I don't think that Conference Indiana will fall through anytime soon. One of the positives that has come out of a smaller conference is that the team is able to schedule games against teams like Roncalli, Bishop Chatard, Decatur Central, Gibson Southern (Brady Allen years), and Cathedral. The coaching staff at Columbus North has been trying to schedule tougher competition to prepare the team for post season. It's challenging being one of the smallest 6A schools in the state.
Our coaches increased the level of competition to our preseason scrimmage schedule. We faced Whiteland (Runner up), West Lafayette, Peoria High (Illinois Runner Up), Warren Central, Pike, Fishers, Mount Vernon.
Again, I believe the coaching staff's focus has been to prepare for the big juggernaut schools/programs that we end up facing in the post season. With Center Grove being in our sectional our kids have to get used to playing that type of program.
