There was a questionaire sent out to coaches to see if they’d prefer smaller districts (four schools) like the other sports and the results would be presented to MSHSAA.
I think 4 team districts are better. Keep the same format we have now but with 4 team districts would be awesome IMO. 16 Districts instead of 8, but that means 16 District champs which is good. And before the give everyone a trophy crowd pipes in that is what we had for 25 plus years before.
The only problem I have with 4 team districts is that with the new classification scheme it will mean an even shorter post season for Carthage most years, lol.
Serious question: why would you have four team districts and not two?
Then you could have 32 district champions and 32 runner-ups!
they're is 2 Advantages and 1 disadvantages about 4-team district. first advantage is Closer first and second round district games and 2 advantage is possibly no more 1 vs 8 2 vs 7 blowouts. the Disadvantage is Teams with great records will possibly pair up with another good team
Or four really bad teams will pair up on opposite sides of the bracket.
I guess technically you get rid of 1-8 matchups because there is only four teams. But still will have blowouts with #1 seeds going against what would have been #8 seeds before. Fairly likely there will be a lot of second round games against what would've been #1 and #2 seeds in an eight-team bracket. And though unlikely, there could be games for championships where teams that would have been #5 and #6 seeds will play for a district title.
I agree. Maybe it helps with football in MO as well... possibly program participation goes up after winning a district champ. Maybe it gets more students playing football in MO. Etc. etc. Winning breeds winning.
Not sure why that would be a surprise. 4 team districts mean less long distance travel, and a greater chance to win a title. More winning = more fun and more kids out for football. And you still need to win the same number of games overall to win state, so there's no downside to it.
Another proposal was keeping the 8-team districts and calling the two teams that played for the championship called regional champs. That way you’d have your 16 regional champs from the larger districts. Still would have 1/4 of the teams able to claim winning something on the state level.
That is about as dumb as the old 4 man districts where 2 teams made it.
Just do away with districts. Do back to a 10 game season, using the current point system seed the top 32 teams. Same amount of games played and no more 1-8 matchups
I'd like to see 8 regular season games, and then districts like we have now but if a team loses in the first round they get but it a 4 man bracket giving each team two more games. If they lose in the district semifinal they play the other semifinalist who lost and then deeper in the bracket you are paired up with another loser in that round all the way out to top 4 playing out to third. That way half the teams in Missouri finish on a win and most finish in a competitive game. The 1v8 still exist but nobody's season is ending on it
lol, so bad teams will finish 0-8, get blasted in week 9 and eventually finish 0-11. I’ve been through a bad season. 0-9 was plenty...
I get what your saying but the difference between most 7-8's isn't usually huge and having a winnable or at least competitive game to finish on will help grow the sport
That's a terrible idea...let's just give everyone a participation trophy while we're at it.
Giving kids a competitive game to finish the season is a terrible idea? How is it any different than a bowl game or should there only be a 4 team play off in college as well?
High school and college are completely different. Bowl games are played for money. There are way too many teams in bowl games with mediocre records. More isn't always better...even football.
I think finishing on a competitive game though and with 1/2 teams winning would increase participation in a sport that shrunk. While yes bowl games are all about money now I believe there original intent was to give kids a reward for a hard season against an equal opponent
I guess the 4 teams will eliminate *some* of the 1/8 games and should definitely eliminate some of the long trips that can happen in week one. But it also has some negatives, you'll have some districts where you've got 2 or 3 really good teams and they eliminate each other in rapid succession where the district next door has 4 pretty average teams, one of which will stumble their way into the playoffs by virtue of fortunate geography.
I really don't care either way. Every time the system is tinkered with there are pros and cons and winners and losers.
I doubt class 6 will ever go away. I believe those schools have a lot of influence and would fight a change that would transform their smaller elite 32 bracket into a much larger pool. If the numbers continue to drop, I believe other classifications will be reduced in size rather than eliminating a classification.

What... you do know for high school sports that Football is the biggest revenue generator for most schools. Even a crappy game with half the stands full can cover its cost and then some just from the gate and then add in concessions profits when ran properly.
I know to add just one more game even if the stands are half full would be a boost for us.
For our booster club @BoosterBosko football brings in over half of our profits for the year thru concessions stand. That money in turns helps pay for many other programs needs.
Of course I know that football is the money maker for most schools. I'm saying that an extra game for a crappy team against another crappy team is just another crappy game. Not necessary to just make a bad team feel better about themselves for beating another bad team. Then the team that loses that game goes through another defeat. Now if you want to talk about a rivalry game, like Webster Groves and Kirkwood, then I could justify that...maybe.
Half of your profits through concession stands!? HA! The Ampipe booster club uses concession stands as a means for EXTRA income. We generate our funds in multiple "diverse" ways!
