Lest we forget, the whole six class system was born from no-one wanting to play Trinity and St. Xavier.  Which became this whole public vs. private debate, when really it was just Trinity and St. Xavier.  What people really wanted was Trinity and St. Xavier to be in their own class. 

Let's not kid ourselves. 

It was more than that Ram but I agree with you the public/private thing got the ball rolling.  This is a very good read and couple of the things in that thread, OMG, lol lol lol.

Yea, but the theory, as it stands, for football is:  the more boys you have in the school makes you more likely to have a better football team.  So, if we extrapolate that to basketball, wouldn't more boys in the hall mean you would have a better chance of having a better basketball team? 

Well the clear difference is it’s easier to find 5 quality players than it is 22 but obviously the bigger you are and the more people you have to choose from the easier it is to field a quality team in whatever sport you play.

That's what people say, but why can't Army and Navy play with Alabama and Georgia?  Both big schools.  How about Harvard?  

What if I have 900 little smart guys, but you have 100 Greek Gods?

1. install a promotion and relegation system. The Beechwoods and CALs move up, the Western Hills and Shawnees move down. 

 

We used this for our Tough Topic this past week on TCOP. 

This week's tough topic came from @theguru:

Should we do away with districts and seed the playoffs based on RPI?

BGPreps has been a good source for our Tough Topics recently. 

 

Coach Bathiany on after a tough loss this past week. Should be a good interview.

He did a really good job and his mindset was very good as well. His mental health may be too good to be a football coach.  ? 

I’ve heard that Raceland would play a weak team in the first round and a lot of the opposing teams players would tell the Raceland players to just get this game over with that they couldn’t understand why they were in the playoffs to begin with!

I’ve heard even much worse and shared it on our podcast that comes out Thursday.  Very discouraging.
