Wink58 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hello, with the new enrollment numbers out. Can anyone remind me how 5a will go this time? How about a new update on success factor schools. The IHSAA looks a year old on data. If you know who is playing up or getting moved down please add to this post. For instance, Chatard is stated to be 4A for 2022-23 on https://www.ihsaa.org/Portals/0/ihsaa/documents/Tournament Success Factor/Football Success Totals 2019-20 2020-21.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Harvey Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 First time in a while 5a will have no success factor teams. New Pal will move down to 4a and Cathedral up to 6a. Cathedral moving up means Harrison will be the first team in 5a and Greenfield will bump down to 4a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLCTigerFan07 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 With the meeting's minute notes stating "Point totals from 2020-21 and the current school year will be used to determine Tournament Success Factor movement." I believe this is what that file would/will look like for at least 5A and 4A: Where it's going to get tricky is for Chatard, Western Boone, and Lafayette Central Catholic. All three of those schools were bumped up THIS season for their Success Factor Points from the 2019-20 and 2020-2021 seasons. But if the IHSAA is going to use 2020-21 and 2021-22 Success Factor Points to determine what schools get bumped up this time... will those 3 schools points be from two different classes? Neither Chatard (4A) or Western Boone (3A) won their sectional this past season, and LCC (2A) won a sectional worth 1 point. I am thinking all three of those teams will get sent down to their previous class, unless they stay due to enrollment (which could be close for Western Boone). Here is what I think the rest of the classes will look like: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLCTigerFan07 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Funny observation after putting this stuff together, if Roncalli and Mt Vernon hadn't split their back to back Regional matchups, one or the other would have ended up in 5A this upcoming cycle.

scarab527 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I think any team who’s only been bumped up for this past year should stay up for this next cycle. I just don’t think it makes logical sense to bump teams up and make other teams stay up because of the past two years and then let other teams bump down based off one year. As most people on here said at the time, IHSAA screwed this whole thing up last year by applying the success factor but not reclassifying enrollments. Now you’re going to have some schools feeling slighted no matter what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe that Chatard and LCC - who are two of the teams the SF was created for (let’s not kid ourselves otherwise) would be allowed to drop back after one year. They have shown once before to re-write the rules to prevent Cathedral from dropping down. I expect that to happen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonace1 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 One thing the IHSAA could do, since there's one bumped-to 4A (Chatard), 3A (WeBo) and 2A (LCC) school in this situation and by my count 317 football-playing schools. Put those three in their current classes for this year, so 4A would have 64 schools and the others 63 each. If they get their two points, they stay up for next year. If they don't, they drop back down next year. Design the sectionals so they can drop back with little disruption (e.g., Chatard move into WeBo's sectional, WeBo into LCC's, create a 7-team sectional in 1A where LCC would go).

crimsonace1 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 One thing - putting 4A South together is going to be a headache because Madison & South Dearborn both moved to 3A and you have a bunch of schools on islands (East Central, Jennings County, Silver Creek, BNL, Northview, Edgewood). The IHSAA has to figure out what it's going to do with the southeastern part of the state especially, and then can put the rest of the state together. There are 24 schools in 4A in the Region (6 teams), SB/Elkhart area (8 teams) and the Fort Wayne area (10 teams). That's three sectional fields. Sectional 20 is a challenge. You have Logansport-Kokomo-Western-Marion-Mississinewa (and likely Muncie Central) who will almost assuredly be together. Of the remaining schools, do you put two of Jay County, Frankfort or Pendleton Heights with them? - and the key to that is what you do with Connersville, East Central and Shelbyville (do you send them in with Richmond/New Castle/Mt. Vernon/New Pal/Greenfield ... if so, then where does Jennings County go? If not, JC & Frankfort likely go north, PH goes into its old sectional and Shelby likely stays in). There are 7 in SW Indiana. The issue then comes as to which "island" school do you group with them - Silver Creek, Northview or BNL? That, then, is the key to the rest of the southern 5 sectional fields and how you split them up. And one other question - is Chatard part of 4A or not? That could be another key.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Maybe one minor issue - like what if WeBo drops because they lose in sectional but LCC wins regional and stays? So maybe it’s something like 4A 22 - 8 teams including Chatard. 3A 28 - 7 teams including WeBo. 2A 37 - 7 teams including LCC. They showed last time two completely different brackets for two years with Carmel being North and South over a 2 year span that it would not be impossible.

