It looks like the two biggest Indiana high school football Wikipedia pages need some love. @Rudy has gotten them started, but they are in dire need of updates, including links to the actual teams or schools' pages: Indiana big school football champions Indiana high school football champions – smaller schools Indiana High School Athletic Association Indiana Football Hall of Fame Indiana High School Athletics Conferences Between the IHSAA's records, John Harrell's site, and Almanac Sports, most of the needed information is available.

How they've done it for 120 years. Sagarin has gone rogue. Don't some high schools show tenths of a second for football? I swear Heritage Hills' scoreboard shows/used to show tenths.

Maybe they should be playing in the Reitz Bowl this week, instead of the Tigers or the Wildcats.

Easy now, my niece goes to Castle MS. Is Floyd Central better than every team in the SIAC?

Why it seemingly has about half the attendance that it did in 2012? New business model limits attendance in favor of per capita revenue. I'm not even sure Holiday World is a member of the QB Club. Looks like a bunch of farmers and individuals contribute. Wish we had the Mid State Corridor... I'm talking to you Dubois County!

Exactly 17 years after the Toyota plant was built. Coincidence?

Quite the selective timeline...

I'm going with Elkhart Christian played one game in 2010 against Bowman Academy. That's what AlmanacSports and Sagarin both show. Maybe Harrell assumed it was the same team as Osceola Grace, or just got it wrong in his records. Thanks for your info. I'll write an email to Harrell tonight. FYI: I've gone through all of Harrell's records from 1994-2026 (around 50,000 games) and this is the only discrepancy I could find between his records and Sagarin's records. @Rudy tagging you on this for Almanac Sports.

I always thought of the Evansville East vs. West battle for U.S. 41 and Catholic dominance game, as Mater Dei being the gritty, working class team against the more affluent team from Memorial. The helmets reflect this. Mater Dei can't even afford decals on their helmets while Memorial has a decal and stripes. Prove me wrong. Big fan of both programs. Too bad Mater Dei has to play a home game at THE REITZ BOWL. Heck Reitz is even in Memorial's name.

Thoughts on these helmets? Do they match what the teams are wearing this season? Any input is appreciated!

Anyone from the Elkhart area know why in 2010 Sagarin rated a team called "Elkhart Christian." Almanac Sports has them playing Bowman once in August 2010, but Harrell lists this same game as Bowman Academy vs. Osceola Grace?

Thoughts on these helmets? Main thing is: are they accurate to what teams are wearing in 2026? Appreciate any input.

Because they saw their sweet helmets.

