Just going by what I’ve seen over the summer. Here is my list of best offense and defense by conference.

GSSC: OFFENSE- Griffith DEFENSE- Wheeler
NCC: OFFENSE- Hobart / Andrean DEFENSE- Andrean
DAC: OFFENSE- Portage DEFENSE- Merrillville / CP

Where are you getting portage will have good offense. They lost there RB and there WR.

The QB was good but not great.

Merrillvilles offense will potentially have 3 1000 yard rushers and a few transfer WRs that are burners.

Crown point still has Gibbs.

Portage I don’t even feel was a top 5 in duneland last year

From what I heard from his father. They left because Jordan was told he had to compete for starting job after leading team all of last year and he had no shot at winning it. Jordan didn’t show up to any volunteer workouts and also hurt himself in the spring. Merrillville is going with the transfer they got last season as he was supposed to be the QB last season but the ihsaa ruled him ineligible a week or so before season. He didn’t make his debut till toward end of season but by then it was to late for a team to make a full switch like that. As someone who has seen the young man at a few camps his mobility sets him far apart from the QBs of the past for Merrillville he will be tough to defend. His arm is above average also. If he can mature as the season goes on he might be the best QB I have seen Merrillville have. He is definitely a D1 prospect. The question is can he achieve the high levels set for him. There is a lot of media hype around him not just in NWI but I have seen a few camps put out pieces on him as the breakout candidate for the junior class in the entire state this year. He will stall fall to the dogs though! We look rough but we will get it right by week 3
You leaving out some crucial facts.
Like what? 😂 the kid was not a good teammate he was only about himself and his father is 10x worst.

Not to defend anyone, but from what I was informed the coaches kicked him out in the winter and haven’t allowed him back. He tried to transfer into bulldog country to play against them but choose to stay and quit football. But we also at crown point have heard that DJ is there starter especially from scrimmage film he has started each scrimmage so far.
I’m friends with the family. I don’t know anything about him trying to go to crown point. But I have heard from some he quit and decided not to come back. And I have heard from others he got kicked out. Really not my place to put that out there so I just say he decided not to play. I don’t need to know all the info on that. I just hope the kids goes to college and plays if he truly wants to.
Jordan didn't try to go to crown point. he didn't get kicked out but he did leave. Basically he ran from the plantation.
Starting to think you’re racist? As a white man from crown point that went to Merrillville that school nor the program is anything close to a plantation. Crown point runs there program more like slavery than Merrillville does. But hey what do I know had a kid play for both.

Just going from what I saw. I didnt see Laporte or MC in the DAC. Portage has a lot of seniors on offense, and they looked very fast. Just going by summer scrimmages which doesn’t say much. We will know more about the rest of the teams after Friday night.

Apparently these gentlemen have forgotten the offensive genius of Tony Klimczak. He brought modern day offense to the region, coaches saw him have multiple 3k passing years at 2A Wheeler and took the hint.

I'm glad you think that. Love what crown point is doing. Merrillville can do a lot better. but i won't let people on here make Jordan look bad. especially when it's in favor for the plantation

Problem is Jordan is bad. He didn’t start status last year because his backup was better. Jordan was not a team player. His own teammates have said they are glad he is gone. And that they actually take two steps forward without him. He is the reason they lost semistate last year. Single handed his own fault. The kid has the least amount of passing yards a QB at Merrillville has ever had. 🤣 come on and plantation please show proof? The only plantation in the area is crown point! We run these niggers ragged we make them do what we want them to do which is why we lost some to the transfer portal.

It saddens me to see adults say a high school player is "BAD"

I know I view things from a different lens, but man, that just is rough to read and just so ugly on so many levels.

High School Education bassed athletics is the goal and mission..... I Know you see social media stuff and the trickle down NIL college has now creeped into the HS world but at the end of the day, TEENAGERS who play a sport are just that, not paid professional athletes.

What purpose does these posts serve??

His own teammates saying they are glad he's gone is a flat out lie. him single handled losing the semi-state you can keep that B.S. they lost the semistate the same way they lost every other semi state. yeah, you part of the problem. as a matter of fact didn't the back up leave mt carmel because they said he wasn't a qb? You gone criticize everyone except the plantation overseers. Crown point keep doing what you doing.
