Used to be every 5 days too! I remember Tipton traveling to Hayti on a week night to play in a play off game. Mr. Norman, bless his soul, told coaches and players to be at school the next day.. If the story is correct, that would be a short night.
Meanwhile in Class One
- Thread starter kaching
- Start date
Class 1 can go over the 2.0 differential as in the lowest school could possibly be a 40 enrollemt school so the 2.0 break would be 80 but as we know Class 1 goes beyond as such and that is why Class 1 is different and does not follow the 2.0 rule.
the important part is class .5 is way over the 2.0 'limit' anyways with 82 to 172.
so why not go to 8 districts of 5 teams to balance it out geographically?
Logic
Playoff games i can understand. Districts should at least be regional.
Here, here! That post was A LOT of words AND had numbers mixed in!!
Here here now James.... You are a fraud.. A Michigan Alum! REALLY? You must be behind this sign stealing mess too!

Let me guess if it was the bottom 40 Adrian would be class 1 and then they could avoid their likely curb stomping from Lamar?
Would you be calling it class .5 if Adrian was in it?
The good news is with as many teams that keep going 8 man Adrian could find themselves back in class 1 soon enough.
Nah it makes no sense to have 4 districts of 9 teams literally from one side of the state to the other.
To be the man, you gotta beat the man. No matter what level of the playoffs.
To keep it as close to the 2.0 margin as possible. To increase that number takes it further up from that margin. If you then look at the rest then you have those even numbers throughout 2-5 of 56/57 respectfully and of course 6 is just different.
So 176 would have been so much worse than 172?
That smallest team in .5 (which said before the season they were going 8 man next year) played a 176 this season. They survived. No score was ran up.
Also going from 172 to 176 means going from 2.1 to 2.15
Not really a good argument imo to make the ridiculous districts they did.
You already posted this on ANOTHER thread! So...SPAM!!! But again, that says James A BAFFICO!! NOT BOSKO!!! Plus, it is well known that I went to NEBRASKA!!! NICE TRY BOZO!!!
Well, well, well...the REAL FRAUD is YOU!!! NICE TRY!!
I don't think the margin is that significant the lower you go. You are literally dividing out from the very bottom in class 1 so that number is a little skewed.
Class .5 with only 36 teams is a very watered down class.
Nothing against those kids and good luck to all the teams in that class but the big argument with this 2.0 margin doesn't really mean that much to me for Class 1 considering you are using the smallest school as your base divider for the margin.
Maybe I am wrong but I just don't think this was a smart move.

yep that 2.1 turns into 1.68 if you go to the 2nd smallest 11 man team.
But the powers that be knew that. Will they readjust since WN was going 8 man anyway? Midway had really good numbers at 102 enrollment.
Shouldn't ask questions you already know the answer to. But I will say, it has been impressive by Veer the way he's kept after MSHSAA's ass for 10 weeks on this subject. '23 will always be what could have been for his boys, but I think he might actually change some minds if he keeps beating the drum. GIVE US 40!
Don't feel sorry for them, if the rolls were reversed they would happily welcome you to Hayti Heights and see how high they can run it up & send you on your way. Just a part of the game.
I'm just getting started. It's amazing what a few calls to legislators can do to clarify what's happening.
10 hour drives before the playoffs isn't part of the game. Regional districts? Ya that's part of the game.

Go Veer Go!
Pierce City has some big classes coming up. If they get bumped up, I'll be going into Class 0.5 mode as well.
I had a rain day, so I read the whole misha post. It seems they want to keep Class 2 through Class 5.5 schools from playing other schools twice their size in the districts. To accomplish this, they totally wrecked Class 1 districts in Southern Missouri. When open enrollment is in play, Class 1 will probably become a memory. Why go play 8-man at Jasper when I can play real football at Carthage?
5 classes evenly split.

Honestly 6 evenly split would make the most sense so it will never happen. Too many agendas on the board.
All joking aside.
I think the way class 1 districts is setup is asinine. But you could fix the problem many ways even with the current 36 schools.
Defeats the purpose of a “district” if the the district covers from one side of the state to the other.

it makes since to me that the top 4 teams make it to the playoffs and save teams the utter embarrassment of a beat down of a 40 points loss.
It should be at least 40 teams. If the largest team is not 2x the smallest, then you can go greater than 40. And it should be 8 districts, not 4. And for Pete’s sake, rank Top 10, not 5.
There aren't 10 teams to rank in the current crop of 0.5
class .5 should of been 4 team districts. Does anyone at MSHSAA knows what for 4 Teams districts are!!…. Yes they’re would be still 28 or 36 teams not playing but still the travel freaking ridiculous crazy.

There are still 10 best out of 36 (or the 40 I suggested). Just because they may not be as good as a top 10 team in Class 2 doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a Top 10 in Class 1. It is a comparison of their peers.
I agree. It's disrespectful to the "also receiving votes" kid's teams.
They're not in the suburbs, so let's just rank 5 of 'em.

Will make it that much sweeter when an unranked team wins a state title.
Happens all the time.
