Well... they would need to win another semistate. Then you will be down to 6 3A teams in SW Indiana.

Will even more interesting next cycle when GS moves to 4A....who will they pull in then?

Been here a long time....this thread is top 10 for one of the dumbest conversations ever.

GS will likely be 4A next cycle.

It was fantastic actually playing schools with the same advantages and disadvantages on our run. I'm not sure the right word for adding P/Ps to the sectional is "competitive". 🙂 David vs Goliath is better more toward the end of the road.

We don't need it...we are a public.

We got plenty of gate from the Vincennes sectional championship. I agree with Jets...I'd rather see a couple of the four schools you mentioned in a Semi-State. In terms of the HH game...the atmosphere could have been even better had there actually had been visitor seating...to many standing etc. Many fans forced to sit on the home side that normally wouldn't have.....kinda feels shady to me. I understand work was underway.....but common man!

Coaches will support this small change.

We'll now we are back to the point that if we could just put the top 2 teams in each sectional on the opposite sides of the bracket.....isn't this a very small change that everyone could live with? Keeps "All In"....doesn't add qualification...yet stops a huge chunk of the "travesties" we see posted on social media after the drawing every year.

You'll have to explain this one to me.

Am I missing something, why are these two the same? 3A: 64 Teams. Largest School = Eastern Hancock 377, Smallest School = Indianapolis Lutheran 267 (success factored up), Enrollment % Difference = 1.38% 2A: 32 Teams. Largest School = Eastern Hancock 377, Smallest School = Indianapolis Lutheran 267 (success factored up), Enrollment % Difference = 1.41%

We used turbostats last year. Here is an example game: https://www.turbostats.team/football/gibsonsoutherntitanfootball/gibson southern titans football_game12_box.html

Gibson Southern will host Mount Carmel IL the IL 2023 3A state runner up Aces August 30th. Gibson Southern will host South Warren KY the KY 5A power house Spartans on September 13th.

Left the 4A and 5A KY state champs for us....I see how you are. LOL I bet at some point South Spencer makes the decision easy for you guys like Tell City did.

The game this season wouldn't have been close, Tell City knows this.

I support qualification now....but you should only need to win a couple of games to get in. That slims down the field just enough to slot teams in more like for like "classes". Not because it makes the regular season more meaningful, because it doesn't and it won't. See @oldtimeqb's post earlier in this thread.

Well said....I was actually working LOL (hard to believe I know) and didn't want to think it through but this is close to what I was conceptualizing. Thanks!

I think there are brackets to make it work with byes.

Dumb idea to leave Lucas Oil. Great Idea to go to 10 games by eliminating the worthless scrimmage game. How about 40 team classes? 8 championship games....4 each day?

Perhaps with Tell City dropping HH they will fill that game with an opponent who actually has the capability of beating them.

I just puked in my mouth a little bit. I Like the name "30" better. "32" is already taken LOL.

GS will find itself there next cycle more than likely.

Bosse must be thrilled!

You beat me to it!!! At least one of you gets it!
