I can however continue to mention that pound for pound 5a is a laughing stock (this year) in comparison to the 4 other classes
Here I'll throw you a bone
Any of the 5a listed teams other than whiteland would have made it to Lucas oil in 4a at least
4a north is actually that bad (still waiting at kilroys)
reitz and memorial could certainly have won 5a
they would not be favorites
any of the other teams would have thoroughly embarassed the entire 5a tournament
I don't get how you could watch snider valpo and/or castle whiteland and think anything else
Delete 1a
delete 6a
top 64 teams in 5a
bottom 128 teams in 2a
64 3a
64 4a
reverse SF, move teams down when they are uncompetitive, and use current SF point system to decide who moves up to replace them.
I think we all can agree here that While Hansen should have won RB and totally got robbed
Coyle is a great player in his own right and deserving of a shot
the whole system is crap and going to lead to an offensive result
and the mercy rule needs to go now
had to include it, no point in skipping years to prove a point, but yes I think 5a was pretty down that year as well
if the top 5 teams can't compete with the top teams of the past decade, then it has to be fair to say that 5a is down
and I think most of the potential matchups there would be extremely one sided.
and now i've a a question for you @BTF
Which team from 5a this year beats
2014 Cathedral
2015 Snider, New pal
2016 Columbus east, westfield
2017 Columbus east
2018 New pal
2019 New pal, Michigan city
the only two teams worth a damn in 5a were Snider and North side
Snider played terribly against valpo and deserved the loss
valpo whiteland castle and Merriville (dw we got this next year with our 75 returning d1 players) were not good football teams especially if you compare them to 5a teams in the last decade
yet one of them was crowned champion, snider probably should have taken that one, but as stated
they played bad football when the time came
I was all in on Carroll winning 6a and picked them against the #1 team from the (MOST DOMINANT CONFERENCE TO HARDLY WIN ANYTHING) in semi state.
I also am a Dwenger fan
I just like good football
and 5a did not play it this year
I'll take roncalli EC New Pal Memorial and Brebeuf
you can take your top 5 from 5a.
match them up however you want
10 times out of 10 4a wins at least 3/5 of those games
5 times out of 10 4a wins at least 4/5 of those games
4 times out of 10 4a wins all 5 of those games
to elaborate
I think New Pal Roncalli and EC would each beat whiteland and valpo in a double header if they needed to
Snider loss to valpo was eye opening
They should have ran that game over before halftime
At the Same time I tried multiple times to watch castle vs whiteland but I just couldn't. It was bad football and to say otherwise is laughable.
5a football was atrocious this year from the top down, new pal ec and roncalli could have mercy ruled the 5a state game, memorial could have won it.
But I stated all this months ago when I mentioned 2015 snider would have absolutely trounced this years team
It's not indy bias to look at 5a football this year and say it was objectively bad.
