With the state rankings for spring sports having hit a lull due to Spring Break, here’s an opportunity to project forward to the fall and Indiana’s arguably most popular sport – football!
Courtesy of John Harrell’s Indiana high school football website, here’s a look at the 2008 schedules for the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference and Conference Indiana. The former features Class 5A defending state champion Carmel (a six-time winner) as well as seven-time champ Ben Davis and six-time king Warren Central, while the latter includes defending 5A runner-up Pike as well as four-time state champion Franklin Central and two-time king Bloomington South.
