Sure. Get the IHSAAtv app on your TV and pay the fee to watch the game on it.

You can watch online here:  https://www.ihsaatv.org/    Not certain about the cost. 

 Locally, Bally's shows all 6 Indiana State Championship games for free on Spectrum Cable but no idea about outside the local network.

You can  also find the IHSAA Champions Network on Roku, Google TV, Firestick and other streaming services.

Wish I could watch this game, but with the IHSAA having PPV, looks like I will have to skip it.  Not a great way to promote Indiana High School Sports.

I thought state finals were always streamed free on the website.   Did that change this year?

On a delayed basis. I believe the free streaming stopped in 2019. And before that for a few years it was only available live outside the Indy viewing area.

I was incorrect. The pay per view for streaming of the State Finals began this year. In the past it was available, just possibly not Live depending on where you lived.

It's only boring to some people because their team didn't win.  Nobody ever says anything about Center Grove going for their 3rd in a row.

Western Boone 2018-2020 has entered the chat.

(To clarify) I have no issues with this. But if it were Bishop Western or St. Boone, they would be talked about completely different.

It's not very expensive for a former Catholic school teacher anyhow.  🙂

That's because Center Grove is in 6A. The only way to stop them from winning another state championship would be to tell them they can't be in the tournament. These other teams can be bumped up and werent this last reclassification so its a little annoying is all.

What about freakin' 2016-2018 when it was Pioneer? Or freakin' 2018-2020 when it was WeBo?

You're completely right people wouldn't have been as impressed. The fact that a public school did it makes it very impressive because it never happens these days in the lower classes. I'm not saying it isn't impressive for a private school because it is. Its hard no matter who you are to reload and have a state team multiple years in a row, but it happens so much with private schools so everyone sees it just as another boring couple years that a private was able to dominate again.

It was only 3 years in a row so doesn't equate to my example lol, also like I said above they were public schools so it was cool because it never happens anymore in the lower classes.

ew

 

maybe your public schools should practice harder and get good

[Wildcat1992]

So what's the game plan to slow down Bowen?  Double Clacks and load up the box to stop the run?

Yawn.

For those mathematically challenged, SHOULD this scenario play out, it would be magical "3 years in a row" which seems to be the acceptable norm among posters...

Hope he misses the bus?  😁

Loading the box to attempt to stop the run seems highly likely...and then hope to put enough pressure on QB for some errant throws...stay tuned...

Andrean impressed me against Luers. Bowen will be the best player on the field so I give them the advantage. No doubt, MD is a great team, but Bowen is the difference. Andrean 35 - MD 21

Grown men who know the truth will continue to lobby for P&Ps to stay in their enrollment class and claim it is "fair"....every year I just can't wrap my head around that.

Yeah ... the previous time it happened with public schools in 1A was ... wait for it ... the four seasons right before LCC had their four-year run.  Sheridan went to LOS for four consecutive seasons, going 3-1, from 2005-2008.  LCC's run was 2009-2012.  Interestingly, Sheridan bookended their run by ending LCC's season in 2005 and 2008.

Gibson Southern should be thankful that the success factor did it's job and cleared out all those highly advantaged P/P schools from 3A last year.

[oldtimeqb]

I forgot Mater Dei led the game 9-7 with 11 minutes to go last year. 

I think the Wildcats are better offensively this year, but they will need to convert red zone chances with TD's instead of FG's.
