Wrong. Peebles was the coach in 2018 when the decision was made to go down to 4A. Only a rule change kept them in 5A for 2019 and 2020.

#1 You just listed 4 schools in 5A that have never won a 5A state championship. And that statement makes sense to you? #2 I actually agree. Cathedral should permanently be in 6A. They play a 6A schedule. Makes no sense to slum it in the tournament. With the win last night, they are assured of remaining in 5A in the next cycle. Even with a likely state championship, they cannot move to 6A.

Seriously? Two years ago they were willing to move down to 4A until the IHSAA revised the points in the Tournament Success Factor. They aren't petitioning anyone.

Whiteland's offense can only take you so far. If you have the dudes, you can shut them down. Especially when they are so limited in the passing game. New Palestine was able to do it last year. Cathedral this year. Play solid assignment football, read your keys, make tackles.

so wrong all the time

welp, like I said, kiss of death...lol

sorry Whiteland...kiss of death name your wager DT

blowout city...only so far you can go with that offense

All I see is that they were the 62nd largest enrollment in 19-20. Which would make them 5A. Have numbers for 20-21 head count been released yet?

I thought East was 5A by enrollment? They will be heading back down next year.

Unfortunately this week went like I expected. Great group of seniors that had incredible careers including back to back state championships. Fun kids to watch. Congrats to Whiteland.

After trailing 27-3, the Dragons mounted a furious comeback, scoring 28 unanswered points, including 14 posts in the last 93 seconds, to win 31-27 vs Franklin. They started 3 sophomores on the OL and a freshman RB. If you wanna learn how to play football the right way, come to New Palestine. You will have to play above your punching weight. Dragons are a tough out.

oh yes...I remember you might tell DT that NP had 3 sophomores on the OL tonight and a freshman RB...

Dragons score 14 points in the final 93 seconds. What a comeback.

methinks the GID twitter account has been hacked 😬

ur dum

so I just saw that CG held Jordan to 2 catches for -1 yard and 1 rush for -1 yard. also Wooten held to without a catch? wow

Only dark horse I can think of in 5A is Valpo. I don’t think anyone knows how good they are based on 5 game sample size.

actually I think that was the first drive where they settled for the made FG. Up 10-7 inside the 7 yard line, they ran inside zone, outside zone opposite the jet motion, and then the QB pulled the ball on third down and then missed the FG has punting been an issue all year?

Kyle Neddenriep did an awesome job covering this game on twitter. I was watching his updates while at the Delta vs NP game. We had quite the discussion when the 4th down call came up...punt to CG with no timeouts or go for it. That's a tough one. Touchback is most likely, you are just trying to get the ball out of there, right? So you're looking at losing 25 yards of field position or go for the win? Gutsy call, and you are 100% right, Coach Ralph would have gone for it. You have a play you like and it doesn't work out. You trusted the offense to get the job done. And you handed the ball off to your best playmaker...he gets the first down...game over. You punt the ball, and CG still may drive the field and score. That's what makes this game so fun!

I understand the situation. But the fact of the matter is he moved back here to play his senior season because of what was going on in Illinois. He is not the only one.

Wasn’t sure that was allowed here. It’s hard to know the rules without them being posted.

just saw it on twitter . . . notified this week of ineligibility . . . I wonder if this has happened to all IL kids trying to play football their senior season? Or just an isolated case?
