Yet only 1 state is listed as using a 1.65 multiplier

Great coaches adapt to their player personnel. While Coach Gillin and Coach Coll do like to throw the pigskin around, they are also smart enough coaches to adjust to what their players are best suited for. By that I mean if they have big strong O-lines and a good RB they will run the ball more. If they are better suited for throwing the ball they will throw the ball more. If they have both they will stay very balanced. Looking at this years stats Mooresville is pretty balanced and Franklin while balanced teeters a little more on running the ball. Mooresville Rushing 1,465 yds 218.1 YPG Mooresville Passing 1,198 yds 149.8 YPG Franklin Rushing 2,134 yds 266.8 YPG Franklin Passing 1,381 Yds 172.6 YPG

You do realize all of Indiana is Open Enrollment

I get what you are stating, but I don't know if I would say a majority of teams. I see a few that seem to be backsliding. I also see a few that are not backsliding and not improving. It has definitely been a interesting year in 6A. Of course that will make it that much more fun come playoffs. What I think is interesting about the Cathedral vs Center Grove match-up every year is how it usually plays out. A couple of years I have seen comments where people thought both teams would be conservative being the last game of the season heading into the tournament. Usually it is the exact opposite, both teams lay it all out on the line. Should be a good game between two great programs.

Must be a boring day for DT.

I could see the Final 4 being: North = Valpo vs F.W. Dwenger South = Cathedral or New Pal vs Bloomington South or Bloomington North

The magnets in the ping pong balls to get demagnatized before the draw. lol

Looks like it will be on the ISC Network https://www.iscsportsnetwork.com/videos/2019-fb-indianapolis-cathedral-at-brebeuf

How is your example any different than what can happen in 4A Sectional 23? East Central could draw to play at Martinsville first round of sectionals and then play at Greenwood or at Mooresville in second round of Sectionals. My point was the travel was what you mentioned in your first post, that already could be a possibility. I don't see any harm in the original post giving a hypothetical on a seeding. It shows interesting match-ups, really no need to rip into each post on it.

The seeding given didn't have a Sectional. It looked like a standard playoff bracket to me. Much like D-2, D-3, and NAIA use. What is the difference in long travel in round 1 compared to round 5. Travel is travel.

Marion had to travel to Evansville Central for the 4A South Semi-State last year. A 3 hr 51 min 9 or 4 hrs 9 min depending on which way was taken to get there..

I wouldn't mind seeding sectionals only because it could possibly set up a very good Sectional Championship. I will give my BEST example of why I 100% love the All In Format. Mooresville in 2017 Coach Gillin's first year there. They were coming off a 2-9 season in 2016, and were 1-9 headed into the tournament. They hit the sectional and beat Connersville, but then upset New Castle at New Castle (whom was having a relatively good season in 2017). They ended up losing the Sectional Champ to Greenwood. However I think grabbing those 2 Sectional wins that year was a spring board to what you see now. Last year 8-1 in regular season, sectional Championship, close loss to Marion in Regionals. This year sitting at 5-2 with a 24-21 loss to Decatur Central, and 17-13 loss to Whiteland. Coach Gillin is a great coach and has them rolling, but I feel that 2017 season gave them a push. If there was a qualify format you likely don't see that confidence being built. Just my 2 cents to agree with Captain!

What about this guy!?

Brutal and not much you can do about it. Just grind through the game, get out of there healthy. Thnk goodness for mandatory running clock after 35 point lead, speeds the game up a bit. On a positive New Pal will have a game at Delta to close out the season prior to playoffs to get fine tuned and primed. Best of luck to the Dragons!

Potential games that will be very interesting if they come to fruition come Tournament time: Laf. Jeff vs Homestead Avon vs Brownsburg (Rd 2) Col East vs Center Grove Valparaiso vs F.W. Dwenger Cathedral vs New Palestine Marion vs Delta Mooresville vs East Central Chatard vs West Lafayette

So you're saying they were not Normal? lol In all seriousness congrats to the Trojans!

Actually North Central was starting to turn things up while Coach Streiff was there. His first season they went 3-8 and 2nd season 5-7. He then went 6-4 and 7-4. They were gradually getting better. When he left stepped away as Head Coach after 2006 for family reasons NC went 9-4 first year under Coach Haste. Coach Streiff did not Coach in 2007, but did become the Head Coach in 2008 at Cathedral after Coach O'Hara retired.

How dare you forget 1 heck of a shin dig I mean tailgate!! I have to give some love to the Irish tailgaters @PHJIrish In all seriousness the IHSAA has nothing to do with Indiana's Open enrollment IDOE would be the ones to look at for that.

You do realize many middle school games are on a weeknight like say Thursday. So essentially you are saying instead of a Private Schools coach being at practice preparing his team he has driven all around the city and townships to recruit players from middle school games. I call BS. Even if they are on Saturday most coaches are doing game film with their players running them through conditioning. Not to mention sometimes the team themselves may be playing on Saturday.

Anyone who seriously thinks a a parent from Evansville, Lawrenceburg, Mishawaka, Angola, etc is going to send their child to a school on East 56th street in Indianapolis and have them commute have to be kidding themselves. That being said even the school you have listed "Avon" has open enrollment i.e. non-resident enrollment: https://www.avon-schools.org/cms/lib/IN01001885/Centricity/Domain/4744/Oriole Blast 3-16-17.pdf I've trouble understanding why some still make this tired argument a thing still. Back to the game at hand. Best of luck to the Irish tomorrow against the Rocks.

Like 6-0 Delta with a really good RB? lol Just making some humor Coach!
