Brownsburg/Ben Davis...natural rivalry Warren/Avon...Orioles have conquered BD two consecutive times, time to go after the other big boy in town Carmel/Fishers...natural geographic rival Lawrence North/HSE...they already compete for the same kids Lawrence Central/Noblesville...two brand new regimes trying to climb out of the cellar Zionsville/Pike...juicy coaching headlines plus natural geography Franklin Central/Center Grove...FC needs to put its big boy pants on eventually Westfield/North Central...the battle of Keystone/Meridian Good lineup. I might show up for that one. Give me a taste of football outside the Fort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are spending 7 million (double what Dwenger spent on theirs) and will seat 6500. If it's not ready, then it should be played at Spuller stadium. Old, but very efficient with ample parking, seating, concessions, and bathrooms. Easy access for those coming down US 30 or for those taking the toll road to 69 south. Plus they are sporting a new turf field. No more "mud bowls." I'm still haunted from 1997.............arguably Snider's best team ever. The next tier would be interesting, but who do you eliminate out of the SAC? I'll pick on South Side since they seem to be having their share of problems. Northrop is a 6A school who won't want to be left out. Concordia and Luers are both competitive and always dangerous. Wayne just landed one of the better coaches in the state, so look for them to make noise in 5A in the near future. North Side is hit or miss, normally miss. But they seem to be excited about the team they are putting on the field this year. They have a D1 quarterback (transferred from Snider.......not sure of the details). Taylor was dismissed from program I believe for an off field conduct issue if I recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules are rules at Snider. The program takes them seriously. He's not the first D1 caliber athlete to be dismissed from the program (given your information is correct). Good luck to the young man at North Side. He was blessed with a second chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my info is correct, but no reason to rehash. Wish him well, from what I've heard he is good athlete, always like to see kids get second chance, succeed and have opportunity to move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play it at Lafayette Jefferson's extravagant Scheumann Stadium. That wouldn't be much fun. Those bottom feeders in the NCC couldn't beat average 2a teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Beaver Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 With the way things are going Indiana football might be the only game in town. Looks like Big ten is going to spring and Big Five is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegionFBFan Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Two horse race in DAC. Merrillville is absolutely loaded. 6-7 D1 players. Great size and skill players. Valpo is going to be great as well. Valpo has great size but the skill players aren't on the same level as Merrillville. Edge to Valpo in coaching. I'll go with Merrillville. Two horse race in NCC as well. Hobart and Andrean. Both teams return a lot of starters from last year and both have some D1 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
