It would have to be Merrillville. Crown point status at 1 till they are beat.. but if you ask some crown point people they believe the talent is taking steps back in it sure I believe that. But Merrillville is definitely lurking. I’m not sure anyone else is in the convo. Merrillville crown point.


Valpo has fallen back. City probably will be last this year. Laporte could take a step to the top 4 potentially this year

I agree that this looks like a two-team race either Crown Point or Merrillville is going to win the DAC. Other programs are definitely improving, but they’re still not at the same level as those two. Merrillville made a run to the state championship last year, and Crown Point did the same a few years back. Right now, no one else in the conference has proven they can compete consistently at that level.


A more interesting question might be: who finishes third? My pick is Chesterton. They return a very talented quarterback, and I think that gives them the edge to win most of their conference games likely dropping only the matchups against the two DAC powerhouses.

I agree with you on Chesterton, I think this is the year they finally win their first sectional championship. There are only 4 teams (Chesterton, LaPorte, Michigan City and Valpo) in 5A sectional 10 so my bold prediction is they get it done and beat Valpo in the sectional championship game.

You’re a little behind the times… Valpo and Merrillville both are in 6A now. (Valpo with Penn and Merrillville with crown point)

Chesterton sectional is now 9

Chesterton , city , Hammond central, Munster

(Hammond Morton to 4A)


Chesterton wound potentially face a Laporte or a concord and regionals.

Chesterton if cards fall right could go to semistate against a Lafayette Jeff

Sorry about that but I like their chances even more without having to play Valpo

Nah you’re all good. Was just trying to help. I was tired last night when I wrote that so if it came across snarky I apologize. But yeah that link shows you the new sectionals,

I think Chesterton may win both sectionals and regionals depending how concord reloads
