The issue in 6A North with Cathedral in 6A is at least two teams between Zionsville, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers, HSE and Carmel will HAVE to go to sectionals 1-3 somewhere. There are only 10 schools north of those schools, so 2 will have to go that way for their sectionals. My best guess is the "northern" most of that grouping is Noblesville and Westfield. Noblesville has been in a sectional with Fort Wayne schools in the past, so that makes sense for them to definitely be 1 of the schools heading WAY north. Westfield having to go a long way up Highway 31 to be included in Sectional 3 seems crazy, but the only other logical option would be to send Zionsville up Highway 65 with Laf Jeff and 2 region schools.

2 options as I see it:

Sectional 1: Crown Point, Lafayette Jeff, Lake Central, Portage
Sectional 2: Elkhart, Penn, Warsaw, Westfield
Sectional 3: Carroll (FW), Homestead, Noblesville, Northrop
Sectional 4: Carmel, Fishers, Hamilton SE, Zionsville

Sectional 1: Crown Point, Lafayette Jeff, Lake Central, Zionvsille
Sectional 2: Elkhart, Penn, Portage, Warsaw
Sectional 3: Carroll (FW), Homestead, Noblesville, Northrop
Sectional 4: Carmel, Fishers, Hamilton SE, Westfield

Anything different than either of these two options would come from breaking up schools that normally the IHSAA has not done in the past. Something crazy like this could work, but doesn't seem likely

Sectional 1: Crown Point, Lake Central, Penn, Portage
Sectional 2: Elkhart, Lafayette Jeff, Northrop, Warsaw
Sectional 3: Carroll (FW), Fishers, Hamilton SE, Homestead
Sectional 4: Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville

See what I mean? That's just really messy. I think they obviously keep these "pods" together when it comes to the North

Lake Central and Crown Point (2)
Penn and Elkhart (2)
Carroll, Homestead and Northrop (3)
Fishers and HSE (2)

That's 9 of 16 6A North schools that I feel like the IHSAA always trieds to keep together. Another random options could be:

Sectional 1: Crown Point, Lake Central, Penn, Portage
Sectional 2: Elkhart, Carroll (FW), Homestead, Northrop
Sectional 3: Lafayette Jeff, Noblesville, Warsaw, Westfield
Sectional 4: Carmel, Fishers, Hamilton SE, Zionsville

I think Cathedral is in 6A if the IHSAA realigns this spring for the 22-23 and 23-24 cycle.  Wouldn’t be surprised if they take the cowardly stance of saying let’s go 1 more year with frozen enrollments.

Here’s what I see for 6A:

Sectional 1: Lake Central, Crown Point, Portage, Lafayette Jeff

Sectional 2: Penn, Elkhart, Warsaw, Homestead

Sectional 3: Carroll, FW Northrop, Hamilton Southeastern, Fishers

Sectional 4: Noblesville, Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville

Sectional 5: Cathedral, Lawrence Central, Lawrence North, North Central

Sectional 6: Avon, Ben Davis, Brownsburg, Pike

Sectional 7: Perry Meridian, Southport, Arsenal Tech, Warren Central

Sectional 8: Center Grove, Columbus North, Franklin Central, Jeffersonville

I would switch Carroll and Homestead in this scenario. Carroll is more NE of Fort Wayne and could hope on US 33 to Elkhart faster, and Homestead is closer to I-69 to head south.

One correction to make - I didn’t have Christel House Manual in my first post.  I also added enrollment rank.

305    Indianapolis Manual    225
 

I still messed this up. Added Christel House and didn’t take out Indy Manual.  There should be 316 schools.  32 in 5A and 6A.  Probably 63 in each class for 1A-4A.

Purdue Poly is on the east side of downtown Indy on Washington Street.  They probably have quite a few students from the former Indianapolis Howe that didn’t want to go to Arsenal Tech after Howe closed.  If the Howe campus is available it would make a lot of sense to move this school there.

Purdue has invested a lot of money in the building where they are. Not sure how that might factor moving to Irvington.

Makes a lot of sense. That means that they'll probably put Ben Davis in with Sectional 8 and Center Grove in Sectional 6.

You're joking right? There's no reason why the IHSAA would put Ben Dvais in Sectional 8 and move Center Grove to Sectoinal 6 unless I'm completely missing something here. Sorry if I am.

IHSAA just rubber stamps the recommendations of the alignment committees. The committees are usually made up of AD’s or administrators from schools in that class, so all it would take is one person on the alignment committee that doesn’t want Ben Davis in their path.  If, for example, a Warren Central admin is on the 6A committee and decides they don’t want to play both BD and CG in the tournament, putting them in the same sectional solves that problem.  And don’t think it hasn’t happened.  It does in almost every alignment cycle.

Sectional of Death comes to mind.

If I am wrong please some one tell me.   These are the numbers for 9thru12 of this year?  If so I do not understand why they would count the seniors class.   For the ishaa  to assign rankings for what level the school is at for each sport.  Would it not make more since to go 8true11 to get the numbers

Doesn’t work when you have open enrollment.

I do understand open enrollment changes some stuff a little but I would say that 98% of most kids will go to the high school that is the same system as the middle school

Yeah but take Columbus for example. There are two middle schools (Central and Northside). Neither of them are assigned to a particular high school. Most kids that attend Northside go to Columbus North but not all do. Just like most kids that go to Central go to Columbus East but not all do. Add in St. Peter’s Lutheran and St. Bartholomew Catholic which are K-8. Neither of them are assigned to a particular high school. So that’s where issues arise.

Finally released by the DOE.  Schools with an * do not report enrollments to the DOE, so their numbers are just what the IHSAA has in their directory and may not be current.  Enrollments only include students in grades 9-12.  Probably not perfect, but it should give an idea what the next alignment would be based off of.

Dugger Union will become tourney eligible in 22-23, and Purdue Polytechnic will become tourney eligible in 23-24, so they are both included.

In my opinion, the most shocking and saddest of these enrollment numbers is Griffith High at 609. I'm not sure they've ever had that low of enrollment in recent history (2 or 3 decades). They've always hovered in the small 4A, big 3A range. For Griffith to be considered a small 3A is mind boggling for a guy from the region.

Griffith was at 823 in the most recent IHSAA classification count.

609 represents a 26% drop in enrollment over a 2 to 3 year period.  Probably only Indy Tech is close to that % of drop.

For those who wish that Griffith would have never left the NCC for the GSSC, this is what the Griffith planners were anticipating when they made the move to downsize their athletic programs.

If this has been expected for a little while now (enough so to move to a smaller conference) - what are the driving forces here? I realize Griffith is kind of landlocked surrounded by Merrillville, Munster, Highland and the Hammond schools, but at the same time, to me that would mean their enrollment would stay rather consistent?
