Part (c) boundary articles — rosters as of November 2026

Lead: New Castle — basketball. The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame's own inductee database at hoopshall.com was searched for New Prairie and New Carlisle. The database answers school by school — each inductee carried under a named high school — and no inductee in the record searched is carried under New Prairie High School, New Carlisle High School, or Olive Township. The hall's recent classes confirm the shape of the blank rather than filling it: the 63rd men's class, honoured 19 March 2025, runs from Smithville and Frankfort through Valparaiso, Mishawaka and South Bend St. Joseph's, and the 64th class announced for 18 March 2026 runs through Warsaw, South Bend Clay and DeMotte — northern Indiana is represented in both, and this town is not. Verdict at roster size: no New Carlisle or New Prairie inductee found in the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame as of November 2026.

Richmond — football. The Indiana Football Hall of Fame's own inductee pages at ifca-hof.org, one page per inductee with birthplace, school and induction date, were searched for New Prairie and New Carlisle. The search's honest difficulty is printed with its result: the surname Carlisle and the town of New Castle return constantly — Carlis Phillips of South Bend Washington; Vern Huffman of New Castle — and neither is a name of this town. No inductee page in the record searched carries New Prairie High School, New Carlisle, or Olive Township as school, birthplace or coaching seat. New Prairie football has its own documented strength in this build — a state-finals programme in the school's record — but the Richmond roster, at the size reachable, does not carry it. Verdict: no town inductee found.

Terre Haute — track and field. The Indiana Track & Field & Cross Country Hall of Fame, organised with first inductions in 1974 and counting 561 inductees including the class of 2024 on its museum's own facts sheet, was searched through its published classes, including the classes of 2024, 2025 and the announced class of 2026 — Shane Crawford, Jimm Stack, Charlie Koeppen, Sarah Pease, Julie Alano and their classmates. The museum's own school table gives the state's concentrations — Gary Roosevelt 21, Fort Wayne Northrop 17, Kokomo 12 — and New Prairie does not appear as a contributing school in the record searched, nor does any class list read for this section carry a New Prairie or New Carlisle name. This is the thinnest of the four searches, because the hall publishes classes and a facts sheet rather than a single searchable name index on the pages reached, and the verdict is printed at that size: no town inductee found in the classes and lists searched, with the fuller name-by-name roll named in the closure file as the instrument that would settle it completely. Jasper — baseball. The Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame's own site and the IHSBCA's hall reporting were read class by class at the size reachable — the class of 2024 (Dean Lehrman, Dave Ginder, Clayton Richard, Joe Decker, Bryan Bullington) and the class of 2026 inducted 23 January 2026 (Lea Selvey of Jay County, Tim Terry of South Vermillion, Ryan Berryman of Western, Josh Lindblom of Lafayette Harrison, Lance Lynn of Brownsburg) among them. Verdict: no town inductee found at class-list size. No other Indiana hall whose roster was searched for this section — including the Elkhart County Sports Hall of Fame, whose archive a search surfaced carrying a coach with one season at New Carlisle in a long career compiled elsewhere, Amzie Miller, an Elkhart County name by school and career and not a New Carlisle inductee claim at exact-tie strength — yielded a town name that survives the discipline of this section.
