Wingman stuck with the fat girl.
Would you consider/support a success factor applied to the public’s? Lena Winslow, Rochester, ESL, Cary Grove, etc…
Why? Why not?
if more people are willing to compete at the proper level we wouldn’t need success factors or multipliers. Unfortunate most don’t like to challenge themselves and always want an easy path. I commend LA and St Rita for petitioning to the level in which they feel they are capable of playing.
Multiplier takes care of the level. My question is about the Success Factor and whether or not it should be applied to Public’s who have had long sustained success like the teams mentioned above (and possibly more).
If teams would be willing to play at the level they are capable of playing, there wouldn’t be a need for success factor for either public or private.

Agreed. Would love to see Le Win, Rochester, CG and ESL (getting allowed by their conference) play up 1 or 2 levels. We know ESL wants to but can’t.
The interesting thing about Tri-Valley is when CCHS went to their place and won in round 2, TV's head coach Josh Roop was 100% class. He never complained about a private v public. Instead, he invited CCHS to join their team and pray together after the game. He called CCHS and their 34 total players in its program "David's Mighty Warriors", which is a reference to King David's warriors who went through enemy lines and retrieved water for David. I was honestly blown away by his actions and will be a fan and admirer of Tri-Valley and Coach Roop from here on out.
All.... The Southwestern Conference which ESTL plays in is the only conference that pulled that nonsense and VOTED not to allow the Flyers to petition the Ihsa and play up in 7A and 8A. All other schools in the state are free to play up immediately. Ratsy
