Nobody could even stop Thompson I played against both of them in high school and as a CG kid growing up back then the hilljacks over there was one of our biggest rivals. Man those where some fun games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they play in a conference against schools with 3-5 times their enrollment. You're taking the list too literal. I think he just threw that list out there as a starting point. No one's forgotten about Luers and their 11 state titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Merrillville as a case in point? If they historically played schools of similar size, they might have 1 or 2 state titles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's forgotten about Luers and their 11 state titles. You are absolutely correct. It was a starting point. Blue rings identify the top of the house, no doubt, but it’s only part of the story. The list from JH’s site is pure wins versus losses. It is important to put value to those programs who win a lot of games from year to year. Also, another stat that should compliment the full data set is what was the enrollment trend for those “successful” schools during the same time period. Maybe the most successful programs are the ones who were challenged with declining enrollment while still winning games and championships?

Not sure how there can be a better barometer for success than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
