You’re stuck with me Donnie THE Andrew Rodriguez I meant 1A. That’s my bad for not being specific. I should’ve known better.

Another boring season in the WRC. 1. Panthers - easily will be the best team in 1a this year. I’ve heard the kid playing qb is a very good athlete and they have even gone spread a little bit this summer (just to empty the box some) I don’t think it’s state championship or bust. Look what Sanders has done! The WORST team in the state just a few years ago is now the BEST team in the state. I know I believe, the players believe and the community believes in him and this team. Can they make that final push? I think yes 2. Seeger - Coach Cronk brings that big ball knowledge to the WRC. We all remember what happened last time a 5a coach came to the WRC? Yeah he beat the crap outta everyone except RP. Look for the same thing to happen here. 3. Wolves - I could easily see them being in the #2 spot. Tough and well coached team. They have one of the best younger groups coming up and I see them competing for the top spot next year. Their 8th grade qb would be the best qb in the conference right now. 4. Covington - I think we all believe and trust in what Coach Wheeler is building. Gotta find a way to keep their numbers up. It’s tough when you have an extra sport like soccer. 1a programs can’t compete if there’s multiple sports per season. 5. SV - they will only get better. Young group that is ugly and very talented. Give them a year or two and they will be at the top. 6. Attica - this is the year the table starts turning. 7. NV - might have some more football players on the team but it will be another bad year. Can Crum and co turn things around? 8. FC - No Herb = no wins. It’s really that simple.

With coach King leading this group they can compete in any game on their schedule

Benton Central will also be viewed as a dark horse in football as well. They now have the legendary Herb King as their head coach. Look for them to be much much improved and be competitive in most all of their games. He takes not so great teams and makes them great team.

But they made it out of their sectional and out of the regional and out of the semi state. Just to lose to Sheridan who had one of the best 1A football players the state has ever seen. Have to have post season success. Your comparing apples to oranges.

The Panthers had a very solid year and Coach Sanders deserves credit for turning that program around. That’s not easy to do. That said I do think the conference overall is not as strong as it has been in previous years. There have been teams in the WRC over the last 20 years that were on a different level. It’ll be interesting to see if the Panthers can take the next step and prove they can compete at that elite level beyond just conference success. The 07 Rockville team would've had 50+ in the first half against the Panthers.

The rebuilder is heading to Benton Central. May I ask who you are talking about?

If NV would've moved on from Crabtree sooner they could've landed King. They waited too long and missed out on that opportunity though.

How does Earl fill the shoes of the legendary Herb King? Tough task ahead of him for sure.

The rumor I'm hearing is that he is following Herb and going to help him at Benton Central

Coach King doesn’t have to consult with anyone about his moves. Does what he wants when he wants. I’m not sure what debate you’re talking about? I don’t think there’s anything to debate. We all know.

WHO? I don't believe it

ANYTIME

Is this a real question?! What makes King so legendary is the impact he has on a program. Before Herb took over at FC they were a combined 4-23. The four years he was at FC they were 20-21. Is that great? Well its a heck of a lot better than 4-23. He takes struggling teams (most the time the worst in the state) and he turns them into competitive teams. If we look at Sagarin Ratings at the past couple schools he's been at Seeger in 2015 before he got there was a 12.61 / his last year 56.03 FC in 2021 before King they were 25.52 / his last year 50.27 Those are huge increases! and it takes him only a couple of years to get these teams competitive. Benton Central was a -.17 (yes that's a negative) this year. If the trend continues BC will be at least 30 points better next season. Again can anyone tell me where I can find some BC Bison gear?????

Let's not forget he played under the legendary Coach King. He was a great offensive lineman. Sadly lineman don't usually record many stats.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Worst case scenario for FC and best case scenario for BC Herb turned that program around. I refuse to believe they forced him out. It’s so fitting for him to take the WORST job in the state of Indiana. This will only add to his legacy as he will take a team on the 20+ game losing streak and win at least 4 games in his first year. They’re be a winning program within 4 years. Can anyone tell me where I can find some BC gear!?

Lets not forgot they beat a very tough and physical Mustangs squad in the sectional also. In that game they saw a offensive scheme that was masterfully crafted by coach King.

Not buying it. The transfer rule isn’t going to impact any of the schools in the WRC in any major way. Everyone was at that game because it was two of the best teams in 1A. And honestly, most people wanted to see a program that’s climbed from the bottom finally win the big one. Transfers had nothing to do with it.

Best players in the conference 1. Schelsky PH 2. Pickle PH 3. Foxworthy FC 4. Herzog Cov 5. Crum PH 6. Leonard NV 7. Cole Seeger 8. Hopkins RP

I don't know as much about the teams as you do but I do know what the the standings will look at the end of the season 1. PH its a state championship or bust season for them. The top two best players in the conference on the same team in Schelsky and Pickle 2. Seeger didn't lost much last year and I could see them giving PH a game for about a quarter 3. Covington it's a basketball school and they will always be competitive. 4. NV Lost too much from last years team 5. FC has the second best player in the WRC in Foxworthy and could carry them to a top three finish 6. Attica still rebuilding 7. RP losing your best players is going to be tough for a first year head coach 8. SV lost too much and will be too young

Average season for the WRC. I'd like to think it will be a lot more competitive next year. Front runner for the WRC crown in 2026 will be the Mustangs with the Panthers chasing right behind them.

I think Schelsky will end up being a good combo of both Matt King and Christian Johnson. Kid is going to be a stud

They would struggle against Northview and Sullivan. That's it.

FC plays that same schedule and they’d have the same record, if not better than South Put. You’re welcome to disagree but there’s no reason for name calling. I’d like to think you've been taught better than that.
