Simple urban sprawl as you mentioned yesterday with Carroll, just at a slower rate. What’s happening in the suburbs now is what happened to the county schools in the 80s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Homestead picking up steam though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I see more housing going up in Huntertown. I'm sure someone can look this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroll is the number one growing area. I've just seen Homestead pick up steam recently and I see that trend continuing. It's hard to deny how nice Fort Wayne's southwest side is. After all, it's home to Indiana's wealthiest zip code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been in the top 5-10 in enrollment in the state for years yet their football relevance, except for a brief time under George Pappas and Al Harants, has largely been not there past a season here or there. Certainly, they have one of the best athletic programs in the state. They've had success in almost every sport. They've had great coaches there like Mark Haste, Rick Streiff, Kevin O'Shea, etc. They've had supportive ADs and admin. I mean, Paul Loggan (RIP), is/was still one of the most respected football people of his time. It's more than enrollment, isn't it?

For the last time, yes it’s more than enrollment, no one is claiming otherwise. Washington Township is still one of the more affluent areas of Marion County and is still a power in many country club sports (tennis, swimming, cross country). Their affluence lends itself to those sports at an early age. Their basketball program has been top notch for 2+ decades and it has always seemed to me that their focus and consistency there (Doug Mitchell was a legend) allowed them to thrive on the hardwood. I do remember speaking to some folks in the know during Mitchell’s tenure that claimed he was not a big multi-sport guy and discouraged his basketball players from playing football so there is also that.

BTF Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 True or False: An average coach at school with an enrollment of 4000 will beat a great coach at a school of 2000 enrollment 50% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, maybe higher. Pretty much everyone wins at Warren, Carmel and BD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False. I don't think you can say that for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
