I’m aware of at least 3 D1 offers/commits on CP. QB committed to Miami OH, TE/LB B1G offers for LB, TE/ DE committed to either Miami OH or Ball St. There might be more but I know for sure.

Agree CP could bolster their non conference schedule and wouldn’t have to far to travel. They could and should play some of the Chicago area schools.

Whoever CP faces,  their opponent better be ready for a very physical brand of football on both sides of the ball for all 4 quarters.

I can name a at least a half dozen teams within 25 miles of Monument Circle that can equal or better that offer list.

Please stop with the fake disrespect.

It’s no fault of Crown Point’s whatsoever that I am leery of their ability to pull it off.

It’s an annual October GID tradition on here where a poster (or multiple posters) throw common sense and history to the wind and claim that “Insert non-Indy 6A north team here” is being disrespected and should actually be FAVORED against the best 6A team from the south.

If you go back and check my posting history, I have been adamant that I want parity in the 6A class and would love to see a non-Indy team pull it off, but I need to see it to believe it.  Hell, being competitive would actually be a good start. 

CP has some next level talent, maybe even enough to keep up with the teams mentioned frequently on this forum.  The difference is usually the fact that the Indy teams have MORE, along with the depth necessary to wear the other team out.

Crown Point plays a schedule that is currently outside of the top 50…you can’t blame me (and I’m not the only one who has pause, yet you chose to target me in your “manifesto”).

Serious question here. You mentioned the difficulty with CP playing teams from Indianapolis, but Chicago is right around the corner. Have they not tried or are there no teams from the Windy City and it’s suburbs available?

 

 

I didn’t necessarily mean to target you only, it was that you posted last. I am sorry it was taken out on you. And I’m not saying they should necessarily be favored, just be given some thought or at least watched, looked into, something. And yes, seeing it to believe it is necessary. Otherwise it is all talk. But with the way many of the powerhouses have been this season, I think that the right team can do it. However, until it happens, it is all speculation. And I don’t know if it will be CP, or if it will happen by the north anytime soon, but it would be nice when there is talent teams are at least not afterthought.

CP is much better than last year. Do you know how many current seniors are committed to playing D1 next year or how many juniors already have D1 offers? Maybe that’s something worth noting. It seems the stats of all the Indy teams, even the ones that aren’t doing great, are widely known. You both admit CP is good, yet they remain an unknown. Who exactly is better than CP in the North bracket, and what is that opinion based on? Judging by the posts, it’s clear there isn’t much familiarity with CP, despite their unexpected run at State last year. Is this lack of interest simply because "Indy is Indy?" Even the schools you claim aren't great in Indy manage to keep games close against these Indy powerhouse teams, who suddenly in week 8 is listed as number 5 and 6.

Yes, many 6A Indy (and surrounding area) teams are fantastic, and Indy has been the center of powerhouse football for at least two decades. It would be great if CP could play more regular season games against 6A Indy powerhouses. Unfortunately, the DAC isn't strong. But logistically, CP would have to travel two hours to face teams like Brownsburg, Center Grove, Carmel, Warren, and Westfield, and there's also the time zone difference. It even takes 1.5 hours just to get to Penn/Elkhart (and there is also a time zone difference there too)! Meanwhile, Indy teams have much shorter trips and remain in the same time zone. Hopefully, CP can schedule a good 6A opponent next season and make it work, and continue to make their schedule stronger. Just imagine the force they will be. Coach Buz took them to state after only being there for 3 years.

I admit, many 6A Indy teams are great and Indy has had the powerhouses for 2 decades now at least. It would be awesome if CP would have more regular season games against 6A teams, or some of the Indy powerhouses. The DAC is not great. But think about it, it takes 2 hours for CP to get to Brownsburg, Center Grove, Carmel, Westfield, LN,  and Warren - and there is also an hour time difference. Heck, it takes 1 1/2 hours to get from CP to Penn/Elkhart and there is an hour time difference as well. It takes the Indy teams generally less than an hour to get to each other and is in the same time zone. Hopefully, CP can add a game next season against another 6A team that will is good and make it work out.

