Yo... They're a 4A enrollment school. You can use whatever rationale you need to tell yourself otherwise but they would still be playing in 4A if the SF didn't exist. 5A has been dominated by 4A enrollment schools since the SF. That is fact. This year was the first time in 5 tournaments that a true 5A enrollment school won the 5A championship. 5A became a watered down division when the large class split in two and it's been dominated by non-5a enrollment schools ever since. There really isn't a counter-argument to be made.

LOL...4A enrollment schools running away with state titles (New Pal and Cathedral) is the exact reason WHY 5A is watered down. Before 6A was formed, there were 3-4 schools who dominated the large class. When those schools moved to 6A there was hardly any separation between the top schools in 4A and the top schools in 5A. 7/10 5A title winners since 6A was formed have been schools with 4A enrollment. They didn't miss a beat in 5A after being bumped up. It's not meant to be a dig at the current 5A schools, it's just the reality of the situation. If you made 1A the smallest 32 schools and bumped up the top 32 schools in 4A to make 5A a 64 team class, the outlook on 5A would be completely different than it is today.

5A was always going to be the watered down class when they formed 6A. Since the Success Factor was implemented, 5A has been dominated by 4A enrollment schools taking their turns at title runs. Another poster had it right, make 6A the top 32 enrollment schools and 1A the smallest 32 enrollment schools and 5A would look like a much better product top to bottom.

When a kicker has a better chance at winning Mr. Football over someone like Hansen or Tibbs it might be time to start re-thinking the award. Personally, I think the award should be open to all grades, not limited to seniors. I also don't have a problem recognizing the best player in each class either.

It matters, substantially. He’s ineligible for Mr. Football now. Everyone on this board knows that Drayk Bowen is going to win Mr. Football and everyone knows the selection process is going to factor in both his offensive and defensive prowess into the equation.

I dislike Roncalli's football program as much as the next guy, but pretty egregious for him not to win this award. With Wheat going down and Coyle picking up the slack on top of Thomeson running for an additional 1000 yards, think it might be safe to say it's Center Grove who can afford to pick and plug whomever they want into the lineup. And that isn't a knock on Coyle either, just a testament to how stacked Center Grove is. Also Walker over Tibbs? Unless MaxPreps is wrong, Tibbs had almost double the catches, more yards, and more TD's.

Would caution about categorizing Cathedral as a basketball powerhouse. They've always had "good teams" over the years but only one team a year gets out of sectional with LN, LC, Warren, North Central, Tech, and Attucks. Cathedral has the #1 recruit in the country right now which obviously would make any team a state title contender. Before last year, Cathedral had lost every opening round sectional game since Delaney was hired.

I got Temp and I's donation for this year

Cathedral won 6A regional so will stay in 6A through 2025

Already I told you I regretted it 4 weeks ago…. PM me

I think at this point you just have to trust that it doesn’t matter who comes and goes. CG simply reloads, not rebuilds.

Imagine bragging about not having to pay to attend a high school event….because you’re working it? How tone deaf can one be? And I’ll assure you that nobody paying to attend such an event is there to see you no matter how much you want to make it about yourself.

I watched the game on TV tonight just like you did skip! You aren’t that special.

So you’re a sh**y referee and even worse speller. Thanks for clarifying.

Another official who likes to make it all about himself and probably the reason this thread gets locked. Good job, Zebra!

Now I understand why you weren’t invited back

I’m not an official and it looks like you and I have the same assignment this weekend… Log off.

Oh the horror for suggesting that the coaching staff of a player who has committed two personal fouls for late hits out of bounds in about 6 minutes of game time sit out for a series or two to regain his composure. Forgive me God.

Lol. Winning the Eskew Award is irrelevant to the fact that two dumb…and reckless penalties were committed. Coaches don’t sit kids who make repeated mistakes? Does making a mistake on a football field automatically disqualify you from being a high character person? Have I suggested any of this at all? You’re reaching.

I didn’t stutter. The application to the rules and a coach exercising his judgement to sit an out of control player for a period of time aren’t mutually exclusive.

I never called for the player to be ejected jack**. I said he should be standing on the sidelines for a series or two to calm down. Learn to damned read.

Wrong verbiage but my point stands as you and I both know what would happen if a player committed two dumb and reckless penalties like that. Done talking about it as this isn’t the place. Congrats to CG on their 3-peat.

And?

He didn’t stand over the player and taunt him?

Taunting isn’t unsporting behavior? Why am I even listening to you?
