    Hate the 4 teams advancing particularly in districts that have 6 teams or less. Heck, if this starts next season, then 4 of the 5 teams in 20-3A (Carthage, Center, Diboll, Huntington and Jasper) will advance to playoffs. That's ridiculous!!


    [b]Also saw where they will be voting on limiting basketball and baseball to 2 tourneys (not 3) and 21 total games played before playoffs. Do not like that and not sure coaches will like that as well[/b].

    Does it really save that much money by cutting out a tournament?  I don't get the UIL

    It does keep athletes in class. They miss too much instruction time already. It seems that, for most sports, the UIL's proposed changes gave opportunities to make up the tournament with matches scheduled for times outside the school day. As a teacher, I HATE that spring sports pull so many kids out of class for so many days.

    I do agree with the sentiments expressed on this thread about 4 teams going to playoffs. It is ridiculous for 4 teams out of 5 or 6 teams to make the playoffs.

  22. Tarkington @ Cleveland Predictions

    As with most young teams, Tarkington's play has been inconsistent, but improving weekly. I don't know if they will beat Cleveland, but I expect a competitive game and I expect more victories this year. Someone said they would go 3-3 in district, which is a realistic expectation. We'll see which column this week's game goes into on Friday night. One difference observed this year at Tarkington is that these guys believe they can win, even if they are behind, and there's always a chance they will. Cleveland has good athletes and coaches, and I think they have the best chance of being the third or perhaps the second place team in district this year, but you never know. That's why we play the games on Friday night.
