Could be. Just a week ago 247 was showing two receivers from Northrop in their state rankings. If that's the case, the Bruins will have a very dangerous offense. Until they learn to play defense though, they can't be considered a contender.

Northrop boasts two of the top three receivers in the entire state. Could be coincidence I guess.

I don't see it as a big school/little school issue. A 2A school could be loaded at the RB position. The kid decides to transfer to a 6A school that needs help at that position. Could go either way.

I think your suspicions have merit, just not sure if it's true. But....................... Let's say a kid from Wayne High School (Southern Fort Wayne) or a kid from Heritage High School (Southern Allen County) was in competition for the QB or RB position with someone slightly better. Or maybe they're competing against the coaches son (no disrespect intended). Maybe it would makes sense for that kid to commute 20-25 minutes to a school that would ensure a starting role (Adams Central). I wouldn't be surprised if Adams Central built their entire program around kids from the local community. The coaching staff really does appear to be that good. But I also wouldn't be surprised if there was a transfer here and there. I honestly don't know, it's all speculation from where I'm sitting.

You stumped me on that one. Let's just conclude that Adams Central drawing from Southern Allen County is stretching it.

Hoagland is just a 22 minute commute to Adams Central. So yeah, I suppose they could draw a few.

Agree. Maybe a few kids at most. If a kid in Southern Allen County is unhappy at his current school, I would imagine Bishop Luers to the answer.

To be a contender in 6A I think you need at least half your starters back regardless of how many guys you have with D1 potential.

Maybe he's referring to the rural kids in Allen County. There's not much happening on the south end of Fort Wayne. Massive growth to the north. Massive amount of corn fields to the south.

They are 1-1 vs Westfield over the past two seasons with a state finals appearance. Not a bad resume.

Without looking, I believe it was Westfield last year, CP the year before that, and Carroll the year before that. I understand your position. Regardless whether or not The North gets past the HCC, they don't show very well at state. I'm not from NW Indiana, so I don't know what CP returns. But we can all agree that they return a really good coach.

I said "true" north. I never said they'd get by the HCC. Although it's happened two out of the past three years. Let's not be quick to forget that CP and Carroll are 2-1 vs the HCC the past three years (tournament.)

Two championships in 25 years at the 3A level. Wonders how much of an impact they'll have on 4A. Chatard will be a beast to contend with, but EC and New Pal are out of the way. Does East Noble trend up, sideways, or down? I think it has the potential to be an interesting class. Hard not to bet against Chatard though.

Good coach, but tough schedule.

5A: Cathedral moving down? Oh well, thought maybe New Pal or EC had a chance at this level. Guess not. 6A: No reason to believe that Buzea won't have Crown Point ready out of the true north. The northeast will be a crapshoot between three teams. I've got Carmel's over under at 5.5 in Wrights first season.

So you're implying that I'm DT, as per your private message to me? Let's have a vote. Who thinks I'm DT?

I wrote two sentences to you. From that you can ascertain that there's "no reasoning with me?" "Obviously his lil home boy" because I respect the passion others have for high school football? Your immaturity level is on full display. But hey, you do you. Freedom of speech.

I don't think you can blame the guy for having passion. Quite frankly, need more of it at the high school level.

Correct, as it should be in my opinion. Private school education should be within reach for the middle class.........not just the rich and the poor.

I saw that. Tragic.

I'm "all in" on school choice. In the past, only the rich and the poor were privy to private school education while the middle class was left behind. Blue collar folks who work their butts off, aren't rich, but make too much to qualify for the voucher program, have the right to take exception with the voucher program. School choice now levels the playing field and gives blue collar parents access to the same educational programs that have been given to the poor. I do agree whole heartedly with "Our collective goal should be to provide the best possible PUBLIC education and funding to our local systems and teachers!"

Shocked that man would even have a wife. Poor thing must be miserable.

I too was impressed with the uniforms. This team is finally starting to play closer to their potential. I really don't see them hitting their ceiling though. They need a staff familiar with the college game vs that of the NBA. Fans are getting what they want, a new coach at the end of the season. Now let's just sit back, root the Hoosiers on, and hope we have someone to root for in the tournament besides Purdue. I'm still wondering what's going on with Dane Fife. IPFW improved every season he was there before his ten year stint with Tom Izzo. The guy has a hell of a resume, yet he's not even coaching anywhere?

If you don't know who Tim is, then the "Newbie" can't help you. God Bless and have a good day.

Really? That's your contribution to this forum. I bet Tim's proud.
