LOL. You ever seen a Sky Line dog without being smothered in chili? I don't think I could eat one plain..

I may have to try the next time I’m over at Louisville or if we get thrown into Sectional 32

3A Sectional 32 (8 teams): Mater Dei, Memorial, Gibson Southern, Heritage Hills, Southridge, Princeton, Mt. Vernon and Vincennes Lincoln

4A Sectional 24 (7 teams): Boonville, Bosse, Central, Reitz, Harrison, Jasper, and Washington 

5A Sectional 16 (4 teams): North, Castle, New Albany and Floyd Central

[SouthernFan]

That 3a sectional could be a tough one. I think it might be the hardest one in 3a. Makes for some interesting games but man that could be some tough games.

Has to be the most competitive sectional in the state regardless of class.

Very intriguing sectional to look, would assume Heritage Hills will be the favorite due to returning a good majority of their starters.

[GS54]

I would assume HH as well.  Could be some killer matchups early on.

How does GS look? I know they lose some valuable players on the offense, but that’s all I know 

[GS54]

We will see how things shake out. I think we will be solid with room to grow. Lots of new faces, with some 2 year starters sprinkled in.  We have a nice schedule again to help us get ready.

Early to say but here is how I would power rank that sectional at this point:

1. Heritage Hills

2. Memorial

3. Gibson Southern

4. Southridge

5. Mater Dei

6. Vincennes Lincoln

7. Mt. Vernon

8. Princeton

[GS54]

Selfishly, I hope we get to play Memorial. Always a great atmosphere. At home of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Southridge friends may have to weigh in here. I don't know if they will finish that high with this group of teams. They are always well coached and get the most out of their kids.  Will have to see come the end of the season.

After a long waited 5 years, the GS-Memorial Rivalry is back on

Some great games right there, not all of them but man we pack the house for those!

Easily some of the best atmospheres I’ve been too, especially the 2018 game being a packed house and standing room only.

[Titan32]

Don't love it too much.  HH will be gone shortly for success and GS will be gone for enrollment.  Memorial will be all alone again....well they will have Mater Dei.

I suppose that's one take on it.

[oldtimeqb]

I guess we just assume a SIAC school will win Sectional 32, so that's why we are talking about it?  😄

Although 24 has been won by an SIAC school since 2013 - and that was Jasper's Big 8 days. At least I think that is the case.

I don't know enough to rank any teams at this point, but I have to think HH is the favorite as the defending 3A South rep returning some tremendous players. GS and SR are always tough. Memorial should be solid if the QB is back. MD will be improved. Don't know what VL has coming back, but they lose a very good QB. MV and PCHS can't love this at all.

If I understand the SF points correctly, if either HH gets back to LOS or EM wins a Regional, it would mean a bump up to 4A in 2025. And, as Titan32 previously said, GS could be 4A in the next reclassification. This could be a 1 or 2 year deal at most, so we fans better enjoy what will be a tough, tough sectional and some great HS atmospheres. I believe its the first time HH, GS, SR, MD and Memorial have all been in the same sectional.

I agree with this.

 

however…let’s hope that by the next roll around that we have seeding lol.  All these teams are bound to face each other in the playoffs and there is no getting  around that.  Would just be better if it was later on for the big games.  Like GS vs HH last year as a semi state game.  Insert any 2 of these teams on their good years and we all want them to be for a championship game.

Fun trivia fact for you- outside of Memorial- who is the only other team in this sectional field to be moved up due to SF, and gained enough points to stay up the next classification go around??
