State Champion vs Class Champions

[slice60]

Maybe we can start a grass-roots movement in all sports-- the school that wins the highest class tournament is the STATE CHAMPION...the school that wins all of the smaller class tournaments are CLASS CHAMPIONS.

No, that is not a good comp. you look at the mid 2000's Cathedral teams, were easily the best teams in the state and they were not in the highest class.

Any school can choose to participate in a higher class in a particular sport for the upcoming 2-year cycle. North Daviess boys basketball chose to play up in 3A for 2 seasons.

if Cathedral wanted to compete with the best to earn the title of STATE CHAMPION, then they should have moved up to the highest class. In football, Cathedral has 14 Class Championships. With the Success Factor, Cathedral has played a number of seasons in 6A but they have never been a state finalist in 6A.
