Question mark is Central and how they will overcome the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memorial ranked 10th? Jasper unranked? Wow! Not much love for us down here. Castle was a semi state team a year ago and I expect them to improve from last year. Jasper will be very good as well, maybe not what they were a year ago but not far from it. And Memorial at 10 is a joke to me but what does a Llama know?

And Memorial at 10 is a joke to me but what does a Llama know? I saw the 2A preseason rankings first, and thought that was a good place for MD at 3. Then I saw the other ones and was very surprised. I think Memorial should be around the Top 7 mark, Jasper Top 10. Then Castle in the Top 10 too. I do think if North does have a good season, they will be ranked sometime too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tango Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Ev. Memorial is a 3A playing up in 4A, with less than 550 students, so being ranked at all is a surprise if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of data to show P&Ps in our state (when coupled with quality coaching, tradition, support etc.) consistently punch far above their weight class vs what their enrollment number alone might indicate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could make for an even tougher sectional - along with Ev and Bton Norths. 2. Sloan Cox is listed as a player to watch. There were some rumblings that he might not play for the Knights this year. I guess that was just a rumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first point stood out too me, since the #1 player in the State/ IU Commit Dasan McCullough and his brother are both on Bloomington South. Which should cause a lot of problems with Castle this year. Even Bloomington North should be a little tough too. Though I am high on a Castle postseason, they could be bounced after the first round depending their opponent. Your second point is another well one too. And could be a big hit on Castle if the rumors are true, due to OT Virgin transferring to Gibson Southern Edited July 26, 2021 by TigerFan20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screagle Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Interesting Castle hasn’t won the siac in 9 years. Biggest school, most resources, and 1st every year in siac all around sports trophy. Head scratcher IMO. It would be different if they didn’t have good numbers with some dudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradise1960 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Under Coach John Lidy, who coached Castle for 30 years, Castle only won the SIAC title 4 (5) times. 1975 SIAC "B" - did not include the city teams 1982 - 3A State Champions 1983 1984 - Co-Champions - tied with Mater Dei. Both teams did not play each other that year 2002 Not sure what is meant by having the most resources. They don't even have field turf. There seems to be more to it than meets the eye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in terms in SIAC titles they are 7th overall All time top 10 Reitz- 29 Memorial- 14 Central- 11 Tell City- 9 Mater Dei- 8 Bosse- 8 Castle- 7 Jasper- 7 Harrison- 6 Boonville- 3 I do find it very surprising that Bosse has more titles than Castle, probably due to their early 90’s teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A source tells me that Sloan is getting Division I track interest after a strong junior year. I've seen plenty of FB guys take the track route through college to avoid the pounding on the body, especially linemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the first SIAC to win a playoff state title and had the the most (2) for a long time until Reitz and Memorial won theirs. A couple of months ago I heard this mentioned and I did not believe it when I heard that Mater Dei had more SIAC titles than Castle and had to go look it up. (Mater Dei did not win their first SIAC until 1984, so 4 years after Castle was folded into single division SIAC with the rest of the city schools) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
