That 2013 Andrean Team was truly the best team I have ever seen. So well coached, Mason and his staff had them primed for what they were going to do. Desomer Berg Petkovich Barajas amazing talent. What they did to West Lafayette in Semi State. Desomer was hurt in the State Game which mad it close. Forget who was Mr Football but I think Desomer was runner up. 15-0 just so fun to watch!!

I was on the ‘13 and ‘14 Andrean teams and the ‘13 team was better no questions. The ‘14 team was still good but that ‘13 team was special. Think most Niner faithful would agree.

‘20 Hobart was imo much better than their ‘21 state runner-up team. The ‘20 team choked in that playoff game against East Noble so badly. I think if they would’ve gotten down to state that year against Evansville Memorial they could’ve had a legit shot to win it.

Only heard stories about those Lowell teams so can’t comment and as for CP no clue.
Andrean's best team was 2004 state champs led by Mr. Football Runner Up Tommy Finn
Honestly I think the 2013 team was right up there with them. But arguable for sure.

Andrean 2004 is the answer.

2013 Andrean was a wagon.

I’d say off the top of my head that this was Andreans best team. Tommy Finn was electric. Andrean has had a lot of talented teams

I think most people want to give the ‘04 team the edge solely because of Finn, and I understand that. He’s a legend and one of the best players the Region has ever produced. But DeSomer was electric in his own right. And most importantly, I’d argue the rest of the team around DeSomer was much better than the team around Finn. There were dogs all over the place on that ‘13 team.

NWI football was at its peak between 03-09.

Lowell wins state in 05. Goes back in 07 & 09

Andrean wins in 04. The Andrean/Griffith rivalry.

Those Merrillville teams were stacked.

Andrean teams in 2013 and 2014 were both in 3A. Beating Brebeuf in 2013 and losing to Tri West in 2014
