6A I am going with the Franklin Central Flashes...just kidding haha. I will go with Carmel. 

5A Cathedral for sure.

4A Chatard

Carmel returns the QB but they lose a lot of starters?  I'm sure they have dudes ready to fill in but still?

lets hope coach West is an expert in turd shining because he's gonna need it

I'd wonder how success they'd be "recruiting" at CYOs?  If you're at a CYO and going to a private school, you are likely considering Chatard, Guerin, Roncalli, and even though they aren't technically archdiocese schools, Brebeuf and Cathedral.

I personally have walked through CC front doors many times, and have known several people there in the past and currently including students.  They are not actively recruiting for football.....as been said they are in great location to pick up kids that can change the 1A landscape.  Can they do it every year?  I don't think so...heck Brownsburg recruits harder than CC.

Is there anything in place that can prevent them from doing so?

Whenever the CC staff is at CYO events, are they not "recruiting by position,"  looking for future linemen, receivers and quarterback candidates?  Of course they are.

I don't think they are recruiting...you spelled it out in your post...they are in a perfect location to attract impact kids.  The head coaching turnover the last few years have impacted that if they wanted to go out and recruit

The phrase rental player.  Though true, it sounds so wrong.

the example from the HCC school I think that rental applies.  It's not easy at CC...academics are very tough, you have to provide transportation and food, so I'm not knocking them it is what it is on athletics.

LOL.

what amused you?

Do you really believe a school like CC is going out and recruiting by position? That wasn't meant to be a snarky question, I genuinely wonder if that is really the case?

No they don't recruit...they don't need to as kids will show up for various reasons

very difficult to get noticed in southern Indiana football

Avon game FC was horrible....coaching,talent...everything...they were down 28 and trash talking like crazy while wearing the ugliest uniforms.  Maybe the HCC can package a trade and send FC and Noblesville to another conference.

I think Warren Central will be the 6A champion next year. The Warriors return much of their team from their 4-6 season.

CG loses all its LB's and Db's....if Warren has a team with speed at the skill positions you may be correct....I will take team speed over inexperienced 2nd and 3rd level new players.

On one hand, I know that the virus knows no boundaries but I will say that Marion County was hit harder by COVID due to the fact that many of their families were struggling financially to begin with, compared to their Hendricks County counterparts.  That being said, I don't know if I buy that as a legitimate excuse.

It seemed to me that Brownsburg and BD went in different directions this season.  The 'Dogs peaked early and the Giants improved week by week.  I do not really buy into the transitive property too much and while I think it would have been much closer, I still think Brownsburg beats BD if they played again.  The Giants caught Carmel at the perfect time whereas Brownsburg did not.

2021 will be interesting.

Covid is not an excuse...we all had to deal with it...last year's BD/Avon game was worse than this past season....BD coach may be very good, but I think its obvious his weakness is off season preparation and early season.  Again, did Kirschner have this issue?

Is it really though? Ben Davis was already an extremely young team to begin with, couple that with their COVID issues and lack of preparation against not only good but senior laden opponents, it’s not that shocking. They were playing just fine by seasons end once they got their feet under them.

considering previous coaches success I guess if the BD administrators are good with mediocrity.  Also, they had several senior starters and tell me more about the COVID issues.....were they more of a problem than say the two big Hendricks HCC schools?

Ben Davis is 18-18 after 3 years under Head Coach Jason Simmons.

this should be cause for concern....yes they do improve as the season, but the last two years they have started miserably

not a fan of zionsville but internet guy trying to change history......yawn

Every student-athlete on Roncalli’s offensive line attended a South deanery grade school. This has been the case for at least the last five years if memory serves...

Maybe those Catholic grade school lunch ladies are slipping something in the Fish Sandwich lunches during Lent? It’s possible.

sorry but those of use that live in the real world "South deanery grade school school" says you have an  offensive line that will dominate public schools...those of us that live in an ever changing west side public school system it requires much more work.

the difference is the offensive lines...if you have a big kid and have 10-15k scratch to send your kid to those schools they have many 5' 8" scrappy white kids that will happily run behind them....public schools we look around hoping more big boys show up.....any yes the 6A schools have big boys  but the coaching of technique is not the same

“The echo”, get the hell outta here Scheib.

Hasn’t been an issue in the previous five games.

its hard to watch...he is that bad....if you can't complete a sentence its to find a new guy

for those watching Lance Scheib is horrible as an announcer

Pass interference

right....grabbing a helmet and twisting is usally a PI

I wouldn't say stocked but a few key playmakers have transferred in the last few years.

It's the Oriole Bulldog Cougar Giant Big Red Irish Hornet other Bulldogs, officially

Don't forget the 10K to make it happen

just a few years ago one of the Hendricks County HCC schools expelled a kid for his sophomore year/season....enrolled at CC for that year and went back to that HCC school and most games was the best player/athlete on the field for two years....no clue the make up of this years CC roster, but obviously if a family can scratch a check for 10K they can rent a player...not so easy for the non privates.

And Zionsville obviously HAS gotten better, hence why they are playing this weekend.

 

it appears they have....notching W's against big name's Dwenger and Valpo certainly something for the program to be proud of.

Ah, I forgot that teams don’t get better over the course of a month.  My mistake.  Thanks for setting me straight.  Man, you really know football...

some do some don't....doesn't matter in this game but you keep angrily defending your lame post.

The biggest surprise of all is that we are talking about Westfield and Zionsville being the two top programs in the HCC.  Thats exactly where they are now and where they will be slotted heading into next season.  

Substitute Brownsburg for Zionsville.
