I completely disagree but can respect your position. I’m impressed that you seem to only have an issue with JC’s most recent state title out of all 14 of theirs, as the others were in a classification at the average of those they played all season long.
And while I understand why you may be saying “show me more” after JC won 5A in 2018, that is completely ignoring the context of the program at the time. They had missed the playoffs in consecutive years. Maybe you say “well that is because they were playing 7a and 8a school.” Ok fair enough, but they had been in 5A from 2009 to 2015 and not once won a title and only twice even made it to the state final. It is clear they belong pretty squarely in 5A in the late 2010s.
And all their titles prior to their 2018 one were in a class where they belonged given the existence of football enrollment and placing them in a class with the average enrollment of their regular season opponents. It seems as if your initial angst is with programs that dominated 5A after football enrollment went away and that is Montini 4 times and SHG 2 times. naz and JC have one 5A title each in that time. But it seems as if the real issue you have is with Montini rolling off 4 titles and SHG 2 in that 2009 to 2014 stretch.
And I would really stop posting the issues with that now because Naz is now up in 7a, JC is still not re-establishes as a powerhouse program so their classification is not an issue, Montini has won a title at 6a since their 5A dominance and much of their 5A dominance was when they played a smaller SCC schedule, and SHG had a nice 2 year run and never really plays an overwhelming conference schedule, so their two 5A titles seem appropriate. Just my thoughts. I think I understand what you are saying though I disagree. And given all the facts just listed, there just doesn’t seem to be much reason for you to continue saying “you shouldn’t be in 5A” or schools are cleaning up against “less sophisticated programs.” Unless JC, Rita, Montini, or SHG replicates a string of dominance like Montini and SHG did a few years ago, it seems that nobody is placed inappropriately long term. In fact as long as those programs join Hillcrest, sycamore, Laurence, Rochester, etc in 5A, whoever wins it will have more than earned it.
