AD’s love 8 team conferences because they only have to work to schedule 2 non-conference games, which is enough games to satisfy coaches that want a little control over their schedule. 7 teams is not ideal but could be worse, and anything less than 7 seems to create frustration for both AD’s and coaches. That being said, I think 6 team conferences are perfect. 5 conference games plus 4 non conference. One should be a game your team expect to win, 1 should be a game you should expect to lose unless you play incredibly well, and 2 should be “toss ups” that could go either way and prepare you for the state tournament. Looking at the Indy area, 6 team conferences for the 6A/large 5A schools could be split pretty close to what you’ve suggested. My choices would be Carmel, Fishers, Hamilton Southeastern, Noblesville, Westfield, and Zionsville in the Hoosier Crossroads North. Then the Hoosier Crossroads South becomes Avon, Brownsburg, Center Grove, Columbus North, Franklin Central, and Southport. The MIC goes with the 6 remaining members - Ben Davis, Lawrence Central, Lawrence North, North Central, Pike, and Warren Central. If Carmel and Center Grove can figure out a way to be adults again, these 3 conferences can help each other by playing 2 crossover games. Each school would play 1 opponent from the other 2 conferences. That leaves open 2 games to play out-of-state opponents, Cathedral, Penn, FW schools, or smaller schools in the Indy area if they prefer. The Mid-State has been a solid, competitive conference, but if we are throwing out their happiness, it could also become separate conferences of 6 teams. Throw in some of the Hoosier Heritage and it could look a little like the 6A conferences I previously mentioned. Mid-State West could be Bloomington North, Bloomington South, Martinsville, Mooresville, Terre Haute North, and Terre Haute South. Then the Mid-State East is Decatur Central, Franklin, Greenwood, Perry Meridian, Plainfield, and Whiteland. The Hoosier Heritage then joins the group with Greenfield-Central, Mount Vernon, New Castle, New Palestine, Pendleton Heights, and Shelbyville. The HHC waves good-bye to Delta and Yorktown who join a new conference of Anderson, Delta, Marion, Muncie Central, Richmond, and Yorktown.

I meant to say Culver Academies as the 6th school in the private school division, with Blackhawk Christian as an alternative option.

New Conference: Penn, Elkhart, Warsaw, Homestead, Carroll, FW Snider, FW Northrop. 6 conference games, leaving 3 open weeks for non-conference games to maintain existing rivalries and play against opponents that fit the competitive level of each team (or cherry pick an easy win). NLC: Concord, Goshen, Mishawaka, New Prairie, Northridge, NorthWood, Plymouth, Wawasee. Summit Athletic - Public Division: SB Adams, SB Riley, SB Washington, FW North, FW South, FW Wayne Summit Athletic - Private Division: SB St. Joseph, Mishawaka Marian, FW Bishop Dwenger, FW Bishop Luers, FW Concordia, FW Blackhawk Christian (this is a stretch, but they will become competitive quickly).

Penn and Elkhart needed to either convince the Duneland schools to take them and expand the conference or put together something new with Homestead, Carroll, and maybe Warsaw. The time to do it would have been with the Elkhart consolidation, but it’s probably too late now.

It would be a tough sell trying to convince Rochester and Tippecanoe Valley to leave the Three Rivers Conference. The enrollment gap between the largest schools and smallest schools in the TRC seems to be increasing, but the top 7 schools (including Rochester and Valley) would have basically the same enrollments as the 7 schools that would form a new conference with them (not including Winamac). The average travel time for Rochester in the TRC is 28.5 miles, and Valley’s average is 27 miles. In the resurrected Northern State Conference, Rochester’s average travel distance would be 33 miles and Valley would be 32 miles. And that’s if Winamac is included since they are not far from Rochester. Here’s the enrollment comparison: TRC Peru 608 Maconaquah 594 Tippecanoe Valley 545 Rochester 485 Wabash 478 Manchester 463 Whitko 382 North Miami 278 Northfield 266 Southwood 253 New NSC Glenn 625 Knox 570 Tippecanoe Valley 545 Jimtown 541 Rochester 485 Bremen 472 LaVille 387 Winamac 374

