Idk if you sound good behind a microphone but you can’t sound worse than a Southridge and Mt Carmel fan trying to describe the team to everyone else on the radio

I’ve just been super busy this year. Trying to hike 500+ miles before the year ends. Still read through the stuff from time to time

With the way HH runs an offense who knows lol. The best athlete on the team is usually the QB so maybe I just assumed he was QB when recalling him playing

I would bet Mt. Carmel does without looking

I could easily say Brady Allen or any of the other Gibson Southern QBs….but when it comes to QBs that were just “That dude” and unforgettable… Kenton Crews, Heritage Hills (2012-2016?) His stats probably were not anything crazy but that dude put the fear of god in me. GS runs up tempo offenses…I was praying for GS to milk the clock so he wouldn’t get the ball in his hands. it’s a decade later and I still think about that dude every time GS plays HH

I just can’t imagine a system than involves the coaches changing the format to seeding that doesn’t say to hell with coddling bad teams. They are already voting so that they can get home field advantage if their team earns it. the idea of worrying about drive times is only a concern amongst fans from my experience. We talk until we are blue every year about 3 hour drives when every other state has games of like 6+ hours with no care at all for a team who had to have a winning record to get a playoff game….why would the ihsaa care about a 1-8 team going 2.5 hours to a top seeded team that is going to sell 5x as many tickets

I think that assumes seeding sectionals…but from the things I’ve read over the last few years (only a handful) coaches seem to be pushing more for a fully seeded tournament/or at least semi state. coaches want home field advantage. Maybe I’m off base here but I think if we see seeding we are looking at doing away with sectional draws completely. North or south and how you did will be all that matters.

I agree with this. however…let’s hope that by the next roll around that we have seeding lol. All these teams are bound to face each other in the playoffs and there is no getting around that. Would just be better if it was later on for the big games. Like GS vs HH last year as a semi state game. Insert any 2 of these teams on their good years and we all want them to be for a championship game.

32 is just casually Memorial, Mater Dei, Gibson Southern, Southridge, Heritage Hills, Vincennes Lincoln. apologies to Mt Vernon….and Princeton never had a chance anyways. There’s a possibility of 4 or 5 ranked schools in 32…maybe even multiple in the top 5 of 3A lol

I think Brebeuf is staying in 4A? in 2021 they were 3A with like 830 kids and were moving up regardless I believe? Unless they had a bigger class at the time and are back under 800 or whatever the new 4A/3A line will be

West vigo would not go to 28. They would go to 29 and 29 would move someone north…assuming logical choices by the ihsaa and minimal enrollment changes which includes west vigo. I would guess that speedway/tri west would move to 28 to fill that void…and it’s probably speedway because Danville/triwest/ Webo/crawfordsville are already kinda a thing. Imo…the biggest issue with 3A and it’s bracket is the region…specifically Lafayette. There are a lot of big schools in the region and tons of tiny 2A/1A schools….some years WL is paired with Indy teams…some years they have to play Hanover/Calumet. It’s kind of a no man’s land for 3A.

Well…if there is any team who can and will do that…it’s Heritage Hills haha that is exactly what their best teams do and it’s probably how most of their opponents would describe them.

I’m realizing after checking back that I was mistaken. I had classes with another notable player from those Ritter teams that makes everything I’ve said irrelevant…except for that Purichia and those Ritter teams were pretty dang good.

Is Purichia related to the fella that played for Cardinal Ritter in like 2010-2012? I went to Wabash with him and had a few classes. Was a helluva player and I think had some state records for a bit.

It’s about time IB gets used correctly on here

This reminds me of my first introduction to Chatard with my graduating class in 2012 lol. Believe that meeting finished 56-6…every time Chatard touched the ball it was perfect execution and big gains.

??? This is cute what made you feel like you had to restate the very obvious of what “and in 2008” meant? Now you want to be on the offense and say “I only meant that!!!!” that comment got to ya didn’t it lol… ahahahahahahh 😂😂😂

I’ll get this started. What I want: Heritage Hills 28 Chatard 24 What I think is more likely: Chatard 35 Heritage Hills 21 this is clearly one of the more special Chatard teams because it takes A LOT to go undefeated with their schedule….And Heritage Hills is pretty young. If Jett can take over and establish himself as the best player on the field…I think there is a chance.

Nick Martin played for the Texans for a while. No idea if he is still playing…he probably is cuz Zach is still playing for the cowboys

It’s a joke lol…and if you understood what he was saying you wouldn’t question it 😂 what do you think happened in 2008 to make a random memorial fan care about what years the Martin brothers played for Chatard?🤣😂🤣😂

Typical memorial fan. No matter what two teams are playing, a memorial fan will always find a way to include themselves and point at some thing they did. Memorial fans would get more pats on the back if their hands weren’t in the way so much 😂

Pretty sure there are some members on this forum that played on that 2004 HH team 2007…was that the Martin Chatard years?

It’s crazy to realize there are still 2 more years of Jett. Great programs are always in contention, but there are still windows of opportunity that are just a little bit better. GS had a window from 2013-2015 with a super young class led by a sophomore QB. Kinda feels like Heritage Hills has a similar window of 2023-2025 where they can have some really special teams

Won’t win believing that lol

Tough loss….but I know Heritage Hills has been on the other side of this the last 4 years. It really sucks but this is rivalry. Give Chatard your best
