Certainly the tax base can afford it and I can only imagine how many kids are getting passed by -in all areas, not just athletics- due to such large numbers Won't ever happen. My grandparents moved to Carmel in late 50's. They will never give up the edge they have. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good looking talent on the field. Fun game to watch so far. I wish Carmel was good when I was in school haha. We were very mediocre back then.

When I was in school there, they built a freshman center which made the school a little bigger but not that much bigger. I doubt they’ll build a second high school. That’s what I thought and imo, that’s pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the tax base can afford it and I can only imagine how many kids are getting passed by -in all areas, not just athletics- due to such large numbers There was about 28-30 years ago. Right before the current football stadium was built. Long before the freshman center was built. They decided to stay with one community school instead of dividing the community in half like what is seen in Fishers. Sports were discussed but they were not THE factor.

I’m sure there are plenty of other reasons too honestly. When I graduated in ‘06, the enrollment was right around 4,000 and my class was like 970. Now it’s well over 5,000. So many damn kids.

Seeking6 Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I think McCahill has 300+ yards of passing in first half vs Carmel. Wow. Just threw an interception at end of half and should be pick 6 for Carmel. Wiped off on call.....suspect...looks like 20-13 headed to half.

I have no anti-Carmel feelings. Not even in my realm of thinking. The 4 quarterback comment just struck a chord. Wonder how many kids never get an opportunity because they are lost in the numbers. Just me, but if I was a parent of high school kids these days, I would look for a more close-knit environment versus being 1 in 1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor's kid just missed making the golf team as a freshman. Shoots 75-77 on the daily. His response was I need to work harder. Sometimes life lessons are earned and developed early on.

Seeking6 Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Cathedral putting a pounding on Carmel right now. Still a fun game to watch from both sides. 34-13 Cathedral. Ton of talent and I think D1 talent across the board not just for the kids committed but some up and coming kids too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Score that jumped out to me this morning. Avon 54 Ben Davis 13. Same Avon team that our Donaven Mcculley lit up the week before. Speaking of him...his team put up 70 last night. Don't have exact stats but judging by twitter highlights it was an evening of pitch and catch again for him.

BobSaccamanno Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Goodness gracious I saw some clips of Caden Curry. It’s a cliche but it’s perfect here. He’s like a man against boys. I saw him triple teamed at one point and he still hustled to the tackle. If this kid ends up being along the lines of JJ Watt, I’m not going to be shocked.

Be great to see him in an IU uniform but probably not very realistic for him to choose IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 My hometown Hatchets broke a 17 game losing streak today winning 61-18. Not a strong opponent but from experience when you lose that much any win feels good. Happy for the guys, especially the QB who is my cousins son.

I like it when someone can say the team name like 'Hatchets; and I know exactly who they are talking about. Same with 'Hoosiers'. Beats the heck out of having the school nickname be something like Tigers, Wildcats, Bulldogs, etc. The only original nickname that sucks is Boilermakers, but even that is not the nickname's fault. It's the Purdue in front of it that really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