TW, Danville, and Lebanon really haven’t grown that much, but the gap is increasing because some of the other SAC schools, especially North Montgomery and Southmont, are seeing a decline in enrollment. Here’s a comparison going back 15 years to 2007-08 and the enrollments from count day this past fall. School - 2007 Enrollment / 2022 Enrollment Danville - 811 / 778 Lebanon - 1033 / 1027 Tri-West - 560 / 615 Crawfordsville - 726 / 689 Frankfort - 906 / 895 North Montgomery - 684 / 516 Southmont - 651 / 477 Western Boone - 619 / 556

I did say “If geography was not a consideration…” My suggestion will never happen due in large part to geography. The similar enrollments, demographics, and strength of competition would make a lot of sense in my opinion, but geography is just too prohibitive for that swap to actually work.

Those schools tried the HCC and it didn’t work. I don’t think they would make any more sense for the MIC. Jeff and McCutcheon seem to fit pretty well in the NCC. Harrison has been dominant, winning the all-sport championship every year since they joined the conference. I think the only sport Harrison hasn’t won or been co-champion at least once since they joined is boys basketball, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the emphasis placed on boys basketball by all the other NCC schools. If geography was not a consideration, a trade between the NCC and Conference Indiana would be interesting. Something like this: Conference Indiana: Bloomington North, Bloomington South, Columbus North, Southport, Harrison, Lafayette Jeff, McCutcheon North Central Conference: Logansport, Kokomo, Marion, Muncie Central, Anderson, Richmond, Terre Haute North, Terre Haute South

That’s who I was thinking. The travel in Conference Indiana isn’t much better than the NCC, but Tech will be looking for a home if they don’t fulfill their dream of ending up in the MIC. I’m not sure how the Bloomington schools and Columbus North would feel about adding Tech. Southport would probably welcome Tech since they are close, and the Terre Haute schools should be open to anyone joining just so the conference stays alive. I don’t think any of the Mid-State Conference schools would see Conference Indiana as a greener pasture.

Who would they add?

Well, if they took Brownsburg with them instead of Franklin Central… HCC MIC Carmel 5192 Ben Davis 4699 Fishers 3674 Warren Central 3788 Hamilton Southeastern 3449 North Central (Indpls.) 3628 Franklin Central 3298 Avon 3342 Noblesville 3209 Pike 3287 Center Grove 2851 Brownsburg 3161 Westfield 2652 Lawrence North 2849 Zionsville 2247 Lawrence Central 2306

A swap of Carmel/Center Grove for Avon/Franklin Central would make the MIC and HCC almost mirror images of each other by enrollment. Each of those schools would probably be closer to the demographics of the conference they would move to. Brownsburg could flip instead of Franklin Central. Here’s an enrollment comparison using this year’s DOE data. HCC MIC Carmel 5192 Ben Davis 4699 Fishers 3674 Warren Central 3788 Hamilton Southeastern 3449 North Central (Indpls.) 3628 Noblesville 3209 Avon 3342 Brownsburg 3161 Franklin Central 3298 Center Grove 2851 Pike 3287 Westfield 2652 Lawrence North 2849 Zionsville 2247 Lawrence Central 2306

Since nobody has named them yet (why post about it then?), can I guess? I have no inside information, just guessing. 2 shoe in’s - Southport and Arsenal Tech 1 unsure - Columbus North 2 package deal longshots- Bloomington North and South Avon is another school I thought would go into this instead of Tech.

It’s all published annually by the department of education. I’m originally from that area so I still follow many of those schools.

