Interesting fact, there are 17 teams with NSAA enrollments equal to or less than GACC's number of 94,that play 11 man.I don't know the number this year,but last year they had well over 40 players on their roster. It will be interesting to see how their numbers work out for next year.

The kids and coaches don't decide what division or level they play at. that decision is made at the school board and NSAA level. Yes they do have a lot of players on their roster because Dave makes an effort to ket every kid out for the team. i don't see a problem with that.
Coach ridder is a great guy not sure why someone would bash him. Not cool at all imo
I know nothing about him at GACC, so I'm not talking about their situation...I'm talking generally:
In my experience, administrators go to their coaches for input on classification decisions. It might not be the coach's decision, but they certainly do have a voice in the process.
I don't think the NSAA decides to move a team up or down in classification. They take the enrollments that are given to them and then classify the teams accordingly. If a team moves up or decides to opt down without the possibility of play offs they petition the NSAA. If I am wrong please let me know the way it is done.
No you are right. Their enrollment is within limits right now as it dropped. Their is a grace period of around one or 2 seasons to change due to having to adjust field specs and other considerations. Yes a coaches voice is a part of the decision but also enrollment projections as well as fiscal issues are taken into heavier consideration.
My point was it isn't the kids or coaches fault who they play so why bring it up. They won 100 games in his career. I think that is an accomplishment. Obviously others feel otherwise. I can't and don't have any inclination to change their minds.

I do think it is sad that you can't congratulate kids and a coach on here without someone trying to tear them down. extremely sad and unsportsmanlike. But when the boards are anonymous people get computer muscles and are extremely disrespectful! Really it is the sign of a coward!

Known Dave and his family since high school when I played. Great leader and teacher, I wish I could have played for him at WPCC. He's a very competitive coach and wants the best from his players.
I hope they make the move back to 11 man as their enrollment has gone up since 2009. It was getting low 2008-2009, but it has increased with the amount of families from Dodge/Snyder sending their kids to CC which I can't blame them, I bet they wish they had done it sooner.
I feel they would be very competitive in Class C2 and playing old rivals like Wisner, Oakland, Stanton is how it should be. Anyways, congrats Dave! I hope CC wins Class D1 this fall.

I have coached against and experience the " sportsmanship" u talk of. Winning does not equate to sportsmanship and integrity, ask the surrounding coaches.
As far as them going c2 they will get rocked because they are undiscipline on defense. It's hard to out athlete in c2,compared to d1. Anybody that knows how to watch film / defense will agree. Sure it looks good from the sideline, but there's reason why the better discipline teams beat GACC.

I know the surrounding coaches very well. They don't think less of someone because they have won. You come off as very unsportsmanlike trashing an opposing coach on an anonymous message board. Like I said earlier, very cowardly. I would not want someone like you coaching my children. I would want Dave to!!!!
Sasquatch hits nail on head. Easy to bash when people don't know who you are. You know what coach try this, get better then then Dave won't kick your asses all over the gridiron!!!
Yeah because they played "so undisciplined" all those years they were C2 before 2009 when the consistently made deep runs in the playoffs.
Give me a break. Dave is on the of the best in the business and gets the best of out his players. Sorry he beat your teams so bad.
