Just curious on peoples thoughts! Fun topic. I don't know enough teams/players to include the best of the best. But using all-state/all-conference teams, here is what I could come up with for the "all-star small school team"... QB - Brady Allen (Gibson Southern) RB - Ryan Walsh (Andrean) WR - Cannon Melchi (West Lafayette), Noble Johnson (Parke Heritage), Bryant Boggs (Wabash), Drew Stutzman (South Adams) TE - Jacob Strange (West Washington) OL - Braden Tucker (Gibson Southern), Joe Strickland (Brebeuf Jesuit), Jaxon Miller (Triton Central), Tristen Hayes (Oak Hill), Dylan Mathena (Tell City) DL - Antwann Dix (Cardinal Ritter), Mo Omonode (West Lafayette), Blake Ritzert (Mt. Vernon), James Ralph (Evansville Mater Dei) LB - Lucas Hines (Brownstown Central), Hayden Kermode (Triton Central), Hayden Karlaftis (West Lafayette) DB - Lane Burns (Eastside), Grant Bell (Sullivan), Isaiah Dalton (Eastbrook), Peyton Wert (Milan) To answer your question, yes. I think this small school all star team could compete or beat Center Grove. But it would be close. Quote

Just curious on peoples thoughts! I'm going to guess with 85,000+ kids (boys and girls, based off school enrollment numbers for 192 schools) to field a team, they could come up with some competition. Lets say each school get 45 kids out, that would be over 8600 kids on a team. Edited September 1, 2020 by Cappy Quote
tango Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 I agree, but team would need a mobile QB... Quote

JustRules Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 If you had the pick of all the 1A-3A teams and the opportunity for them to work together for several weeks to put in a full offense and defense, absolutely. It's a little different comparison, but many of the D3 schools are loaded with 4A and blow kids and they would easily beat the top high school teams in the state. 1 Quote

Pence is ineligible. 4A player. Although the school is darn near 2A enrollment at 550. 28 minutes ago, psaboy said: Allen is not mobile??

hhpatriot04 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 There have been years the best 3A team would've given the best currently 6A teams a challenge. 1999 Roncalli and 2003 Chatard come to mind. If not, they didn't need much more to be as good...certainly not the rosters of all 1-3A teams. It will probably never happen but change the all-star game to 1-4A vs 5-6A. 1 Quote

For our indoor track season they split the schools 1-3a and 4-6a for the state finals. I wouldn't hate to see two all-star games set up like that with the current North vs South set-up. Quote

We participated as our first event in the meet at IU, but I believe that was Heritage Hills' only indoor meet. Quote

All of the meets are qualifiers for the "state meet" at IU. Typically its the first three weeks of March and then done. I equate it to the scrimmaging we are allowed to do in the summer now for football (non-covid years). 1 Quote
hhpatriot04 Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Do some of the better track programs in the state participate in any out of state or in state indoors competitions? Where are there indoor tracks besides IU, Purdue, and Notre Dame? ISU? Quote

If I recall (from my childhood going to basketball camp), the University of Evansville has a track that encircles 2-3 basketball courts. I don't think it would be long enough to do the 60-meter dash. It might not even still be there, that was 25 years ago or so. Jim Crews era... right around the time they got rid of football (one of the biggest losses to SW Indiana HS football). Quote
