My understanding is the Terre Haute schools are the reason for why Columbus East turned down a Conference Indiana invite.

I think I’d consider any Mid-State Conference schools and Franklin Central as well. Pretty much any 4A school or bigger (sans Center Grove and private/parochial schools) south of I-465, north of US 50, and with Bloomington and Columbus as the west and east boundaries. That’s a nice rectangle encompassing 16 eligible schools.

If there was a South Central Conference 2.0 created, I’d like to see these five schools in it: Columbus North Columbus East Bloomington North Bloomington South Seymour I would then like to see one or both of these schools in it as well to make it a six or seven team conference: Southport Bedford North Lawrence

Hadn’t seen that yet on social media. Thank you!

Kentucky isn’t in the Midwest 😉

This week’s games (week 2): BNL (0-1) at 5A #9/#10 Bloomington North (1-0) Brown County (0-1) at Jennings County (1-0) 3A #1 Christian Academy of Louisville (1-0) at New Albany (0-1) Columbus North (0-1) at Columbus East (0-1) Seymour (0-1) at Jeffersonville (0-1) Terre Haute South (0-1) at Floyd Central (0-1) Notes: -Bloomington North’s ranking is #9 in the media poll and #10 in the coaches poll. -Christian Academy of Louisville’s ranking comes from the KHSAA media poll.

As we head into conference play this week, I decided to throw out a prediction on how the standings will shape up this year. This will probably be completely wrong but I’ll give it a shot. 1. Seymour 2. Floyd Central 3. BNL 4. Columbus East 5. Jennings County 6. Jeffersonville 7. New Albany

We’re only one week in. We have at least ten weeks to go. Plenty of time.

Not the only stud but I’m just impressed with his ability despite being a sophomore. I was impressed last year as well. It’s always crazy to me seeing QBs playing defense and special teams as well. It’s not easy.

Jennings County QB Parker Elmore is a stud. Second-year starter for the Panthers and only a sophomore. He can throw it and he can tuck it and run. He throws a risky pass at times but the kid is composed and confident in the pocket. His success will depend on the o-line and receivers around him so I shudder to think how good he’ll be in two years if he has help.
