LaVille High School, Class of 1997; defensive coordinator of two NFL teams. His birthplace prints in conflict, whole. James Bettcher is the one graduate of national record the town's consolidated school has produced: an offensive lineman at the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne (two-time NAIA Coaches All-American; the school's Hall of Fame, 2012), then a coach whose rise ran to defensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals (2015–2017) and the New York Giants (2018–2019), and linebackers coach of the Indianapolis Colts from 2025. The raised-and-formed tie is carried on four official carriers — the Colts ("A native of Lakeville, Ind."), the Giants ("A Lakeville, Indiana, native"), the Bengals ("growing up the son of a welder in Lakeville, Ind."), and Ball State ("High School: LaVille High School, Class of '97, in Lakeville, Ind."). The birthplace is another matter, and it prints whole: the reference article and derivative sports copy state he was born 27 May 1978 in Lakeville, Indiana; Ball State University Athletics, his own employer's official biography, states "Born May 27, 1978, in South Bend, Ind." — the same date, a different city. this section carries him as raised and formed here, and does not carry him as born here; a birth record or a newspaper birth notice is the settler, and it is named's note.
