I know it's early, but figured why not kick things off while I am sitting here watching college bowl games and browsing the new enrollment figures that were recently released.

It'll be interesting to see what ulitmately ends up happening, but it appears that Warsaw will move into 5A for the next cycle, and because of that, I would not be surprised if Mishawaka finally decides to drop down to 4A.

The Cavemen have requested to stay in 5A for years even though they are 4A enrollment, but I believe that was mostly strategic on their part. 5A North has rarely been a juggarnaut, specifically their sectional grouping. They may go ahead and stay in 5A, but in the past when they made that decision, Warsaw, Merrillville, and Valpariaso were not all in 5A north as well. That has changed in recent years, and it is not as if Mishawaka has killed it in the 5A tournament. 

4 Sectional titles in the last 5 years, but no Regional titles in the 6-class era. Would/could the Cavemen benefit from dropping down to 4A? NorthWood, Northridge, and New Prairie (maybe) would make for (likely) difficult Sectional opponents, but they've competed just fine against both as conference foes. No school in "The Region" would/should phase Mishawaka, which could lead to more Regional Titles, and then likely facing a team like Leo, East Noble, or Dwenger in a Semi-State wouldn't scare them either.

I would not be surprised in the slightest to see Mishawaka elect to go ahead and stay in their "true" enrollment classification of 4A this next cycle and for the foreseeable future.

I'm not quite sure where you're getting your info.  Only 1 time has Mishawaka elected to "play up" into 5A.  It was when Bart was still at Mishawaka.   They've also won atleast 1 regional in the 6 class Era.  They beat Lowell in the regional and lost to Dwenger in the SS.

Is it just me or does it seem as if when IHSAA Champions Network replies to a post, they come across as confrontational, condescending or beyond reproach?  As if we should just stay in our lane, not as questions or have suggestions and we(IHSAA) are the professionals and you're not.  Idk, maybe I just read their replies wrong.

Sectional 10 would be fun to watch.

In the NLC, 5A schools Mishawaka and Concord do not have field turf.

Mishawaka doesn't have grass either.

Mishawaka 35

Concord 0

4th

Mishawaka 43

Marian 16

Final

It's a very sad day for the Mishawaka community. 

Jesus Latin Grill & Tequila Bar would be a good choice too.  Same owners as Evil Czech & Corndance Tavern.  Plus, it's maybe a mile away from Marian HS.

Mishawaka 5a 

Mishawaka plays on neither grass or turf.

In if needed.

Kind of bothering to hear a coach say "there was no way we were winning this game tonight". I agree ya you were more than likely going to get beat, what tone does that set moving forward?

I can assure you that the message, game plan and attitude going into the Valpo game from Coach Kinder and the staff was the same as it always is.   To play hard and to win the game...regardless of the opponent.   The quote you referenced, was an honest evaluation after the conclusion of the game.   We as fans want coaches to be honest and forthright but when they are, we don't like that either.  Maybe he just should've said "the better team won tonight?"
