You really think Merrillville will go this year? Heard they have a lot of depth this year but not as many skill players. But the have a QB that has a cannon for an arm. So it could work out. 

Won’t disagree I just hate there style of offense it’s just so boring. And the defense isn’t always great for warsaw! Didn’t they graduate most there team?

Warsaw has 35 seniors this coming school year and a lot of players coming back this year, they are loaded this year

Redskins7391 sounds like a good plan. I would think with the need for teachers #2 shouldn't be a problem.

I know we have some of the same issues here in Elkhart. Got to recruit and why his recruiting back ground should help.

the IHSAA is going to try and stop Recruiting from town to town in Sports

Is Warsaw's defense consistent enough to put together back to back games like the game vs Carroll? 

Is the starting QB a more effective passer than the backup? Or, is it he is just so much more of a threat on the ground than the backup?

he is better

Would a pursuit of Warsaw be a move the NIC would make, would Warsaw be interested?

Warsaw will not make this move

This is probably true.

From the 2020 fall count day, here were the bottom 10 of 6A (with 32 schools) and the top 10 of 5A.  The numbers are close enough, especially among the schools that had 2000-2100, that there could be some shuffling if realignment actually happens.

23	Portage	2301
24	Lawrence Central	2268
25	Zionsville	2151
26	Jeffersonville	2134
27	Columbus North	2090
28	Indianapolis Arsenal Tech	2089
29	Chesterton	2081
30	Lafayette Jefferson	2066
31	Warsaw	2059
32	Harrison (West Lafayette)	2050

 

1	Fort Wayne Northrop	2046
2	Valparaiso	2035
3	Merrillville	2022
4	Whiteland	2007
5	Goshen	1973
6	South Bend Adams	1949
7	Castle	1884
8	Floyd Central	1867
9	New Albany	1859
10	Fort Wayne Snider	1830

warsaw is 2159

we are not in a new 2 year Success - factor - window, that will take place in April or may

The more I hear about declining numbers and staff turnover at NLC schools, the more I am inclined to think that Warsaw should be looking for a new conference home for its athletic teams.  

Enrollment continues to rise at WCHS, football roster numbers climb annually under Coach Bart Curtis, and the Tigers are steadily building a competitive gap between themselves and many other conference members.

The Tigers have scheduled Ohio powerhouse Dublin Coffman and speedy Duneland Conference foe Michigan City to open the season in weeks one and two.  Then the conference season starts and Curtis is facing a schedule of games against schools much smaller than his.  How can Warsaw really prepare for a 6A sectional after playing a roster of 3A, 4A and 5A schools for 7 consecutive weeks?

I dont think they can?

We spoke to Coach Curtis in our interview series and as expected, he was complementary towards the other NLC schools and applauded the great coaching and the toughness of the conference.  Everything you would expect out of a class act like Curtis.

Bottom line, Curtis and Warsaw are doing everythinjg they can to move forward in 6A football.  Great facilities, solid numbers, excellent year round training, tough non con scheduling.  A move to The SAC and a steady diet of regular season Fort Wayne football against the likes of Snider, Homestead, Dwenger, Luers, Carroll, etc will help push this program over the top and give Curtis the opportunity to take his team all the way to Indy on TG weekend.

 

 

 

no it won't, Warsaw dose not want to be there

Sorry to see him leave.  He did alot for the program at NR.  I sincerely hope all is well with him and the family.  I posted the same letter earlier in the IFCA thread with Coach Nowlin.  Harms will have his hands full replacing him, but the school should be able to find a worthy replacement with the recently upgraded facilities that are just incredible.  (That hardly anyone was able to experience this season due to Covid)

Hey Swordfish i used to talk to you all time i went by NLC tiger fan way back when we used to talk to each other, now i go by WCHS Tiger Fan hope to get to talk to you again Cya

Seems as if they all left us suddenly, and we are left behind.  The NLC Rapture?

The NLC has been in a bit of a tailspin over the past decade.  Despite the addition of Mishawaka, the conference seems detached and distant , as if they play in their own little world.  

They once had some of the most fervent supporters on the GID.  Now their schools are rarely mentioned here anymore.  Goshen, Plymouth, Concord, etc, is there  anybody out there?  Is there anyone at home?

Reminds me of the scene in Terminator Judgement Day, when John Connor and Kate Brewster make it down into the nuclear fallout bunker, and the place is deserted, and has been for 30 years.  Thats the NLC.

Fortunately, the fertile lands between Plymouth to the west and Warsaw on the east are still there and thriving, and havent succombed to the devastation of a thermonuclear attack.  

Perhaps a few will come out of their bunkers and breathe new life into the moribund NLC.

we are still around so don't  worry

Now correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't Illinois Michigan and Ohio do their tournaments that way? Indiana use to be that way back in the 1970s.

we don't want it here in Indiana

It will NEVER happen. The number of schools in Indiana allow for all-in tournaments in EVERY sport. That's the way the IHSAA & most member schools like it.

High school sports are for the student athletes. They work very hard & deserve an opportunity in these tournaments.

If it was only winning records make the tournament, you would see many schools trying to schedule easy wins to start the season. Then it really would turn into a cluster fudge. 

you are right
