I am sure your all time favorite (because you have called games between them) is the DC White jersey's and Gold Numbers (TV and Radio Play by Play nightmare).

I heard from a little birdie that @Coach Nowlin our local celebrity was going to up the ante from his WoF success and make a run on Jeopardy. Little birdie was me by the way and I approve this rumor!

Noblesville or Hamilton Heights? 😂

Coach Mallory is in his 40's I don't see him retiring from coaching anytime soon. Will he be coaching for another 20-30 years? Probably not that long unless he is looking to beat Bud Wrights tenure as a Head Coach. Coach Mal was HC at Kinghtstown for 2 years and has been at Lawrence North for the last 13 years.

Yes I had forgot about Coach West being from the Coach Moore coaching tree!

Yes there are coaches currently on staff that they might be willing to hire. 2 of them didn't quite work out at other programs as HC's but they have been terrific assistants and could warrant a shot. Technically Coach Mallory would be a hire from within Moore's program just not on current staff because he left after many years as an assistant in 2011 to get a shot as a Head Coach at Knightstown then after 2 years went to Lawrence North and has done a terrific job. He just hasn't been on the current CG staff. His 60-76 doesn't seem great to some. Those of us who saw how bad LN was when he first arrived know the leaps an bounds he has brought that program around. Those first few years were rough and now the last 2 or 3 have been a turning point. See above. Coach Mallory is a product of Coach Moore's system.

Agreed! When the day comes that Coach Moore decides to hang it up there will be high interest in the job. I think one of the top candidates who would be interested would be Coach Mallory at Lawrence North. He is part of the Moore Coaching Tree knows Moore's system very well a former assistant at CG and very familiar with the school and has done amazing things bringing LN from the bottom to the top.

They went 10-2 with a M.A.S.H. unit football team this year losing in Semi-State to WC 24-21. You must not remember that last year they lost in Semi-State to eventual State Champion Brownsburg 31-27, Brownsburg had 3 consecutive very tight games leading up to the State Championship. Center Grove had the ball with under a minute trailing 31-27 and ended up throwing an Int on 4th down. The year prior to that they lost 37-34 in OT to Ben Davis in Semi-State. It isn't like they haven't been right in the mix the last 3 years.

Funny thing about Fishers. I still remember in the 1990's when Hamilton Southeastern was a 4A school. By 2005 HSE had grown so big they opened Fishers High Scnow both are 6A schools separated by 6 miles.

I think @Sparty is saying Center Grove isn't done winning State Championships with Coach Moore. I would agree with him. They have some Offensive Lineman to replace but they have a lot of young skilled players returning. A healthy CG team this year would have probably gone deeper. Brownsburg would have been a tough match-up for them in Semi-State but they would have been competitive. The injury bug at RB position caught up to the Trojans. I was waiting for them to blow the dust off of Trojan Dad or @Bash Riprock they were going so deep into the well.

All I have to say is what a perfect catch you with your pants down call by the FW Dwenger coaching staff with that fake FG pass for a TD. Perfect call perfect place and won what was a tight game between both teams for the Saints! Cascade won't be far behind on the growth. The way Plainfield, Avon, Brownsburg, and Lebanon have grown. I wouldn't be surprised to see a huge growth over the next 10 years in Cascade area.

As I said in a previous post Branden Sharpe is very fast and very dangerous if you want to try and stop Brownsburg's run game. 5 total targets to Sharpe 4 catches 151 yds 1 TD in the first half only. 1 kickoff return 99 yds for TD. He broke the record for most receiving yards in the first half without being targeted in the second half. I felt like Brownsburg went a little too conservative in the second half and Westfield took advantage of it and tried climbing back in. Bad news for the rest of the State, Frye, Sharpe, and Lewis return next year for the Bulldogs. I can definitely see why Coach Hart went conservative (knowing Westfield plays well defensively in 2nd half, relying on his solid run game, not taking a chance of an INT) just feel they probably should have put their foot on the gas pedal a little more in the 3rd qtr 17 out of 20 plays in the 3rd qtr were run plays. In the 4th qtr I can understand run the football.

Yes I agree with what you are saying about a change in a different direction. I was just stating that technically he resigned and was not let go (which is better for his resume). I am pretty sure Avon and Brownsburg have been getting kids for several years that would have been at Ben Davis. Some of them have actually moved (with new apartments/houses going in left and right) in Avon and Brownsburg.

Excellent take! I think you will agree with me. The Ben Davis Head Football Coach position is tougher today than it was a long time ago. 1.) Anyone being HC at Ben Davis has a large looming shadow (Dick Dullaghan) to follow with Champion Caliber expectations. 2.) With Open enrollment and the landscape of Indiana High School sports there is a large competition with kids let alone athletes Ben Davis, Avon, Brownsburg all in the same vicinity all 6A. 3.) The conference and non conference schedule don't give you many breaks. Ben Davis Head Coach is a great job to have but also a high pressure job to have. It looks like technically the HC wasn't let go he resigned.

Brownsburg has an elite Offensive Line but it isn't just about beating you up with their O-line. You come into the game thinking they are just going to pound you with their O-line and run the ball and the coaches and opposing team will be stunned when Sharpe with his outstanding speed runs by your secondary for multiple long TD's. Cathedral had a very solid defense (as witnessed in the New Pal Cathedral game) Sharpe had 8 receptions for 237 yds 2 TD's against Cathedral They run 3 terrific running backs at you Senior Jobe (1,483 yds 20 TD), Junior Lewis (709 yds 9 TD), Senior Sumpterbey (622 yds 6 TD). They have an excellent Junior QB in Frye who doesn't make many bad throws (2,366 yds passing 28 TD's 2 Int). They have an elite WR Junior WR in Sharpe (992 yards 12 TD) and another terrific WR Robinson (652 yds 6 TD). Defensively there isn't just one name that stands out they have a collective group that plays very well together. The best quality about their defense is their defense knows their Offense is going to put up points so they get aggressive and take chances 9 times out of 10 their defense makes a play on those chances.
