1999 Football Season Review

 

1999 football season concludes

with record breakers in state finals

The 1999 Indiana high school football season came to a record-breaking conclusion Nov. 26-27 as five state champions were crowned before a two-day crowd of 38,614 at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. Twelve state championship game records were broken and 15 more were tied. The championship weekend completed a six-week tournament that began with 308 teams at the sectional level. A total 16,595 athletes participated.

Lafayette Central Catholic completed a perfect season with its 59-7 victory over Perry Central in its second state finals appearance overall and first since 1976 when it won the Class A title. The gap between the two state championships is the longest in the 27-year history of the IHSAA football tournament.

Fort Wayne Luers won its fourth state title and first since 1992 with its 38-6 victory over Danville in Class 2A. The Knights finished on a 12-game winning streak.

Roncalli claimed its fifth state title, all in Class 3A, and reigned for the first time since 1994 by overcoming a 14-7 halftime deficit to defeat first-time state finalist Norwell 24-14.

Indianapolis Cathedral scored in the final minute for its only lead in a 24-21 triumph over Goshen in Class 4A to became the only school to win four state titles in the 1990s. The Irish also were the Class 4A champion in 1996 and 1998, and the Class 3A champion in 1992.

With its 27-3 Class 5A victory over Penn, Ben Davis (Class 5A, 1990, 1991) joined Jimtown (Class 2A, 1991-97-98 and Penn (Class 5A, 1995-96-97) as the only schools with three state titles in the 1990s.

First-time appearances by Danville, Norwell and Perry Central, brought the list of schools who have played in the IHSAA Football State Finals to 100. Of that group, all but Indianapolis Washington are current IHSAA member schools. Of the current 308 IHSAA member schools that play football, 30 percent have reached the state finals at least one time in the tournament's 27 years. A total of 49 schools have reached the state finals more than once, led by Hobart with 11 appearances. Fifty-nine different schools have won an IHSAA football state championship.
