Is this what's refs refer to as, "Don't start no sh*t, won't be no sh*t?" 😃 Lord, I apologize for that there.

In some of those Texas districts, you can find yourself looking at next season by the time you get to this year's mid-season. Not a lot of fun.

My bad, Fair Oaks. Fair Oaks was my first introduction to the wonkiness of two time zones in Indiana as we had an event for a scout troop at Fair Oaks and left Lafayette in time to make the opening of Fair Oaks only to arrive and find out we were an hour early. The idea of that facility looks pretty cool. It'd be nice if it has turf baseball/softball fields too. Grand Park and Championship Park in Kokomo are nice, but it'd be nice having a place right up 65 from Lafayette that could host tournaments too.

This is pretty much the Texas model ... same sized schools all grouped together in a district. The all-in part wouldn't necessarily matter that much, but might actually cause some grief. The thing that makes Texas where folks don't really care about the conference stuff is because only the top four teams in a district advance to post-season, so the end-all and be-all is the district. Also, Texas is so large, that it's not necessarily an issue finding enough teams of the same class for a district. My old alma mater in Houston belongs to a school district that has 12 6A schools and, for a long time had a state district for football that was almost entirely comprised of a single school district. If you went to districts in Indiana, with an all-in, I'm not sure the district would get nearly the focus that it does in Texas; whereas, at least IMO, conferences seem to have focus/interest besides the post-season.

Need to have a Prairie Farms Conference, sponsored of course by Prairie Farms, which would be RCHS, KV, the Newton Brothers and toss in Knox and NJSP.

Or some Salisbury steak perhaps?

Salisbury steak is wasted on the young. When I was a kid, I always hated that the cafeteria staff were so "haphazard" and had the mashed potatoes touching the steak and the gravy and that they wouldn't drip the gravy off of the steak ... there was just too much of it. Fast forward to today and I'm much wiser and understand the intricate pleasure of Salisbury steak, gravy, and mashed potatoes and also realizing that there's no such thing as too much gravy when you are talking about Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes.
