How many years are we from just a Class C and no more C1 and C2 ?
Hopefully a lot of years away from this. C1 and C2 have more teams than A and B, yet the idea of combining them comes up on this board religiously. Its an illogical thought.
I see what you are saying but look at D1 and D2 they over 50 teams in a class, yet I bet most feel a D3 is out of the question When a D3 would bring numbers to what we have in C1 and C2
I don’t see an issue with a…
Except that isn't the actual way that it is, C has two classes, not sure why we don't do classification like several other states around us. There's not 4 classes of football, there are 7.
You sure about that This is Iowa classification
oh and PS Kansas has 8 classes of football. Maybe you are talking about other states around us
and this is South Dakota
You made my point, 4 classes isn’t that many so when you combine them down like you did I misunderstood your point.
No because plenty of 8 man teams should be playing six man. Or many 8 man teams should be co-opting with the town or two down road and playing 11 man.
IMO 37 teams per class for 8 man football is a little much. If that were to happen, playoffs would have to be 16 teams. (32 is ridiculous right now for D1 and D2. At least call the round of 32 a qualifying round like they did in the 90's.)
One issue would be teams that may move from 11 to 9 or from 9 to 8 on a fairly regular basis... What is the field size for 9 man? Some schools have only 80 x 40 fields...
other issue is teams in 9man woould have huge travel just to fill a regular season schedule
Stop. For the love of God. We do not need to be playing four different types of football in Nebraska. Just because two states that we border play 9-man doesn't mean it's a good fit, especially because those states that have 9-man don't have 8-man.
I would like to see regular field so it's easier to back and forth from 9 to 11. Some 8 man schools could adjust accordingly.
Not if some of the schools who opt down play 9 man or some of the top end D1 schools (Clarkson/Leigh, Cross County, etc.)
Travel will still be huge because you will not be able to play up or down a class, You will have about 30 schools to choose from for 9 games at max
Can't wait to have 4 our 5 classes in hoops. Hope it happens soon.
Don’t think that’s a good idea, not sure why you’re all bitching about having too many classes, lots of states have way more than 4 so just quit trying to change parts that aren’t broken.
Travel wouldn’t be nearly as bad as what you’d think. Definitely would be a lot easier than 6 man currently. And if 6 man teams make it work now why wouldn’t a class of 9 man be able to make it work???
We do not need the mess of 4 different types of football, it will never ever ever happen and you have to know this.
Nice. I hope that works out.
NG had some players when Boone won their state title in 2014.
Not really a Coop, The Diocese is forcing LHF to close. LHF on the other hand is trying to do a catholic school away from the Diocese and seeing if it works, I wish them luck.
As they should. Their enrollment is next to nothing and HSF is 9 miles down the road with room to take the majority of LHF students.
Totally agree with this. Some people who are die hard 8 man don't want to read a post like this because "8 man has a long standing tradition." 9 man would only help the schools, coaches and kids.
I've been saying it. But you have the people that think it is absurd. I honestly see nothing but positives that would come from it
My read is that the majority of the kids will end up at Humphrey High…. That will likely change as the years go on and the hurt goes away. Humphrey is actually in a bad spot…. With NG going with St. Ed and Leigh with Clarkson. I don’t know who Humphrey would coop with…. Hell will have to freeze over for the town of Humphrey to be all combined athletically. And Madison will never be an option.
