I went back and forth on this game on the pick'ems and obviously I went the wrong direction.

I’ve been looking at the HHC teams’ schedules as well as Bloomington South’s to try and figure out how the conference schedule could look next year. The easy fix would be to plug Bloomington South into the spot Madison once occupied in the HHC schedule. This would ensure all teams get three home games and three road games in conference play. Here’s what that would look like.

 

Potential 2027 Bloomington South Schedule

Week 1: Bloomington North

Week 2: Martinsville

Week 3: at Floyd Central

Week 4: Jeffersonville

Week 5: Greenfield-Central

Week 6: at New Albany

Week 7: Columbus East

Week 8: at BNL

Week 9: Seymour

 

This would give South six home games and three road games. Terre Haute North, Muncie Central, Columbus North, Ironton (OH), Brebeuf Jesuit, and Center Grove would all be dropped from the schedule as those games are during the weeks South would be playing HHC teams. However, I could easily see Greenfield-Central being dropped and Columbus North being moved up from week 6 to week 5 to take their place. With Columbus North being independent and with this being a classic rivalry, it would make logical sense. In doing so, the game would be at Columbus North next year since South is hosting them this year. This would mean South would have five home games and four road games instead.

If South plugs into Madison’s old spot on the HHC schedule then BNL will be removing Scottsburg from their schedule in week 8, Columbus East will be removing Chatard in week 7, Floyd Central will be removing Silver Creek in week 3, Jeffersonville will be removing Kokomo in week 4, New Albany will be removing Silver Creek in week 6, and Seymour will be removing Crispus Attucks in week 9. Considering the travel distances or the outmatched nature of most of these games, I think the HHC teams would be willing to drop these teams.

The only exception would be New Albany having to give up Silver Creek, but that could easily be fixed with moving that game to week 3. Floyd Central would be giving up Silver Creek that week to make room for Bloomington South, and it would be more advantageous for New Albany to remove Brownstown Central from that week and play Silver Creek instead. Doing so would mean New Albany would go from a five home and four away game split to a four home and five away game split. Silver Creek would then need to find a week 6 replacement and would have two HHC options if BNL would be willing to drop Jennings County or if Jeffersonville would be willing to drop Connersville.

Given the distance between Jeff and Connersville, as well as the regional rivalry (per se) of Jeff and Silver Creek, I think the latter of the two options makes the most sense. The only hang up would be that the series was played from 2021 through 2024 before being dropped. It seemed to be a decent series as the first three games were decided by 14 points or less before Jeff crushed them in 2024. Jeff won 3 of the 4 games so I don’t if this led to the series ending.
