The clock is ticking. Question is, is it a sundial or a doomsday clock? HCC’s overall Sagarin was 5 points better than the MIC this season.
But, even if both Westfield and Zionsville had won this past weekend I’d still say MIC is #1 by a whisker. The keys for both conferences in the next few years will be 1.) do the teams on top reload or are they going to have a huge drop off. 2.) Do the teams in the lower half of both leagues improve.
in my opinion it’s more likely CG, Ben Davis and Carmel reload and complete for another championship. WC was young and will be a factor. Brownsburg the same. Westfield lost some outstanding talent but had great JV and freshman teams. And HSE will be a threat.
It certainly looks like the bottom half of the HCC is stronger and the league is more balanced than the MIC.
The real question is, which happens first…. an HCC state championship, or a new 16-team super conference?
