After a little delay and what not, I’m currently working on the projected returning starters for each team
I believe the reclassification news should be out pretty soon
A little 2024 football preview/prediction from Sokeland:

4A postseason in 5 years:
17-4
4 Sectional Championships
2 Regional Championships
1 Semi-State Championship
1 State Championship
Not too shabby and was just a couple of plays away from playing in a second 4A State Game in 2021 in the SS
I believe Mooresville got pushed to sectional 22, but I’m guessing the IHSAA will do more re arranging the Sectionals and what not. But yes, the Regional matchup should be intriguing this year.
I agree, Sectional 24 will be quite interesting now with Memorial currently back down in 3A. I’m guessing Reitz/Jasper will be the ones that are favored in that, since idk who BNL loses or returns. Whoever wins it could have a legit shot making it to Semi-State, since EC moved up to 5A.
Pretty much a short preview, Memorial and North will definitely be up there since they return 14+ starters. Reitz does take a hit losing a lot offensively, but returns a few on defense. Jasper is Jasper. I think Mater Dei will see more improvement this season. Castle’s offense should be great again returning nearly all of their WRs and McCool. The storyline for Vincennes is who will replace Hunt, but returning Mccrary is huge for the Alices. Losing Wagner is a massive hit for Bosse, no idea who they turn to now offensively. Might be another long season for Harrison and Central.
Of course there will be more discussions over the next few months, but I think those should be a good start for now.
Returning starter percentages will be posted in a couple of weeks. And will be updated once Calpreps releases their 2024 Preview in the summer.
