[2000PHS]

This is a hill I die on every time this gets brought up.

I’ll always want kids to play as many games as possible regardless of record. One more game for some teams is another week of practice that may not matter to many, but for some it’s one more week before they hang up the pads, possibly forever.

I get the argument against it, but it will always be my stance.  Plus, that one more game to go live rounds for some back ups on the best squads is also good.

I have other problems I dislike more than a blowout week in playoffs.

I agree 100 percent and I repeat the same point every time that anybody suggests reducing the number of teams in the playoffs so that the first round games are more enjoyable to the people in the stands. More football is better football. If players are eager for their seasons to end, then that is on the coaches and school administrators for not doing a better job.

Coach Peck, when he was at Phelps, said on the record in a newspaper, he did not see the benefit of Phelps traveling to Fairview (who went to state finals) to play in the 1st round. Sometimes things just need a reset. 

I’m for top 2 in district making the playoffs. 

However, all of this is a 1st world problem that can live with either way lol
