I'll duck on the way out but the 1600 student difference listed above is only part of the story.
Fishers is amongst the most affluent cities in Indiana/the midwest. Comparing that to a school like Northrop is unfair as they not only have an enrollment disadvantage but also a socioeconomic disadvantage.
You stated earlier that this was one of the most successful seasons in Northrop football history, yet they were still bounced early in dominating fashion.
If I have said it once, I have said it a million times. If you have a significant enrollment disadvantage, you'd better have a significant socioeconomic advantage. Not having either is a death knell which is what we see at the bottom of 6A (and every other class for the most part). Its purgatory.
