Football
realignment will have dramatic effects on teams in the Hoosier Crossroads
Conference. The biggest of them all is that the league is now entirely
comprised of 5A schools. Zionsville and Westfield are two of the teams jumping
to the big school class.
The other
significant change is that all ten conference schools will now be split into
just two sectionals. Seven HCC schools will join Carmel in Sectional Four. They
include Fishers, Hamilton Southeastern, Harrison, Lafayette Jeff, McCutcheon,
Noblesville, and Westfield. That will move several of the schools from the
southern semi-state to the northern. The remaining three HCC teams, Avon,
Brownsburg, and Zionsville, will be in Sectional Six. That, of course feeds the
southern route to the state finals. Included in that field will be perennial
power Ben Davis.
You would be safe to proclaim the Hoosier Crossroads as Indiana’s premier boy’s
golf conference. Four of the ten conference squads are ranked in the top ten in
the opening statewide poll. A fifth appears in the second ten. No other
conference comes anywhere close to having that level of representation.
The HCC contingent is led by Avon.
The Orioles are ranked second to begin the season. They are followed by Hamilton
Southeastern in third, Lafayette Jefferson in fifth, and Zionsville in ninth.
Noblesville also appears on the list, coming in at 15th. Here is a
