I think playing District games should not be played until around late December or early January. This gives teams time to get things going in the right direction and also gives football players a chance to adapt to basketball season. In the end these teams that are "football schools" suffer from these early district games if there basketball teams lose while they are still in the playoffs. Everyone knows how important these district games are at the end of the year and it is crucial to have the best players available for these games. A good example of this is Hazard, who struggled to beat Buckhorn without Andy Blank.
