Everyone that says it should be about the kids. Let them decide. Ask a kid that’s won 4
Games in 4 years if he wants to travel over
An hour and get killed? If I were a kid in HS. My vote would be no. A month practice and 4 games over 4 years isn’t going to equate to a kid getting any noticeably better. It’s not gonna make the difference in a scholarship. The only thing that i might would have wanted to play another game was if I was real close to breaking a record. But that doesn’t have very often at all. So let the kids decide and vote. No side on this can be correct if “it’s about the kids”. How do any of us know what’s better for another young adult. After a young age I never considered sports being a “participation award”. You earn what you get. If I were still a kid my thoughts wouldn’t change. Having everyone go to the playoffs is like everyone getting equal playing time.

Yeah, I just don't see anything worthwhile about Lynn Camp travelling over Pikeville to be behind 35-0 after 8 minutes.  No one really benefits from a game like that. I'm okay with adding another game to the regular season  but these Pikeville-Lynn Camp ,  Connor -Frederick Douglass games have no redeeming value for anyone involved.

I just can’t possibly see any utilities from everyone making the playoffs. Like I said one game a year, not gonna benefit. You wouldn’t benefit from working out 1 week a year. Plus if you take out a playoff game, that’s less toll it takes from these kids. There’s a reason why other sports allow everyone to make it, it doesn’t take as much out of the kids. I don’t even think Ky middle school lets everyone in their state tournament do they? Or they could have switched it too. Not sure. But like you said, ask the kids from Lynn camp and see if they want to go to pikeville. They will go because of the pride they have. But if it was a team option, nahhh. Heck look at
the teams that’s canceled in the past. It’s always a low seed. Or even this year.  I’m sure they have enough players to play, but why? Their starters are suspended and even with them they didn’t hardly win.
