Guest DT Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 It's not a Carmel issue There are many schools with enrollments between 3000-4000. Those are mega schools too The Lawrence schools are competing with 25 to 50% fewer students against this group of schools. Carmel is an outlyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 9. 2 of those would not be candidates for the MIC due to their location. At least 1 would not be able to compete in the MIC football talent wise. No change necessary.

JustRules Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 DT started this thread because he wanted to get everyone's underwear in a wad and it worked. Of course this is a ridiculous idea. LN and LC fit very well in the MIC both geographically and demographically. They compete in most sports. They're records aren't great in the MIC but they get wins most years and are competitive in their losses. The coaches and athletes love being in the most competitive conference in the Midwest. There has been chatter about combining the schools but I'm not sure how serious it is. I hope they never do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t need to make anything up. I was an employee in a MIC school when the conference was formed and part of an oversight committee to determine if this was the right fit.

crimsonace1 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Not to feed the trolls on what is and has been a dumb, throw a stupid idea against the wall and see what sticks topic, but LC & LN are both Sagarin Top 25 teams this year. They're competitive programs, but the MIC is a great conference. And of course, there are more sports than football (which our thread starter appears to not realize), and LC & LN both hold their own in several sports. Both have *recent* state championships on their resumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girls basketball team that won the state title two years ago? (In hoops, a MIC team has played for a state title three straight years. Girls: Pike was the runner-up in 2017, WC the state champ in 2018 & LN the runner-up in 2019; Boys: BD won in 2017, WC beat Carmel in 2018 & Carmel beat BD in 2019). Add in Center Grove playing for the football title this year, and that's six of eight MIC schools having played for a major sport state title in the last three years. (Add to that, LC has won state titles in track & football this decade; and North Central has state titles in five different sports, including boys & girls hoops, this decade, and swept the state track titles this spring).

Both Center Grove & Lawrence Central have won football state titles this decade and Lawrence North is a traditional basketball power, so they seem to hold their own despite "only" having 2,000+ students each.

Numbers don't necessarily equate to athletic greatness. There's no need for any changes unless the schools decide they need to change. They're not going to listen to someone singing sour grapes from another region of the State. Exactly! All they can do is help. I’d rather have a well-seasoned coach and hungry players any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Warren's Girls sports do not win many state championships the Girl Baskball team captured state in 2017 and the Track Team is always ranked high in the state and has won at least 4 state titles since 2000.
