They should get a chance to opt down to class B. Open enrollment in Lincoln/Omaha has created a monster that needs to be dealt with. How about sitting out a year if you transfer, and you have to live in the district? The open enrollment problem is not new, but its made the entire metro a joke unless you are the top couple schools for each sport. How can we say this is nothing more than a sports first attitude? Aren't we here for the kids' well being? Also, if a coach is destroying an opponent, and they know its no contest, suit up younger guys and take the foot off the pedal so you don't get a bunch of guys hurt.

I agree with your Seeds 1-5, really consistent with what I have.

Where I think some things need to be looked at are:

Mitchell - Wheatland, WY must win there next 2 games in order to jump tiers and give Mitchell the additional 6 points. I don't think that happens. That being said, I have them at 369 and an 11 Seed.

Valentine - 6 Seed w/ win vs Kearney Catholic. Loss moves them to 12.

Kearney Catholic - 13 w/loss vs Valentine. Win moves them to 7.

Doniphan-Trumbull / Wood River - Essentially in the same spot, teetering the line between "win and in" or not.

Few games to consider the next two weeks that can shift a ton of things. Bold is my prediction for winner, purely off film study, not RPI.

Week 8
Hartington CC vs Oakland Craig
Aquinas vs Yutan ("Win and In" for Yutan, which would be the kicker for teams like Wood River / DT that would sneak in at a 15/16)
GICC vs Boone
Wheatland, WY (as mentioned above)

Week 9
DT vs Wood River - With a Yutan win, this becomes a "Win and In" as well.
Valentine vs Kearney Catholic
Norfolk Catholic vs Hartington CC
Wheatland, WY (as mentioned above)

It shows me that OPS doesn’t really care about the Benson’s and the Bryan's, etc. as they let it happen.

so you want OPS board to hand pick who gets to transfer ? This is a result of parents getting what they want and soon school vouchers will be a even bigger mess and the death of high school sports in Nebraska

These are the results of everyone getting what they want, this mind set of I should be able to go to whatever school I want when I want is the one of the major causes of this

Yes, Mackey and Abdul were there and kind of had some things moving in the right direction. A connection to the 7v7 circuit. When they left for Central there were 15-20 players follow them there.

Didn’t they have a significant coaching change that cause alot of players to transfer out last year or 2 years ago?

For fun, I laid the 24-25 boy numbers on top of the 1975 classification system.

Class A. McCook in '75 was smallest at 377. That would put 41 teams in Class A with the 24-25 numbers; everyone Lexington (382) and bigger. That's up 9 teams.

Class B. Adams Central was smallest at 143. That would put 22 teams in there today; Gretna to Aurora. That's down a whopping 42 teams. No surprise, the shrinking of Class B has been well documented. Would the four opt-downs still opt with the biggest of the class up in A? Not sure.

Class C1. Bennington at 83 was the smallest in 1975. That would put 34 teams in C1 today, Douglas Co. West to Conestoga. That's down 30 teams from 1975.

Class C2. That would leave just 25 teams in C2, Kearney Catholic to Summerland, down 39 schools from 1975. Would Wakefield, Johnson Central, Bridgeport, and David City play 11-man against just those 25? If so, there would be 29.

Class D-11. Only 15 11-man teams today are 60 boys and less. Would some 8-man teams play 11-man against those 15? Today, 19 teams have enrollments equal to or bigger than Oakland-Craig (48), the smallest public school playing 11-man. Maybe this could be a 30-34 team class?

Class D-8. That would leave between 87 and 106 8-man teams in one division either between 60 and 16 boys or 47 and 16 boys (if those 48+ teams ere willing to play 11-man against schools no bigger than 60.

I suppose you could still split 8-man with 44-55 teams in each with the split somewhere between 32-36 boys.

The other classes seem kind of fair to me, except A. Probably have to split A1 and A2 at somewhere around Omaha Burke's 590 and Buena Vista's 588 with about 20 teams in each. All LPS except LNW (A2) and Standing Bear (B) would be A1. For OPS, Central, South, North, Westview, and maybe Burke would be A1. Buena Vista, Bryan, Benson, and Northwest would be A2.

All three Millards and both Papios would be A1. Bellevue West would be A1 and Bell East A2. Elk South and Elk North would be A2 and Elkhorn would be B. Gretna East would be A2; Gretna High B.

Grand Island, Fremont, and Kearney would be A1. Most of the rest of the old Big Ten; Norfolk, Columbus, North Platte, Scottsbluff, and Hastings; would be A2. Alliance and McCook would be B unless Alliance still opted down.

SSC, Bennington, Ralston, Pius X, and Lexington would be A2.

A little crazy, yea. Worse than the current system? Not sure, I'd go that far. Especially if you split A and 8-man from the 1975 system.

someone explain that to me How is that even possible that you only get 3% of the boys in that school to play football

I'm curious if things would change much if Bloomfield were to beat Hartington-Newcastle?

Click to expand...

Don't see this as likely, but a few teams Bloomfield plays will gain 3 points (TCNE 291 & Stanton 364).

Hartington-Newcastle would drop to 327.

Bloomfield jumps to 319.

Stanton is still #1 seed in east

TCNE & Wausa would be tied for the 32nd spot.........Wausa gets in on opponent winning percentage.

East
#1 Stanton
#16 Wausa

#8 East Butler
#9 Pender

#4 GACC
#13 McCool Junction

#5 Shelby-Rising City
#12 Thayer Central


#2 Crofton
#15 Wisner-Pilger

This was done quickly, but I think it's correct in this scenario.

Correct me if I am wrong, but with Elkhorn Valley and Boyd County being tied with points, wouldn't Elkhorn have the tie breaker and be number 13 and Boyd County 14?

EV will have tiebreaker on Boyd County with the head-to-head win. That is now corrected.
