How many districts/regions and all current Division I privates remaining?

JV game at Notre Dame today called off by Irish.

Five classes has its benefits but the drawback would some some of the regions like the one that stretched from Grundy to Sequoyah. Tuition students at publics is an advantage but it's a big difference at the Division I private schools with no zone at all.

Silverdale 31 14

Five classes spreads out some regions way too far. Three-the old system-doesn't get as many playoff teams in as many want, plus has a fairly wide range of enrollments in each classification-at least compared to what we've gotten used to since 93. Go to four classes, send all the private schools to Division II, divide by football-playing schools, not by all schools as is done now. This isn't perfect either, 16 districts would be needed, eight regions wouldn't be enough and 12 would result in the same type of playoff mess. Since more than two teams from a district need to make the playoffs (think the Murfreesboro AAA district), end Week 0 and add an extra week of playoffs. 64 out of around 95 make it. Non-district games don't affect playoffs, just 1 vs 4, 2 vs 3 in the first round.

And if needed cut week 0, it should be easier to find games if non district games do not affect the playoffs.

Four classes in all of the major sports, all private schools to Division II, and add a week of playoffs in football since four classes would require sixteen districts instead of the old eight regions.

You must have watched a different game. Drove 50 yards after one fumble that's plenty of field and time for the defense to make a stop. Next fumble on the kickoff true just had to go 20 yards but again your defense could have made a stop or at least forced a field goal try and did neither. Third turnover was an interception in the end zone and Sequatchie drove 80 yards. That's not scoring directly off a turnover.

The story of the game was 250 yards rushing in the second half by Sequatchie. Boyd had three turnovers which should not have been impossible to overcome. Sequatchie had to go 50 yards for a TD after one of the fumbles. Sequatchie had unforced fumbles in the first half where they didnt lose the ball but it still resulted in punts after some success to start drives.

Some of the main playmakers last night and at least one of the most effective blockers were seniors. There is good talent in grades 9-11 but they will need to keep working and not just assume another year older automatically means better. Marion and Notre Dame, and maybe others, should be improved too.

I think Sequatchie was using ninth graders at both corners for at least part of the time.

250 yards rushing in the second half for Seq. 42-6 run until the final seconds.

Boyd scored with two seconds in game to make it that close.

OL pounded them in the second half and backs ran through tackles

Does a championship begin to lose value when it's won by such a team (whether or not rules are broken, either way)?

All true just game had better potential of staying closer longer. There was also no need to punt in the last second which resulted in another score for SP.

If a player is ruled eligible then it is found there is some sort of problem-whether it's deception or unintentional-games can still be forfeited.

In the Sequatchie game SP was up 21-7 with about two minutes left. Sequatchie would have had the ball first down at about the SP 6 but fumbled (a "questionable" fumble) and did not get a chance to score or run out the rest of the second quarter. SP likely would have won anyway and maybe won convicingly as it happened but being down 21-14 entering the third and taking the kickoff would have given underdog Sequatchie a lot more confidence than 28-7.

Also beat CCS

Tie vs marion, loss vs Bledsoe when they cleared the bench at the start of the fourth and lost a 26-6 lead. Wins vs Stone, Grundy, Silverdale. Should get a good test vs Notre Dame Monday.

Sequatchie 33-7 over Silverdale in JV tonight.

A few years ago there was some talk of closing LV-at least the 9-12 grades and students being moved to Howard. Or at least rising ninth graders going to Howard. The school and participation overall seems to be going backward, they could not even field a softball team last year and that is with eighth graders able to play there.
