Ok I don't want to stir the pot but how come you guys "claim" all these Lowell guys as being your region guys when they are winning and dominating but when someone asks you guys what you consider the region in other posts it turns into a 3-5 page post about what the true region is and it only includes Whiting, EC, Hammond and Gary ? I am from Lowell and grew up thinking I was from the region and went to college down here in Indy and was always teased/harrassed about my accent as being a region guy so I believe Lowell, Merrillville and Portage are part of the region. I just find it funny sometimes how adamant some people on this board get about what is the "True" region and then try to use kids from what they consider outside the "true region" to be part of what they want to claim for success. Again don't get offended just asking.
