Just so ya know I heard WW won't have a JV game this week due to Pekin maybe not having enough. I can say our JR high beat em pretty soundly Thursday. So their is my JV participation. Haha

Appreciate it. Looks like we might be playing someone else week 3 in JV.

When the server crashed it told me my username was invalid and when I tried to make a new one it told me my username was in use so I gave up for a while. Saw the Facebook group and decided to see if this place was still around.

I still can't "like" more than one post in a day, which is absurdly stupid. 

But this is me "liking" your post lol 

Basketball starts entirely too soon. Give us a bye week.

Just saw where Springs Valley and Salem both need a Week 5 game now. Seems like an easy fix for both teams. Looks like Dugger dropped out for Valley. Not sure who Salem's opponent was.

Look like it was Clarksville in 2020. 

Also.. don't forget to post your JV scores

Why are there two different threads for these conferences?

Looking at the brackets 

6A: Pretty much as I expected. Two schools had to go north, and HSE/Fishers being paired with the two Fort Wayne schools made a lot of sense because of their proximity to I-69. 

5A: Again, a pretty easy map. The big question was which pairs would go with which in the south. IHSAA opted to put THS/THN with Whiteland/Franklin and BHSN/BHSS with East/Seymour. I'd have flipped the Johnson County & Bloomington schools and created an I-65 sectional and a SR 46 one, but the IHSAA was clearly looking at latitude instead of longitude. 

4A: The big question was, who was going to go into Sectional 23, which was going to be a spread-out mess no matter who got sent there. The big question was which schools would go into 23 and which into 22 among EC, Connersville, Shelbyville, Beech Grove and Greenwood. Again, the IHSAA went with latitude - East Central to Edgewood to Silver Creek to Greenwood is going to be a doozy but there was really no way around it. A bit of a surprise to see Logansport go north and Huntington North go south. Sectional 20 is largely centered around SR 26 but Frankfort to Jay County or Frankfort to Huntington will be a bit of a haul. Frankfort was likely going to go into that field because there was no place else where it would fit. 

3A: A few surprises that make a lot of geographic sense - West Lafayette in Sectional 25, Chatard in Sectional 28 (which was clearly created as a US 31 sectional) and thus in the north.  It's a good map as you see the fourth northern sectionals are all centered around major highways (25 - I-65, 26-Toll Road, 27-I-69, 28-US 31), but somewhat surprised Delta/Yorktown go up to Fort Wayne instead of Oak Hill/Tippecanoe Valley. 

In the south, West Vigo & Owen Valley being sent to Evansville while Southridge/Heritage Hills get sent to southeastern Indiana is a bit interesting. What I might have done is leave Southridge/HH in southwestern Indiana, put WV/OV in with Monrovia and Crawfordsville and move Purdue Poly/Speedway into Sectional 31 (likely bumping SD/Lawrenceburg to 32). But you can see the mapmakers really considered travel and major highway corridors - Lawrenceburg/SD with schools along I-74, WV/OV moved south because they are on US 41/SR 67, Southridge/HH are close to I-64 and thus it's fairly easy to access the Louisville area. 

2A: Really makes a lot of sense when you look at the map. The sectionals are about as compact as they can be and the dividing lines are sensible. 

1A: As compact and sensible as 2A is, 1A is one of the weirdest maps the IHSAA has ever put out. Park Tudor and Gary Bowman could play in the same regional? Sectionals 41 & 42 aren't geographically contiguous. The sectional fields themselves largely make sense, although I would've flipped Sheridan and Park Tudor to make those two sectional fields more geographically contiguous. The change I would've made is the regional round - Sectionals 41 & 43 should be together, 44 and 45 should be paired together, as well as 42 with 46. 

Here are the maps, with each sectional color-coded (the northwest regional in reds, the northeast regional in oranges, the central regional in blue/green and the south regional in black/gray): https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1O6J1oaoKWSgPWgPhsL7-eng1-_vqyqEr&usp=sharing

2A South is incredibly poorly done.

2A South Needs to be redone! It has been stated on the GID in a previous topic that 2A south should be a done deal. That post did not take into account how bad the IHSAA is at Geography. 

Here is how the 2A South should be aligned: 

37- Cascade, Christel House, Greencastle, Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter, Indianapolis Scecina Memorial, North Putnam, South Vermillion & Southmont

 

38- Eastern Hancock, Heritage Christian, Lapel, Northeastern, Shenandoah, Triton Central, Union County & Winchester

 

39- Brown County, Brownstown Central, Clarksville, Crawford County, Eastern {Pekin}, Mitchell, Paoli & Switzerland County

 

40- Evansville Mater Dei, Forest Park, Linton-Stockton, North Knox, North Posey, Perry Central, Sullivan & Tell City

Yeah this wasn't difficult at all. And they completely botched it lol

How many 2A schools have 40-60 kids on roster?  Cmon now.

