The line between the top teams in 4A and 5A is very small (and there are quite a few years where the top 4A team could win 5A - heck, between New Pal, Cathedral and Columbus East, the majority of 5A championships have been won by success factored 4A schools). That is a crazy thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHJIrish Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I believe that the undefeated 1996 Cathedral team was capable of beating anyone in the state that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I thought this post was intended to discuss current teams, but here goes: Dwenger's 1992 team would have given Ben Davis a run for their money. Luers 2001 could have won 4a Luers 2011 takes 3a and gives Cathedral a good game in 4a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because of "numbers" and guys going both ways. Cathedral is a formidable school with a history that should/cannot be overlooked in IN.

I don't think they would have beaten the Irish, but I think they could have kept it within 10-14 point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC_Bears_04 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Roncalli has to be kicking themselves for losing in the regional last season to Mount Vernon. Otherwise, they'd be the favorites to win the 5A state title this season and wouldn't have to go through New Palestine to be state champions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5A path is easier than the path in 4A this fall in my opinion. Great take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the better competition is in 4a, then I imagine that's exactly where Roncalli would want to be. If you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best.

If anything, Roncalli is kicking themselves for losing a game that ended their season. Agree that no team likely looks at it from the angle ascribed above.

WIC Guy 97 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Lutheran could compete for a 2A title. I also believe that New Pal could contend for the 5A crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That loss guarantees that Snider will be in 5A for the next three years if I'm not mistaken. Easier road for the Panthers for sure, but gotta love the competition that 6A provides.

Best 1A team I’ve seen in my days. Jack Kiser gave me a concussion in the state finals that year and I didn’t even play in the game. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhpatriot04 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 A concrete example is 2001... Jasper won 4A but was beaten by 3A Heritage Hills. The Patriots only lost one game 2000-2001, a semistate loss to Chatard in 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
