We do have too many classes.  We should never have a running clock in a state semifinal game. No disrespect to those teams but they should have been beat out weeks ago if not for this watered down system. How many of the games were ever in question?
I'm predicting at least 1 more running clock in the finals. I could see as many as 3 games, 1a, 3a and 5a, having a running clock or at least close to it. After all the build up it's just a let down not to see more competitive games. Hopefully I'm wrong about some of these finals matchups but the only ones I am really looking forward to are 2a and 4a.

Or ….we just stop talking about this and let the kids enjoy a kids game

I doubt if any of the NCC, Holy Cross, Lloyd or Ashland kids had much fun last night.

During my playing days which was before the running clock we were blown out 1 time. I had zero fun during the game. It took me a couple weeks to mentally get over the beat down we received. Don't see how any kid would enjoy that.

But you realize there were running clocks in the years of 4 classes as well, right?  

In Boyle's run to 5 straight it was during 4 Classes.  Rebels pasted defending champ Middlesboro in '99, 66-14.  In '00 it was 56-8 over Prestonsburg.  

How many blowouts did HHS or Trinity have in the semi-finals?  

Class numbers are fuel to the thought but there were blowouts long before there were 6 classes.
