Not talking about fans, talking about competition.
Lowell has played Morton every year for 15 years.......What are we talking about?

If Lowell’s priority was selling tickets, they’d have already scheduled HC. I guarantee the coaches at Andrean, Hobart, and Lowell would much ratter play the Hammond Schools then HC or Wheeler.
Programs have multiple priorities.
Hanover is locked into the Greater South Shore Conference league schedule.
Plus Lowell plays CP, Portage, Morton and Griffith. Lowell has played CP and Griffith since the dawn of time. Lowell plays Morton every year.....its not either/or..
To be in a conference you have to have a lot of IHSAA sports.
I believe Hanover and Wheeler , as vito said, has more competitive sports than Hammond does.

No way the Hammond schools could bring less than Highland and KV are currently bringing though, right? I’d have to think they’d be competitive in boys/girls basketball and track/cross country as well.
No scarab;
Morton and Hammond bring no fans to Lowell. Less than 50

Agree Highland is basically South Hammond anymore. Munster and Hammond have been good neighbors forever. I would think the two southern schools (Lowell and KV) might be the ones blocking the expansion. They can leave if they dont like. The NCC can get back to 8 by adding HM. HC, ECC and GWS. and dropping Lowell and KV. We would save a lot of travel doing it this way.
There probably wont be an 8-team conference but maybe 2 divisions. That would be 7 league games. I doubt anybody wantsthat.
What about...
NCC SOUTH
4A Kankakee Valley
4A Lowell
3A Hanover Central
4A Hobart
2A/3A ? Andrean
NCC NORTH
5A Munster
4A Highland
5A Morton
5A/4A Hammond
4A East Chicago

Two simple reasons:
- It is and always will be about the $$$. Hammond schools do not travel well.
- Conference memberships are about more than football. Morton would certainly be competitive on the gridiron. But, they would bring very little to cross country, volleyball, track, golf, tennis, etc. Same reasons for the breakup of the LAC 20+ years ago.
Exactly.
Hanover Central would be 'standing room only' at Lowell for football.......Morton and Hammond would not be.

Tell ya what not much talk now but those Linton Girls are one heckuva team. Funny I see Frankton #4 in 2A. We could very well have a repeat game a few months away! Congrats to both schools. Come on Miner Fans lets hear about our girls! BTW Linton Boys won a double header against 2 very good teams Saturday. Lets not forget them either! GO Miners!
Jan. 9, 2021 (1 p.m.) 2A No. 1 Linton vs. 3A No. 5 Crown Point
Hey GMS, why is this game at New Castle and not at Linton.
What is the event occuring at New Castle that day?

11-28-20 - CP 78, Lawrence North 75 (OT)
Jessica Carrothers (CP) 38 points

exactly. When Lowell lost to East Central a few years ago, I wasn’t all that bummed. I knew ahead of time EC was real good and the game would be something else.
That's funny. I was very confident Lowell would beat EC......but I would bet you remember this.
What happened to Hobart today was what I thought would happen to Lowell in 2005.
Roncalli had won state in 2002, 2003 and 2004 and they led Lowell 27-14 at the top of the fourth quarter...in the 2005 title game
All week long I was hoping against hope.......Lowell didnt seem to match up....
But Lowell won 28-27...15 years ago this week....I dont think I've ever seen a bigger upset
1 minute ago, Footballking16 said:Disagree. Westfield isn’t a bad team. They just aren’t the same level as Center Grove. Westfield is the best team in the state not named Center Grove or Cathedral and deserves to be here. Fighting till the end.
CG seems so much faster than in the games I saw before...Some of these mis-directions and reverses Westfield is running should work...

You forgot the Cowboys.
So right.......Lost by 25 to a team that doesn't even have a name.....

I agree. Glad NWI was repped, though. Sure the Brickies got pasted, just have to keep trying. Teams from up here have won state, so the 317 stranglehold is a conspiracy at best.
I'm glad you said that.
To make the final game, to me, is 1000% better than losing at the semistate. You and your school and your town got the state finals experience...
When you get over what happened in the game, you can rationalize that you lost to the champs.....and you gave it all you had../..

