Indiana Fan Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Carmel now is playing Christian Brothers out of Missouri week 2. CG has an opening for week 2 and week 7. Still hard to believe that Carmel would rather play an out of state school rather than keep an incredible rivalry going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southside Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 CG added Harvest Prep from Ohio to their schedule in week 5. It looks like Harvest Prep has a total enrollment of 657 students and plays in Level V division of OHSAA. I'm guessing that won't be a very close game. As of now, the CG schedule only has 3 opponents from Indiana; LC, LN, and Cathedral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only so many 6A schools in the state. I am sure the AD has reached out to them all along with many 5A schools. From what I have learned, not been an issue scheduling contests for CG, other than football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muda69 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 From a Q&A article by the Indy's Start High School beat writer, Mr. Neddenriep: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2023/04/19/indiana-mr-basketball-voting-bias-ihsaa-boys-coaching-changes-all-stars-selection/70126970007/ (Note. Story is behind a paywall) Quote Is the Center Grove football schedule set? Center Grove’s schedule is set other than Week 7. Here is the what the Trojans have on tap, according to athletic director Joe Bronkella: Aug. 19: vs. St. Edward (Ohio), at Massillon, Ohio Aug. 26: Oakland (Tenn.) Sept. 1: Louisville Trinity Sept. 8: Cincinnati Moeller Sept. 15: Harvest Prep (Ohio) Sept. 22: at Lawrence Central Sept. 29: Open Oct. 6: Lawrence North Oct. 13: at Cathedral That is obviously a dramatically different schedule for the three-time defending Class 6A champions than in previous years, precipitated by the move out of Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference and to independent status. Bronkella said there are a couple of Week 7 opportunities out there, but still waiting on contracts to solidify. Interesting. It is my contention that unless a school's 9-game regular season schedule contains at least 5 IHSAA member schools that school should be ineligible for the state tournament.

I can't open your link....and while I like Kyle's stuff, its not enough to get me to subscribe. I guess thank goodness only the IHSAA's contention matters..... I don't think CG is running away from playing in-state high schools. Their schedule this year will be as tough as it gets by being forced to look outside the state to field a schedule.

Just the opposite...they had to work their tails off looking far and wide to fill their schedule. Perhaps you should ask Carmel why they took their ball and ran home, opening up a game originally scheduled for week 2. Or why Ben Davis dropped CG for IMG (out of state) in week 4. And while any CG fan hope that playing a far tougher schedule than even their normal tough schedule bears a return on that investment for the post season, it certainly does not guarantee success in the playoffs.

Sucks to be them, then. I still don't think they should be allowed to participate in the IHSAA state tournament with a schedule containing less than 5 IHSAA member schools. Life isn't fair sometimes.

Get used to it. you came up with an arbitrary 5 game in-state number to be able to play in the post-season tournament. Whether I agree with you or not on the that number, my point is that CG had an in-state schedule of 5 in-state opponents, until 2 of them balked very late in the game. I will also reiterate that its a good thing your vote doesn't count. Get used to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the IHSAA needs to step in and help them. It isn’t CG’s fault teams will not play. That’s pretty much stating that you can get a group together to not play a certain school because you don’t want to compete against them in the tournament. By the way, I do not think that is an actual rule. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can prove there has been actual collusion going on between multiple Indiana high hchool A.D.'s to deny Center Grove football contests then by all means provide that proof to the IHSAA. Otherwise the IHSAA should stay out of it, the last time I checked they were not in the business of scheduling regular season athletic contests. 8 minutes ago, Indiana Fan said: By the way, I do not think that is an actual rule.
