I forgot about the younger brother. Did he also go to ND? NFL? Zach Martin is still the biggest HS player I've ever seen in person. Just huge!

LOL, whatever dude...

And in 2008.

That is a good way of putting it. Two very good, equally matched teams. It was a heck of a game to watch. Kids played their hearts out.

I think EC has a legitimate claim to #1.

Agree 100%. It is far from simple. I think it would hurst attendance too.

Heritage Hills will play Chatard for 3A title.

23-0 Heritage Hills

Heritage Hills 7 - Gibson Southern 0. GS has 2 TOS and HH has ball on GS 23 with 8:00 left in 2Q.

Yep, EC is pretty darn good.

Watching GS & HH on the stream.

Finally decided to take the bucket off his head?

I'm not a politician with a $100,000 boat like Titan32....

And it hurts when a good athlete can't see the value of discipline and accountability and walks out the p/p door. The door swings both ways.

or home school, or online school, or charter school. Lots of options out there in this day and age.

Interesting. Our managers launder our stuff. They're too valuable to allow a mom to wash a new red sweatshirt with a road white jersey and inadvertently create a pink jersey...

Because those standards for performance and behavior are generally what are required for success in any post-secondary endeavor, whether it be the workforce, military, or further academic pursuits. In most cases having such a standard that is known by parents and students going in can be a component of the tide that helps raise all boats, but it isn't always the case. We sometimes have parents / students who choose to leave our school when faced with enforcement of the standards elect to take safe harbor where lower standards are accepted.

Good luck to EC. Finish it strong.

That was the insinuation. There is not 1 p/p school in Indiana that keeps numbers at a given level to stay in a particular class for athletics...

Serious Q. Do moms do the laundry at GS or HH?

We will play wherever the IHSAA puts us (obviously), but as a fan, our 4A Sectional 24 is boring because all but 2 teams are regular season opponents. It was fun to see a team the caliber of EC the past few years, and we very very lucky to have snuck one past them, but I suspect most years it would end the way it did this year. Being in 3A and rekindling post-season rivalries with GS and HH will be so much more fun.

That excerpt came from the 2023-2024 By-laws. I am embarrassed to say I was not aware of the change.

And I would not dispute that our percentages are lower than at a public school, but I bet they are higher than what you think they are. I can't speak for every p/p, but our student population has gotten much more diverse over the past 10 years, which to me is a good thing for many reasons.

I swear to God I thought it was state law that less than 2 points drops back, 2 - 5 points stays put, and 6 or more gets bumped.

OK, did the IHSAA change the Success Factor rules so that a team who had been bumped and only accrued 2 points or less now goes down to the next lower class? If so, that would mean Ev. Memorial comes back down to 3A for 2024.
