Agreed! A lot of people don't realize that any development east of Summer Road and South of 216th Street goes to HSE and not Noblesville. HSE's district goes all the way out to the edge of Lapel and up to the border with Hamilton Heights (216th Street).

I know that Whitestown is booming and a decent portion of it goes to Lebanon while the other portion goes to Zionsville. Is Lebanon the town growing as well? I agree that they should be looking to the future and reaching out to Harrison/McCutcheon to explore opportunities. 

Yes both commercially and residentially.

Always remember that school districts and town/city boundaries aren't always the same.  A lot of Noblesville's growth is in the city limits and the HSE school district.  School boundaries are usually set by township boundaries.  Not saying this is the case here, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Regarding Frankfort, the Dogs would fit better in the Hoosier Heartland than the Hoosier.  They'd be the doormat of the Hoosier in almost every sport.

Very True.

Agreed.  They could maybe compete in baseball and boy's soccer but not much else.

 

Is this mostly due to lack of demand,  tightfisted farmers not wanting to sell their land, or draconian zoning laws?

 

I would say lack of inventory and the cost of buying land (I honestly don't know about the zoning laws).  The Eli Lilly project and the State have driven up the price of farmland... The price they were buying the land for the Lilly project was life changing (for those with large acrerage)... Still a lot of farmers in Western Boone Co that also want to keep that land and continue to farm it.

Lebanon is the next Zionsville/Westfield/Whiteland/etc

Lots of development in that area in terms of business....and also right off 65.  WeBo and Lebanon should be looking 10 years into the future instead of 10 years into the past.  

Webo isn't growing.  Though I have heard there is 1 small housing development going in Thorntown (though I don't know if it is approved yet), while Lebanon is growing rather quickly.  The Lilly facility they just broke ground on is land that Lebanon annexed into the town.  Maybe at some point the sprawl heads out toward Webo, I think we are a long way away from that.  I suspect that Webo will be a 2A team in Football (as well as every other sport) in the next enrolment cycle and will probably sit in the 2A class for a while (success factor not withstanding).  There just isn't an abundance of housing in the Webo district.

Not surprised.  As Lebanon, Danville, and Tri-West become more and more part of the Indianapolis area/donut county urban sprawl they become less and less rural, and their enrollments will soon grow to dwarf those of the other Sagamore conference schools. 

If this comes to pass where does that leave Frankfort and Western Boone?  IMHO it opens the logical door for the Hot Dogs to petition for membership into the Hoosier Heartland conference.  As for Western Boone I really don't care what happens to them.................

 

 

 

Appreciate the support, Muda!

Harrison has played Tri-West on its undercard before, so it's not necessarily that far out there.  At the same time, Harrison has also recently had other undercards like Chatard, Cathedral, Roncalli, and Brebeuf too, so there's an interesting trend there ... especially considering LCC was added as the scrimmage opponent last season.

Webo played Harrison 2014-2018

Who's the Sheridan person trolling the WRC?  I'm straight outta Judyville, West Lebanon, Veedersburg, Williamsport and A-town brother.  Like to meet someone from the sophisticated suburban town of Sheridan.  They've got that Hamilton County money, they should own the GID.

Rainsville?  Hooker Corner?  Lol

DT gonna DT… 

Webo & Tri-West Share the Conference Title.  

Going into Sectionals 4 of them play each other 1st round.  Lebanon & Frankfort both with a tough draws... Danville/TW round one is tough as it's a big rivalry game... Danville has struggled the last couple of weeks so it will be interesting to see how this one goes.  The North Montgomery and Speedway game could be the game of the week.  Webo gets Crawfordsville and South gets North Knox (have no idea other that they are 4-5 and will see a heavy dose of Woodall & Chadd.

Sagamore Conference up for Grabs!  

TW vs Southmont

38-7 Webo over Southmont

Hey Donnie! I keep getting advertisements on my phone for Brother’s pizza in Crawfordsville. Have you been there? Thinking about giving it a try.

Really good Pizza!

Haven't been to Lebanon or Southmont yet, Muda?  They both have it.  It's obnoxious AF.

I think Southmonts is going to be a factor. Maybe not a threat to win it all but I think they’ll play spoiler for a few teams. 

I certainly think South will compete much more than they have in the past few years.  

Conference Play opens up this week!

It's always sunny in Attica, isn't it Donnie?  You should get a job as their promoter.

I have a little more insight than I care to share, so let's get on with the season.  Good luck to everyone.  Hope they can all put a product on the field.

Same, @Ballhawk Same.

What's the over/under on how long until they burn their bridges and pi** everyone off at NP?  There's usually a reason why coaches job hop so much.  It sounds like with his son it truly proves the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  Hope it works out for the Cougars.

+100!

But is anybody good enough to step up and fill the void?   With the Moore Son-Father coaching duo in place, I've got to think NV is the team to watch out for in the WRC.  Brian Moore didnt leave PH after building that program up to sit in the WRC basement .  The Moore's clearly have a plan, and it will probably happen very quickly.  

You realize the Moore's are at North Putnam not North Vermillion, right?

I like this one. I think I'll keep it. What does North Montgomery look like this year? Hamilton Heights has them week 2. I hate that drive. Last time I'll have to make it.

• Both TW and Danville lost large productive senior classes, but have guys waiting to step in and produce.  WeBo will be solid but must find a QB.  Lebanon returns some pieces but loses a stud RB and some big linemen.  Seems to be the same story as every year.  Can Frankfort, Cville, South or North move into the top group.  The answer is most likely no.

*this is a copy and paste from Offical thread.  Admins Lock or delete the other one please

I think South will be decent.  I think they will compete this year.  
 

Agree with North, Cville, Frankfort.
