Chadwick vs Delta

[Razzy417]

This game represents all that is wrong with how MSHSAA sets up the post season

Delta is ranked #2 in Class 1 and Chadwick is #5 and they face one another in a sectional game. These teams should be matched up later but now one of the best teams will lose and be done for the season.

Chadwick travels 4 hours one way to Delta on a Tuesday night to play this game, in a gym that seats 900 people

Teams should be reseeded after districts are over and the games should be played at a neutral site. And they shouldn't have to make a 4 hour trip to get to the game site, especially when the game is during the week. Much less at a small gym with one team having home court advantage.

Hartville boys coach Brett Reed agrees (see link below). His team, ranked #2 in Class 2, is getting ready to play the #1 ranked Class 2 team (Eugene) in a sectional game

It is also wrong when the 1 seed has to play a road game in the district championship game

The teams in the district vote on where the district will be held. This vote is usually early in the season well before the district is seeded.

After you win districts the Sweet 16 or Sectionals should be reseeded, and 1 plays 16 and so forth.

Disagree. Most coaches only know about the quality of teams in their geographic area, especially in the smaller classes. Ranking of teams after districts would be a total crapshoot. And if you did so, what if team 8 is in the NW part of the state and team 7 is in the bootheel. That’s a heck of a road trip. They do need to go back to neutral sites for sectionals and quarterfinals but other than that the current system is better than trying to seed the playoffs
