He isn't incorrect. There is a reason there aren't many IPS schools left and it is all self inflicted by IPS. The IPS choices would be Arsenal Tech, KIPP Indy Legacy, Purdue Poly Broad Ripple, and Shortridge. Take athletics out of the equation and you would be making a wise decision choosing Bishop Chatard just for the academics and safety.

That is why the "bought ring" comment is in itself absurd comparing schools in the inner city of Indianapolis to rural is night and day difference. Especially when the choice of schools in a small area are a lot different between inner city and rural. Plenty of kids within the Chatard 500 plus student body not on that 77 player roster for football. Lest they give out rings for drama club, chess club, model UN etc. these days. I doubt parents are sending their children to Kessler and Crittenden for an abundance of rings.

Yep 100% (I can see why people were questioning from the game film and angle it was at. Looking from the other side though you can tell.

IPS wouldn't be the only choice. You have the Lawrence schools (Lawrence North and Lawrence Central) and North Central. Then you have the other p/p schools (Brebeuf Jesuit, Heritage Christian, Cathedral, Park Tudor). For the parochial elementary schools a little further North there is Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers, and HSE to choose and Guerin Catholic. I sometimes think some don't realize the amount of schools available around the North to Northeast side of Indianapolis Distance from Chatard to: Park Tudor (9 min), Cathedral (10 min), Law Cent (12 Min), North Cent (12 Min), Heritage Christian (15 min), Carmel (16 min), Law North (17 min), Brebeuf (21 min), Westfield (23 min), Fishers (25 min), HSE (27 min), Noblesville (31 min).

I mean all the teams had to deal with Covid, it's not like the Hoosiers were exonerated from covid while others were not. Should Center Grove, Cathedral, Roncalli, Chatard, Western Boone, and Covenant Christian all give back their 2020 STate Championship Titles because of "Covid". I don't feel they should.

I am not close to the program but @Lysander can't keep secrets and on rare occasions our brain waves sync up (when we actually use them) or at least reminisce about the days of CJB and Ly gets a sugar high. I digress in honor of Lysander's utter appreciation for how the IHSAA handles things with infinite wisdom, he will be suggesting to Coach Doyle to take all non starters and those not on the two-deep and write them on ping pong balls and select the 2 unlucky contestants. Unless of course one of those unlucky contestants mother is on the list to wash the uniforms from the previous game, then a 3rd ping pong ball will be drawn. Just had to go out and bring up "Coach Junction Boy" some of the newer posters can't handle learning about CJB. Careful with those Bit 'O Honey's we don't want too many dentist visits!

I might have gave the 2022 roster. Here is the 2023 https://bishopchatardathletics.org/wp-content/uploads/2023FootballRoster.pdf

77 Varsity players for Chatard. @Lysander use to be a 3-way play (cooked, cleaned, and drove) now he retired. https://bishopchatardathletics.org/wp-content/uploads/Football-Roster.pdf

A win is a win

Yep but they had their number in 2016 and 2017 many didn't think they would win those games.

He is beat Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin.

Yes

Ipso facto lazier or indolent,

I don't know I think we might need to read it one more time or two.

Says the man who is even lazier and wants others to do the work for them.

Nope I only did residents of Indianapolis because that is all I felt like doing. You want more you put your own fingers to work. Ultimately it doesn't matter. Not but a small fraction of the population of Indianapolis or donut counties will or would even consider going to Chatard. You can toss up all the large numbers you want. Within a few miles radius there are 7-8 High Schools to choose from near Chatard. Knox = 553 students Chatard = 667 students Chatard rosters 77 players 2 of those 77 aren't from a parochial elementary school. I wouldn't be able to tell you how many act of contrition's or signs of the cross the 75 have done but I am sure it is a lot just like the population of Indianapolis.

Add in Vince Lorenzano too, terrific record at Chatard took Ritter to the STate Championship too and also coached at Mississinewa.

Knox 9.8% of 3,232 population (in Knox only) Indianapolis 11.5% of 882,039 population. Of course it doesn't matter because not all of them are going to go to Chatard. It is only Tuesday perhaps along with Offensive, Defensive, and Special Teams reps some Sign of the Cross reps can be worked in.

Muy caliente If you can see in the background lodge type feeling plenty of brew and view.

There are plenty of mountains at Twin Peaks, Tilted Kilt, and Hooters.

Most of the Chatard players and coaches have been around the CYO football fields. Student body right and student body left are mainstays. Perhaps Coach Doyle can contact Coach Scifres and have a discussion about the different ways to block the toss sweep for old times sake.

Calpreps has 31-22 in favor of East Central. I don't look at the scores as much as I do the percentages. East Central is listed as 73% chance of being the winner and New Palestine 27% chance. Better percentages than others as of late against East Central. I have had East Central as the run away winner of 4A all year I don't see anything changing that. The Dragons will make it a respectable game but the Trojans talent and experience will come to the forefront. East Central (St. Leon, IN) 31 (73%) New Palestine (IN) 22 (27%)

Danville did have Chatard's number in 2016 and 2017, but they got that monkey off their back in 2020.
