1st_and_10

They have classes, but the last few years the success have pieces for a few classes the last few years that have made them successful. They will lose 10 seniors. 6 or 7 that played a lot (1 that would have, but was injured early in the year). They played a lot of Sophomores last year and a couple of Freshman. The Coaching Staff has done a really good job getting kids to buy in and they do a really good job of preparing the kids and adjusting their plans with the talent they have. They have been in 3A in the past, but as XStar mentioned, they have ran into some really good teams during the tournament. The Sagamore Conference is a 2A-4A conference/schedule. They have some talent returning, but they have some talent that graduates (as has been the case for the last few years). As for Coach Pelley, I think he has probably had opportunities the last few years to move on if he wanted to. His Staff is pretty much all former Webo players (with the exception of himself, his Dad, and the Strength & Conditioning Coach). He is involved in the youth program more than just a figure that shows up every once in a while. The kids learn a base of the offensive plays in youth and that continues to build into Jr. High. I think there is something special about the community and what has occured the last several years. Parents, kids, local businesses, community support have all bought in. You have Dads that were former players (and former youth coaches) and their kids are in HS (or already graduated) coming back into the youth program to coach/teach kids because they want the program to continue to succeed. Players that don't just show up on Saturday mornings after their film/workouts to watch the younger kids, but will come out to practices and help out.... They come out on Saturdays and watch and high five the kids... That encourage the kids. None of that is mandated or forced upon them by the Staff. The kids understand the position they are in... They understand these kids watch them every Friday night and the kids love it when those "Friday Night Stars" come watch them. Many 15-18 year old kids would struggle with that kind of responsibility. It really is a family type atmosphere.

No clue.

Congratulations to Western Boone's Luke Marsh named 2nd Team All American by Max Preps. Marsh was the only athlete named from Indiana. https://www.maxpreps.com/news/wbPC-KBOd0midbr_6bzsbg/2020-maxpreps-small-school-high-school-football-all-america-team-.htm

But wouldn't those kids HAVE to be enrolled in some school (somewhere)? My assumption is that regardless if they went in person every day, did full remote, or did a hybrid they were enrolled in some school corporation.

Congrats to Carson Steele! https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2020/12/18/indiana-mr-football-2020-winner-carson-steele-center-grove-eric-moore/3951341001/

One of those kids is going to West Point (Miller). Kermode is going to play at the next level as well.

Seeger was in 2A south the last 2 years.

@Coach Nowlin Speedway is Open

@XStar you apparently have a fan.

We start 2-3rd grade with tackle. No kickoffs (each team starts at their own 40) and punts is a 35 yard walk off by the officials (cant go inside 20). Really at this age its teaching/coaching the right way how to block/tackle, but if I’m 100% honest they just kind of run into each other and fall down. We have weight limits to run the ball. Its getting the kids accustomed to pads/helmet and contact.

LCC is 2A

Congrats to the Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches of the Year! A Special Congrats to Coach Pelley and his staff!

Moyers is at Plainfield, isn't he?

Completely forgot about him... I was looking Central Indiana, but this would be a great hire.

6A MIC (CG/Carmel/WC) 5A Cathedral 4A Roncalli/Chatard 3A Webo (I'll be a homer). Though this class is really interesting. Danville loses alot. Not sure about Concordia or Mishawaka Marian... 2A Bishop Luers 1A Covenant Christian or Lutheran

O'Shea?

The position award winners are out there... One of the position winners will be your Mr. Football

@Tanka Jaharithis may come as a total shock... Western Boone does not use an EZ camera. Somehow, by the grace of God they were able to win 3 State Championships in a row. I would assume winning without EZ camera is equivolent to playing/winning up 2 classes?

Technically they didn't finish 3rd because no Sagamore Championship was awarded. 😀 I completely understand what you are saying. The kids and coaches worked their tails off and they grew up. These kids losing the personnel and leaders like Connor Hole or Casey Foster or athletes like Spencer Wright and Brett Wethington didn't get the opportunity to have the summer to learn and grow but the last 2 years they have had a lot of practice . We lose 10 seniors, 6-7 that played significant minutes. I think we are all looking forward to seeing what 3A has in store for us.

Fortunate to make it to State? Webo Dominated everyone in the South of 2A. HC gave them some problems in the 1st half, but Webo still won by 2 scores. Yes, they needed a FG to win state, but Webo had the ball 32 of the 48 minutes.

Josiah Smiths 38 yard FG with :07 seconds left.

Not sure Pelley has Brown Eyes. Lol

Lebanon & Zionsville

I hope you are right! Bishop Luers is a very talented team.
