Should be worth 2 points instead 😁

I'd personally keep the all in format, but have a points system for seeding teams or seeding the top half of the teams in either sectional or regional. Preferably by regionals to create the matchups. Still have the 3rd game (1-4A) and (for most) 2nd game (5-6A) as sectional champions.

Never been so devastated as a fan as a kid. That team was by far better than probably any of the teams we've had from 2000 to now. They were up 21-0 at halftime I believe. Just sickening.

Monroe Central is in 43 and would/should be South Adams 2nd rd game

Best was our 2000 championship team (AC) that should have lost in the sectionals to Southern Wells who went on to win the 2001 championship. The game was pretty much over, but SW wanted to rub it in for slaying the proverbial giant and fumbled. AC got into field goal range and hit a game winner to move on their historic run. The 2004 AC Sectional championship team was a longshot. They were once again pitted against SW who had whipped them by around 40 in the regular season and upset them. I always say it was because of the Jeff and Joel magic (former WZBD radio announcers during those late 90s to early 2000s glory days) came back to do that game after not doing it for a couple years.

Looking at Luers sectional, I'm not sure anyone will have the athletes to stop them speed wise. I can see them going to Regional and/or Semi State. They'd most likely have to play Eastbrook for the Regional. Not sure how they'd compare as Eastbrook was the runner-up last year. Then I'd assume the Cass/Pioneer winner will be waiting at Semi State.

I'll try it.

It may be our only chance at making it a game if they play a second time.

I shouldn't complain this year as the draw worked out very nice for my Flying Jets and also because South Adams is in a different sectional. It seemed that the draws the last decade since both schools were in the same class and sectional, had them meeting in the first round if not then the 2nd. It does suck that Busco and Southwood play the first game instead of the 2nd round. Also sucks that Monroe Central should play South Adams in the 2nd round instead of the finals. Hopefully the regional works itself out though and either AC, Southwood, or Busco takes on South Adams (or Monroe Central if they pull off an upset). If we get AC vs SA in round 2, I hope it just monsoons like it did in Woodburn this past Friday. 😄

I've saw one post I like on this discussion and I agree with seeding the tournament by regionals. Only seeding the top 8 was mentioned and then random drawing the rest of the teams. You can award 2 sectional champs after 3 games (ex 1-4A) (2 games for 5/6A) still. You can have the seeded teams host the sectional games and then higher seed hosting in the 2nd/3rd sectional tournament games. Then start neutral field for regional games and semi state games. I'd classify regionals as NW, NE, SW, & SE. I'd rotate which regional champ plays each other each year. So year 1-NW vs SW & NE vs SE, Year 2-NW vs NE & SW vs SE, and Year 3-NW vs SE & NE vs SW. What I like about our current format over Ohio: All in What I dislike compared to Ohio: we don't seed Simplify/compromise: All in with half seeded & half random draw.

Everyone in 1A Northeast region for Southwood, AC, & Busco not to face each other until Rd2 and Sectional finals. Also for Monroe Central to play SA in that sectional final. Then most likely SA playing the survivor of Southwood, AC, & Busco for a shot with LCC (from what I read here). Sectional 43-1. SA & 2 Monroe Central. Sectional 44-1. Southwood, 2. AC, and 3. Busco. Still think this will be SA's year to claim the crown.

Starfires are pulling away in this one. Arnold just too much to handle passing it. 35 to 6 Starfires. 1A NE region has been put on notice that South Adams is the team to beat.

Lightning needs to stay away, but let it rain decently in Monroe tonight!

Gotta love seeing this. These two buddies will be competing against each other in about 13 to 14 years or so.

Well it's game day finally! For those that can't make it, The Berne Witness does a webcast. It will also be on radio for 1380 AM/103.9FM (Ft Wayne area north otherwise 103.9FM is Jay County for the Adams Co & other areas). I'd have to believe 92.7 FM WZBD (Adams County Radio) has the broadcast as well. Good luck to both teams! GO JETS!

Would play in the regional, but had been sectional opponents for the last few years since SA dropped down to 1A. South Adams will have to get by Monroe Central again, while the Jets would have to get by Busco and Southwood. Both Busco and Southwood are tough matchups for the Jets.
