Coach Hanson

Andrean would best both these teams based on last year and what happened in offseason. Western Boone and eastbrook are also favorites over these two

Lawrenceburg vs Gibson southern semi state?

Best hire by Noblesville in the last 20 years and I think portage turns the program around starting this year. Great conversation starter DT, much better than the contraction conversations 😉

It was a tough group and I think there are about 20 groups that could argue for their spot amongst history in the last 100 years. I love the debate here but I think it’s too broad to come up with 1 best team

Definitely fair

Yeah the 88 team might have them beat.

Sheridan had a couple in 1A in 1998 and then 2005-2007, Bishop Luers had many as well.

Math makes everything interesting

Your logic as far as a spectator makes sense but I still really think that every school should should deserve the opportunity to compete no matter what their talent is. Imagine a school that is 0-9 that has 1 division 1 athlete and 1 d3 athlete coming up, they could easily be 3-6 the next season or a 4-5 team. I enjoy the conversation but there is always going to be someone on the bottom.

This could definitely push more kids to individual sports such as wrestling but I still think that it won’t dramatically change football numbers.

All politics aside, I do not think that the coronavirus will speed up contraction (At least I hope). I think all schools are negatively being impacted and I saw a post on Twitter about this football season will be where we really see who is committed to being a champion and doing the right thing when NO ONE is watching. I certainly feel for the Seniors now and the juniors (future seniors next year) have a tough task ahead.

Thanks guys! It worked.

Can coaches that took this year off but plan to coach next year sign up? When signing up, it has a box that asks for how many assistant coaches I want to add, when I am not a head coach. It does not give me to option to select “0”. Thanks for any help!

Young guy here but honest question, can a team join a conference (MIC) in one sport but stay in another conference in other sports? I know New Pal has a good softball team but this post is mainly for them and chatard

If this is true then I would take my prediction back and say that Preston Terrell would be my new front runner.

Not sure what all Homestead is bringing back but I would guess that Luke Goode will be a top candidate next year.

Noblesville has not had a football season where they have finished above .500 in the last 15 years. I like the Sharpe hiring because he is willing to change things up (whether he is successful or not will not be known until next year). I think that it is ridiculous to criticize what Sharpe will bring to Noblesville, when nothing has worked in a long time. Hopefully he can finally establish a football culture there without politics getting in the way.

Slightly below

I also think Cathedral also could have won 6A this year. I think them, Carmel, and Center Grove are all pretty even.

It will be interesting. It is almost expected that new pal’s lines on both sides of the ball will be top notch because of the strenuous strength and conditioning program that Ralph has. I will be curious to see what Roth and his younger receivers have in store next year. Good luck to your son at Toledo and I look forward to seeing what King does at Michigan state. I know Spegal was great but everyone knows that New Pal was a force even before he transferred there.

Do not get me wrong, I do respect talent. However, I also respect investment and dedication, and right now New Pal can not be beat when it comes to dedication. I look forward to seeing what happens next year, but right now New Pal has the throne and has a lot of pressure for next year because they are losing 6-7 key players that I am not sure if they can be replaced.

I get that this website is to debate, ponder what if’s, etc. However, New Pal has been the best team in the state ( no matter the class) for the last 2 years and idk how you can debate. Warren central was great with bell and I would have paid good money to see warren central play new pal last year but I still give new pal the edge. This year, I honestly think Valpo gave them their biggest challenge because of that amazing defensive line. New Pals defense is too disciplined and too good to get beat. They can stop the pass with hook, large, and luker and their rushing attack is just exhausting (coming from a coach that has scouted them for 3 of the last 4 years). If you think New Pal’s play style is not interesting or you don’t like them for some other reason, then fine. But you can not say that they are not the pound for pound best team until someone in 5A or a 6A opponent in regular season beats them. Valparaiso would have won 6A in my honest opinion.

I agree! I think 4A could be a close game too.

Western Boone has to be one of those 3 or 4 teams that have improved as well as Center Grove being able to make up 19 points with just one player 😂

I am very upset for my own selfish purposes. I thought this game would be a nail biter and it is an absolute blow out. Western Boone is putting an end to last year’s controversy (I still thought they were better last year). Time to get ready for 4A title game.