Agree. Offensively? No way. But they say defense wins championships.
I've always thought that in high school, offensive lines win championships..
If you have the ball, it doesnt matter what their offense can do..
CG just seems too big and strong for the other side

Center Grove vs. the New York Jets, who wins..??

Glad to see the Rocks get in there....makes the score a little better...
It was hard to watch Hobart this afternoon....worst loss of their careers...final game

Just now, Footballking16 said:
Just what I heard and like I said, have my doubts. But if you’re playing varsity at Cathedral as a freshman, especially QB, you know the potential is there.
I'm just kidding. Its not illegal..
Miranda Elish.....a softball player from Crown Point, was offered before she got to high school...

Please don’t try to diminish CG. Your statement could be true but is a bit insulting.
The Trojans won their games by an average of 35 points per game this season. If 6A “weren’t down” maybe they only win by an average of 25? Come on...
Ive only watched CG on tape but they're playing with a ......uhh.. violence tonight that is different..

Cathedral/CG should be a whale of a game next year as well. Cathedral returns a ton on defense and 4/5 of their offensive line. Replacing McCahill won’t be easy but rumor is their back up (freshman this year) was offered by Ball State as an 8th grader. Cannot confirm and have my doubts but just what I’ve heard from a co-worker whose son played at the same CYO program.
No way, FBK.
I didnt know you could offer an 8th grader anything but JuJu Bees
-
and 3/5 of CG's line and their QB are underclassmen, right?

Now go look what Westfield did to Zionsville.
Gulp.
49-16 Rocks...OMG

Just now, Lysander said:
Better than Westfield by this much, yes. That was a running clock game (as was Carmel a week later).
Cathedral was leading CG with a minute to go. People are still arguing here about their decision on 4th down.
True or false (I cant argue: Didnt see the game) Cathedral outplayed Center Grove, right?
-
Just now, temptation said:
The scoreboard says no but one play decided the CG/Cathedral game is I’ll say “as good.”
That's what I heard. I never saw the Cathedral-Center Grove game but from what I read, cathedral led in the final minute and CG snatched it away...
That doers not speak well for Zionsville's chances/
-
as someone who thought Merrillville was really good, this is shocking to me.
So what you're telling me is: Cathedral is even better than this.
-
I know they look at 5-foot-11 and see 'defensive back" but I hope he gets a chance as a slot receiver.

That someone could be Westfield. This year, playing the same schedule as the varsity, and yes, that includes Cathedral, Westfield's JV and freshmen teams both went undefeated. Their eight grade team (not sure of their schedule) also went undefeated.
Great night for your guys, WR...........They are that good.
Like they used to say on the old Monday night wrestling shows.......
I can smell what the Rocks are cooking!

If the Homestead beatdown didn't convince you, then you'll find out Friday. Then CG will beat down on Westfield.
You were right on it, Stax.....
Not close at all.........You said 21..........and the Pirates could not keep it even that close. I am surprised...
..and you're telling me Centre Grove is 21 better than Westfield?

No scarab....for the record....
Lowell and Morton have met in the regular season every year since 2004...not counting this season...it is a regularly scheduled game. They meet twice in many seasons. They cant play Morton any more than they already do.
..and you may have a slightly out-of-date view of Hanover Central
Hanover was 24-2 in basketball last year and they beat Morton by 33
Hanover beat Munster by 33 in football and was 9-2/
I believe that Hanover has 19 IHSAA sports....no gymnastics.
Hanover has won state in softball and has been to the state finals in baseball/ they would not be doormats. Hanover is strong in tennis and they were section champs in boys basketball. Only Covid stopped them.
Conferences are not 100% about being competitive/ Its whether you field teams in all sports.
I think Hanover and Wheeler have more sports teams than Hammond and Morton do,.
