How about a Conspiracy Theory?
Word on the street has it this way...
1. Neither Mt. Vernon or Tecumseh were consulted prior to the change being made
2. In an meeting of the IHSAA Board of Directors, Mike Whitten (Boonville Principal) made a motion to change the sectional alignment
3. Recommendation was seconded by Richard Lance (Asst Principal at Castle, former Principal of Tecumseh)
4. The vote was 16-0, no questions asked.
All three Warrick County schools benefit from the change which was origniated by two Warrick County adminstrators. The reasoning was that Mt. Vernon "drove by" Central to get to the Castle sectional. Why wasn't that statement made when the sectionals were realigned years ago? Check the basketball sectionals, teams "drive by" other sectionals all the time. Why wasn't the change put into effect next year to give the teams involved a chance to change their schedules?
I'm just saying...