With that, all 3 move back to enrolment based class. 10 minutes ago, oldtimeqb said: That actually makes a lot of sense.

The sectionals will be completely different... At least sectional 37... Speedway moves up to 3A because of enrolment Seeger appears to be on the border of 2A/1A, Webo appears to be on the border of 3A/2A. All the sectionals will be completely different... Look at 3A now, you have Andrean, Evansville Mater Dei, and Bishop Luers all moving up because of enrolment... That will have an affect on the sectionals in both 2A & 3A.

It's not like we're deciding between Angola and an Evansville school). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be another key. 4A South has been a headache for recent classifications. Marion or Muncie Central have both been "south" over the last 4-5 years. Based on the numbers posted it looks like Brebeuf and Evansville Bosse are moving up to 4A and BNL is moving down to 4A, which adds some south flexibility. I also imagine Chatard will be there too. IF Bosse drops (and I'm still not sold on that, there have been issues in the past with their counts) that means Northview is free to be moved somewhere else. Greenwood, Beech Grove, Martinsville, and Mooresville are probably a block that stays together IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjay Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 All 3 (Chatard, WeBo, and LCC) should have to stay up. If they don’t then the IHSAA has no balls and the success factor is useless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct- and to my understanding - the SF is suppose to be a 2 year window, correct? SO, if SR does not accumulate any SF points in the upcoming football season, we can move back down for the 23 season? Potentially, SR/Pioneer get 3 years stays without accumlating any SF points, and Chatard/LCC get 1 year passes? Got it- makes a ton of sense.

Granted, I'm not a smart guy, so I'll try and lay this out (football years listed) 17- Won State 18- Semi-State appearance 19&20 - bumped up due to SF 19- sectional loss (no points) 20- semi-state appearance 21&22 - stay up due to semi-state appearance 21- sectional loss 22- ?? 23 - ??

So, as stated previously - that is a 3 year stay based on the SF? It's hard to follow how you laid it out, so let me try a different way. I believe technically, it's going to be a 6 year stay, all based on the 2020 Regional Championship while in 3A. The 6 points accumulated from the 2017 and 2018 seasons in 2A bumped them up to 3A. In the next two-year cylce, 2 points were accumulated thanks to the Regional Championship in 2020. So NO MATTER WHAT - Southridge was going to stay in 3A for the 2021 and 2022 seasons. So next year playing in 3A would have happened COVID be damned. However, it looks like that 2020 Regional Championship will keep Southridge in 3A for the 2022 and 2023 seasons as well. So I see what you are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SF is a 2-year cycle, but the last enrollment cycle was a three-year one because of COVID screwing with the enrollment numbers. Because SR & Pioneer's latest regional title came in what will now be the *first* year of the new two-year cycle, they'll get an extra year. New Pal & a couple other schools drop back down a year early, too. Someone is going to benefit and someone's going to stay up an extra year. You're not going to come up with a system that pleases everyone. As I read the IHSAA's notes on their Success Factor page, what I think will be the only mid-cycle adjustment will be Chatard, WeBo & LCC will stay up for the first year of the cycle and move back down. But that's a stab and hasn't been confirmed with the IHSAA. Southridge may be moving up on enrollment in 2024 as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While LCC and Chatard get to move back down (maybe) That makes a ton of sense. And you're more than likely right about enrollment- but at 517 would have liked one last go around in 2A instead of an extra SF year. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
