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

Not sure we agreed on that.  But still less than 50% if we are counting New Pal.   And for the record, we in New Pal do not consider ourselves in the Metro Area. and no chance Western Boone is a Metro Area school.   4 of 18.

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.  

BD WC are in Marion county

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

Is Penn and Elkhart considered part of "da Region"?? Where does Terre Haute and New Albany/Jeffersonville areas fall??

I don't think "Region" extends into St. Joe County.

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. 

You know, I think my mind's been changed. Consistent local media (TV, newspaper) coverage of a school could justify calling it a "XYZ"-area school. Had not considered that argument yet.

Terre Haute - the Wabash Valley

New Albany/Jeff - metro Louisville

OK.  Just a hard time calling Western Boone and New Palestine as Metro Area.  But ok, 8 of 18.
