The other thing to consider is a 7th class for the Mega Schools.

Yep, I agree.

not sure how many times I have to say it....LaPorte is not the HCC....sure we all get that throw back warm and fuzzies for those old time offenses but the spread offense is how it rolls and right now Hamilton County parents of middle school kids are filling out  transfer paperwork for Zionsville, HSE, Fishers, GC, Carmel and Westfield....any idea how many passing academies have popped up in that area right now?  The aren't working on hand offs...Noblesville had 52 attempts in 10 games.....52!!!!

Offenses come and offenses go, hang around long enough and there will be something new. Ooooh Spread Offense let's all hide!

Congratulations all around.

Any idea how those teams are picked?

Nomination and votes.

This has been an interesting string to give everyone some insight into Carmel history.

Why can't we all get along ?

More examples of possibilities. Each has advantages/disadvantages - I think what EVERYONE in 3A will agree though is that Sectional 30 needed changed

I took a shot at 3A with HoopsCoach's classifications:

25 - Calumet, Hanover Central, Hammond Clark, Griffith, Knox, Benton Central, Twin Lakes, West Lafayette

26 - Mishawaka Marian, SB Washington, John Glenn, Jimtown, Fairfield, Tippecanoe Valley, Peru, Maconaquah

27 - (only put 7 in this one) West Noble, Garrett, Lakeland, Woodlan, FW Concordia, Heritage, Bellmont

28 - Western Boone, North Montgomery, Crawfordsville, Guerin Catholic, Hamilton Heights, Speedway, South Vermillion, Tri-West

29 - Danville, Monrovia, Indy Washington, Washington, Owen Valley, Indian Creek, Brown County, Edgewood

30 - Mississinewa, Alexandria, Northwestern, Yorktown, Rushville, Batesville, Greensburg, Franklin County

31 - Salem, North Harrison, Corydon Central, Madison, South Dearborn, Scottsburg, Charlestown, Lawrenceburg

32 - Mt Vernon, Evansville Bosse, Gibson Southern, Pike Central, Southridge, Heritage Hills, Vincennes Lincoln, Princeton

 

I like this alignment.  Sectional 25 had a hole in it and West Lafayette makes more geographic sense than anyone else to fill it I think with Benton Central and Twin Lakes already in it as well.  I put Mississinewa in Sectional 30 rather than 27 partially because they fit in geographically with schools like Alexandria and Northwestern and I think that program could beef up that sectional a little.  Sectional 28 looks a little different with Chatard moving up.  I put Western Boone in their spot and while I moved West Lafayette to 25, I shifted Tri-West from 29 to 28 so it still looks plenty tough to me.

As for balance, I count 11 teams in the "new" 3A that finished in the top 100 in Sagarin in 2020.  All 8 sectionals has at least one and only one (Sectional 28) has 3.  I'd love to move one of those 3 to a different sectional but can't figure out a way to do it that makes sense.  I think the teams in 31 and 32 pretty much have to be where they are based on geography but that's just from me looking at a map.  That's the part of the state I'm least familiar with.  

Any thoughts?  Complaints?

Thought about starting a separate thread for Southern 3A sectional alignment possibilities ...but this could/would serve the same purpose. 

Don't hate what you have down here - but I think it could be improved. (I don't believe you can but Missinneswea and Alexandia in the SOUTHERN sectionals....also, believe you left off some teams)Here is what I've come up with and reasoning with it.

Sectional 29 (we'll call this the "Indy Sectional") - Danville, WeBo, Tri-West, Ritter, Indian Creek, Indy Washington, Manual, and Guerin Catholic

Sectional 30 (HAD to be fixed. We'll call this the "come on up Highway 41 Sectional) - West Vigo, Washington, Princeton, Gibson Southern, Vincennes Lincoln, Edgewood, Greencastle, and Brown County 

Sectional 31 (We'll call this Eastern Indiana) - Franklin County, Lawrenceburg, North Harrison, Batesville, Charleston, Scottsburg, Owen Valley, and Rushville. *Not sure about the competitive balance here..but I think it's better than the ol Sectional 30...

Sectional 32 (What's left in Southern Indiana) - Corydon, Salem, Pike Central, Southridge, Heritage Hills, Bosse, Mt. Vernon 

Section 25 Hammond Clark is closed due to consolidation.

It's not worth the potential arrest for public exposure. 

If you knew how much this individual pissed everyone off you might reconsider !

Do you know how many times I have said I would piss on some ones grave, but changed my mind when I realized how long the line would be ?

That could be a two for the price of one.

Weight Room wonders.... 5'9" 160 pounds.. Little Giants. (wrestlers?) . 

I understand they use the old time tried and true Arriflex 16mm Cine Cameras... Model 16S state of the art in the 50's and 60's !

Some better than others !

Who was the halftime show?

Marching bands, 10,000 balloons, and pigeons. 

Hobart had colors other than Purple and Gold back in the '20s. One of the old timers told me it was like Navy and Cream ?