This is a mythical P/P traveling "trophy" between all private and parochial schools in Indiana. Because we have to pick a starting date, I have chosen 1999 because Roncalli went 15-0, beat Chatard twice, Scecina, and Brebeuf. The previous season, Roncalli also beat Chatard, Cathedral, and Scecina with no losses to P/P schools. A lot of extensive research went into this by hand. I used AI to double check the results and I'm 99.9999% this is the correct path that the "trophy" has traveled. This makes the first defense of the trophy on Week 1 of 2000 (August 18): Week 1, 2000: Brebeuf 7, Roncalli 0 Week 3, 2000: Providence 19, Brebeuf 16 Week 3, 2001: Providence 22, Brebeuf 21 Week 3, 2002: Providence 17, Brebeuf 13 Week 3, 2003: Providence 24, Brebeuf 14 Week 3, 2004: Brebeuf 31, Providence 0 Week 4, 2004: Brebeuf 21, Scecina 7 Week 5, 2004: Brebeuf 40, Culver Academy 13 Week 6, 2004: Brebeuf 49, Heritage Christian 0 Week 7, 2004: Brebeuf 24, Ritter 21 Week 9, 2004: Roncalli 21, Brebeuf 6 Week 12, 2004: Roncalli 17, Cathedral 16 (sectional final) Week 3, 2005: Chatard 14, Roncalli 7 Week 4, 2005: Cathedral 33, Chatard 15 Week 12, 2005: Roncalli 16, Cathedral 12 (sectional final) Week 3, 2006: Chatard 41, Roncalli 7 Week 4, 2006: Cathedral 20, Chatard 14 Week 6, 2006: Roncalli 14, Cathedral 13 Week 10, 2006: Cathedral 28, Roncalli 0 (sectional) Week 4, 2007: Cathedral 21, Chatard 7 Week 6, 2007: Cathedral 31, Roncalli 0 Week 10, 2007: Cathedral 42, Roncalli 7 (sectional) Week 4, 2008: Cathedral 15, Chatard 14 Week 7, 2008: Cathedral 17, Roncalli 3 Week 10, 2008: Cathedral 21, Roncalli 8 (sectional) Week 15, 2008: Cathedral 10, Dwenger 7 (state) Week 4, 2009: Cathedral 31, Chatard 7 Week 6, 2009: Cathedral 55, Roncalli 10 Week 4, 2010: Cathedral 40, Chatard 14 Week 6, 2010: Cathedral 41, Roncalli 10 Week 12, 2010: Cathedral 48, Roncalli 7 (sectional final) Week 15, 2010: Cathedral 31, Dwenger 20 (state) Week 4, 2011: Cathedral 21, Chatard 14 Week 5, 2011: Cathedral 42, Dwenger 3 Week 10, 2011: Cathedral 20, Roncalli 13 (sectional) Week 4, 2012: Chatard 21, Cathedral 7 Week 5, 2012: Ritter 56, Chatard 33 Week 8, 2012: Ritter 36, Scecina 18 Week 9, 2012: Ritter 55, Park Tudor 0 Week 14, 2012: Ritter 49, Mater Dei 14 (semistate) Week 15, 2012: Luers 40, Ritter 28 (state) Week 6, 2013: Concordia 17, Luers 14 Week 9, 2013: Concordia 34, Brebeuf 27 Week 12, 2013: Concordia 42, Luers 21 (sectional final) Week 6, 2014: Luers 52, Concordia 27 Week 1, 2015: Luers 28, Dwenger 15 Week 5, 2015: Luers 42, Concordia 35 Week 4, 2016: Concordia 34, Luers 16 Week 6, 2016: Concordia 28, Dwenger 21 Week 12, 2016: Concordia 45, Luers 22 Week 4, 2017: Concordia 28, Luers 7 Week 6, 2017: Dwenger 27, Concordia 0 Week 7, 2017: Dwenger 15, Luers 14 Week 6, 2018: Dwenger 36, Concordia 13 Week 7, 2018: Dwenger 15, Luers 13 Week 6, 2019: Dwenger 33, Concordia 14 Week 7, 2019: Dwenger 47, Luers 0 Week 6, 2020: Dwenger 38, Concordia 12 Week 7, 2020: Dwenger 43, Luers 6 Week 6, 2021: Dwenger 45, Concordia 10 Week 7, 2021: Luers 41, Dwenger 38 Week 4, 2022: Luers 41, Concordia 14 Week 7, 2022: Dwenger 17, Luers 12 Week 7, 2023: Luers 29, Dwenger 28 Week 14, 2023: Luers 28, Central Catholic 7 (semistate) Week 5, 2024: Luers 38, Concordia 0 Week 7, 2024: Dwenger 8, Luers 0 Week 9, 2024: Dwenger 41, Concordia 7 Week 1, 2025: Roncalli 3, Dwenger 0 Week 3, 2025: Chatard 33, Roncalli 11 Week 4, 2025: Cathedral 23, Chatard 20 NEXT TROPHY GAME Week 4, 2026: Cathedral at Chatard KEY STORYLINES All-Time Records Cathedral 20-4 Dwenger 12-8 Luers 9-11 Concordia 7-10 Brebeuf 6-6 Roncalli 5-13 Ritter 4-2 Providence 4-1 Chatard 4-9 Scecina 0-2 Heritage Christian 0-1 Mater Dei 0-1 Culver Academy 0-1 Central Catholic 0-1 Park Tudor 0-1 🏆 Cathedral's Dynasty (2006–2011) — 16 consecutive defenses across 6 seasons, including two state championship trophy defenses (2008 vs Dwenger, 2010 vs Dwenger). The all-time record. 🏰 Dwenger's Fortress (2017–2021) — 8 straight defenses, completely locking the trophy in Fort Wayne for 4+ years. Concordia and Luers couldn't crack it. 🌍 The Fort Wayne Exile (2012–2024) — The trophy spent 13 years in northern Indiana! After Ritter carried it to the 2012 state final, it bounced between Luers, Concordia, and Dwenger until Roncalli finally brought it home to Indy in Week 1, 2025. 😬 Chatard's Curse — Held the trophy 6 times, never defended it once! Every time they win it, they lose it the very next P/P game.