Delta feels heavy in 3A.  They could be dangerous

Basically all the good ones, I'd assume. 

We've never been below 40. Most years 50-55. 

DH should be universal. Cmon now. 

Love the stadium. 

1. What took so long?

2. Why is it not a dome? lol 

Bills are my 2nd favorite AFC team.

Add Hamilton Heights to the list, although it doesn't appear it will be ready by the start of season next fall.

Appreciate it. 2023?

You can add Batesville

rumor has it Milan also

Really? Thats fantastic about Milan. 

I knew BV was getting it. We actually played against them in the last game they will have had grass!

5A South is really 8 groups of 2 teams. Just gotta figure out what groups match up with whom.

Harrison (WL) and McCutcheon

Terre Haute North and Terre Haute South

Plainfield and Decatur Central

Franklin and Whiteland

Bloomington North and Bloomington South

Columbus East and Seymour

Floyd Central and New Albany

Evansville North and Castle

Top 4 seem pretty cut and dry, next 4 seem cut and dry, as well. The Southern most 8 are the issue, yeah? 

Aren't Plainfield (congrats T Bless), Franklin, DC, and Whiteland in the same conference?

But even those 4... anyway you cut it--- FC/NA/Sey/CE + BN/BS/Castle/EN-- this would be the most traditional route, then obviously BN/BS/CE/Sey + FC/NA/EN/Castle would be the other option-- are all pretty simple options and drives. 

I assume they will keep the HHC teams together. SEY, CE, NA, and FC.

I don't understand what you mean with "classes more balanced?" The football setup is pretty well set in stone. I don't know how you can "balance" the classes any more than they already are. 

Also, it appears Monrovia & Cascade will both be 3A in hoops (as well as Heritage Christian). Will make some big changes in Central Indiana.

After having traveled three and fours hours to sectional games multiple times years ago, I realized the IHSAA is not a place for logic or bold, new ideas. With the sectional drive times they have been imposing for the last two decades as well as having two of the top teams in a class playing each other in an opening round due to the IHSAA balls system, they could easily take a whole semistate and seed it with top seed hosts. Are there challenges, yes. Are these challenges greater or less  than the awkward current 

Where did you drive that was 3 or 4 hours?

It was a link to their schedule on the school's website.

 

This one: 

 

 

I tried 50 different ways to get that link to work and I couldn't figure it out. I have no idea why their school website says that. Very weird. 

They have played at the Reitz Bowl for a long, long time. 

Incredible venue if you have never been. I believe it seats over 10K.

I didn’t say that. Unsure how you could even come to that conclusion. Oldtimeqb actually cleared any confusion up in his comment. Sometime yesterday. Mater Dei has a field, but doesn’t play there. Got it.

Your link didn't work. I have no idea what that link would have shown. 

I told you Reitz didn't have their own field and then you posted "not according to this".. which I still have no clue what that link was... and then Oldtimeqb posted exactly what I said, and he cleared it up? You said not according to their schedule.. what schedule? 

I knew Mater Dei didn't use their turf practice field for games. We have played Mater Dei twice in the Reitz Bowl.

Not according to their schedule. 

No clue what that link was. 

Just to be clear.. you're saying that Memorial and Mater Dei don't play their home games at the Reitz Bowl and Enlow? 

5 hours ago, oldtimeqb said:

Memorial plays home varsity games at Enlow Field (on the campus of Bosse HS) and Mater Dei plays home varsity games at Reitz Bowl.

Both teams play sub-varsity (7, 8, Freshman, JV) games on the turf practice fields on their respective campuses.

I know this. Memorial handled us in 2017? I think that was the year.

That is correct Coach. Both use the turf fields for all sorts of athletic and non-athletic purposes. Great investments for each school.

Agreed. Incredibly well ran programs.

Weird question?  You are the dude commenting yet saying you don't care.  Which is it?

They don't get old? Ever? 

Eeeesh. Not for me. ✌

They have a field right beside the school. Don't they use it?

They play their home games at Reitz. I believe they and Ev Mem both have turf practice fields.

Michigan City has had turf since 2009 at a price tag of $720,000 and had it replaced over the summer however Michigan City High School and Ames Field are located in two completely separate parts of the city about 4 miles apart because it used to serve both Elston and Rogers before the two slchools consolidated and Ames Field was demolished and reconstructed at the cost if $6,000,000 in 1995.  The is even an elevator that goes up to the press box.

Next season we are going to have a brand new score board with a video screen and new LED lighting.

 

Sorry. I can't add a "like" to this. No clue why.

Awesome.  Then why comment?  

Lol why does anyone comment? Weird question. Again.. just a topic about turf. 

I'm not talking about what tax my dollars buy me and try to pretend like the spending done by schools, on their own students, is any sort of societal problem. It's laughable. 

These conversations have to get old for some of you, don't they?