This season, CP has had a running clock by halftime in all 8 games. CP’s 1st team defense has shut out opponents in the first half in 7 of those 8 games. The stats are impressive, especially considering the starters mostly only play the first half (sometimes just the first quarter). Often, both the starters and backups take a knee on extra points or focus on other aspects of the game instead of running up the score. CP has committed just one turnover (a fumble) and has thrown zero interceptions this season.

Here’s a look at CP’s 2024 season games:

• Lowell: 44-7
• Arizona College Preparatory: 42-7
• Merrillville: 46-13
• Lake Central: 42-14
• Portage: 58-20
• Valparaiso: 41-6
• LaPorte: 42-0
• Chesterton: 41-7

For comparison, here are some of CP’s "closer" games from 2023 along with Tournament games:

• Merrillville: 39-6
• Lake Central: 38-12
• Valparaiso: 19-14
• Chesterton: 21-7
• Lafayette Jefferson (Sectional Semi-Final): 42-10
• Lake Central (Sectional Championship): 42-7
• Penn (Regional): 34-33
• Westfield (Semi-State): 38-31
• Ben Davis (State): 38-10

Even with a weaker schedule, CP only lost to Ben Davis by 28 points in the State Championship last year. That was CP’s first-ever trip to State in football, and Coach Buzea was only in his 3rd season while battling cancer throughout his tenure as a coach during those 3 years at CP. Losing by 4 TDs in their first trip to State with a weaker schedule is pretty impressive, especially considering other teams that have been to State before have lost by similar margins.

Last year, CP only beat Valpo by 5 points. This year, CP beat Valpo by 35 points. Penn, who beat Valpo by 17 points last year, barely scraped by with a 7-point win this season. Penn is 6-2 this year, with losses to Mishawaka (7-27) and Elkhart (3-7). Both Elkhart and Penn played New Prairie—Elkhart won by 3, while Penn won by 17. If a Penn/CP game happens, I think it will be a good game, however, I think it will be a MUCH different game than it was last year. If the Penn/Elkhart was a close game and Penn/Valpo was a close game, there is little reason to believe otherwise, especially with the New Prarie game for both teams. If CP makes it out of Sectional 1, then they will have to the winners of Sectional 2 for Sectional Finals, so Carroll, Elkhart, FW Northrop, or FW Snider. If CP is Sectional 1/2 Champion and moves on to Regionals, they will play the Sectional 3/4 Champion, so either Carmel, Harrison (West Lafayette), Westfield, Zionsville, Fishers, HSE, Homestead Noblesville. Last year, everyone thought CP would be out at Regionals, just like everyone thought that Brownsburg or Centergrove would go further. All those assumptions were wrong. In fact, CP dominated Regional game and Semi-state game, however, in the 2nd half they allowed way to many mistakes which allowed Penn and Westfield to get back into the game and make it too close for comfort. Hopefully, CP learned from the mistakes, and are stronger and better for it.

I’m not sure how the rest of the season will play out, but I think CP and Coach Buzea are ready to make some noise for the North. They’re hungry for it! If 

The amount of D1 commits from Crown Point is null and void. There are plenty of D1 recruits in the Indy area. Warren Central alone on defense is loaded with them and they are Power 5 D1 recruits.

You asked who from the North Bracket. How about Westfield. You know the team that it took Crown Point 2 OT’s to beat last year in Crown Point. They are better this year too and Crown Point is in a collision course with Westfield.

that Ben Davis team that Crown Point lost by 28 points to was lucky to come away with the win over Brownsburg (Brownsburg lead the whole game until they had poor decisions in the 4th qtr) Ben Davis won 28-25. Then in Regionals Ben Davis was fortunate to squeak out the win over Cathedral 27-24 (intercepted a pass in the end zone as time expired). Then in Seni-State it took Ben Davis OT to beat Center Grove 37-34. That is 3 teams from the Indy are that played Ben Davis within 3 points.

I don’t buy in to the travel excuse. If CP wanted to they would make it happen. Center Grove, Warren Central, Cathedral, Carmel, and Brownsburg have played teams in Cincinnati, Louisville, Detroit etc. well into the 2 hour to 2.5 hour travel. It’s a poor excuse.

i will say right now Lawrence North, Brownsburg, and Westfield are the best 3 teams in the State and 6A. The next tier would have Cathedral, Crown Point, Center Grove. I can 100% without a doubt tell you Crown Point has not seen the speed Lawrence North brings to the table Cathedral, Brownsburg, and CEnter Grove are right behind LN with the speed. LN isn’t just 1 or 2 guys with speed. It is every WR, their RB and their DB’s all very fast. They are very good and they have shown that the last 2 weeks

God forbid there is a very good football team from the North in 6A to challenge the Indy teams this year and post it on what I call the “Indianapolis” Gridiron Digest.

