Indiana 2019

What's with the early predictions? We don't even have any results from this season yet

I'm too bored to wait till this thread picks up

Because it's fun!

And that!

Anyone know what high schools TJ, Raymond Park, and WIlbur Wright feed into? and the success of those teams?

We're trying to figure out if having a middle school team would help our high school success rate a bit more.

I know that Wilbur Wright feeds into Munster High School. They are pretty successful, fluctuating between first second and third at state. I know that they did fairly well at the Palatine invitational this weekend.

According to the wiki, Raymond Park feeds into Warren Central and TJ feeds into Valparaiso.

My predictions for Div C are:
1. Munster
2. Carmel
3. Lake Central

Munster and Lake Central have already competed against each other this year.

My predictions for Division C:

1. Munster
2. Lake Central
3. Bloomington North
4. John Adams
5. Carmel

Division B:
1. TJ
2. Raymond Park
3. Tri-North

I don't think that Wilbur Wright will even break top 5 this year due to lack of consistency.

I'm sorry, but I'm just stating what has been observed this year, TJ has not made that much of a mark in this year's competition.

I think it's cute that you think Carmel has a chance at beating Munster this year. Munster is the equivalent of TJ in Div C, placing 6th at Nationals (overall) at its best, where Carmel's best is not even close. Additionally, Munster has dominated regionals every year so I wish Carmel luck. I think that post may have been slightly biased based on your origins. I love the enthusiasm however.

Not gonna outright say that Carmel in 5th is a bad prediction, but maybe learn from past mistakes a bit.

I wonder why we don't see much of Warren Central or Valparaiso at the High School level then.....

It's because (Or so I've been told) the way the practices go from TJ compared to VHS are completely different and that it isn't as enjoyable, therefore none of the TJ people try out. I have no idea about Warren Central. Raymond has only picked up in the past few years and I don't know if Warren has even gone to state, so maybe it'll take some time. Valpo used to get top five but ever since I think 2014 they've been getting 6-10.

All three of those pieces of information for each of those middle schools are correct.

Honestly, Carmel has done really well even without a feeder middle school, so while middle school teams that feed into your high school may help, it's not impossible to be good without them (I know because I was only raised in Division C there) :P

I would say that it is not uncommon for high schools have vastly different team cultures from the feeder middle schools. This could be based on a number of factors, perhaps the strongest one being that middle school teams tend to be heavily coach driven while that may not be so for high school teams, which may be student driven in varying degrees. However, I can't speak for TJ and Valpo and say that it is the reason for the disparity in state tournament performance.

I would say that Carmel has put itself on a pretty intense invitational schedule this year, I think they're going to put up a hard fight to return to nationals and won't go down without one, if they do go down at all. I can't say for sure until I see the results from Centerville and University of Michigan, those will definitely give me more of a perspective on this year's outlook. I wouldn't necessarily use Palatine as a heavy influence on State predictions, esp since it's quite early in the year.
