Elkhart Christian vs. Osceola Grace -- are they the same team?

[hhpatriot04]

Anyone from the Elkhart area know why in 2010 Sagarin rated a team called "Elkhart Christian." 

Almanac Sports has them playing Bowman once in August 2010, but Harrell lists this same game as Bowman Academy vs. Osceola Grace?

If memory serves me correctly, and it probably isn't, Elkhart Christian was trying to start a program around that time. They had a schedule but the coach was doing some unethical things in getting players so teams started dropping them and the program folded just as quick as it started. Osceola Grace is a entirely different program. I'm not sure on their history but I believe they started around the same time. Again, don't quote me as I could be entirely off base, but for some reason this was my recollection of events. I'm sure someone here has more insight into this. One thing I do know is that they are 2 different programs.

I'm going with Elkhart Christian played one game in 2010 against Bowman Academy. That's what AlmanacSports and Sagarin both show. 

Maybe Harrell assumed it was the same, or just got it wrong in his records.

Thanks for your info. I'll write an email to Harrell tonight.

FYI: I've gone through all of Harrell's records from 1994-2026 (around 50,000 games) and this is the only discrepancy I could find between his records and Sagarin's records.
