Hats off to the Knox fans. They traveled well. Great turnout. Good fight from your boys. Best of luck next year.

That is one heck of a football team you all have there, as well as program! Wow! Want to say good luck at state. But, I don't think you need it.

To the diehard Knox and Chatard fans, I am curious as to how many players on each team are two-way players?

Knox has 37 on the roster.  5 to 7 kids play both ways. As far as Chatard, I have no idea. Max Preps says they have 137. They could play a different offense and defense every quarter if they wanted.

3a is currently ranging from 790 on the high end to 511 on the low end. Knox is currently at 553 at the last count with 14 schools lower in the class than them in enrollment.

Thanks for the info! Where did you find the numbers for that?

Go onto Ihsaa website.  It will list all enrollment counts

Well that answered my last question. Thanks

It goes by how many students are enrolled in grades 9-12

Then I don't understand why Knox is not 2a. From what I can find it says 3a is 600 plus kids. Knox has been below that for years now. I guess I'm looking in the wrong places. Thanks for the reply.

I guess you don't understand enrollment numbers? If we use that logic, all Carmel has to do is only allow 25 kids to be on the team and they can be 1a!

Guess not

Knox’s schedule is weak for a 3A team. It is a fact. They are currently in a conference comprised of only 1A and 2A opponents. According to Sagarin, they have the 182nd toughest schedule in the state. There is only one other team in the top 20 of 3A with a weaker schedule. Knox is a good football team. They are well coached and disciplined. However, the fact remains that their schedule does not prepare them for the 3A tournament. I think it is great move for them to make a move to the new conference. 

I see what your saying, I just don't get  what makes them a 3 a school.  There's 38 boys on the team.  Guess we will find out starting this Friday if they're any good. Thanks for the reply.

Knox @ Lakeland- I think its a matter of when not if, the Knox Football team's weak schedule catches up to them... but its not this week.

Andrean @ LaVille- Andrean is not the same Andrean of the last few years, but their schedule has prepped them for the 2A postseason.

Winamac @ Central Catholic- Knights win big over the Warriors. Has Winamac gotten better or have they just hit the soft spot of their schedule?

Triton @ North Newton- Trojans get healthy for a couple weeks while they start prepping for Judson or Pioneer in the sectional championship.

Culver @ SCUM- Satellites win the rematch from earlier in the season over the lowly Cavaliers.

Caston @ North White- Taking the Comets here as they look for their first sectional win since 2020.

Pioneer @ Judson- The difference in this game to me is which Pioneer team shows up? Will it be the turnover prone, mental mistake team we saw last week, or the Panthers that were aggressive and confident the other half of the year? Judson is a well coached and quality team that will make few mental mistakes and take care of the ball. If the Panthers have 3-4 turnovers like they did last Friday they will be dribbling basketballs next week. As another poster mentioned, both teams were more vanilla than usual last week with the weather conditions, which suited Judson. I expect the young Panthers to come out swinging this Friday and win in a tight one.

 

 

What is weak about Knox schedule? Besides the conferences teams, they play John Glenn and Maconaquah. Both with winning records. 6 out of the nine teams they played had winning records. They say Knox is 3a. Yet there's only 38 kids on the team. So what makes there schedule stronger?

Oh wow!  I would have guessed maybe 3-4 guys playing both sides.  Thanks for the info!  Hoping for a good game tonight!  Welcome to the GID @Madvamp

Me as well!

That ain't gonna happen against the Knox D.  They'll be ready.

I'm curious how many guys Knox has going both ways.  I assume they have more depth and can platoon a little more effectively than the 1A schools in the conference.

Knox only has around 40 kids on the team. There are 5 to 7 that go both ways.