If you compare the enrollment of Blackford County Schools from last year to this year, every elementary cohort has gone down by an average of just over 6 students. Meanwhile, the enrollment in each of the same cohorts at Southern Wells has gone up by an average of 6 students. That may not seem like a big deal, but it’s relevant when each cohort at Blackford has around 115 students and SW has around 70. And that’s just the number who transferred after Montpelier Elementary closed at the end of last year. Going down a rabbit hole here - looking at the public transfer data for this year, it shows that Blackford County Schools have 1752 students who live in their district, and 139 of them choose to attend Southern Wells. The majority of those transfers live in or around Montpelier and live closer to SW than Blackford. The 2nd highest number of transfers out of Blackford’s district is 38 students who go to Eastbrook. Blackford has a net public transfer rate (49 incoming minus 305 outgoing) of -256. That is a massive financial hit when you consider the state’s tuition support for each student is around $6000 per year. Meanwhile SW has a net public transfer rate of +185. In addition to the large number who come to SW from Blackford, they also get quite of few (69) from Warren that live in Huntington’s district. SW does lose 68 students to Bluffton, but 31 from Bluffton come to SW for a net of -37. Bluffton gains a lot (226) from Norwell, most of which probably live on the north side of Bluffton which is actually Norwell’s district. 81 from Bluffton’s district go to Norwell so the Tigers have a net gain of 145 with NW. Bluffton’s overall net transfers are +160. Norwell has a net transfer rate of +112, with the largest number coming from Fort Wayne Community and Huntington (Markle). In your home county of Adams, Bellmont is in a similar situation as Blackford. They have a net transfer rate of -281. 270 of their outgoing transfers go to Adams Central. AC has a net transfer rate of +279. I don’t think there are very many of those transfers who are from low income families or students who have special needs. That contributes to a noteworthy difference in the demographics of AC compared to Bellmont and South Adams. SA basically breaks even with their net transfer rate of -16.

Southern Wells is not closing and really isn’t in jeopardy of potential closure any time soon. That was a rumor that got started several years ago by some people in the district who wanted to make sure the tax referendum would pass. Fear is a common motivator used to drum up votes and when some of the tight wad farmers in the district raised opposition to the referendum, the rumor got started that the school would close if it didn’t pass. The tax referendum passed then, and it was just renewed in the November election, which will continue to help with funding. The enrollment at the elementary level has gone up this year with the closure of Montpelier Elementary and there seems to be some optimism that things will get better down the road. Back to the main topic, SW‘s program has been struggling because they haven’t been able to develop any significant investment from their athletes. Many choose not to play football, and several who play have little interest in working to get better. Some certainly do, but not enough to turn the cultural around and get the support they had in the LeFebvre era. The ACAC does not have anywhere near the depth of the MAC in football, so the opportunity to win games and get athletes to buy in is much more likely at SW. It’s tough to build belief in the program if the wins don’t come, and Parkway faces a greater challenge to get those wins than SW. If Parkway was the 8th member of the ACAC, I would be more optimistic that they could win more games than SW. A move to the ACAC would probably benefit Parkway, and if they aren’t winning enough games in the MAC to get into the tournament in Ohio anyway, what would they have to lose? At least they could win some games and build some optimism for the future. That being said, I don’t think a move to an Indiana conference is a realistic possibility. I know schools from Illinois have played in an Indiana conference, but I’m not familiar with any from Ohio. Indiana schools could easily do it since we have an all-in tournament. SW doesn’t have to worry about qualifying for the tournament, so that is one less obstacle to turning their fortunes around.

I don’t know anything for sure about Dugger Union. I think their goal is to play 11 man football, but if their numbers are low they will do 8 man to keep the program going like they did this past season. I included Anderson Prep in the enrollment data since they have had a team, but they didn’t play this past season. I left Greenwood Christian out when I posted this, but they have an enrollment of 201 this year and would be an addition to 1A. Enrollment numbers for grades 9-12 are used. Not every high school has an 8th grade that directly feeds into their school, so it would be difficult to use 8th grade data. I think the initial enrollment data used when the transition was made to class basketball only included grades 9-11.

For the two year period of 2020-21 and 2021-22, Madison Consolidated Schools had the E.O. Muncie Jr/Sr High School, which I think was an alternative school, in addition to Madison Consolidated High School. They reported the enrollment of the alternative school separately from MCHS. The school had about 75 students last year. If you add those students into the enrollment of MCHS, it puts the enrollment back at 815, which is in the ballpark of the MCHS enrollment prior to the last two years. Those are the 20-30 students in each class who disappeared/reappeared. Their enrollment this year is back up to 200 or so in each class, and they have a pretty large freshman class at 243.

