First round district game mileage

[CaptainMullet]

Did a little poking around just for the heck of it.
In Class 1 District 2, if the current seeing holds, Chaffee would be the 6 seed and would travel in the district quarterfinals to Tipton... a mere 272 miles.
This district just blows my mind.
With the exception of Portageville and Charleston (which are both within an hour of Chaffee but in a different district) THERE ARE LITERALLY NO CLASS 1 SCHOOLS FURTHER AWAY.

Pierce City may host Hayti in the 1st round as well at 300 miles and 5 hours

.5 strikes again.

I'm tired of this whining and complaining. Let's have two classes and that's it. 8 man and class 1.

.5 strikes again.

had to hold it at 36 for some reason.

Only a fool didn't see capping at 40 with 8 districts of 5 teams would work out better.

How the heck do these guys get on the football committee anyways? Seems like a way to set things up for yourselves.

Just split classes evenly? it's not rocket surgery.

So.. Class one has a play-in game? Winner of Hayti/PC gets #1 Marionville?

Better hope Marionville beats AG. ( i think they will of course)

Otherwise the top seed might be Portageville.
Might be anyways if Pville can win their last two games. Their schedule isn't creampuff city.

4 classes and 1 Private school class (5 total) would solve a lot of these issues. Drop 8 all together.

Creampuff schedule, I guess that meaning playing local schools in your own classification.

It is touching that you are so concerned about the creampuffs having to travel so far.

Yes killing programs and playing school more than 2x their size would solve everything

Quality of playoff football has become so watered down with all these classes that very average teams get to make deep playoff runs every year that don't belong there. I know we live in the "everybody gets a trophy" era, but consistent blowouts in state championship games year after year should be raising some red flags. How about trying to make state championship games the highest quality, and best competition possible?
Last years championship results:
Class 1- 42-0
Class 2- 32-27
Class 3- 46-7
Class 4- 42-0
Class 5- 49-21
Class 6- 35-28
8 Man- 52-24

Roughly 343 schools have football in Mo. Roughly 489 in baseball, and 555 in basketball (Both on 6 classes). Make it make sense why football needs more classes than these two sports.

 

[freezeoption]

I said, 2 classes. 8 man and 11 man. Quit whining.

Class 1 = East Buch had an all timer of a team and Adrian flat out didn't show up. Plus, Adrian was missing a stud d-lineman that might have helped stop the bleeding some.

Class 2 = One for the ages

Class 3 = Recruited super team

Class 4 = Recruited super team

Class 5 = Francis Howell was a superior team last year. Great QB. First ever title for them.

Class 6 = Great game

8 man = Good game

Football is a contact sport so to be safe and fair 6 classes are probably fine. But it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to cap Class 1 at 4 (9 team districts). Dumb!

Indeed. To be fair, they were smart and scheduled 'up' for some easy wins. That doesn't prepare you for the playoffs though.

Apparently.

I do have a concern about the travel distances. That's when kids start quitting and teams go to 8 man.

That EB team, or the previous year's team, probably would not have beaten many of the Valle or Penney HS championship teams.

Not too sure about that.

 

[Stagolee]

Not too sure about that.

Class 1 has been brutal the last few years.

 

[Veer2Eternity]

Not too sure about that.

Fishing for what? It's my opinion. Not looking for approval.

The deep runs have way more to do about how the post season is set up than the quality. There are districts that have 3 plus top teams in their district. That happens in the other sports you mentioned as well. If the purposes was to have the best possible championship game then we’d have a set up more like Illinois.

Football is different than all other sports. If you can’t see that then idk how to explain it to you. HS sports is about teaching life lessons and building memories. If you want to take that away because of quality then I’d seriously question what kind of person you are.

I don’t see them beating New Madrid, personally.

Maybe. That's a good class 2 opponent.
