I've seen them teach electorals that usually deal with fitness which non athlete students may enroll. Quote

Two of the smarter posters on this forum. The fact that you don't comprehend what I'm saying is massively bizarre. Good luck to your teams this year. Moving on for real now. So basically no surprises this year? FB16 is smart...my wife would tell you that you are giving me way too much credit. Can't argue with her to be honest! Hey, its ok we have different views. Makes forums like this interesting. 2 Quote

Football brings in the most revenue (basketball could argue). Dick Dullaghan built a monster at Ben Davis. The administration made sure to continue that monster by putting the right men in the position. I'm guessing that BD doesn't put that kind of stock into the other sports. I'll defer to the Indy guys on this one, but that's my observation from 120 miles away. I'd agree. In my day, the main things BD was known for was their excellent band program and their radio station that gave us the Calabro Brothers and Kristi Lee :) 1 Quote

NC used to be very good in tennis. Several kids out of that program turned pro. I'm not sure about now. On 7/9/2024 at 9:19 PM, temptation said: Brownsburg has broken me Bob.

NC is easily the premier athletic program of what’s left of the MIC despite all of the ways they are shortchanged in football on here. They are state level quality in multiple sports. Currently: BD is elite in football and boys basketball. Warren is elite in football, girls track and wrestling. LC is elite in girls basketball. LN is elite in boys and girls basketball and wrestling. Pike is pretty mediocre across the board. I’m sure I am missing a few but not many. Football is one of the few sports in which NC is NOT ranked. Edited July 11, 2024 by temptation 1 Quote

Teague will at least keep some district kids home, he’ll probably even attract a few out of district kids given his AAU connections. Whether or not he can coach is one thing, but he’ll get the talent to win. He’s not taking this job to be a perennial loser. Edited July 11, 2024 by Footballking16 Quote
