dazed and confused Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Is this open for anyone to vote ? If so, seems like someones like myself, who knows less about this area, could skew the poll somehow ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 I suppose so. Intended for anyone from the area or anyone with ties to the area, but I suppose it could be messed with if someone was so inclined. Never had an issue before but I could always a preventive measure.

Donnie Baker Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Liptons isn’t considered south west? They were in a conference called Southwest 7, I swear to God they were Edited January 1, 2023 by Donnie Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Yes they were in that conference. There’s definitely an argument that Linton is in SW Indiana. I’ve gone back and forth on whether to include them or not but ultimately I’d decided to keep it to the schools listed in the counties above. I now have info for the whole state but the all-area team is kind of a throwback to when I only covered teams in SW Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
