well. I don't think its fair to base programs and say that they are successful or not just by the number of state titles they have won. -

Some schools can have very successful programs but never win a state championship. Some schools are just not set up to win them. -
New MIC Opponents 2023
Indiana Fan replied to Indiana Fan's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
What happens when those schools in the Indy area won’t play Carmel, CG, BD, Warren? I believe that’s probably why they are forced to go play Cincinnati and Louisville schools