Faith is at 245 this year. I was also a bit surprised to see Whiteland’s number down quite a bit from their recent trend. It was nice to see some “new blood” in the 5A and 6A finals this year with Whiteland and Carroll. Harrison has grown just like those two schools but needs a breakthrough in the tournament to really take the next step with their program.

There are several schools right at the 5A/6A split that are within 100 students of each other. Almost all of them are capable of making a run in 5A but probably don’t go very far in 6A. Lafayette Jeff’s enrollment has actually been up the last two years from what it was for the previous 10 years of 2012-2021. They were pretty stagnant at around 1950-2050 students during that 10 year period, but they’ve been over 2100 the last two years. Harrison’s enrollment stayed right around 1675 from 2007-2012, then took off and has grown pretty steadily since 2013, increasing by about 50 students per year. 28 Fort Wayne Northrop 2136 29 Harrison (West Lafayette) 2136 30 Jeffersonville 2130 31 Lafayette Jefferson 2113 32 Warsaw 2096 33 Valparaiso 2087 34 Merrillville 2042 35 Decatur Central 2031

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t sure if GCA was planning to play a full schedule next year but it looks like they are.

I think there is a swap of opponents for week 1 that would make sense. Adams Central and Garrett should trade with Eastbrook and Huntington North. AC should play Eastbrook and Garrett should play Huntington North. A few years ago some schools in my area made a swap like that. Lafayette Jeff was supposed to play Central Catholic and West Lafayette was scheduled to play Tri-West. After a year, they got together and swapped to have Jeff play West Side and Central Catholic played Tri-West. Games were close and competitive each year and I think the same would be true for this swap.

Man, that’s presuming a lot. I don’t think there is any doubt Bellmont would be more competitive in the ACAC in the sports you listed, but I don’t know about the instant success you are suggesting. Other than Southern Wells, who is way down right now just like Bellmont, I’m not sure the Braves instantly add more football wins. Bellmont does have an excellent wrestling program, but Jay County is also a top program in the area. I could see a strong rivalry building between those two programs if Bellmont did make the jump. Bellmont volleyball has also been really strong, however, one of their losses last season was to Heritage, so Bellmont wouldn’t have won the ACAC. I know I suggested the ACAC schools reach out to Bellmont, but I think the depth of the NE8 compared to the ACAC in most sports and the lack of schools with soccer, swimming, etc. in the ACAC will make Bellmont reluctant to consider a move.

The DOE released enrollment data earlier this month from the fall count day for the 22-23 school year. Here are the enrollments for each school for grades 9-12. I made a tentative split for each class just to give an idea where they could be, but this is not a realignment year. The fall ‘23 count day will be used for the next realignment. Schools with an * did not report their data to the DOE, so their enrollments are listed as the same as the number they gave the IHSAA last year. I included Indianapolis Irvington and Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian since both are planning to move to 11 man football and they are tournament eligible schools. I put Cathedral in 6A since they already have enough success factor points to stay up in the next cycle. 6A Enrollment 1 Carmel 5192 2 Ben Davis 4699 3 Warren Central 3788 4 Fishers 3674 5 North

You don’t need players with D1 potential to be a power in 1A/2A, which is a big reason why some players/families choose to go to a 1A/2A parochial school. They may not have the talent to get a lot of attention or make as much of an impact at a 5A/6A school, so they choose to go to a smaller school where they can be one of the best players and get more attention. These are the kind of players that would be more likely to go to an NAIA program or D3 school, which is often a great fit for them. Blackhawk Christian has many similar characteristics to Indianapolis Lutheran. Enrollments are almost identical, very similar demographics, and both located in a highly populated area near much larger schools. Using Lutheran as an example, they have been able to attract solid players to their 1A program despite being close to Roncalli, Franklin Central, Warren Central, New Pal, etc. Here is the list of parochial schools with football. Nearly all of them have won or appeared in a state championship. I won’t be surprised to see Blackhawk with a competitive 1A program in the next 5-10 years, and making an appearance in the 1A finals within 15 years. Lutheran played their first IHSAA tournament game in 2006. They went to state for the first time in 2019. It took Covenant Christian 6 years to go to their first state finals in football. Heritage Christian also made it to state in their 6th year playing in the tournament.
