Luers, Mater Dei, and Lutheran all benefit from being able to get way more students than say Prairie Heights or North White because of their location in highly populated metro areas. HOWEVER, this is about Danville and Chatard. Of course the Tri-West guy is trying to deter the conversation because he doesn't want to see either of these teams in his sectional or regional next year because Danville or Chatard have eliminated the Bruins from the playoffs the last 5 years... Tri-West guy wishes both teams could lose. But since that can’t happen, I’ll take a Warrior win over Chatard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it also depends on how you look at it. Mater Dei, for example, is in the position of charging $7,000+ for tuition and competing against schools nearby that are free. Mater Dei loses far more students from its own feeder schools to Reitz each year than it gains from the public grade schools. I would guess they maybe get 1-2 kids a year from public schools.

The problem in Evansville is that the Athletic director for all Evansville schools was the Central Head Coach for years. Talk about a conflict of interests. How many kids have all the Evansville schools lost to Central who has been uncharacteristically successful the last 4 seasons??? But those Mater Dei kids aren't choosing Reitz anymore... pretty sure they are coming to Memorial given the fall of Reitz coincides with the rise of Memorial. I could be wrong, but I don't think I'm far off. And I don't think Memorial is "recruiting" those kids, but Memorial has access to more students than say Norwell high school because Memorial is literally in the middle of Evansville. The argument is that public schools should be treated the same. But here's the catch, those public schools cannot control their enrollment where p/p schools can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you about the EVSC situation, but Mater Dei isn't losing kids to Memorial or anyone else but Reitz and to a much lesser degree, the charter school (Signature). Our football success of recent years has not translated to increased enrollment or transfers. We had a transfer from Bosse who came in after Christmas last year. In fact, our enrollment has dropped significantly over the last 4 years. We had 1 player this year (Weinzapfel) from the westside. His grandfather is Ralph and the whole family went to Memorial despite being from the St. Philips area. That is an unique and exceptionally rare instance.

Trojan Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Talk on Mater Dei, Reitz, and Tri-West. Either I missed the point of this thread, or there isn't a whole lot of interest in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I really don't either, but sticking to the blocking and tackling of life usually works out pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeqb Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Chatard as the visitors wear blue for the intro video. Danville brings 5 guys when the IHSAA says to bring 4. The rules don’t apply to these teams. Lol Looking forward to a good game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temptation Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Growing tiresome all season hearing about how “Public School X” has a great defense...and then they get carved apart immediately.

Boilernation Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 That’s a wrap. Not going to beat Chatard with 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Danville needs to get a little more creative with the offensive play calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvigo13 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Danville hadn't converted a 3rd down all game. And then don't on that drive either. And the coach thought it was a good idea to go for it on 4th down? They couldn't gain a yard on the play before. Offensive line of Danville is getting no push off the line.

One make them earn it and two Danville has stopped them or the score would already be worse. Chatard is already better don’t HELP them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
