My school, Whitko 2A, played at Westview. But yet Manchester and Wabash, also 2A schools, played at Oak Hill. The logistics of all this stuff just doesn't work. They are sending schools all over the place because of the class system. I don't like it. Up north here...I could give several other examples. JSMH It's the logistics that I have an issue with, exactly. Providing more opportunities for wins and championships, I'm good with (I wasn't in the beginning; I'm a convert).

You really aren't preparing players for the next level without it. I know most players aren't concerned with that, but games in the 20's are not very exciting. Well in my day when a team tried to "stall" against us we picked up the tempo on the defensive end. We swarmed them. Wore them down. Then they fall behind by 10 and they play "normal" ball. That being said, I am all for the shot clock. From what I am seeing...I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes zero sense why that rule hasn't been updated. I don't follow high school bball closely, but like you said it does players and viewers a great disservice to not have a shot clock.

Did CG or Franklin or both just hold the ball? Maybe just a random year but seems like teams scoring in the 20's has been common this week. Are the coaches just instructing players to hold ball? I get the idea of trying to win but standing around does absolutely nothing for player development as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazin Hazin Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I think a 45-50 second shot clock would be ok, but a 30 second shot clock would put disciplined teams at a pretty big disadvantage. And no- I don't think a shot clock influences player development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are 2 Hancock County teams thrown into the Richmond sectional? That's a drive. Back in the day, in a galaxy far away, eons ago, Hancock County had its own sectional - New Pal, Mt. Vernon, Greenfield Central and Eastern Hancock. Part of that is on the athletic directors for selecting the sectional site (and the IHSAA if they can't reach a consensus). In our local sectional Union City and Randolph Southern played at Tri High. That's 45 minutes from Lynn and over an hour for Union City. On the flip side, if Seton Catholic and Blue River had won as expected, it wouldn't be that bad of a drive for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have no issues with the logistics of class basketball. It's not perfect, and there will always be a school here or there that has to travel further than you would like because of things like # of schools in the area and gym size. When I was in high school (early 80's), Silver Creek, Charlestown, and Henryville (all Clark County schools) were shipped to Madison for sectional (30-45 minutes away) despite their being a sectional 10-15 minutes away in Jeffersonville. Why? Because of the number of schools in the Clark/Floyd County area compared to the number of schools around Madison, as well as gym size. Jeffersonville and Madison had gyms of adequate size to host a sectional. The other schools did not. And, you know what? Those three schools LOVED getting shipped to Madison. Why? Because the Jeffersonville sectional not only included Jeff, but on rotating years New Albany or Floyd Central as well. The odds of winning and being competitive were much better in Madison. No alignment will be perfect. What class basketball does give is the opportunity for smaller schools to compete on a regular basis, and not have to wait for that once in a lifetime group of kids that could actually win a sectional in a one class system. There's nothing fair about a large school winning 40 straight sectional championships because they have the benefit of having 5-6 much smaller county schools in their sectional. Meanwhile, even in a single class system, Lawrence Central and Warren Central are STILL going to meet in the sectional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I got a great idea....how about we take 5 4A schools from Fort Wayne and have them play up the road at DeKalb. Then we get 5 4A schools outside of Fort Wayne to play in Fort Wayne. Wait.......somebody already came up with that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I was at New Castle last night and man Delta is really good. Josh Bryan is going to make somebody a really nice college player. He is big time scoring 27 points and hitting multiple tough shots. Bumbalough is going to be a star at Ball State but he just didn't have enough pieces around him without Gillis. Delta will be a challenge for anyone in 3A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should mention Delta...just got off the phone with my cousin. Tippy Valley is the next opponent. Delta should cruise in that one and then face the winner of Angola/Marion. The regional is at Marion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Angola other than they are 21-5 but I would think there is a good chance of there being a Delta versus Marion championship game.

However they played East Noble pretty tough going down by 3. Other than that the Hornets' resume is a guessing game. Now Marion on the other hand looks to be battle tested.
