Morton and Hammond High would both likely be 5A schools post consolidation.

The only only current 5A schools in NW Indiana are Michigan City and Munster.

 

LaPorte is 5A also.

It all depends on the browser. Chrome is a lot better at saving situations like that. Edge/Explorer is not. 

More than a couple clicks later and it's gone in both.

Can this profile stuff be turned off?

did you re enter the thread you were in?  sometimes it will re appear that way.   

I did.  I returned to the thread after I answered the required profile info and nothing was there.  Not a big deal.  It was just irritating after I wrote out a paragraph or two and didn’t get to submit it.

Apologies to those forced to enter the same info more than once while I am setting up features. 

Is it possible to recover something that had been typed in the reply field?  I had written a response to a post and was about to click submit when the page changed to some garbage about updating my profile.  I tried clicking back and nothing was there.

Anyone have idea on how the 3A north might look?

Here’s my take on all of 3A.

Hammond
Twin Lakes
Hammond Clark
Hanover Central
Calumet
Knox
Benton Central
River Forest
26
Brebeuf
West Lafayette
Guerin Catholic
Hamilton Heights
Crawfordsville
Northwestern
Tri-West
North Montgomery
27
S.B. Washington
West Noble
Mishawaka Marian
Jimtown
Glenn
Garrett
Lakeland
Tippecanoe Valley
28
Norwell
F.W. Concordia
Bellmont
Peru
Maconaquah
Heritage
Oak Hill
F.W. Bishop Luers
29
Edgewood
Owen Valley
Indianapolis Washington
Indian Creek
West Vigo
Greencastle
Sullivan
South Vermillion
30

Heritage Hills
Salem
Brownstown Central
32
Evansville Bosse
Washington
Vincennes Lincoln

Princeton
Mt. Vernon (Posey)
Pike Central
Southridge

It will depend on who is selected for the alignment committee.  All it takes is one AD or administrator that wants to stack the deck in their favor or remove a school from their tournament path for as long as possible.  Geography and logical groupings are often secondary to selfish motives.

I would expect 33 to be placed in 5A in advance of the Elkhart consolidation and them to be placed in a 5-team sectional. 

That would bring BNL up into the equation. 

This is what I came up with

9: LaPorte, Munster, Michigan City, SB Adams
10: Elkhart Central/Memorial, Concord, Goshen, Mishawaka,
11: Dwenger, North, Northrop, Snider
12: Anderson, Harrison, Kokomo, McCutcheon
13: Decatur Central, Plainfield, New Palestine, Whiteland
14: BNL, Bloomington N/S, Franklin
15: Castle, Ev. North, THN, THS
16: Floyd Central, Jeff, New Albany, Seymour

 

There will be 34 teams in 5A as long as Hammond Noll and Wood Memorial express their intention to play.  I don’t think Trinity Lutheran is going to play, but if they did, then Greenfield-Central would move up to 5A giving that class 35 teams.

9
S.B. Adams
LaPorte
Michigan City
Munster
10
Goshen
Concord
Elkhart Central
Elkhart Memorial
Mishawaka
11
F.W. Northrop
F.W. Snider
F.W. North
F.W. Bishop Dwenger
12
Harrison (W.L.)
McCutcheon
Kokomo
Huntington North
13
Whiteland
Anderson
Franklin Community
New Palestine
14
Decatur Central
Bloomington South
Bloomington North
Plainfield
15
Jeffersonville
New Albany
Floyd Central
Seymour
Bedford-North Lawrence
16
Castle
Terre Haute North
Terre Haute South
Evansville North

Based on Coach Jackson's List above here is my stab at 5A sectionals. North is pretty tricky on who to put with the Lafayette Schools and Kokomo. It really comes down to Munster or FW North. I went with FW North Here. 

Sectional 9	Sectional 10	Sectional 11	Sectional 12
Munster	Mishawaka	Goshen	FW North
Michigan City	Elkhart Central	FW Northrop	Kokomo
LaPorte	Elkhart Memorial	FW Dwenger	Harrison WL
SB Adams	Concord	FW Snider	McCutcheon
Sectional 13	Sectional 14	Sectional 15	Sectional 16
Anderson	Decatur Central	Seymour	Terre Haute North
New Pal	Plainfield	Floyd Central	Terre Haute South
Whiteland	Bloomington North	New Albany	Evansville North
Franklin	Bloomington South	Jeffersonville	Castle

 

Coach was missing 2 teams from his 5A list.  Huntington North and BNL.

Posting this topic as one where users can make their guesses on what the new 6A sectional alignments will be. Here is what I would propose:

Sectional 1: Crown Point, Lake Central, Merrillville, Portage

Sectional 2: Chesterton, Penn, Valparaiso, Warsaw

Sectional 3: FW Carroll, Fishers, Hamilton Southeastern, Homestead

Sectional 4: Carmel, Lafayette Jefferson, Noblesville, Westfield

Sectional 5: Lawrence Central, Lawrence North, North Central, Warren Central

Sectional 6: Avon, Brownsburg, Pike, Zionsville

Sectional 7: Arsenal Tech, Ben Davis, Perry Meridian, Southport

Sectional 8: Center Grove, Columbus East, Columbus North, Franklin Central

That is the exact alignment I posted for 6A before the forum crashed when I posted the numbers from the DOE back in November.

Got both Boone Grove & Eastern (Greentown). Actually added in a non football school. This time I ended up with exactly 320 playoff eligible teams for the next two years. Am I correct on that?

Hammond Bishop Noll, Wood Memorial, and Trinity Lutheran are all IHSAA tournament eligible and have played football in recent seasons.  Trinity looks like it will not play, so they most likely will not be included in the upcoming classification and sectional alignment for 2019-20 and 2020-21.  Bishop Noll and Wood Memorial are the 2 that would need to express their intentions to play in either year of the next cycle.  If they plan to play, even if it is only 2020-21, then they will be included in the classification and sectional alignment.  I would imagine both will plan to play so they can be included in the alignment, which will mean 322 football teams.  32 in 6A, 34 in 5A, and 64 in 4A-1A.  That means Bedford NL and Huntington North will be added to your 5A list, Yorktown and Danville move up to 4A, South Vermillion and F.W. Luers to 3A, and Taylor to 2A.  Add Noll to 2A and Wood Memorial to 1A.

Who are the largest schools NOT playing football?

On 1/14/2019 at 3:04 PM, MacAttack53 said:

Muncie Burris - 529

Switz County - 406

South Ripley - 379

Southwestern (Hanover) - 374

South Knox - 361

Wapahani - 360

I'm not sure about a lot of the charter schools around the state, like Lighthouse, for instance.

There are 2 schools larger than Burris without football.  Indianapolis Herron - 889 students, and Gary Lighthouse - 578 students.
