1997 Classification Vote

The title escapes me but it's a book about the LAST IHSAA Boys State Tournament.

Some great appendices; School by school break down on sectional, regional, semi-state and state championships, Top Scorers in IHSAA history AND how each school voted AND their initial IHSAA classification.

The 93 4A schools 12 Yes / 81 No (12.9%) for Class Sports
95 3A schools 52 Yes / 43 No (54.7%) for Class Sports
93 2A schools 76 Yes / 17 No (81.7%) for Class Sports
94 1A schools 78 Yes / 16 No (82.9%) for Class Sports

A total of 5 schools (3x3A, 1x2A and 1x1A) abstained from voting.

Makes sense. I'm surprised any schools in the top class voted for it. They really had nothing to gain. Some of the big schools had free rides to the regional every year and on their home court.
 
Didn't some guy running for governor say he would push for single class basketball again? Pretty sure my dad voted for him just for that reason! lol

While the vote was for ALL sports, the goal was CLASS basketball.

In all honesty, other than the athletes involved AND their parents; does ANYONE care who the 1994 Girls Tennis Singles champion was??

NO. While I'm sure she is/was a great kid, Hollywood didn't make a movie about her miraculous victory in the State Championship.

NOR did the rest of the country KNOW and follow her story...

I was also surprised that some of the 4A schools voted for it; however, if the vote made an easier path for say a Ft W or Gary or Indy school to capture a sectional title, I understand it.

I just dont get this...clearly that voting points out that it was unfair to the small schools...I regularly visit my High school where I have a open pass for games...we wouldn't/can't regularly compete in basketball since I dont think we have had a kid in our class over 6 foot 5 since Deandre givens lol...bunch of Irish kids in Mount vernon...THEY DO PLAY HARD THO!!!!!!!!!!!...since MV is one of my Alma Maters I am biased but man the former coach Tom Kopatich was my Basketball coach but he always makes people play hard...btw's he is now the MV superintendent but he is an amazing coach who has that Tony Dungy (I am so nice you never want to let me down style and is completely upfront with you).
 
Landrus...lemme make an NFL reference...who thinks the Eagles are a dominant team??????????????They have made 5 of the past 10 NFC championship games tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I think the Eagles are a dominant team. They dominated the Colts. The Eagles are a very good team, they are pick for the team from the NFC to make the Super Bowl.
 
Kopatich!! Wow I remember my brother and friend got in an argument with that kids mom I think when they played at Alice Arena...Whatever happened to Jace Redman??

Jace went on to a very good career at Franklin College. I played against him multiple times there and he was always a true competitor.

Now as an upperclassman himself, Redman is one of a quartet of seniors who have led an otherwise young team to the top of the HCAC. Along with Redman, guard Dustin Marshall, and forwards John Yochum and Jared Catron are all four-year contributors, in which the Grizzlies compiled a 70-36 record including a 16-8 mark this season. During their four careers, Franklin has never finished less than second in the conference, winning last season’s conference tournament, earning the automatic bid to the national tournament
