You have to play three in a row at state to win it. I would be afraid that they would get out of shape and get sloppy. McKenzie will likely have 2 weeks off right before you tip it off?? It's tough because you have to weigh the importance of playing and practicing. While not playing any games for multiple weeks before entering region is obviously bad, do you want to have to rush through playing district without getting adequate rest (plus possibly not being in shape from the long layoff). I'm sure there are a number of teams that practiced during the snow stuff, but I know there are a number that weren't allowed. If kids don't work on their own, that's a week plus of doing nothing. Jumping into playing three games in 3-4 days isn't a good idea if they've lost some conditioning. Whole situation is a Catch 22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie’s case might not have been so bad, but they are playing district now. Region 7 won’t have a substate so if the skipped District that would put them about 3 games in a month. I agree though it is not an ideal situation. Has negatives both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it set that Region 7&8 will not have a substate game this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single-A having all SCS in Region 8 certainly changes things up and makes the decision weirder. At the end of the day, you want your team to be playing their best basketball when it counts.
