I heard about this but it was unconfirmed at the time. I mean it’s not like everyone didn’t know about this. Depending on how this all plays out I think it might be safe to say the true contending window has shut at Merrillville…

[Impartial_Observer]

Two thoughts come to mind:

1) What about Poor Cody Parkhurst

2) What about Rodney

[Whitehat]

Wait I was reliably informed that only private schools do this

The Hammond and Gary pipeline is closed. Wasted to 2 great players this year, now they have maybe 1 Division 1 player 🤡

P/P’s are in cahoots with the IHSAA, yet another example of the P/P Conspiracy

The disappearance of @Piratefan101and @Andrean4life cannot simply be a coincidence at this point, lol.

If you look at it. It says they were suspended this year and are in probation. Problem is. The transfers we got for this year didn’t play they were only given JV eligible. So they will be here next year. We still have 3-5 more good years coming. Especially with the rest of 5A not looking strong

What the hell dude

I don't have any use for a reciever

I plan on throwing my victory formation touchdowns to an eligible tackle anyways for maximum disrespect

 

Send him back and order me a few linebackers, maybe we'll actually be able to tackle something next year

Whatever it is, can he be trusted? His opinion of Valpo, you know a DAC rival from about 10 miles east of Merrillville, was so blatantly wrong on so many occasions this season I'm not sure how he can possibly try to predict anything from a state level in 5A. At some point you just got a call a spade a spade and move on.

Hell, his opinion about his own school, 10 seconds from his house was blatantly wrong…for the third consecutive year.

That sounds like a lot of cheatin' and transferin' for what? King of the 5A North? No. King of the Duneland? No. King of Lake County? No. Sounds like a waste of resources and time.

LOL...so true. But he'll pat himself on the back everytime he can mention Crown Point couldn't handle speed.

[DACNUT]

Not even Lake County, the school 20 minutes to the south beat them for that title already.

Here is what we know about Merrillville, unlike programs built to last, they will crumble as they continue to rely on others to beef up their team. What is their middle school team and freshman team doing Cody? Crown Point and Valpo have solid coaches, Adminstrative control and integrity that benefits their players.

[scarab527]

Sidenote - and I know this is a football forum - but I was shocked to see Andrean is now in 2A in baseball. They've won 3A the past 5 times (I believe) they've been in that class. They 10-runned the 2A state champ (Illiana Christian) last year. Talk about a bull in a china shop.

Our freshman team has been below .500 for like 10 years. But the middle and junior high teams normally go undefeated or lose no more than 1 game. Idk what they did this year.

Andrean should be in 4A and stay there in baseball!

They don’t realize most the talent comes back. Only loss is roche and Marshall. 
 

marshall had 4 others behind him that all got significant playing time. And roche was switched in and out by a freshman all year
