    Some of the top 25 teams though that haven't been uber-successful in the last decade or so (or more): Jimtown, Hobart, Roncalli, Luers

    it’s a shame they ran out of 5 star players at the 2&3A level😄. But to be fair i think they made it to two semi states in the past five years.

    Really as a Dwenger fan i have always wondered where Luers found their studs that carried them through championships, the last significant one probably being Austin Mack who’s a receiver now at OSU.

    Rod Woodson--somewhere in Ft. Wayne (Northrop)

     

    Woodson went to Snider, but they might have been combined at the time? not exactly sure on the history of northrop/snider and why they share a field and everything.

    Also i don’t know if it’s been said already but Rod Smith, Jaylon’s brother went to Harding and played for the Cowboys but now is East Coast, maybe with the Giants?

    Did Garrett make this move due to possible Contraction of the Prairie Heights program?

    Prairie Heights isn’t ~contracting~ their football team, unless you have found some insider source that i have looked for for the last ten minutes after reading your comment. Please share what you know with your contraction omniscience about Prairie Heights contracting. And if you don’t know and are just guessing because they don’t win very often please drop the stupid contraction comments because they are sooo dumb and honestly tiring.

    I'd like to see Northrop's football program fold. Let those kids join forces with Snider (they share Spuller stadium anyway) to create a mega-school out of The Fort. Just wishful thinking.........won't ever happen. 

    Dear Lord, have mercy on the SAC if that were ever to happen, the talent at Northrop is there they just can never seem to get it organized enough if they were under Sniders staff it would ruin all of the competition in Fort Wayne😂

    Cant those same things be achieved by being a member of the following groups ? :

    basketball team

    Soccer team

    baseball team

    marching band

    show choir

    debate team

     

    And perhaps experience some winning along the way

    No one will ever convince me that those kids at Shelbyville had a good experience this year

    fact is, the admin let them down.  

    Dereliction of responsibility

    Would you send your son or daughter out on 465 before they were fully ready to handle it?

    Then why send these kids into harms way?  They clearly weren't ready to handle it.  Thats on the admin.  

     

    If you hate the sport so much leave the forum dude. You legitimately want to deprive kids of the ability to play a game just because they don’t win often or even ever. According to what i counted on Maxpreps Shelbyville has 53 kids on the varsity roster this year. 53. That means 53 young men CHOSE to play football, for their love of the game, for their friendships, for their community, and heck, for fun. No administrators were out there forcing students in the hall way to go to football practice and forcing them to play in theses games. High school football is a choice, a choice that isn’t always easy because not even the best programs in the state (asides from maybe NP) win every single game every year, a choice that teaches these young men that no matter how hard you got beat down you get back up and fight again, and a choice that you want to deprive of at least 53 young men to possibly hundreds just because they don’t win as often as you deem necessary. 

    “none of those boys had fun playing”

    if not a single kid on that team had fun playing then they wouldn’t have had 53 players on the team bub.

    This is possibly one of the dumbest and most ignorant statements i have ever seen on GID.

    Relevant to the fixing the 6A tournament topic thats on here right now, but also involves the 5A people too so figured it necessary to spin off. 

    IndyStar did a highlight on what it would look like to seed the 5A and 6A tournament next year. Pretty interesting article: 

    https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/12/03/indiana-high-school-football-time-seeding-ihsaa-tournament/4346453002/

    What are everyone's thoughts? I think it would make for some great late tournament matchups that may occur early on in the current format (e.g. Cathedral/NP, Avon/BB)

    I think seeding is something the ihsaa should have done always as long as they have had a tourney, it would be difficult to decide how to seed everyone since there will always be people upset about where they were ranked, but my best idea would be to have to actual coaches vote on it a lot like they do all conference teams, basically just voting for whoever they are most “scared”, for lack of a better term, to play.

    Seeding would be nice because then those teams that truly deserve to be in the semi-state and state games can earn the sectionals and regionals trophies that they deserve, instead of getting knocked out in a close sectional championship or regional to eventual state champs who steamroll through everyone else in the tourney. I would use 4A sectionals last year as an example where FW Dwenger and Wayne played an amazing game decided by one point in a sectional championship. It’s a shame that a team of that talent and caliber was eliminated so early before they could even get a trophy, i believe they could’ve made a semi state run at least in a different side of the bracket or sectional.

    Watching the Valpo vs Michigan City game now... looks like Valpo is a two man show. #27 and #13. The defense looked better against Mishawaka. MC Ran the ball well against them. To be honest not nervous,  I was more worried about Harrison. 

    However I have a few more games to watch before friday.

    this team in my opinion is a lot better than Harrison. Barely lost in 6A semi-state last year with a lot of the same talent, they seem extremely tough defensively which could be bad for dwenger since the offense sometimes gets a slow start but i think it will be a very good game because they seems to match up in all the right points
