Gipper

You, sir, have won the internet… BTW, Lowell could surprise.

The NWCC is a weird one—half are good to decent with the other half abysmal.

☹️

Bombs away…

They’re up north,

I could never be a coach as my first down call would be an end around, long bomb on second, tush push on third, and fumblerooski on fourth. On defense, all I would do is blitz…

Sports is a great unifier. Lessons learned back in the day are still applied today such the fumble, reverse, long bomb, and safety blitz. Lest we never forget interception, block, and touchdown.

Yeah, but from different parts of the state to mix it up: Plymouth/Jennings County Vincennes/Winchester Tri-County/Milan Highland/Seymour South Bend Adams/Terre Haute North

This thread was all in jest, but thank you for your contributions. I think if most countries, especially in bigger communities such as Lafayette and Bloomington, would be a logistical nightmare…

Could work. Being that I’m in Region, some interstate games I would like to see include: Crown Point vs. Hinsdale South Munster vs. Lake Forest Merrillville vs. Stevenson Lowell vs. Lincol-Way Central Hobart vs. Crete-Monee Gary West vs. Westinghouse

I know they both don’t have football programs, but what about Jac-Cen-Del vs. Wes-Del?

Although it’s not a mega-school game, I would like to see Pioneer take on Kiel (WI).

Clinton Prairie vs. New Prairie Owen Valley vs. Owensboro (KY) Martinsville vs. Martinsville (VA) Washington vs. Port Washington (WI) Heritage Hills vs. American Heritage (FL) Greenwood vs. Greenbow, AL (Forrest Gump’s Alma Mater) Another soccer match: Munster vs. Munster, Germany (my ancestral home)

Ironwood (MI) Red Devils—not Satanic but honoring the iron miners in the Western Upper Peninsula East Central vs. South Central Homestead vs. Homestead (WI) Tell City Archers—a nod to William for all of you literature fans Adams Central vs. South Bend Adams Hoopeston (IL) Cornjerkers—yes, a lot of corn is grown in that area (duh) Attica Red Ramblers—Attica is a city in Greece and prison in New York (not a car) Penn vs. Princeton—two Ivy League universities Benton Central vs. Bentonville (AR) Rugby match: Hobart vs. Hobart, Australia

River Forest vs. Lake Forest (IL) Pike vs. Pike County (KY) Lebanon vs. Lebanon (OH) Boone Grove vs. Boone County (KY) South Newton vs. Newton South (MA)

Warren Central vs Warren East (KY) Evansville Harrison vs. WL Harrison Tri-Central vs. Tri-County New Palestine vs. Zionsville Park Tudor vs. Parke Heritage Center Grove vs. Centerville Kankakee Valley vs. Kankakee (IL) Lake Station vs. Lakeland Soccer Match Valparaiso vs. Valparaiso (Chile)

Central Catholic vs. Bloomington (IL) Central Catholic Triton vs. Triton Central (West Lafayette) Harrison vs. (Cambridge City) Lincoln—The President’s Cup Maconaquah vs. Mississinewa—Teepee Classic Blackford vs. Whiteland Indiana Blind vs. Indiana Deaf (too heartless?) Angola vs. Peru

Conversely, I would love to see Edwardsburg (MI) take on Jimtown—the Eddies vs. the Jimmies…

It seems many of our teams cross state lines for a game, here are some I’d like to see: Carmel vs. New Trier (IL)—two of Indiana’s of Illinois’ wealthier suburbs (although Wilmette and Winnetka) send their kids to NT. Cathedral vs. Bishop O’Gorman (NV)—would the best Catholic school emerge? Bloomington South vs Lexington Henry Clay—two stalwarts from classic college towns (undercard: West Lafayette vs. Ann Arbor Pioneer {MI}) Twin Lakes vs. Sarasota (FL)—what team spends more time at the beach or running drills)? Elkhart vs. Huntsville Grissom (AL)—the RV Capital of the World going up against Rocket City, USA. There you go. Add more if you want or maybe just say “Gipper, you’re obviously bored)…”

I’m fully aware there are 3 different corporations, but I don’t think it would ever come to fruition. In fact, I wish the Hautians a lot of luck…

As I said medium-sized locales, not the behemoth Ft. Wayne/Allen County is😉

What if many of our medium to kind of big cities take a page out of Terre Haute’s playbook and merge? Let’s take a gander: In Lafayette (Tippecanoe County), we’d have a combo of Jeff, Harrison, McCutcheon, and West Lafayette would be the squad as CC would invoke separation of church and state and stand on its own. Muncie (Delaware County) could we a little more formidable. Although Central gobbled up the Southside Rebels years ago, Delta, Lapel, and Yorktown would be good benefits to a hapless Bearcat squad. Kokomo (Howard County)—I like this one as Eastern, Northwestern, Taylor, and Western join their big city compatriots. Columbus (Bartholew County)—North and East: what could possibly go wrong? Bloomington (Monroe County)—combing North, South, and Edgewood is not enough as they’ll be invading both Martinsville and Bedford (and maybe Seymour) to attain football dominance in the 812. Lastly we have Frankfort (Clinton County) who improved a little bit by adding Central and Prairie. Additionally, Maconaquah, after getting spurned by Kokomo, goes covert and joins the Hot Dogs.

But that’s why they play the game…

A little shocked myself. But Lowell does have a great feeder system and the facilities improvements have been next level,

Although I know very little about Carroll, CP is a very tough out as they have been steamrolling everybody this season. I’m glad to see Buzea has brought another winner to the 219. McKim at Lowell (who was somehow overlooked in this popularity contest) as well…
