    I sometimes think you get caught up in rumors that circulate throughout the hallways. No idea what you're talking about with regard to Snider and don't really care to know. Sounds like drama.  Northrop? Haven't heard anything. Sounds like maybe a rumor gone bad without any pertinent facts.

    I thought this was a thread about Bishop Luers? You've got to hand it to those kids who wanted to stay in 3a. I think, for most kids, they would prefer to play up and face the better competition. But it seems most coaches and administrators are happy where they are placed. I don't think most head football coaches are going to voluntarily play up a class. They would rather be on a level playing field than compete with schools that are bigger and have more resources. The athletic directors? I would say it's financial. The further you advance, the more revenue for the athletic department.

    Personally, I'm starting to like the 2 year cycle. It gives schools an opportunity to formulate rivalries at two different class levels. It still needs some tweaking though. For many teams, talent comes and goes in two year cycles. A strong junior/senior class wins the state championship at a lower level, therefore pushing the weaker classes behind them up a class. So in many cases the team that won state should have been playing up, and the team that is rebuilding should have been playing down. I'm not sure what the answer is.

     

    I guess they are rumors, but I do know teachers in both buildings.  They generally know about the bs that happens for prized pupils (athletes) who might have behavior issues.  I might have a different perspective since my kids go to Northrop.  The gun at school all day rumor certainly came to be true. 

     

    I’d like the coaches’ cycle recommendation.

    In all seriousness.  I miss the Indiana Catholics.  Tough parents, tough kids, that just happen to like a good time.   In the greater "God Rapids"  area, I really think that Religion and the fear surrounding it makes kids afraid to throw all in and be passionate about something.  We have trouble ever getting our full secondary or set of skill guys at a 7 on 7 because our kids go on multiple mission trips (or lets be honest mission tourism trips) during the summer.  If they don't go, their going to hell, or at least that is what they are led to believe.   We just have a bunch of nice kids that are scared of ever getting too excited about something for fear of getting their wrists slapped.   I teach at a medium sized public school but we are basically a christian school without the bible class.  

    I can't really describe it, but somehow the "vibe" between the two states seems to be very different to me.   Pretty sure if Lowell or West Lafayette tried to be the "Devils" up here parents would move their kids out of district in mass numbers. 

    A fellow Assistant coach on our staff put it best "If one of our kids somehow wandered into a hot piece of a$$, they would have to have their mom blow on it first"  😂

    I'm not saying you need "bad" kids to be good, but I sure would take some right about now! 

    Trade you spots!  🙂

    Richer?  As Dann indicated, isn't this parents using THEIR tax dollars to send THEIR child to the school of THEIR choice?  It's no different than with open enrollment a parent decides to transfer their child from New Haven to Homestead.  It's THEIR tax dollars going the school of THEIR choice.

     

    Who's going to drive that far?

    So your main objective in starting this post was to stir up controversy? Typical

    Absolutely not.  I was sharing the article.  I'm not afraid to share my thoughts, nor are you.  What did happen with those youngsters at Snider?  Did you hear about the Northrop basketball players bullying kids and even throwing urine on them in the bathroom and FWCS does nothing because they're winning?

     Anything in the MIC or HCC is a great 6a job.  

    1a  Sheridan

    2a Pioneer

    3a: West Lafayette ,Western

    4a: East Central

    5a: Snider - Tech if anyone ever gets in there and is allowed to do it right.

    Your point on Tech is right on.  I think the bigger the school system, the harder it is to do anything right.
