AGREE with this.

I would think that it would. You'd have parents "moving" to the district to be coached by Saban...I mean switching jobs and ending up at Tech or having to help grandma or Aunt Matilda.

This is an interesting discussion. The issue isn't numbers to me, it's success. There is no success factor that can graduate the megas out of a class, so I would advocate some sort of "equality matrix" or something that would move down teams in classes that have enrollment but do not have football success. I'd do that, and I'd seed 6A 1-32. Forget the Sectional/Regional/Semi-State model. None of this will happen though.

So what happens when the same schools dominate 7A? Do you just throw BD, WC, CG, and Carmel in 8A?

Very true.

BD has several traditional "shop" classes, but most if not all are part of the Area 31 Career Programs. As far as FACS (Family and Consumer Sciences), many of those have been adopted into the Area 31 Career Programs as parts of specific programs (and business classes for personal finance classes, etc) again as they are not required courses any longer at the high school level to my knowledge.

Cathedral has long marketed itself as a college prep school in a Catholic tradition. That's what I meant. Am I incorrect? If I am, then I will gladly say so.

These things cost money. Referenda have been focused on classroom expenses recently rather than capital projects. Pretty certain BD's stadium updates a few years back were part of the construction of the Chapel Hill Center.

They built that building around the old building that housed the scoreboard and then didn't move the scoreboard forward. Remarkably, the only MIC school without an elevator now is Carmel.

Best: Any of the MIC stadiums. Usually very user-friendly especially since the Lawrences upgraded. Worst: Fishers. Nothing against the stadium, but the amenities are very outdated. Unique: St. X. I about died climbing to the top of the home side. Pretty cool stadium. Really like Southport Cardinal Stadium or whatever car dealership is sponsoring it now.

My point was that the Catholic schools such as Ritter, Guerin, Roncalli, Central Catholic, Chatard, Scecina, etc. tend to be connected to parishes within a certain diocese of the church. Covenant would not be part of the Catholic system. It's a private Christian school more like a Heritage Christian. Cathedral is a prep school and Brebeuf is a Jesuit school. If I'm wrong on this or seem ignorant, I will gladly take the L. . Covenant wouldn't take students from Ritter normally because it's not another Catholic school. From what I'm hearing on this board, Ritter's been losing students to other Catholic schools.

Correct.

Covenant is not a Catholic school.

What a mess!

Welcome to the Westside! Good luck Coach!

Thanks. It's sad to say it, but I think it's true.

Since we're in a teacher shortage, I'd say that it's not silly to say that it carries over to the coaching side.

I completely agree with you. For the level of football, it's perfect.

Noble idea. I don't want a game coming down to a judgement call if at all possible, though.

You nailed my top two in 1 and 2. I also would liked to see uncatchable be in the definition in high school.

You always gotta stick the knife in don't cha. Feel better about yourself?

Nice piece on Coach Dullaghan and what he's up to these days. Sounds like a lot of green fairways.
