Already stated my percentages earlier in this thread. Gimme Cathedral, Westfield, Brownsburg, HSE and Fishers in that “outside shot” group. Both were in either 4A or 5A, but East Central and Snider certainly would have had a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, given that the "stone's throw" is zero for the last two years, I'd say "true north" has every bit of a chance as the "stone throws." But no, I said someone from the northern bracket will buck the trend. Temp, you've been asking for victory from the north over Indy for several years. We've given you several victories over the last two seasons. That gap is almost shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, Merrillville was in 6A since it's inception up until a couple of years ago. They had their opportunity to win at that level, but didn't. I don't see that changing if they were bump back up. That's not a slight on them, programs of their enrollment have too much going against them to win the state title. Sure, there are years where Snider, New Pal, and East Central want to be part of the conversation. But Merrillville hasn't shown that they've had such a year yet.

Merrillville (and their fanboy) broke me in the same way that Brownsburg has. One of the more talented teams statewide, in 2020 and 2021 specifically and weren’t even close. Crown Point’s emergence gives me hope but I’m scared to get hurt again. Edited Friday at 03:53 PM by temptation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The north has four wins over the past two seasons vs high profile Indy teams. And one more against a pretty darn good one. It's a start. Looking forward to Carroll defeating Center Grove in Week 2. That'll shake things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Merrillville was the only chance and they just don't have the enrollment. Like you said, they were stacked with talent in 2020 and 2021 and still couldn't get past Westfield (and Chatard). Could possibly have had 2 NFL players. Grant is seemingly a lock to go 1st round. MAYBE Jo Jo Johnson can work his way into the NFL if he can get healthy in college. I'm not even sure if he will crack IU's 2 deeps this year. But, he was an electric WR / DB in HS. I'm skepitcal of Crown Point as well. They will always have talent and elite coaching. Counting the '25 class, last years Crown Point team had at least 5 MAC recruits. But, one thing Cody was always right about is that Crown Point hasn't had any elite speed athletes like a Jo Jo Johnson or Justin Marshall (Merrillville --> Colorado State) and it showed against Ben Davis. The Giant WR's and RB's looked like men against boys when playing Crown Point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That school is only going to get bigger. They have great facilities and community support. Very good school. As transfers get easier and easier, and the influx of Illinois families continues, the Bulldogs are poised to become the new Penn — and a destination for athletes. Now whether that gets them anything on Thanksgiving weekend is another question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catching CG early could be good for Carroll… A quick glance shows that CG is replacing its quarterback, top WR, top two RBs and top two tacklers. Would you take Carroll +10.5?

Bash Riprock Posted Friday at 08:45 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:45 PM On 6/27/2024 at 12:34 PM, temptation said: Correct. BD is one of a handful of programs in Indiana where you simply need a conductor to keep the train on the tracks due to many of the factors you mentioned. At other places you have to build the train, do the maintenance work on the train and steer it with one eye closed in order to navigate your way to the top. Not at a place with 4500 students though. Russ Mann is Indiana’s current all-time leader in winning percentage. Pretty cool. Was Jason Simmons not a good conductor? Barely had a .500 record in his 5 years there. Even with 4500 students.
