Schools looking for a win after a winless 2025 (and prior). Predictions for 2026?

[Muda69]

Here are the Indiana High School football squads that finished winless in 2025, and their current losing streak:

Portage  -  11
Fort Wayne Wayne - 11
Mt. Vernon (Fortville) - 12
Terre Haute North - 13
New Albany - 16
Bellmont - 42
Prairie Heights - 11
Hammond Central - 12
Evansville Bosse - 21
Blackford - 16
West Vigo - 11
North Vermillion - 11
Frankfort - 29 
South Central (Union Mills) - 11 
Pike Central - 13
Benton Central - 21
Perry Central - 11
Christal House - 12
Cambridge City Lincoln -  18

Of these moribund programs who have the best change of "turning it around" and having at least a .500 season in 2026?

It kinda shocks me that Mt. Vernon Fortville has fallen so far, but with Coach Kirschner back I expect they will recover.

I would add Bellmont as another shocker. Past state champion who has lost 42 in a row?

New Albany had their first ever winless season last year.

North Vermillion will get some wins this year.  New head coach Nate Crum and Payton Hendershot brothers Bryce & Austin Hendershot now on staff.  Should be a much better year.

They would be wise to schedule each other wherever possible.  Guaranteed way to remove some from the board.
