I would not be surprised if your expectation is very accurate.  We definitely beat an outstanding football team in the Trojans.  Not sure I see anyone in 3A taking them down.  Sadly, it appears the IHSAA has turned a potential state championship game into a sectional match-up between West Lafayette and Chatard.  I will say winner of Sectional 28 will be favored to take 3A, probably beating Gibson Southern in the title game.  

Yep, the re-alignment really created a mess in 3A.  I agree with you about WL and BC.  That will be a great match-up and I would put my money on the winner of that one to take the 3A title.

If you look over the years....having a P&P killer sectional in 3A isn't that unusual....across multiple sports.  Not saying it is right...just saying it isn't unusual.  And I agree....Chatard looks vastly improved over last year if that is even possible.

Completely agree with this assessment. Crazy to think that teams who are favored to possibly go to LOS will not get out of their sectional...

Happens all over the state... many times a year.

No system is perfect and this particular issue is not unique.

I agree 100% with you.

If I’m not mistaken it happened for years in the Sectional containing LCC and Pioneer.

Look at the schools in sectionals 30, 31 & 32 on a map.  Somebody did the alignment after a few bong hits...

I can agree with that....the whole thing with going hours east to west....been debated here already but there is no sound logic.

Some of us have long thought (believed) there is a method to the madness when every 3A P&P in the southern 3/4 of the State is in the same Sectional.

Yes we have.  Happens too often in too many sports IMHO to be coincidental.  Just like some of the sectional draws.  (Queue Coach Nowlin to tell me I'm a conspiracy theorist)

Maybe they are trying to help out some of the schools that have struggled. Look at sectional 30. Someone will come out of there with a title that they haven't had in at least 13 years. A lot longer than that if Lincoln doesn't win it.

Cathedral was reclassified during the summer, have been placed in a sectional with Terre Haute North and Terre Haute South and New Pal was moved to the south, where they belonged all the time, and will play the sectional 13 winner in the regional!  Now,  how's that for a conspiracy?
