wat is everyones opinion on the best conference in indiana? i feel it is the hoosier hills conference with good teams like jeffersonville,floyd central, and i hate to say it but even jennings county looks good. teams in the middle like columbus east, madison, new albany and seymour look tough and could beat anyone on any given night. sure seymour is young in their pitching but if they can but timely hits together they can beat anyone. look for tough close games in all the hhc games this year and an awesome tourney. others opinions?

clearly, the Hoosier Crossroads Conference is the best not only in indiana, but possibly the midwest, with teams like brownsburg, the 12th ranked team in the coutnry, and mccutcheon 10 ranked in state, hamilton southeastern 6th in state, and noblesville 8th in state, and mccuctchoen 10th in the state, plus they have harrison and lafayette jefferson two very good unranked teams, and when avon pitchers can actually throw a strike, theyre pretty competitive too, so without a doubt, the HCC is the best conference in indiana

I disagree bigstack.....The HHC gets no respect....Sure all the teams in the hcc are ranked but htere the only teams that get reconginition......Jennings County beat the team that won state (L Central ) last year 17-6...run rulled them in 5 innings....so dont say the HHC isnt tough....just wait till june and ull see whos the best confrence.......

I would have to agree with the Hoosiers Crossroads Conference, I played varsity for Noblesville for 4 years and would have to say that every conference team we played had at least 2-3 D1 guys on their team and it was not uncommon to see MLB scouts at most games.

Brownsburg is very tough this year, HSE is well-rounded, Noblesville is pounding the ball this year, Harrison I hear is looking good, McCutcheon is always good, and Jeff is learning the ropes but will come along.

BAR NONE HCC is the best conference in the state.

First thing is i dont really know these conferences but i'd have to say that both sound really strong but arent these conferences 4a. my question is what confrence do you guys think is the best in ALL classes?

The Hoosier Hills Conference is terrible. If Floyd Cental is at the top of the conference then it can't be that good. We smashed Floyd Central.

By far, the HCC is the best baseball you are likely to see throughout this state. With over half of the Conference receiving votes, if not being in the top ten, at one time or another, there is no argument against them. I have only been in the Harrison program one year, and experiencing the competitive nature at the JV level is incredible, i can only imagine wut it is like at the Varsity level, when on any given week you can go up against Josh Lindbloom (Har), Heath Riley (Jeff), Beves (Jeff), or Brandon Knowlings(McC). The state tournament will be where these teams reap the rewards of playing against the best baseball that Indiana can offer. Along with the tough conference schedule, teams like Harrison, Jeff, and McC, are playing ranked opponents like Chesterton, West Lafayette (3A #5), Central Catholic (1A #2), and Terre Haute North, and defending State Champions Lake Central. The true test of the level of play in the HCC is when a local tournament is having teams like Chesterton, THN, and L. Central wanting to compete against these top teams. June will be where the HCC reaps the rewards of the grueling schedule

Floyd isnt at the top of the HHC....JC is 3-0 in conference games and jeff is right behind JC......

Hoosier Crossroads Conference, without a doubt-Its no coincidence theres been at least 1 team from the conference in the state finals for at least 3 years- 1 year McCutehon and Brownsburg both went. BBurg is #1 in the state top 10 in nation, HSE was #3 until BBurg swept them, Zionsville has played everyone tough, even Brownsburg, Harrison has the best pitcher in the state, Noblesville was a preseason top 10 and now is at the bottom of the conference, westfield has a very good non-conference record, mccutcheon is always tough, and avon is sturggling some but has played well out of conference. ANd yes the JV is very tough also-I pitch varsity for Westfield and had some very solid non-conference outings with an ERA under 1, then went to JV after returning from illness and got hammered by the HSE JV team for 13 runs in 3 innings

Kevn, I was at that JV game against Zionsville. So you were the kid on the mound that got hammered? I'm only an eighth grader so i'm not in high school yet, but I go to a fair amount of the HSE varsity and junior varsity games. Hopefully, I will be on the freshman team next year at HSE.

umm srry i dont ply for zionsville-westfield

Ohhh I'm sorry. I read where you were from and swore it said Zionsville. The HSE junior varsity pounded Zionzville into the ground. I know it was definatly a whipping. Sorry, for the mistake.

Sorry to all of you southern Indiana folks...but the BEST baseball conference in Indiana is the LAC Black Division..they've captured a title in 4A;2003, 2A;2004 and 3A;2005 along with a 3A runner-up in 2001& 2004

Let's see- there's this one conference in central Indiana where the top 2 s****r teams met for the 4a state championship (North Central and Carmel) a few weeks ago, the best football team in 5a will win it's 3rd straight title in two weeks (Warren Central), there's that 4a hoops college team (Lawrence North) that will win it's 3rd straight title in March and Center Grove, TH North & South, LN and Carmel are no slouches on the diamond. Oh yea, Sports Illustrated had Ben Davis and Carmel listed in their top 10 HS's for best athletic programs in the country! Can you name the conference?

Regardless, Evansville Harrison is going to smash everyone around the state of Indiana.

how is evansville harrison gonna smash everyone around the state of indiana when they didn't even get out of their first round of sectionals last year? i think evansville north (state runner up) was in it but still...

Evansville Sectional is always very competitive. All the teams play in the SIAC conference. What ever team puts it all together can make a run to the state. Last year both Evansville North (4A) and Evansville Memorial (3A) came from the SIAC and made it to the state finals. That is the beauty of baseball in this part of the state. It is very competitive with a lot of very good players. It is too bad that the teams and players don't seem to get the type of recognition schools closer to Indianapolis do.

The SIAC will be very competitive again this year and will come down to pitching. Most teams have at least one very good pitcher returning that can dominate on any given night. It will come down to the team that can develop their team and pitching staff. On paper some teams look better than others but it is too early to crown a team to beat when the first game hasn’t even been played yet. Last year no one gave Evansville North a chance. The only certainty is that whoever comes out of Evansville Sectional will have played a tough schedule and will be battle tested.
