Since when is Boone Co. not a doughnut county? It’s not a city or a typical suburban school but Webo definitely gets Indy-area coverage and is part of metropolitan Indianapolis.

Tough narrative for the anti-P/P crowd. Three consecutive state titles for a public??? Lock em up and throw away the key.

That’s why. What a game.

Why are they kicking with 11 seconds left?

Lysander’s first post really ended this discussion. The Success Factor is the most practical way of solving “competitive balance”. Bumping Park Tudor and Bishop Noll up a class because Cathedral and Chatard are good at football doesn’t make any sense. Let Cathedral and Chatard bump up (because they’re good) due to the success factor and let Noll and Park Tudor continue to try and compete in their enrollment based class.

Very, very strong possibility the best team in Ohio is Archbishop Hoban out of Akron. D2 school ranked top 10 in the country.

1600 all males will get ya into the highest class. Roncalli and Cathedral have roughly ~600

Don’t have an argument there. McCahill more than deserving and probably wins it in most years. But been around long enough to know that this award usually goes to the best skill position player on the best team and Steele wins in that category.

He’ll find a way to spin it somehow. Always does.

Of course it’s coming. Scifries success his last two years at Roncalli (15 semi-state and 16 state champions) was directly due to the SF. Cathedral was playing 2 classes up in 6A at the time and New Pal playing up a class in 5A. All three likely would have been in the same sectional.

Doubt they’ll be in 6A. Cathedral (unless they petition to play up a class) will be 5A the next 3 years and you can be sure Roncalli (likely to be bumped after next year) will be playing Cathedral in the first round of sectionals. It’s like clock-work whoever they are both in the same sectional.

Cathedral and Roncalli didn’t play in any of Scifries last 4 years as they weren’t in the same class and Dwenger and Roncalli to my knowledge haven’t played each other in the last 10 years.

I thought Dwenger was the better team than Zionsville. Killer unforced turnovers and a questionable DPI on the last drive kept the Eagles alive.

Disagree. Scifries is an all-timer but lack of creativity in the offense likely held Roncalli back several years. Power toss left and power toss right 9/10 times works if you have the hosses up front, but Roncalli has gone to a modern, spread approach on offense and you see the results. I think same can be said for Lorenzano at Chatard. Still will never get used to seeing the Trojans slinging the ball all over the field, but hey if it works....

there’s one thing Cathedral won’t do and that’s run up the score on an inferior opponent. Scored 7 2nd half points against Decatur, 14 against Whiteland, and 3 against Castle after dominating first halves.

Doesn’t have jump off the wall stats primarily because he’s either taken out after halftime or playing with a running clock, but still good numbers nonetheless. I could see cases for all 3 (and Huebler) but head tells me it is Steele’s to lose.

My concern with Westfield; can they stop Center Grove on offense? Westfield’s offense has come alive throughout the course of the season, but that really doesn’t matter against CG’s stifling defense.

I started a thread at the mid-way point of the season and thought it’d come down to these three guys: Donovan McCulley-LN Carson Steele-Center Grove Nathan McCahill-Cathrdral I will add that Roncalli’s impressive run to the state finals probably warrants some attention for Huebler. At the end of the day the award is likely going to go to the best skill position player on the best team and that’s Carson Steele. McCulley and his commitment to Indiana is probably what most want to see, but I feel he needed to lead LN to at least a sectional title.

Crazy to think how far Westfield has come since week 1. Granted, Cathedral has turned out far better than anyone could have imagined, but was very unimpressed with Westfield.

Yep. Amy Beverland is the Geist elementary school. Used to be a direct feeder to Lawrence Central until open enrollment. Williams Creek is Washington Twp and arguably the wealthiest per capita neighborhood in Marion County. Would imagine most of those kids attend private school but a lot do go through the public school system.

Welcome back sir!

Yeah totally.

Let’s double their enrollment while we’re at.

Yes.

Pick Central is LOADED with D1 talent. Flabbergasted at the result.
