Here is my thoughts on this. I think the boys enjoy the extra weeks of football. After all, did you want to play more or less games when you were young. I also think it gives them a little more experience. So who cares if a bunch of old fat guys setting around don't like the extra football. If they don't like it, don't go that week and start attending a week later. Why should the boys cut down on their fun to please you?

I would love to see them take out that week and start a playoff with the six champions. You'll still get your state championship for that class but play for a true state championship as well. I know everyone will automatically say that 6A would win every year, but I've seen teams in lower classes that could have beaten anyone during that year. Just imagine this year if after the normal state title game, Mayfield v. DeSales, Belfry v. Highlands, Trinity v. Pulaski, or you could just have them draw and it could end up anyway like, Mayfield v. Belfry, DeSales v. Pulaski, Highlands v. Trinity. That's definitely one tournament i would not miss.

As others have pointed out, being a 3 seed, Trinity would not have made the playoffs to be in such a tournament.

That has no bearing on what I said in my post. Trinity won the state championship. That's all the requirement they'd need in my "fantasy" tournament that will never happen. Regardless they would have made it, but DuPont Manual would not have. I'm just talking about dropping the last team and adding a "bye," and this could be at the end.

I got no problems with 6 classes. Most districts have 4 teams in them some more and a couple less. My problem is that first weekend of playoffs. Lets cut it down to top 2 teams making playoffs and finish the season thanksgiving weekend. Kids are already out of school and mom and pops are usually off those weekends.

Let's start basketball season a week earlier, High school football already has the fewest games of any sport in High school. This would also mean a 9-1 or a 8-2 team could miss the playoffs entirely. How does this make sense at all. It is the number of classes not the number of playoff games.

I for one like our current system. I think the kids do as well. This is after all, supposed to be about them.
