Glad this family was able to make this personal decision to benefit their son. That's the way it should be. Now I'm going to shuffle off to a 2A thread to avoid that whiny Sheridan announcer complain that benefits like this should keep parochial schools out of 1A.

South Putnam is going to be very hard to beat in the south this year. Of the two south teams that came within one score of Lutheran, the Eagles have the most coming back. Starting QB returns, along with one of the best deep threats in 1A as a sophomore. Look for South Putnam to put up a lot of points. Providence was better last year, but graduated quite a few key contributors.

Map of possible 2A sectionals, if the preliminary list from above holds. Provides more of a northwest/southeast semi-state than a true north/south semi-state. The proposed sectional in Indianapolis would consist of: Park Tudor, Covenant Christian, Heritage Christian, Cardinal Ritter, Scecina Memorial, Lutheran and Chistel House Manual. I assume gerrymandering in LCC and Andrean in exchange for Manual will be considered.

Central Michigan has offered three players from the 3-time state champion Lutheran Saints: Taurean Langston, 2024 OL (6'6" - 300) Jackson Willis, 2025 QB (6'2" - 195) Cameron McHaney, 2026 DL (6'3" - 275)

We'll pencil them in as the 2028 1A North representative. Blackhawk Christian should be bumped to 2A by that point.

Not exactly sure why this is hard to understand. You never want to think people are being intentionally dense, but sometimes you have to wonder. Maybe the issue is how people understand the phrase "controlling enrollment". That's often used in the context of enrollment numbers, as in, "private schools control their numbers to remain in a particular class." This doesn't happen. Ever. Schools may grow faster than their projected rates (Guerin?), but any limitations on enrollment are based solely on building capacity. No school wants to have a population smaller than their building capacity, especially if it's a school that can't issue a bond referendum for expansion. If you're referring to "controlling enrollment" in the context of evaluating the quality of students for admission, that absolutely happens. But it's not based on height/weight/40-time. And it's probably pretty rare that a student is denied a seat when there's one available (see the point above).

I think this is the reference. Water under the bridge:

Yes, many of the private school coaches are ring chasers. As are many of the public school coaches. That seems to be the point of this particular activity.

The incessant weeping and gnashing of teeth displayed by overzealous public school fans around tournament time makes it difficult for private school coaches to enjoy the GID like any normal fan. And that is a tragedy.

It really isn't to anyone with a basic understanding of economics or cost accounting. Pure fantasy. Yes, we can. And have. Several times.

Any help you can provide Indy Lutheran would be appreciated. They'd like to "control their enrollment" up about 50-70 students. Building holds 400, but staff/course offerings are optimized at about 320. Last enrollment figures were 245. Thanks in advance.

Was Matt Millhouse in that group? Was on the Luers staff for the Jaylon Smith years, then coached at St. Francis.

Which team has played more meaningful snaps in the 4th quarter this year? LuHi had the two one-score tourney games (Providence, South Putnam), plus close-ish regular season games (Speedway, Lapel). How many AC games saw the varsity playing the full 4th quarter?

I'll be in the endzone of the Lutheran/Sheridan game running a camera and the sideline replay. I will admit, for the two weeks Lutheran had off this year, it sure was nice flipping between multiple games on the IHSAAtv site rather than sitting in the rain!
