Hoosier Highschool Football - New Conference Proposal


Guest

Recommended Posts

As a means to continue to improve the overall level of high school football in Indiana, to continue to push for the drive to maintain competitive balance, to improve the level of community support and live game attendance, and to address the increasing expenses of long distance athletic event travel, Hoosier Highschool Football endorses the creation of a new athletic conference designed to achieve these objectives.

This 8 school conference is yet to be named:

Kokomo  4A

Jefferson  6A

Harrison  5A

WLF      3A

McCutcheon 5A

Western  4A

Lebanon  4A

Logansport  4A

HHF believes that all of these schools have a high level of commitment to high school football, have high quality and experienced staffs, solid feeder programs, a willingness to invest in necessary additional resources, and enjoy strong administrative, community, fan and alumni support.

While you never say never, there is a long tradition in the NCC, and football is not a real priority there. Basketball rules the roost in that league and always will. 

There may be a day when some of the eastern NCC schools - especially Richmond and maybe Muncie Central or Anderson - break away and form a new league, but I'm not sure Western and West Lafayette want to get into a league with big 5A and 6A schools.

West Lafayette has already scheduled Jeff in the past and also plays McCutcheon regularly.  They are scheduled to play Harrison this year.  They also play Western fairly regularly as well ... two seasons on, two seasons off.  Outside of Lebanon, I'm not sure that the proposed new league give WL any more than a greater opportunity for injuries which could derail a season. 

Folks claim that West Lafayette needs to "toughen up" to make a deeper run, but realize that, with the exception of 2020, WL tends to drop their season to the eventual north representative at LOS and their last seven seasons have resulted in a blue ring or were ended by a p/p:

  • 2021 - Lost 24-14 to state runner up Brebeuf
  • 2020 - Anomaly season losing to Guerin 20-18
  • 2019 - Lost to state champ Chatard 42-14 who beat Heritage Hill 34-3 at LOS
  • 2018 - Won state
  • 2017 - Lost 13-10 to state runner up Brebuef
  • 2016 - Lost to state champ Concordia, 62-27, who beat Lawrenceburg 56-14 at LOS
  • 2015 - State runner up losing to Chatard 31-7

WL yawns thru the vast majority of their regular season schedule.  Nearly every conference game is over at halftime.  Is that really good for the long term health of the program?  

With a stronger regular season slate, you might be looking at 2 or 3 more state titles during that 7 year span.

Im surprised this conference hasnt blown apart already.

The east is incredibly weak in football (Richmond/Anderson/Muncie/Tech) and all of the momentum falls with the schools that are in the new conference proposal.  

Marion, Muncie, Richmond, Tech and Anderson should break away and form their own conference (Keep the NCC name)  , and play a home and home schedule in football, which would use up 8 games per year on the regular season schedule.
