I don't see it happening, especially since the Town Of Sheridan recently annexed some of that land. The only thing that was brought up and is a dead deal was there was a landowner with land on the northwest corner of 31 and 38,. He was looking to sell for development. Some of that land is in Adams Township (Sheridan). Westfield was talking about annexing that into the city limits.

HSE district would add a third high school before Carmel ever would add a second one. I once knew someone in their admin, now about 25 years ago. Carmel was "huge" then compared to most other schools. He told me that it would never happen.

Ha Ha

Westfield trailed Carmel in the 4th by just 10, and had the ball near the Carmel red zone when they turned it over. Carmel went right down and scored a touchdown, and added another one late in the game. So I would not call that game a blowout. If they meet again in the sectional, and especially if the game is at Westfield, there could be a different outcome.

I read the Edinburgh game was cancelled, as well as homecoming festivities, due to harassment. There were no details given, but seems similar to what happened up in Wheeler.

Without seeing the line scores, it's hard to see how teams are scoring in the 70's and 80's with the running clock. Maybe a good chunk of those points are coming in the first half. It's almost sad looking at the scores of some of these teams. Cambridge City has not won more than one game since 2015. Those came against either Union County or Union City, two schools that have similar records in recent years.

Could WC afford Wright? Carmel had no problem in that area.

Westfield came back to win 21-17

Agree. I have a relative that works for a real estate closing company that primarily deals with that area. She told me several years ago that area west of Plainfield was the next to boom.

What about Marion Co kids making the trip on US 52 to play at New Pal? Is that happening, or are a huge number of their kids home grown, from elementary on up?

What about all of the high scores, many by teams that you would not consider powerhouses? Two scored over 80. Several more over 70. What would they have scored without the running clock???

Plus, few can compete with these two schools in the sports other than the two you mentioned. That also includes girls sports. Maybe in track, wrestling, that's about it.

Carmel apparently is getting their money's worth by luring back former coach Kevin Wright. Three games, all at home, but still, only Westfield's 31-10 loss to them was the closest of the three games. They and the 'Burg could be headed to a LOS showdown Thanksgiving weekend.

Through the first three weeks, there seems to have been a large number of games ending in blowouts. This is not even a case of a power school over a weaker conference opponent. Teams that are not nearly powerhouses are putting up 50, 60, 70+ points. And that is with the 35 point mercy rule in effect. Any particular reasons?

Didn't I read here during the summer that Cathedral had an assistant leave for N. Central, and had a bunch of players follow him?

Glad to have you back! Thanks for all of your work. So what caused the site to go down?

Avon and Brownsburg both have had a large enrollment increase in recent years. Avon is now the 7th largest high school, ahead of HSE and just behind Fishers. Maybe some "overflow" from Wayne Township, although Wayne's numbers look steady.

I thought that Westfield vs. Center Grove was to be a home and home. After Westfield pulled the upset at CG last year, maybe CG wanted out of traveling north LOL Anyway, maybe it was only a one year deal.

I was surprised each week when I looked at the WC stats to see how much fewer yardage Garnett, the transfer kid from Westfield, was getting. The kid had over 1,300 rushing and receiving yards the prior year against that tough schedule that Westfield plays. He practically brought them back from the dead in that Semi State at Crown Point. Last year at WC, less than 800 total yards. Maybe he was injured? Poor offensive line play, poor coaching?

No. Carmel was moved to the south for those two years.

Maybe they will draw Anderson :)

Agree. Looks like they just plugged in DC, who moved up via the success factor, into Cathedral's old 6A slot. These two sectionals for Hamilton County are the same as fall of 2024.

Not football, but sort of the same thing in this example. I had heard decades ago from someone that would know that it was common in Marion County for high school basketball players to transfer among the Marion County schools by simply using the address of a parent one year, a grandparent one year, then maybe an uncle another year. So some were playing at different schools without either actually physically moving, or just living with the relative for the purpose of transferring.

Yes, it was only based on those three years' male enrollment
