Good luck to him. I will be interested to see how this goes for him.

Congrats to Coach Cooper. Hopefully he can get things turned around!

Unpopular opinion:  Perry and Southport should go the IPS route and combine for football and create another mega school that can compete with the big boys...

Suit yourself.  History doesn’t lie.

Neither will ever compete at the 6A level.

Both are in 6A purgatory.

And both would have new life in the 6A two divisional alignment.

Ben Davis’ enrollment with just under Pike’s F/R/L = powerhouse.

Outside of Ben Davis, Warren Central, Carmel and Center Grove nobody else in 6A is "competing" in 6A either.  Should the other 28 schools in 6A all merge with somebody too?

Not everybody else...maybe LN/LC though.  

Same township...same predicament.

Isn't Perry the single most negatively  impacted school by Roncalli football?

Both Perry and Southport are most affected by Roncalli Football. 4 Roncalli feeder schools are in Perry Township. Greenwood, Beech Grove, and Franklin Central are probably the other schools affected.

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

I really don't know how much anymore though but there definitely are a few St. Francis/St. Claire/OLG kids at Roncalli who'd go to CG.  The two Schott boys for CG as well as Hoffman, a RB, both are "Roncalli" kids.

Just guessing, but perhaps the Franklin Townships Schools over the years have become athletic magnets :

Southport - basketball

Franklin Central - Football

Perry Meridian - Wrestling

Could this possibly explain PM longterm difficulties with football?  Then add the Roncalli element.

Being honest any Roncalli students that attended South Deanery Elementary Schools: Holy Name, OLG, SS Francis and Claire of Assisi, Central Catholic, Nativity, St. Barnabas, St. Jude, St. Mark, St. Roch, Lumen Christi were never going to be students at Southport, Perry Meridian, CG, Greenwood, Beech Grove, Franklin, Franklin Central, or IPS. So really they aren't losing those kids they already knew they weren't going to be at those schools.

Truth!

Roncalli has had several major incidents recently. But religion is all about faith so the Roncalli families will continue sending their children there & use that faith in the belief that the school gets their act together.

Glad my nephew is a commoner who goes to Franklin Central.

Kids that are in Catholic elementary schools might eventually show up in public high school classrooms, but I don't think the term feeder school applies.  Kids in Catholic elementary schools are in feeder schools early on for the Catholic high schools.  Similarly, those are kids that probably have never been factored into the equation to begin with.  It's definitely likely that there are more kids leaving the Catholic elementary school system for public school systems as time moves along, especially compared to the number that would leave the public school system for the Catholic school system.  But I don't think that either of those qualify as feeder designation for the other.
