That is a fact....but so many on the league BOD are former youth players, and former players under Coach Moore during his early years here...many on the 2000 state runner-up team. Younger former players are already coaching...some with no kids in the league. Other former players with no kids help with significant sponsorships to fund the program. Ray Skillman's involvement and impact with the CGBFL has been beyond description. Coach Moore has been heavily involved since day 1, and still is. My prediction is that will remain even after he decides to do something else beside coach. There is a culture for football in the land of Troy. I don't worry one bit about the future......

Prime example of not overthinking it. Promote from within that very culture you speak of or being in someone (Mallory was mentioned by @DT) who understands it.

That's what were doing at LCC. I spent 18 years there and started before I even had boys. Many of the guys who coached with me stayed on with the youth program even after their boys had moved on to junior high, then high school, and even after they graduated. We had a guy who was a mainstay for a long time there, that had two girls and no boys, but spent over two decades coaching in the youth program. We also had LCC alums who stayed in the area and went to Purdue or Ivy Tech come out and help us coach while in college. If you can build that kind of culture, it's big. The interesting part at LCC was that, while the varsity coaches were always supportive of the youth program ... always lending players to come talk to the kids, coming out to watch the games, helping with the use of the varsity field for games, they always left the running of the youth program to the guys that had been doing it. As a courtesy, we'd always ask incoming coaches, if there's anything that they wanted us doing at that youth level and they all said, do what you've been doing, teach good/safe skills, and keep the kids engaged and having fun ... we'll teach them the plays when they get to varsity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge reason why LCC has been a premier program in the state for years. Its about culture, and that starts young and it continues on when people that have graduated from the program wish to come back and continue to invest. Yes, its about a feeder, but it beyond the feeder...its the level of involvement and the expectation for success that develops within the community. That is why I contend, there are a number of variables when it comes to sustained successful HS programs....and its way more than $$ and enrollment. As FB16 has stated and proven, those 2 variables by themselves do not guarantee success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason Warren Central (9), Ben Davis (9), and Carmel (9) have 27 state championships between them. Coincidence? I think not. Enrollment? Highly probable. Carmel and Warren Central rank 1 & 2 in enrollment. Ben Davis was 3 or 4 during their run of 9 championships. Let's not pretend that enrollment doesn't play and ENORMOUS factor. Ben Davis is larger than Warren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteEstonia Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Anyway, to pull this thread away from being a MIC thread- I do think that we shall see CI dissolve in a few short years, and shall See Southport go to the HCC, see BHSN go to the Hoosier Hills, and see BHSS and Columbus North join the Mid-State Conference.

As FB16 has stated and proven, those 2 variables by themselves do not guarantee success. “Expectation for success that develops within the community” leads to commitment by families in the community which is directly tied to affluence in the community. Took the long route but it still comes full circle. It IS more than money and enrollment but those are still 1-2.

I can get there with your statement... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
