I think I have it fixed, possibly, but you never know what way the IHSAA will split it all for classes in 4a-1a

 

Memorial is still up in 4A due to SF, correct?

The Clown tired to tell you all on 11-13!.

The Trojans are the real deal and yes they beat Daddy Ralphie

The only who may be shocked is Little Ralphie, or Blue Dragon to some in the EIAC.

Don't worry though Puff The Magic Blue Dragon's Ralphie

Has been quoted as saying, "dumbest defense ever by EC and I can exploit it once I get some athletes!"

 

This is absurd. I will not speak for Coach Wes but I know that the Greensburg staff has the upmost respect for east central and their coaching staff. Happy for them and their coaches as they are likely headed to another state championship.

My Picks - Jerry Brewer, Bud Wright, Bob Gaddis, Dick Dullaghan

For FC Losing Qb1 week 1, Rb1,2,3 2 wide receivers another wide receiver coming back from broken back and sepsis last year to car wreck this summer have taken alot from this team. Have never seen a team so Injury plagued ever. Alot of sophomores getting alot of varsity time which hopefully leads to something better next year.

LOL

Being a newcomer to this conference, this has to be one of the most hilarious conference threads every week. Well done everyone.

I'd rather play on a nice grass surface any day over turf...

As would I, however, I would say in my entire career (HS/College) I played on 1 properly maintained grass field. I had 3 injuries directly related to field conditions on grass and never had an issue on turf. In the instance of the NFL with the resources to properly maintain a grass playing surface they should do so, but don't think that's scalable for high schools. 

Here you go @Muda69

A study completed in 2011 found that there is no scientific evidence to support concern that the turf is harboring the bacteria that causes MRSA. Serensits TJ, McNitt AS, Peterunak DM. Human health issues on synthetic turf in the USA. J Sports Eng. & Tech. 2011;225(Part P). DOI:10.1177/1754337111398407.

Furthermore, a study completed in 2004 found that while turf burn may open up the skin for infection, the bacteria was actually being transmitted in the locker room. Begier et al. 2004. A High-Morbidity Outbreak of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus among Players on a College Football Team, Facilitated by Cosmetic Body Shaving and Turf Burns. Clin Inf Dis. 2004;39:1446-53.

If you need more studies which reinforce the above here is some light reading for you:

Not to hijack the thread but if I remember correctly approximately 80% of the population are carriers of MRSA……and it should be pointed out that we’ll all probably die from something sooner or later. 

And it appears some of us will choose to die on certain hills no matter what.

Quite the double entendre in the title.

With the meeting's minute notes stating "Point totals from 2020-21 and the current school year will be used to determine Tournament Success Factor movement." I believe this is what that file would/will look like for at least 5A and 4A:

Where it's going to get tricky is for Chatard, Western Boone, and Lafayette Central Catholic. All three of those schools were bumped up THIS season for their Success Factor Points from the 2019-20 and 2020-2021 seasons. But if the IHSAA is going to use 2020-21 and 2021-22 Success Factor Points to determine what schools get bumped up this time... will those 3 schools points be from two different classes? 

Neither Chatard (4A) or Western Boone (3A) won their sectional this past season, and LCC (2A) won a sectional worth 1 point. I am thinking all three of those teams will get sent down to their previous class, unless they stay due to enrollment (which could be close for Western Boone).

Here is what I think the rest of the classes will look like:

 

 

Forgot about Dwenger. Good stuff.

First time in a while 5a will have no success factor teams. New Pal will move down to 4a and Cathedral up to 6a. Cathedral moving up means Harrison will be the first team in 5a and Greenfield will bump down to 4a. 

Pretty cool to have two first timers in the championship. Go Raiders 😏

New Pal going PPV

New Pal - (Marvin) Shepler Field at (Robert) Kelso Stadium. Kelso being a former princpal and Shepler being the HOF coach that coached from 68-01.

Merrillville drops to 5A if we cut 6A to 24 schools

Merrillville is dripping to 5a with 32 schools because they have the 36th highest enrollment.

Cathedral would still be in the south semi-state if they are in that sectional with McCutcheon, Kokomo, and Anderson.

Well aware. I never said either team would go to the North semi-state this classification, rather that in 2017-2018, New Pal did go North.  My point being that New Pal has historically gone to the more northern sectional while Cathedral has gone south. 

8 hours ago, PhilLee said:

Cathedral is farther north then New Pal.  And those 3 northern school don't need to pass Cathedral on the way to play New Pal.

 

Here is a more realistic look at 5A South (and Kokomo, McCutcheon and Anderson have to come south):

13- Cathedral, Anderson, McCutcheon and Kokomo

14- Decatur Central, Plainfield, Bloomington North, Bloomington South

15- Whiteland, Columbus East, Franklin, New Palestine

16- Castle, New Albany, Floyd Central and Seymour

 

9- Michigan City, LaPorte, Valparaiso and Merrilville

10- SB Adams, Concord, 

10- 

I don't think Cathedral will go North. I base that off the 2017-2018 classification when Cathedral went South and New Pal even went to the north semistate. Cathedral has been in Decatur Central's sectional for the last 4 years and I don't see the ISHAA changing all that. 

This season was tough, for a variety of reasons, but it was certainly tough. The overall cathartic moment we had coming from behind to beat Franklin first round of sectional play is something I will never forget. We were down 27-3 late in the 3rd and found a way to win. It wasn't the best win this program has ever had nor will it be the one everyone ever talks about, but seeing our seniors literally cry tears of joy/relief at the end of that game is most certainly the highlight of this season for me. 

My best guess for 5a. 

9: Merrillville, Munster, Hammond Morton, Hammond Central

10: Michigan City, LaPorte, South Bend Adams, Valparaiso

11: Huntington North, Goshen, Concord, Mishawaka

12: FW Northrop, FW North Side, FW Bishop Dwenger, FW Snider

13: New Palestine, Kokomo, McCutcheon, Anderson

14: Whiteland, Decatur Central, Indpls. Cathedral, Plainfield

15: Bloomington South, Bloomington North, Columbus East, Franklin

16: New Albany, Floyd Central, Castle, Seymour
