Especially enjoyed watching Evansville Memorial these last few years. Have not seen them over the years and they were a great looking team iver the past few seasons. great unis as well. They won a 4A championship with a low 3A enrollment. Thats what I like to see. Who would you rather watch on TV: D-I, or NAIA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past 4 years West Lafayette has beaten them 180 to 14. 180 to 14. That includes last year when they won the state championship in 1A. Got beat 50-0. You consider that "holding their own"? In the times that they moved up to 2A, I don't think they ever won a sectional. So how can a school that can't win at 2A compete at 3A? If the goal is to put them in 3A so that they would never win even a sectional, then I believe you that goal would be accomplished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the mantra of the GID and p/p schools in general? And what do you do on the flip side with schools like Frankfort, a 4A school with realistically a small 3A/2A talent base? Shouldn't they be able to play down in the 3A or 2A classification based on past performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Knights frequently hold their own, and more, in a Hoosier Conference filled with 3A schools. I'd wager that Frankfort could beat Indy Shortridge and Gary West too. I doubt that would suffice in your eyes as criteria for backing a belief that they should remain in 4A. Against 3A competition, LCC is 8-12 over the last two SF cycles, four years, against 3A teams with six of those wins coming against Northwestern and Benton Central. 47 minutes ago, Grandpa B said: I think you would agree that if LCC was in 3A they would be in the West Lafayette sectional.

They won a regional in 2014, but lost the second game of the sectional in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't they be able to play down in the 3A or 2A classification based on past performance? I figured that would be your response. We are miles apart when it comes to what we both believe is "fair". The 2.0 multiplier will ensure no PP schools win sectionals let alone State Championships wiht the possible exception of Cathedral. I absolutley believe that schools should be able to play down based upon what a "Unsuccess Factor". When I saw Attucks show up to play Roncalli in the Sectionals with 14 players, I immediately thought how wrong this is that they are having to play Roncalli. (different story in basketball as Attucks has had much success in the past couple of year - last year beat Cathedral - yes Cathedral). Team like your beloved Frankfurt (2 sectionals in the last 20 years), should be allowed to playdown. If we can come up with a formula to move teams up, we should be able to have a formula to move teams down. I think it is needed and would be a great idea and hope one day the IHSAA will implement it.

Lutheran and Heritage Christian would be 2 games for CC I would think their starters likely played all 4 quarters for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attucks should contract. No school should be allowed to play a varsity game with 14 players. Its dangerous, especially against a high level team We have previously proposed minimum roster size requirements by class, for the express purpose of maintaining competitive balance and avoiding serious injuries based on mismatches. The minimum roster size for Class A would be 22 Several players from Bishop Noll were seriously injured in these types of mismatches over the past few seasons. It impacts both PPs and publics.

I would hate to be the coach of a team who lets his kids loose and some 135 pound linebacker on the other side breaks his neck and becomes a quadrapalegic That Roncalli-Attucks matchup is where things like this happen.

And this is an honest question. You can mail that trophy to: Frankfort High School c/o Athletic Department 1 South Maish Rd, Frankfort, IN 46041 I'm sure it will put in a place of honor next to Frankfort's four state basketball championship trophies.

Didn't play in the regular season due to covid, but met in the first round of the sectional where Frankfort got blanked 29-0. The last time the Hot Dogs defeated the Tigers during the regular season was 2007. Edited November 25, 2020 by Muda69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready for this? I am in complete agreement. Teams should dress a minimum of 40 players for each game. If that can’t be met, forfeiture should apply.

Frontier's roster was only 25 this season and have started doing a nice job of rebuilding their program. Matter of fact, most of 1A dresses less than 40.

I didn’t mean to ruffle any feathers and will even admit South Newton needed to dress JV players to have a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer dressed right around 30 at semistate, but dressed as low as 26 I believe during the course of the season due to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
