[Wildcat18]

@Wildcat18 - you are entitled to your opinion as such. However I can assure you that we do not take any steps to give any one particular any kind of "advantage" with regards to home field. If it works out for a team, it works out. We've have #1 seeds travel to neutral sites in the past to accommodate them playing a team traveling a great distance.

I think this is a non-issue. If your team wants to be a state champion, you can't be afraid to play anyone anytime anywhere. That's my opinion on the matter.

My team actually got the better end of the deal on the current format of the bracket so I'm not commenting based on my team. North Laurel is the one really getting the screws put to them in my opinion. I'm looking at the bigger picture. I just want you all to work out the kinks and get it right for the future. You had Northern and Southern (your top 2 seeds in the region) traveling all the way to Johnson County to play each other last year. That made absolutely no sense whatsoever, especially when your #1 seed Southern had both teams competing. You would think this is a non-issue and in all honesty, I expected that response from you or any other board member. I do appreciate all you guys do, but there are definitely flaws that need to be fixed and they seem to be repetitive every year. I've mentioned 2 and would also throw in the Whitley County issue from two years ago into that mix. As far as I'm concerned, the bracket is set and rolling. I never expected a change, just wanted to make everyone aware as I felt (and still feel) that there is a problem with the point distribution, specifically in this region. Good luck to all teams and I'm confident that the best team will come out on top. I've said it once and I'll say it again. I'll be surprised if your state champion from D-1, D-2, and 7th grade doesn't come from Region 4.
