  1. Thanks Prep. I'm aware of the format since I grew up there and still own a house there. That's what I was talking about in Region 4. Someone said they though 1-4 in Belfry's district would sweep. But it didn't. I figure some 3's from a district can beat the 2's of another district, but I doubt many 4s beat 1s like you said. I really say do away with the first round. Back in the 80's (God I'm old), the district championship was determined within the season. For us it always came down between Russell and Belfry (I went to Russell).

     

    But the truth of this whole conversation comes down to dollars. They will claim it gives schools an opportunity to play a playoff game and maybe upset the other school, but let's be real, it's about the money generated by the extra week.

     

     

    Play 2 Win .... the way KY sets this up does not take a single 4 team district and have "1 play #4, # 2 play #3 in the opening round. It's a # 1 from one district, playing a # 4 from a different district and so on and so forth. Round 2 finds teams playing other teams within the district in which they played the regular season. There are probably are some 3's that will beat a 2, but agree with you, not many 4's beating a 1. Kentucky cannot continue to have 192 teams out of 221 (87%) make the playoffs. Until they seriously look to change the format, first round games will continue to be a waste of time (for the most part) IMO
  2. If you read the update on Coach McGlone in the Daily Independent, Apparently he was offered a farewell season and he said he'd rather stay three. Apparently that was not an option. I don't know what the thought process is within the administration and I have mixed emotions. I have great respect for Coach. When a coach gives you 38 years and builds a tradition and teaches life lessons to his players, you have to be willing to give him the one year. But if it is the intent and right of the administration to go a different direction and the coach says I want three more years, that makes it a very tough call.
