Indianapolis sweeps the finals

[BTF]

Has this ever happened before? Anyway, congrats to Indianapolis. They have a stronghold on high school football. In all fairness, the 2A champ resides 23 miles from the edge of Indy.............call it what you want. I call it a clean sweep.

It’s in the “doughnut” (See other threads).

I guess I'm giving Indianapolis too much credit. Neither is Carmel, Zionsville, Westfield, or Avon.

If the local media sends a reporter to cover a contest on a regular basis, it counts.

WeBo, Center Grove, Danville, Zionsville and Westfield are not in Marion County but are considered Indy schools.

It’s definitely the frosting.

Not that it matters too much, but over the years in my business life I’ve had to generate market studies of the Indy Metropolitan area as regards population figures for lenders and investors.  For the purpose of those studies, the Indy Metropolitan area “officially” included all adjacent counties AND Madison County (Anderson).

Then yes, South Adams is a Fort Wayne area team. I was kidding with my last statement. If those teams aren't Indianapolis, then Homestead and Carroll aren't Fort Wayne.

So we have 4 distinct metro areas? Indy, Fort Wayne, Evansville and ‘da Region?

Yes indeed. South Bend.

South Bend seems to be dying.  What about the Louisville metro area?

I volunteer to be in charge of South Bend metro classifications.

I was thinking that myself.

Oh haven't you heard?  After the brilliant leadership of Pete Buttigieg, we are thriving now.  We even have two-way roads downtown!

Indy Metro population is 2.2M

State population is 6.2M

36% of state residents live in Indy Metro area

100% of football state championships have been won in Indy Metro.

Others areas are either underperforming, uninterested, or outclassed.

Pick 1.

I might take 4 of 5.  But NO WAY am I considering that those outside of Indy (other than underperforming) are: uninterested or outclassed.  

Only class 6A is the outlier that those outside of the Indy metro area, can even say in all honesty that they are "outclassed".  There aren't enough 6A teams in anything near a proximity to bring the level of competition to that Indianapolis has to offer.

and in the 3 years before this year, out of the 18 state champions, 3 came from Marion County?   In the Metro area 4 (Ben Davis, Warren, Carmel and Chatard).  4 of 18.

Looks like Covid had a much bigger impact on the non Indy areas of the state

Both schools sit on/across the street from the city limits.

I guess we’ve established that doughnut county schools are “metro” area. So that’s 8 of 18.
