temptation

Awesome stuff DT. Would have loved to hear Moser’s philosophy surrounding multi sport athletes, specifically track since South Adams had a great school year in both.

Absolute legend. Proud to call this man a mentor.

Has SAGARIN really ever been seriously considered as a potential data point by anyone in the association or is that just message board hearsay?

Continue please...

Come on. Don’t be conspiracy theory guy. Its embarrassing.

Most intriguing class?

Felt like I was watching a video game.

I still maintain they could’ve scored 100 that night.

Many programs talk the talk in that regard but fail to walk the walk. The argument could be made that Center Grove does it better than anyone.

Eh, I thought that last year but Roncalli absolutely DEMOLISHED good Mt. Vernon/Mooresville teams...and rumor has it they’ll be better this year. I think part of Kirschner’s decision to leave Mt. Vernon was related to that loss. When your best team in school history provides little resistance to the juggernaut that is Roncalli, you second guess things. Pure speculation on my part.

State title game is the Roncalli/Chatard sectional winner. Whomever comes out of the north will be roadkill. Would love to be wrong.

Oh, I agree and though it may be hard for some to believe, I actually welcome potential parity. Its just an annual “Keep an eye on team X as they could crash the party” type of deal that has not come to fruition in over two decades.

“This time every year” we hear about the potential accolades of a non central Indy 6A school who could make some noise. Its nothing personal to Carroll.

Need to SEE Carroll (or any other 6A team from outside of the Indy metro area for that matter) make noise when given the opportunity in November.

Like the HCC but on a deeper level, folks are gonna need to see it to believe it. This time every year we hear it.

Your logic that I think they are “horrible” and need to “go away” is based upon what exactly? I am just stating that the current demographic and socioeconomic trends in Marion County have affected them the least thus far. North Central and Franklin Central’s best football playing days are still ahead of them and their recent moves have reflected theor commitment to the sport. I believe the rest of the county public school’s best days are behind them as urban sprawl continues. I actually AM a part of a public school district in Marion County and am walking the front lines daily. I see amazing educators busting their asses to get kids across the finish line but it takes a full commitment. Let’s also not ignore the fact that “the bar” is much lower. Its a societal problem that is difficult to fix. It starts at home (and I’m not giving educators a pass by any means). Tons of delusional folks look at education (many of the same who look at law enforcement) and think they could step right in and do it better.

Be “in?” Hell, I’d rank them 2nd. A better question: Could the Irish compete with a combination of the remaining teams in the 5A poll were they to form an all-star team?

You do know the 2020 IHSAA basketball season was incomplete, no? I’m not going down this rabbit hole with you. You are the “king” of derailing threads. Summary: The MIC is still king but the gap has closed significantly...plenty of facts to back that up.

Gonna need to link this one for reference. You're digging deep dude. Didn't know I owned so much space in your head.

I don’t lose...ask @BTF.

Westfield played Center Grove tougher than any MIC school did last year. Zionsville played Cathedral tougher than Carmel did. Soon these moral victories will turn into actual on the field victories, it’s just a matter of time. In fact, I will go on the record as stating Westfield wins a football state championship before Warren or Ben Davis wins their next one. Mark the tape.

So does the MIC.

Way to gloss over every fact I mentioned and resort to a “my dad could beat your dad up” level joke. “Cathedral simply outworks every other team in the state.” Now go away.

Nice to see you’ve come back for more lessons/punishment. I disagree that the HCC is on any sort of down cycle with perhaps the exception of Brownsburg. Westfield - the Center Grove of the north suburbs in the coming years and favorite in 6A north Zionsville - Stud OL kid heading to South Bend, a legitimate contender to represent the north in 5A Avon - a young nucleus, well coached team that will improve with experience Hamilton Southeastern/Fishers - broke in brand new coaches during a pandemic and will only continue to improve with a full year under their belts Brownsburg - 2021 will be a true test of Hart’s coaching ability with the exodus of talent that they suffered, still loaded with unproven guys though Franklin Central/Noblesville - both have finally gone all in and pushed their chips to the middle of the table with their commitment to football, will continue to take their lumps in the short term though Look, you’ve made it blatantly obvious that you are blind to the changing socioeconomics and demographics that make up central Indiana but you cannot deny the fact that the gap continues to close. A decade ago the HCC wasn’t even close and now they are winning their fair share of regular season matchups. While I will continue to agree that no one will take them seriously until they knock MIC teams from the tournament in October and November, the facts are right in front of your face dude. It’s the same old story in the MIC every year. Carmel and Center Grove continue to reload and distance themselves from the rest of the conference. Warren/Ben Davis boast athletes galore and continue to stay afloat based on their large enrollment advantage. Lawrence North and North Central head up the middle of the conference but no one will take them seriously until they put a dent in the top four. (Hell, Lawrence North possibly had the two best skill position players in the conference last year and couldn’t even win the sectional.) Lawrence Central and Pike are after thoughts and have absolutely zero to offer in terms of exciting their fanbases. Yet another swing and a miss from you.

Cathedral vs the field...eh gimme Cathedral. Yawn.
