I'm going to say their enrollment is where they want it to be. The region Providence is located is growing population wise however, their enrollment has dipped. Since they can actually control their enrollment I'm going to say this is intentional.

Providence has done a good job managing their enrollment. They are in that sweet spot where they can be a big 1A in football and 2A in basketball and baseball and they can be very successful in all 3 with who they are bringing in.

How many more p/p's with football programs are there in 2024 than in the late 70's and early 80's?

2024: Public School Sweep 2026: Private Schools will demand to be in their own tounament???

I do know that when we played Brownstown in Round 2, they asked if they could do some kind of entrance, which they always do. ( I don't remember what it was. Maybe an inflatable helmet thing? I didn't see it.) But they had to get approval because we wouldn't have one. We obviously didn't care.

I'd like to see two adjoining sectionals seeded. For us, seed the 16 teams in sectionals 39 and 40. In general, the travel is the same. You'll have 2-hour drives in the current alignment or do it this way. I don't know that Sagarin is the way to go or another metric but something would be better than nothing. I almost think the sectional would be 2 weeks, and the regional 2 weeks but I'm not sure I'm sold on this.

Trevor, I appreciate you posting on here. I am glad that after reading the comments, you question why you coach in the first place. If nothing else, progress is being made. Have a good evening.

I think everyone who coaches knows this type of guy. The youth coach that complains the entire time on Friday nights. The guy who played a little bit in high school but doesn't really know football. If this is the type of coach their youth program consists of, no wonder he wasn't successful. I love his line; we are forced to run an offense for which the kids aren't suited. It's the T. You're blocking defenders and running the football. If you don't have kids who can block and run the ball, what offense are you suited for? Noblesville hasn't had a winning season in 20 years. It's not all Dave Sharpe's fault.

There is a post on John Harrell Proboards that appears to be from a Noblesville Youth Coach. I think the post itself is pretty telling as to what issues are there.

I don't know anything about Dave or Noblesville. What is his philosophy or scheme that is unpopular?

I know the feeling.

I do think it is important to point out that Greenwood Christian and FW Blackhawk are in it's 2nd full year of playing varsity football and both just played in their first post-season.

Do you think Lutheran will opt to remain in 2A when the 2 year cycle is up?

The only 2 that I can think of that can be said in a public forum would be: Does Your Back Hurt Sandy??? (In a very whiny, high pitch voice) and TACO MEAT!!! Please do not ask for an explanation for either.