“You saw it here first….Crown Point will win 6A this year!”

You can’t come out of the gate with this proclamation and then start whining and claiming folks on here are biased in some way because they challenge you.

In just a couple of hours you’ve already backtracked from a guarantee to “whoever plays them is in for a four quarter fight” lol.

Miami of Ohio and Ball State?

Warren Central has a DE committed to LSU another DE committed to Louisville an OL committed to Iowa

Ben Davis has a DL committed to Illinois a CB committed to Notre Dame (and BD has struggled this year)

Fishers a WR committed to Stanford

Zionsville WR to Wisconsin 

Lawrence North commits to Miami of Ohio and Indiana

There are a slew of commits in Central Indiana to colleges.

Not backtracking at all. CP will win the North. You misunderstand like you usually do Temptation. CP will physucally impose their will on whoever they play for all 4 quarters.

I think the point being made is that Crown Point is better this year than last. Crown Point has improved every year since Craig Buzea took over. If that's true this year as well, Westfield will have their hands full. Anyone who can't see that there's an upside with Crown Point is blind.

Improvement only pertains to Crown Point got it.

Couldn’t Westfield be better this year than last year? Guess that win at Center Grove  doesn’t put a check on improvement. Or a close 17-13 loss at Brownsburg after losing 37-7 last year.

[Komets2727]

Just a couple observations here:

1. Did Crown Point just supplant Merrillville and their 45 D1 players? Asking for a friend…

2. I root like crazy for a North team to do well in 6A. I hope this is the year

3. Speed kills, CP better have 15 guys with speed or else it won’t matter what you do

4. MAC recruits are not Power 5 recruits. You better have top 10 talent D1 recruits with speed or else read #3 again and again until you get it

Aside from blowing out Pike in the sectional championship, Crown Point was BD’s easiest playoff game last year. Beat Brownsburg, Cathedral, and Center Grove all by 3 points each and believe had to come back to win in all 3 of them. I’m not sure Crown Point would have won a 6A south sectional last year.

Why do we keep going back to last year? Yes, there were more than a couple of teams from big bad Indy that would have beaten Center Grove. Any chance we can talk about 2024? Not just talking to you FK, it's you're whole group of Indy cronies.

Because the poster I responded too bragged about Crown Point “only” losing to Ben Davis by 28 last year. Ben Davis was a good team and deserving champion, but wasn’t close to a generational team.

I meant to say Crown Point, I think you understood that. I agree with you that Crown Point was, at best, the fourth best team in the state last year. But it's also hard to deny that CP keeps getting better under Buzea. Just because they lost to Ben Davis by 28, doesn't mean they'll lose to LN this year by 28. In fact, I'll be at that game hopefully sitting with Temp and Fastpace. You, Rodney, and Komets might want to join us.

Ben Davis deserved to win last year. They were phenomenal. And, It wasn’t bragging when i stated that CP lost by 28 points, it was stating a fact. I was at the game and I admitted that it was hard to watch and I admit it was not fun to see a team lose by 28 at state. temp stated that during regular season, Ben Davis beat their opponent on average by more than that. Again, everyone always talks about how SOS matters. So does SOS not matter for CP during their first ever state appearance when it was still less than the average for Ben Davis opponents? My original post was to state that the Indy people don’t even care to look at teams in the North. I was sharing facts as these teams get completely overlooked despite their impressive work this year.

Give us a reason to care about em…a 28 point moral victory doesn’t cut it.

CP is a strong potential opponent this year, and as it has been stated on this site have many unknowns surrounding their progress. This make them even more dangerous. Despite last year’s 28-point loss, they’ve shown significant improvement (but clearly isn’t known here) which means they shouldn’t be underestimated. Facing a team like CP not only challenges strengths but also prepares for high-pressure situations. With CP hunger for redemption and the unpredictability of their growth, CP poses a serious threat, and ignoring them could be a costly mistake.
