I don't see this for WeBo... Going to Triton Central for a Thursday Night Freshman Basketball game makes zero sense... Football wise, maybe. not for the other Sports.

Yes, the FB page still exists.. I find it somewhat comical that he copies and pastes quite a bit of stuff from here and is asking for sponsors/$. The best thing he does is the coach interviews.

We would never hear the end of it from Cody... 😂

West Lafayette is in the North as well.

Beginning of May according to IHSAA website

Yes, much like basketball there could be a chance that you play a Semi-State home game. As for 4-6A wanting to let smaller schools play at their facility... Not sure the difference is if a 1A school is playing basketball at Seymour vs a 1A football team playing there? We also don't seed the basketball tourney either. Not sure what "losses" the host school would have (unless you are talking about a torn up field)? There are a lot of questions, I agree... But I don't understand that thoughts of we do it in basketball and not football...

It's my understanding the AD's submit packages to host Sectionals, Regionals, Semi-States in Basketball.. Certainly seating as well as probably many other things are taken into account when this occurs. It could be done with Football... Semi-State hosts to have plenty of seating & a turf field. Little to no maintenance (at least not additional unless there is a snow storm). Track hosts have to have at least an 8 lane track.. Why couldn't it be mandated that Semi-State hosts have to have Turf? Good points by both @foxbat& @oldtimeqb

I believe Mater Dei is in the same boat... 5 points.. Regional Championship in 2020, Semi State Champion (State Runner up) in 2021.

I honestly don't care. We beat Luers and Mater Dei in 2020. I was just pointing out that those 3 schools in particular are not correct as far as the enrolment numbers that were released last week. No idea what other schools are or are not. I think ours is close and we are probably border line 2A or 3A.

The enrolment numbers released are not correct... Andrean & Luers won't be 3A... Mater Dei will not be based on enrolment either.

The numbers the IHSAA sent out were not correct. 535 would be 3A. That number likely isnt correct

🙄

The link is gone again.. They must be correcting it again... I've seen Monkey $#!t fights as the zoo more organized than this... As my friend @Donnie Bakersays, I swear to God I have.

Mater Dei will be in 3A because of enrolment.

I get it... but "Point totals from 2020-21 and the current school year (2021-22) will be used to determine Tournament Success Factor movement." With that, all 3 move back to enrolment based class. The sectionals will be completely different... At least sectional 37... Speedway moves up to 3A because of enrolment Seeger appears to be on the border of 2A/1A, Webo appears to be on the border of 3A/2A. All the sectionals will be completely different... Look at 3A now, you have Andrean, Evansville Mater Dei, and Bishop Luers all moving up because of enrolment... That will have an affect on the sectionals in both 2A & 3A.

He committed to Iowa over the weekend.

Webo/Chatard/LCC will either be playing in a class up again for the next 2 years (making 3 years in the SF) or they only do 1 year and reset everything (wipe the slate)… I highly doubt (with almost a 99% certainty) that the IHSAA is not going to go through this exercise again (enrollment, sectional alignments, etc.) next year to ensure 3 schools stay up for their mandatory 2 year cycle. Wherever the IHSAA puts us (Webo), we’ll show up and play.

Disagree completely... Had zero to do with Race... it had everything to do with competition and $.

I don't need to compare Popeye... You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

I get you trying to prop up your kid. But I think you are trying to compare Apples to Oranges. Brady Allen was the best QB in the State. In my opinion, Caden Curry was the best football player. I also know that it is extremely difficult for a Lineman (OL or DL) to win this award because many look directly at Stats.

From an outsider that all makes sense... Unless I am an AD/Coach at an HCC School in which it will become much more difficult to win a conference championship in football, country club sports, and even basketball. Fans and parents can discuss how the HCC is the strongest conference in Indiana or even the MW, but there is literally no value in that. Neither are bringing TV money... Other than an arguable comment about being the best conference, what is the actual value to HCC member schools? Again, it makes complete sense for both CG & Carmel to want to join...

I don't know that this is 100% accurate. CG (and Carmel) needs to do what's best for them first and foremost. The frustration of having small gates for the "money maker sports" because the MIC fans do not travel well isn't a secret to anyone on this board. And though the MIC and the 6 Township schools can send out their statement about being "athletics should not drive a decision" is actually about the $. That said, when Colleges go through a Conference re-alignment typically it is around $. B1G bringing in Rutgers (so they can tap into the NY/NJ/East coast market), OK/TX going to SEC, etc. What does Carmel/CG bring to the HCC? Carmel dominates the country club sports, CG has dominated football the last 2 years, and both are pretty good at basketball. It's not like either bring significant $ (like colleges with TV contracts) so what would be the reason to allow both into the conference? Seems like it benefits CG/Carmel but not necessarily benefits most of the HCC Schools... A bigger gate (though most HCC schools travel pretty well), is that the draw to the HCC?

UIndy also got a commitment from Zionsville RB Colin Price. I believe he was a 4 year starter at ZVille.
