Massey figured it out. Why can't the IHSA?

The boy broadcaster just talked about how Lyons bided his time behind Pops Battle. WHILE HE WAS AT GRANITE CITY.

You can make an argument that the kid is a good student. And we want him/her to be apart of this great institution. Parents cleaning the bleachers after the game to work off the cost. Heck. Getting parents a job thru networking helps. There are many ways to help parents reduce the cost of tuition. Not sure how ethical some are. But if it’s legal, it doesnt matter.

It’s too bad you can’t figure out the general population, the population of the school and try to figure out how to come up with a math equation.

Belleville Althoff vs Sterling Newman with both being in 1A doesn’t seem so fair for Sterling Newman. With Belleville being able to draw from a bigger population than Sterling.

Obviously, the Chicago privates like Hope who can draw from Chicago population is different as well.

I dont care if all the privates won 1 - 8A as long as there was a fair way for the school enrollment to reflect the school population versus the population that the school can get from the surrounding communities.

Montini-Byron ending up 1-2 in a 1-32 setup (basically what you're asking) is FAR from guaranteed with the current Win-Loss and PP seeding formula. Yes N-S hurts it, but basically everything else is totally accidental one way or the other.

It really can't be done without totally subjective seeding, which of course is totally liable to get it wrong at any point also.

Did Ryan Day do a Eberflus at the end of the Buckeye game. I mean he called back to back timeouts. That’s sounds like something Eberflus would do. 😂

How many state champs had a tougher game on the road to the finals than the game in the finals.

For instance Montini was only a half yard better than Byron. Why were they playing Monticello?

The whole world knew Byron and Montini were the best teams in 3a.

Dude, I apologize. Caleb completely screwed up that last play. I don’t think he knew they had a TO.

Caleb 🙄

Now it all makes sense and why Eberflus continued to defend their operations and would do it all the same again.

If Caleb did what he was coached to do (throw the ball over the middle for a short gain and call TO) Eberflus still has a job.

Wow

1-32 seeding won't necessarily solve anything. Better than N-S? Yes. Good enough to make up for the additional travel time in classes? Probably no. Unless you can get at least the top 4 teams in separate quarters, regardless of W-L, you're gonna often get mismatched semis and finals. 1-32 seeding far from guarantees that.
