This is definitely not a lateral move. The tradition at Indian Creek alone is worth the move. Cascade has one winning season since 2006. Spinks had success the past two seasons because of a few move in kids from Decatur Central and a few other schools.
My source is telling me that there is a possibility of Cascade not having an 8th grade team next year. Numbers are currently down, not to mention the conference they are in (Triton Central, Scecina, Ritter, Lutheran, etc.). They will be the whipping post of that conference as long as they are in it.
