Re: New matchups next year?

It would be fun to see conferences schedule other conferences similar to the old Big Ten vs ACC challenge in basketball. Just not sure what conferences would be good match ups for each other, the first thing that comes to mind is DAC vs NCC but I think the DAC would have a slight edge. 1. Merrillvil...

Re: IHSAA Transfer Rule

Absolutely hate this rule, going to be a major advantage for the private schools in the state. I think it will be interesting to see how fast schools will switch to open enrollment. I know I am pushing the Hobart school board to become open enrollment as soon as possible.

Re: New Coach at BNI

This is going to be a great hire for BNI. With him being a Mount Carmel alumni and being on that staff for 4-5 years, he knows how to win, plus he has relationships to recruit those Illinois kids to come across the border. It will be interesting to see how fast he can make them competitive then also...

Re: Sectional Draw

I agree that there needs to be a seeding system in place. The fact you have teams making it to sectional titles not because of scheduling it is ridiculous. The state right next door (Ohio) has the entire regional bracket seeded 1-16 and majority teams make the play offs but if you go 0-10 they do no...

Re: Sectional Draw

For 5A sectional 9 and 10 they need to balance it out a little better. Sectional 9 Mortan vs Munster Hammond Central vs Merrillville Sectional 10 Michigan City vs Chesterton Valpo vs LaPorte But at the end of the day it does not really matter since it will be Valpo vs Merrillville in the regional

Re: Hobart - Munster

I do not think it is an all-time bad hire by Munster. Just such a tough place to win.

I am not sure even Nick Saban could get a winning record with that team.

Re: Early region top 10 predictions

Yup, it sure is about the Jimmie's and Joe's. I imagine that WeBo and South Adams have more Jimmie's and Joe's across the board than Andrean does. A division 1 O-lineman and two division 1 DB/WR's is NOT a recipe to run through the 2A competition to a state title. Bowen ran it 20+ times a game AND ...

Re: Early region top 10 predictions

Andrean plays in our conference and I have no idea who this JJ Bolz kid is so not sure it's a loss. Unproven QB and RB are going to cost them games and of course they are going to lose to Lowell like they always do. I think Andrean goes 4-5 (at best) and then makes a run in an extremely weak 2A. It...

Re: Early region top 10 predictions

9. Andrean- Loaded with talent but can they find a QB? If they can put the pieces together around the talent that is there this team could be fun to watch. A key transfer has left the niners this off-season. Will that have an effect on this team? They actually lost two players/starters. Bolz left f...

Re: New Sectional Alignments

I agree that HC with not advance very far with this new draw.

How are we not talking about how easy Andrean has it in the 2A sectional, they are just going to walk to regionals for the next couple of years
