This certainly used to be the trend, but it may, potentially, be in flux if recent standings hold as a trend. Harrison has been the NCC champ in track twice: 2018 and 2019 ... although the state finals were not held last year. Jeff also has two titles in track: 1972 and 2002. Cross country has Harrison with two: 2018 and 2019 and Jeff with six ... its most recent two coming in 2014 and 2015. In looking at state finals, 2018 was the last set as 19-20 was cancelled because of COVID. Results there are interesting: For regionals: 100-meter dash finals: Harrison 5th, Jeff 6th 110-meter hurdles final - Harrison 3rd and 8th, Jeff no place 200-meter dash - Jeff 3rd, Harrison no place 1600-meter run - Harrison 2nd and 3rd, Jeff no place 4x100-meter relay - Harrison 2nd, Jeff 6th 400-meter dash - Harrison 10th, Jeff no place 300-meter hurdles - Harrison 10th, Jeff no place 800-meter run - Harrison 1st, Jeff no place 3200-meter run - Harrison 3rd and 8th, Jeff no place 4x400 relay - Harrison 6th, Jeff no place I didn't pull state yet ... running off to work. Will take a look, but the times they may be a changin'.

Center Grove, Westfield, Arsenal Tech, and Crispus Attucks, for starters, say that those numbers don't matter as much as you are implying that they do. I think it's way too simplistic to state that a team has "better athletes" just because of the racial make-up of their team. Is there a higher representation of Blacks in football in Indiana compared to the general population? Sure. Does that mean that they are better athletes than Whites? I wouldn't make that conjecture as a sweeping statement. The numbers don't always tell the context and correlation, even though I'm not seeing it in this case for the general case, doesn't equate to causation.

I think you are attributing 1) way too much success due to racial make-up and 2) way too much reliance on 15% of a team to "make-up" for the "watering down" of rest of the team.

Just curious as to the reasoning for this viewpoint. Lafayette/West Lafayette isn't that big of an area where you can sometimes argue that there is an area of a really big city that produces better/stronger/faster athletes. For the most part, there really isn't a lot of movement between the schools with regard to athletics ... save for one fairly well-known one in the area where he played Harrison ball then ended up at Jeff and then bolted further north in the state. The schools are pretty close to comparable in size. I could certainly agree with that view point if you were, for example, comparing 1A LCC to 6A Jeff or even 3A West Lafayette to 6A Jeff due to the numbers.

I'm not as familiar with the D3/NAIA ranks. If I'm not mistaken, @Irishman has pretty good knowledge in this area. You might also check in with @Lysander too as I think he has pretty good knowledge there ... or maybe it was @Impartial_Observer. @LCCAlum has pretty good knowledge on D2 too.

I'm thinking it's going to be more than Year 2 before that happens given that Kokomo dropped their sectional to McCutcheon ... although they did win the regular season matchup, but it was close. By comparison, Harrison smoked McCutcheon. Right now, NCC supremacy sits in Jeff's hands for the past four seasons with Harrison pulling up on the inside lane to challenge.

Usually it's a specialized version of Latin. If you ever convert, your wife will teach it to you ... along with the secret handshake. 😀 Lord, I apologize for that.

O'Shea went in the other direction, although still in the north part of the state, leaving 1A LCC to go to 6A North Central.

It's that Apple product. I always tell my students with Apples, when they have problems in the programming class, that if they'd get a real computer, that would solve their problems. 😀

Might be a combination or browser/platform. On Android using Chrome with Nokia, the envelope and bell appear in the upper right-hand side like it does on a desktop machine ... albeit really tiny.

I don't know if this works in all browsers on all phone or all O/S platforms, but: Go to the GID website on your mobile device Look in the upper right-hand side of the browser next to the URL/website address ... you will see three vertical dots or whatever your browser uses for settings/options Click on the three vertical dots ... down the list, there should be an option that says "Desktop site" and it has a box to the right. Click on that and the box should now have a check or x or be filled in You should then be able to see GID as it would appear on your computer. It's not perfect and it's still pretty clunky, but I think at that point, it should give you the ability to get to the notifications bell and envelope that takes you to the inbox. I think it also gives access to the sub-menus where you can get to things like Clubs, etc. Disclaimer: On my phone, I'm running Android, Chrome, and it's a Nokia.

Coach ... if they sent messages to you via GID and you got an e-mail message saying that someone had contacted you, go to GID and then click on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner and that should take you to your GID inbox with messages sent via GID. Hope that helps out.

Then why does the initial post not say anything at all about forward motion and focus specifically on the idea of a "new pick concept" and directly mention defense/defenders twice and indirectly at least once? Wouldn't a clearer post have been something like, "Penalty or not? Does the offensive player in motion turn upfield too early?" as opposed to two sentences about picks and none about forward motion?

Sounds like a defensive problem, not a foul. Plenty of ways for defense to avoid the pick without losing coverage as opposed to trying to avoid or getting picked offensively. Is this an add-on? It's not part of the original post question. I think @Bobref's call is correct. The fault in this defensive coverage, which gave the lateral advantage, is 82/32 moving up into 20's path which was clear on the first trip over. Had 82/32 not stepped up, 20 would have not had to drop back behind him to avoid the collision, thus giving the receiver lateral advantage. It's a good thing they weren't playing youth league ball because 20 would have been flagged for having that mouthpiece out.

Some of these guys are learning this stuff in the college careers ... no doubt a few aspiring theater arts majors.

Spelling the name correctly? 😀

I don't know if Harrison High School does it or not, but their youth travel baseball recently rolled out a black jersey/hat alternative with the Harrison orange writing on it that looks downright sharp. The primary jersey colors are still orange, blue, and along with white, and the traditional blue with the orange writing is still my favorite. Every once in a while they bring out the black ones and they do draw positive attention, especially when paired with the white pants.

If you take Indy out of Indiana, Indiana's not that much of a force either. Actually, per capita, Indiana ends up on the bottom rung and, surprisingly, KY jumps up. Based on Blue Chip prospects in 2020, the rankings would be: Kentucky Michigan Ohio Illinois Indiana And for general reference, Texas would be about twice the ranking of KY and about, three times the ranking of Ohio, and twelve times the ranking of Indiana. For Florida, it's even a bigger gap as Florida tops Texas per capita. Florida would be three times KY, five times Ohio, and over eighteen times IN. https://www.bannersociety.com/2020/2/4/21111828/college-football-recruits-by-state

Definitely a dangerous sport. I recall the first tournament that I went to back in the early-80s at A&M. I think there were three or four fields side-by-side with games running simultaneously. The thing that struck me were the three ambulances parked on the road adjacent to the fields. Sure enough, within five minutes of the start of the first game, the gurney came out and the lights came on one of ambulances ... and then there were two.

Defensive coordinators are a different breed. Offensive coordinators: Defensive coordinators:

Saw that in a youth football game where the coaches on the same team got in a fight with each other. It was strangest thing I've ever seen.

Usually it's football on band violence ...

Harrison and McCutcheon both were members of the Hoosier back in the late-20th century. Harrison racked up conference titles in over a third of the seasons that they were a member.

McCutcheon plays Guerin fairly close ... last three years saw McCutcheon at 1-2 with 14-7 being the score this year. Harrison lost to Roncalli 49-45 this year in a back-and-forth event.
