Have you never been to a Trinity X game?

I realize that it is early, but I look forward to the chest puffing next year when Mercer may get to see the Birds or the Colonels in AAAAA, two teams that they should be on the level with this season.

How does missing a game hurt your yards per game on any stat?

OK, you are correct that this can not apply to the schools that are in Trinity's district. When your talking districts that cover several counties down state, their is a larger desparity. That desparity is very normal between Trinity and the other members of their district. My point to this thread is, how does it hurt to replay your regular season rivalries in the playoffs? One answer was that if you get beat 56-0 by a one seed, it is less exciting to play them again. My point is that you are normally going to be hurting against any one seed, except for the few exceptions, unless your one seed was one of the best in the state. I like the idea of one team coming out of each district, then one team coming out of each region. After all, shouldn't you have to win your region before you win state:D . Now I know that some people don't agree, but so be it.

Thats my point. In the NKY district, the four is usually competative with the one. That is not the case in the districts bought up where the one seed beat the four 56-0. There will be a much larger gate in NKY this weekend playing one another than playing Ballard, Shelby or so on. They are replays of rivalry games.

Here is the difference. If your four seed is so bad that they got beat by 56 they they are going to get beat that bad traveling to another district's one seed. Bad four seeds don't bring fans to far away playoff games. Your not losing out on any opponent fan's gate. If your home home fans don't attend the game because they are going to win, that is their fault. In districts that are competative with one another, this is going to lower travel cost and greatly increase the gate by having RIVALS play one another in the first round of the playoffs. I can't wait till tonight to watch Boone and Campbell play again, not to mention Ryle and Dixie. The traveling team is saving money in both cases, and the gate is going to be huge.

Excellent post! You hit the nail right on the head. Very informative to those who care to listen.

Define Testy?

That is because there is such a difference between your one and four seed. It is greatly going to help attendance in NKY AAAA this year. The four seed Campbell County beat the one seed Boone during regular season. The two seed Ryle beat the three seed Dixie by just two points last week. These two games are both going to draw huge crowds and should be battles. The only way it doesn't help attendance is if the teams within a district are not competative with one another.

No doubt. I just hadn't thought about that team. I watched the finals that year. Loaded isn't the word.

Lets call it what it is. Ryle needs to come out hateful. Thats what it will be about. Physical destruction in the trenches.

Its the largest township in the state of Ohio, and they have open enrollment.

Do you mean Mitchell?

I had totally forgot about Station in 99. I was kind of thinking that GRC from 91 might have held the record.

Im just making sure, but since it is going to be at Cov in the second round, will it be on a Saturday?

I would put Cov at two and Highlands at three.

You are correct. How many times in the last ten years has the Ohio state championship really been decided early in the playoffs between two Cincy schools? How many times in the last 20 years has the AAA state champ been decided in Park Hills or Ft. Thomas in the third round of the playoffs. There should only be one team out of each class come out of each area. That is why it is called district, then region.

The thing is that the tiebraker has not changed. This is the same tiebraker that has been used in the past. It has nothing to do with the fact that the first two playoff games are within district this season.

I don't understand what is wrong with coming out of your own district first. This is great for NKY AAAA. It is going to create large gates between local rivals.

Im sorry. I was still stuck on talking to Green Nation.

Man with no safety? Looked that way every play 59-56.

Have you seen some of the talent that he lost with? Lets not forget running cover 0 every down against one of the best passing teams in the history of the state.

How many A schools have had five division I athletes in the same year? How many A schools have had five d I athletes in the same amount of time as Danville. I am not knocking coach Harp, but please tell me a school with more athletes in A ball than Danville.

Football and Basketball are apples and oranges. You shouldn't physically play more than one football game per week, not even mentioning the preparation time that football takes. Basketball can be played several days in a row and takes much less preparation time. EVERYONE makes the "playoffs" in basketball, no matter what their record. You play 15 games in football if you make the state finals. IMO, thats not too many games.

Are You SERIOUS?
