Never heard of Stacker or Niche, but thought this might be something to get us through the boredom of baseball, LAX & track while we await the return of football.

Oak Hill?  Really?

 

[Slobberknocker]

Only 2 public schools in the top ten. Interesting

The entire state list or top 50/100 would be interesting to see.

 

[temptation]

This list, lol.

I’d love to see a further breakdown of the methodology.

Wondering what puts Dwenger and Snider over Universities of Homestead and Carroll ? It appears that they may be giving credits for championships going back decades. A more accurate measurement would be what has transpired in the last ten years. 

[Grover]

"These rankings factor in parent and student surveys on sports, total high school enrollment, K-12 sports championships, number of sports, and athletic participation rates."

Public schools will never match private schools on athletic participation rates.

I’m not sure how CG made this list…I’ve been told by so many people they have a culture problem permeating through their entire community.

LOL. I've tried to enjoy it over the years, but it just doesn't spark much interest. Part of that is inevitably due to it being a relatively new (last 10-15 hrs) sport down here.

It’s been around a long time, as this picture (see if you can guess which one is me) demonstrates. Taken in March 1974 at Colorado College after a practice during our Spring break trip.

I'm looking for the bald guy but can't find him.  Are you sure you are in this picture?  🙂

I'll take a gander and say that it's the guy, in the second row, who is distracted and not paying any attention. Typical ref! 😝

I actually had hair back then. Quite a bit. 😂

Nope. That’s a midfielder. They typically have short attention spans.

Looks like that guy has a brother/twin.  Look at the guy on the second row in the middle ... the one that looks like Ace Ventura.

Not sure which one you mean. Are you including the Irish Wolfhound (row 2, 2nd from left)?

Wow, that's a great pic! 

I'm my memory is correct, I think our program started around 2010 or so. Memorial and Castle were the first schools in the Heavensville - SW Indiana area to have teams.

I wasn't going to pick on the Wolfhound ... he has less hair than some of the guys in that team picture.

Nah.  Gotta be the guy in the first row on the right.  Look at the hair.  😅

But really.  I'd say second row. Second from the right.
