He figured he would return the visit since the entire Yates coaching staff came over for the HJ/Silsbee game.

Very possible we get a 7:30 start tonight. Girls game going well. I will start my broadcast at 7:15 regardless.

Yep

I tend to agree. Never should have split football. My only thing is why does football get this "fairness" act and disregard the travel issues but then folk want to use the travel issues when discussing splitting the other sports and want to say "well life isn't fair". Pretty two faced.

He should have transferred to a Private or an academy months ago. The writing on the wall was pretty clear. Senior year down the tubes. Shame

85, are you for the divisional districts in football?

This was the exact problem before.

Since the building powerhouse Hamshire-Fannett went with HJ into a Huffman district, I say Silsbee.

Silsbee full schedule: Scrimmage 8/14 Livingston Scrimmage 8/20 Brownsboro (site TBD) Week 1 vs. Vidor Week 2 at Jasper Week 3 vs. Nederland Week 4 vs. Pleasant Grove (site TBD) Week 5 vs. Orangefield Week 6 at Liberty Week 7 vs. WO-S Week 8 at Bridge City Week 9 vs. Hamshire-Fannett Week 10 at Hardin-Jefferson Week 11 Bye

That certainly would not work. I know some 4A school districts that have a city population of only 2000.

Been two for many, many years. You can't just have 1 open date if you have an odd number of teams in the district and you play everyone twice. Now sometimes teams schedule a non district game in one of those open dates.

Then that would be 32 teams making playoffs out of 39, which is 82%.

If it meant for them to face more equal number size teams and gives them a better chance to make playoffs (aka football) I'm pretty sure the majority would be ok with extra travel. On a resume, wins and playoff success far out weigh the travel it took to accomplish those things.

Oh, so this is about the "fans", not about "fairness"? I said this many times. Policies, regulations, decisions should never factor the fan in when concerning high school sports. It's about the schools, athletes, coaches and students. Not the fans.

Personally, I never had a problem with separating playoff teams into divisions after district play. I'm just wondering why in football it's all about "fairness" and travel is not a factor but in other sports travel is a factor and "fairness" is not?

What makes one think it's not broke? Any playoff system that allows 80% of it's teams to make the playoffs seems broken to me. I'm just wondering why fairness was the big factor in creating divisional districts in football but not considered in doing them in other sports? Travel was certainly not a factor when making those divisional football districts.
