If you have more good teams in a class that leads to more good teams in the playoffs when it matters. That is simple mathematics nothing g to do with coaching or haves and have nots. If you go from say 30 teams in a class to 45 those teams that are getting blown out in the semi finals are losing in 1st and 2nd rds instead of the 4th rd. This leads to more talented teams playing when the stakes are highest meaning more entertaining games for us to enjoy.
Take Pikeville for example. They have had pretty much a cake walk to the finals. If we were down to 4 classes Pikevilles road might look like
1st Cupcake
2nd Hazard
3rd Raceland
4th Beechwood
5th Mayfield
If you thru that gauntlet you deserve to be called state champion. Just think what the road would look like for some of the other classes as well. That would be a lot more entertaining than a 58-0 semifinals
