Since every team has a BYE week would it not be possible for as team who changes classification to play in their appropriate class bye sliding into the schedule for the district games. This would allow the team to compete in the proper class and district. The team could still be eligible to play in the post season and would not have an advantage of playing in a lower class and having the numbers of a much larger school. The school who consolidates will be able to compete where they should be and would be able to compete inthe proper district and class. That would guarentee the consolidated school 4 or 5 games and the team could pick up a J V schedule on Mondays or Tuesdays for the the other 5 games of their season. Since the district seeds the playoffs those games are the importance of the schedule anyway. The remaining games are for bragging rights and in game practice for the post season. This would give the players time on the field playing as a team and NOT give a larger school the edge in play. (Mercer Co.)
The JV schedule may not need to happen as the the schools who are consolidating already have teams in their region who they play anyway. Those games could still happen but the main focus is the district games with the proper schools. !!!!!!
Just a thought ,, any response ???
