Saturday semi-states at neutral sites.

I have never understood why it is not allowed in Indiana. Almost all other states have coop schools in their lower divisions. But then again, there are several things other states do that would benefit our schools here, but, after all, it is the IHSAA which is against any change in any form. Sometimes I wonder if they even look at what other states are doing to see if something that works would benefit us. But again, this is Indiana where progress is a dirty word.

The good ol' Herbie Classic. Saw some great games and players during its short run in Cincinnati. Concord De La Salle played there one year but not against an Indiana team.

So much for the 'success factor" LOL

Archbishop Hoban (13-2) last season with losses to Lakewood St. Ed and Toledo Central Catholic in the Division II State final game. Wins over Cleveland St. Ignatius, Erie (PA) Cathedral Prep, Massillon Washington, and Hudson. Linton will look strange on their schedule this season.

It is my understanding that there will be no Freedom Bowl in Canton this year. It's a shame because we went last year and really enjoyed the games.

Last season they played Oakdale (CT) St. Thomas More and Middletown (DE). They also played West Toronto Prep, but since they were ahead 96-0 at half, the game was called.

Here is that post: IMG is not independent. They are full members of FHSAA. They just have a deal where they aren't allowed to play in the state tournament, but they do have to follow FHSAA rules in terms of player eligibility (practice time, age of player, years eligible to play etc) The National team competes as an independent, but they have to follow FHSAA rules pertaining to high school player eligibility.

I thought that was the case as well, but a poster on another site informed me that they are a member in good standing, but do not play in the state tournament. Apparently they have some sort of understanding with the state association that allows them an exemption for OOS games with the understanding that they will not play in the state tournament. I had also heard that St. Frances Academy of Baltimore was trying to get a game with Ben Davis.

Seems to me I attended a St. Edward-Cathedral game at Indy Tech high school several years ago. IMO we still need to lift the 300-mile ban on our teams travel.

I was hoping the game was part of the Freedom Bowl series but heard from the promoter that the Midwest event will not happen this year. Apparently, the game is a regular season match-up. Hopefully it is a home and home contract which would allow me to see Massillon play and eat at the Chubby Trout next season.

Hopefully more programs will take advantage of the new travel rules and schedule some compelling OOS games.

In 2013, Pike finished the season ranked 97th in the country.

They have never been ranked in a national Top 100.

Each year I compile a “Dynasty Ranking” for the national sites that I post on. The Dynasty Rankings are a compilation of my Top 100 polls since 2008. Points are earned by finishing in the final poll each season. A school is awarded 25 points for finishing in the Top 100 of a year-end poll. In addition, each school in the poll also receives points based on their finish in the poll. For instance, a school ranked at the top of the poll receives 125 points while the team that finishes ranked 100th receives 26 points. There are currently 561 teams in the 2023 Dynasty Rankings. Texas leads with 61 teams, followed by Florida with 54 teams, California with 48 teams, Georgia with 37 teams and Ohio with 28 teams. Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Rhode Island do not have any teams in the poll. Concord (CA) De La Salle was the top ranked team at the end of the 2023 season. De La Salle has led the poll since 2012. Ramsay (NJ) Don Bosco Prep led in years 2010-2011, with Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas leading after the initial poll in 2008, while Austin (TX) Lake Travis led in 2009. A note of caution to De La Salle, at the end of 2019 they led the poll for the top spot by 211 points. However, due to earning just 52 points in the last two years, their lead has slipped to just 23 points over Las Vegas (NV) Bishop Gorman. For this site, I have decided to post the Top 25 (Dynasty Rankings) from the end of last season, a brief statistical summary of the state of Indiana and a list of the teams in the poll from Indiana. If you would like to see a complete list, PM me and I will send you a copy. INDIANA – Schools that have been ranked in the poll since 2008 – 11 Highest ranked team since 2008 – Indianapolis Warren Central #37 (2018) Teams in the Top 100 – 3 (#53 Indianapolis Warren Central, #57 Greenwood Center Grove, #93 Indianapolis Ben Davis) School trending up – Greenwood Center Grove.

Last year's Texas Class 6A- Division I title game had almost 60,000 in attendance which was greater than all but seven major college bowl games.
