Of the old mid 90s Provi teams, aka Joey Schley era? Obviously a bit different style offensively but still the same increidbly execution, team speed and dominance
does this IC team remind anyone else

Maybe. Providence played old 4a in 6 class system. Would love to see IC vs Rochester or Peoria.
Easy to look great playing the competition they're playing. I don't even mean that as a slight. IC is really good but the team on the other sideline is overmatched at every single position on the field.
The way they play actually kind of reminds me of a scaled down version of 2014 Naz team relative to their competition. They jump all over teams early. They are significantly better than you and they know it and relish in the opportunity to step on your throat. They have the athletic advantage at every position but will allow you to decide how they will play offensively. When they really want to humiliate you they'll just pound it down your throat anyways. They also have no business playing in the class they're playing in. Clearly 3a next year will be much of the same as well until IC is forced into 4a in '18.
Pretty sad when a town of 5000 has to play these schools that have a recruiting base over a 1MM people. This makes a mockery of the playoffs. Total ********.
Carlinville gets a punt blocked because they are punting with their QB from a normal shotgun. It gets blocked by a 300 pounder who wasn't even really attempting to block the kick. Coach you're over thinking yourself.
3a or not this team isn't a championship team so I have no idea what skeetz is so upset about.

Only team in the field IC didn't running clock was a 34 point victory in the quarterfinals...
Typically the north team is tougher but this IC team skews everything.
IC is a ridiculously good 3a team and they don't belong in 3a this year for sure but let's remember they haven't won in a long time and got killed by BMac last year. Sometimes you run into teams like this that are just head and shoulders better than the competition. I've seen it many times and just as often with public schools. This Carlinville team isn't a state championship team. They can complain all they want but if IC wasn't in 3a Wilmington would beat them handily as well.
IC gets bumped to the super tough open division (stoned lizard, Ramblin playoff system). Really like IC's running back.
Wilmo would likely beat Carlinville. ICCP is so much better than the field it is laughable. Mac was pretty dominant last year also but Byron at least gave them somewhat of a game.
Typically the north beats the south in 3a. What you have this year is the south being relatively weak and the north team is historically strong.
I just informed Hickey Thompson his 3A title game rushing record was broken today.
He's going to be pissed.

Hmm. Idk. I'd probably bump Forreston up to 7A. Keep IC in 3a because Carlinville wasn't very good.
I'm a public school guy, but I'm a big proponent of reinstating FB Enrollment and either scrapping Success Factor or having SF for all schools. Rochester is a public that plays up during the reg season and drops down to 4a post season. Tremendous program and coaching but it's starting to get ridiculous with the transfers. Rumor has it that they are gonna get DST sophomore RB next year.
This is IC first title since 2008, lets wait until they string a few state titles together first.
Indiana isn't the best measuring stick, all their programs make the playoffs (which I'm fine with) and they have random seeding. Yes random. You could have 9-0 vs 9-0 in round 1 while 5-4 plays 5-4.
Understood. To clarify, my point was more to the fact of teams get bumped up regardless. I'm sure other states do things similarly but I follow Indy closely so it's all I'm familiar with.
the Joey Schley era was the golden days for football. The PC team that graduated in 95, played in 94 was as good as I've known in HS football...that includes all the states I've seen lots of football in.
I posted first. I'm not sure football enrollement is the answer but how the success factor doesn't apply to all schools is beyond me.
Wont hear it from me. Same with if IC won the "small private" class 10x in a row, since its apples to apples I wouldnt care, the other small privates better get better coaching or work harder... Or get better lawyers.
