Early, unofficial classifications based on enrollments.

wouldn't adding another class just water it down even further? I am not even sure they needed to add Class 6 when they did.

Is it watering it down or level the playing field? I mean you are dividing the classes based on the next 64 with no regard to how big the gap may be, not based on actual enrollment sizes. If you lived in a prefect world were the 64 schools in each class were very similar or close too enrollment sizes and not a huge gape, then yes I would say the argument that creating more classes would just be watering it down. But that is not the case, example you have a school of 700 competing against a school of 1273 just because that is where the next 64 fit fall in. And 573 more kids in a affluent area large city probable will have a large impact talent wish over 700 kids from a rural area where over 64% are on reduced lunches.

no doubt you have a point, but to that end, where does it stop? I mean do we go to eight.... ten?... That would make all the enrollments closer, for sure.

I don't have an answers for sure, but with 5 playoff games with 64 could you shorten it back down to just 4 games with 48? I mean we all want a level playing field but I could see player safety is another concern and reason as it would shorten the season and wear and tear on the players.

Sounds like someone is worried they are going to class 4

If we move up we move up. Back in the 80's Monett went to class 3 as a school with enrollment of only 400 kids and back then all you had was 4 classes, not like we have not done it before, at least we do move up, unlike others who some how stay in the same class for decades?

So, if you can't beat the "some others," just keep watering it down until you get in a class that you can win.

Obviously a jab at Webb City, whose district you will be in if you go class 4.
 
7 classes plus 8 man, some of those class 1 schools may be 8 man in the future, so there will be four games on Friday and four on Saturday at the dome

Monett last jumped up a class in 1979, Webb City last moved up in 1982. My rural education tells me they both have stayed in their same respective classes for decades with one slightly longer than the other
