Greenfield would have a chance at that game as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverpie Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Indiana dropped the single-class tournament in 2007. Kentucky and Delaware are the last holdouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the best team of the three classes for sure. (A - AA - AAA) Also beat the Private State Champ. TCA They beat the SMALL private state champ. Ensworth is a totally different animal.

TCA I don’t know about that, I’m not convinced they would have won 1A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachHolly7 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I am not so sure T$$AA would make near enough money by doing this. They are still trying to recover from battling Flatt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradertwo Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'm not sure that teams/coaches would buy in either. Would you enjoy winning a championship in AA/AAA and potentially losing to a lower classification team in the TOC? Would definitely tarnish the shine of the gold ball.

I wouldn't want to tarnish a Gold Ball. Those things are so hard to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does remove some importance. Either teams are going to be focused on winning State or TOC. Can't focus and expend maximum effort to do both. In a vacuum, a TOC would be a great idea, especially for fans; but in practice, there is a lot you have to take into account physically and mentally. It is a grind to make a deep playoff run, let alone win state. It wouldn't remove all the importance of winning state. That would obviously still be an accomplishment. But, it would no longer be the penultimate achievement, as it should. The only way I'd ever see having a single champion in the state would be to get rid of classifications, like KY. That won't happen, as we are only adding more. Too many teams would be mad. TSSAA wouldn't make extra money from it. No incentive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
