Carmel and a Westfield kid? I had no idea Sheridan got those kind of transfers.

This sounds pretty amazing but might be quite the dream lol. We should be better though this year I think. I know we have a huge freshman class coming in that did very well as 8th graders in the NE8. I do get frustrated when I drive downtown and see all the AC yard signs. I would be curious to know how many students in Bellmont's district attend AC.

What do Sheridan and Monroe Central return? That was a great sectional championship game last season.

AC will be the team to beat until dethroned. 3 straight crowns and 6 of the last 8. I think it could be a 4 (even 5 depending who Woodlan hires) horse race behind them. SW is getting better but will still be at the bottom I believe. I have said it before but I wish there was more of a push for Bellmont to join the ACAC. I understand the hesitation with our very strong wrestling and volleyball programs but those programs could still play weekend tournaments to prepare them for the postseason.

NE8: East Noble Leo Columbia City Dekalb Norwell New Haven Bellmont H North

Good chance Lutheran and AC would be the 2A State Title game as well this year.

AC 42 Carroll 0 Bluffton 34 Luers 21 Leo 42 Mississinewa 10 Snider 31 Mishawaka 17

I still did the all-in format and used Harrell Rankings. 3A would have had some great games instead of Chatard bouncing #3 and #2 seeds the first 2 rounds. I also bolded the teams still playing this year with our blind draw. 4A- 16 Frankfort at 1 East Noble 9 Columbia City at 8 Dekalb 13 Marion at 4 New Haven 12 Jay Co at 5 FW Dwenger 15 H North at 2 Leo 10 Angola at 7 FW Wayne 14 FW South at 3 Mississinewa 11 Western at 6 Kokomo 3A- 16 Bellmont at 1 Indy Chatard 9 Maconaquah at 8 Heritage 13 FW Concordia at 4 Hamilton Heights 12 Norwell at 5 Delta 15 Northwestern at 2 Guerin Catholic 10 Garrett at 7 Yorktown 14 Woodlan at 3 Tippy Valley 11 Oak Hill at 6 Peru 2A- 16 Elwood at 1 Bluffton 9 Tipton at 8 Busco 13 P Heights at 4 Eastern Greentown 12 Wabash at 5 Eastside 15 Whitko at 2 FW Luers 10 Manchester at 7 Frankton 14 Blackford at 3 Alexandria 11 Central Noble at 6 Eastbrook 1A- 16 Southern Wells at 1 Adams Central 9 Northfield at 8 Caston 13 Fremont at 4 South Adams 12 Tri County at 5 North White 15 Frontier at 2 Carroll 10 Tri Central at 7 Southwood 14 Taylor at 3 Madison Grant 11 North Miami at 6 West Central

AC will win by 4-5 TDs easily. I think the Jets could win the CIC this year. ACAC is arguably a tougher conference than the CIC this year and the Jets walked through it.

Shaking it up. I think both AC and Lutheran could win 2A.

They already share a sectional (Southwood and Fremont)

SAC BIG: Homestead, Carroll, Snider, Northrop, North SAC SMALL: Dwenger, South, Wayne, BL, Concordia NEIC BIG: Angola, Leo, East Noble, Columbia City, H North, Dekalb, New Haven NEIC SMALL: Norwell, Bellmont, AC, SA, Bluffton, Heritage, Woodlan NECC: West Noble, Central Noble, Garrett, Eastside, Busco, Fairfield, Lakeland Name TBD: P Heights, Blackhawk, Fremont, SWells, Wabash, Northfield, Southwood

4 teams from Northeast Indiana! 6A: HSE vs Center Grove 5A: Snider vs Bloomington South 4A: New Haven vs EC 3A: Chatard vs Heritage Hills 2A: Bluffton vs TC 1A: AC vs Lutheran

My predicted order of finish: 1. Leo 2. Columbia City 3. East Noble 4. New Haven 5. Norwell 6. Dekalb 7. Bellmont 8. HN

1. AC 2. Bluffton 3. Heritage 4. Woodlan 5. SA 6. Jay Co 7. SW

I would love to see Bellmont join the ACAC. We would instantly add a couple wins if not more in football and could build off of that success to get more players out. We would also instantly compete for a conference title in boys basketball, baseball, and softball. We would be the clear favorite in wrestling and volleyball are could still schedule plenty of out of quality conference opponents in those sports to prepare us for the postseason.

Some of these comments are funny. AC by 3-4 TDs. I will come back to this comment Friday night.
