  1. It's absolutely true. The problem is that you can't compare Center Grove to Adams Central. The chances of a program from 1A-3A being recognized as the best is somewhere around 500,000 to 1. They just don't have the resources in an unfair playing field, hence having classes. If a school wants recognition as being the best team in the state, the only way to do that is to voluntarily bump up to 6A. In the meantime, any claims coming from 4A and 5A is just pretend.
  2. True, but you'd have to put an asterisk next to the 6A champion stating.........*We're only the best because of the unfair amount of resources we have compared to our smaller competitors.
  3. It's just a matter of time. I'll say 2-4 years.
  4. I'm all in for a second high school. More opportunities for kids. Think about it, double the number of kids playing in all athletics. I think these large mega schools are a disservice to the community.
  5. When it comes to athletics, we all know that it's not "all about the kids" in most cases (yes, there are outliers). It's all about the egos. Anyone who thinks differently is just kidding themselves.
  6. Which sport will they win 20+ state championships in a row? Carmel lays claim to swimming.
  7. Another spoiler alert. Even worse, some people get paid a lot more to throw a ball in a little hoop.
  8. Do athletic revenues justify these salaries or is it more of a tax burden? And I don't mean "burden" in a bad way. I don't think you can put a price tag on the development of young people.
  9. I think I found my answer in what constitutes a Top 5 job. That excludes any team from FWCS being in the Top 100.
  10. Could very well be. We'd all be naive to think that a head coach is a one man show in any sport. I guess we'll know the answer in a few years. I could name a few programs (but I don't care to) who had great coaches leave the program, but the next man up didn't maintain the same level of play. For now, I'll just stick to "kudos to Coach Gilbert for building one of the top 'pound for pound' programs in the state." And "good luck to the new coach."
  11. I don't think you're a hater of schools outside of Indy. I think you genuinely welcome the outside competition as a fan. I don't see Carroll getting bored anytime soon. Schools like Snider, Homestead, and Dwenger (the Saints won't be down forever) fill three pretty good slots. Add two Indy schools, the remaining four games will be a combination of "rest" games (Northrop) and the occasional barn burner (Luers, North Side, Wayne, or Concordia). I honestly think Carroll is in a near perfect situation. I would agree that Westfield's conference separates them from many of the others I mentioned. I didn't think of that.
  12. Not sure what you're getting at, I don't recall saying leaving Westfield for Wabash was a lateral move. What am I missing?
  13. Your #4 gave me the answer I was looking for.
  14. I think that speaks volumes about their coach, but he's no longer there. What makes Westfield a Top 5 job for the new coach? Are you speaking of culture? Carroll (Fort Wayne) for instance. Great facilities, great community, growing community. I have no clue about their pay structure, although I'm sure it's better than FWCS. I'm presuming Westfield boasts those things as well. Maybe the position is well compensated?
  15. What separates Westfield from Carroll, Homestead, Fishers, Carmel, HSE, Zionsville, Brownsburg, Center Grove, Avon, Penn, Ben Davis, etc? Legitimate question. I'm counting 10-15 schools that are right up there. What makes them Top 5?
