Coaching inexperience or pride can both be killers at the 1a level when it comes to pulling starters with a big lead. Shutouts and stats are great but a healthy team is more important when depth is a factor. 

NJ-SP will be a force in 1A for the foreseeable future.  Even "coaches" learn things, and see teachable situations as time goes by.  And that's a disparaging remark.  

I have always tried to suggest within a 'blowout' win, to think about the larger situation and perhaps the negative things that could happen within a contest that is well within control to a sideline.  54-0 would have been a moment for that to happen.

Will Judson remain 1A? With 4 straight SS runs and a State Finals appearance, how does the success factor impact them? Still not sure how that works….are there dedicated cycles or can teams move up/down each year??

NJSP will stay 1A

You could appear in the Semi-State every single year of your existence, and you'd remain in your class.  Semi-State runs don't earn enough points to move up.

Need 6 points to move up in a 2-year period.  I believe I heard success factor is a rolling 2 year period now.

1 Point - Sectional Win

2 Points - Regional Win

3 Points - Semi-State Win

4 Points - State Win

2023 won a regional, 2024 won a semi-state.  2+3 is 5, they will be 1A next season. 

If they WIN State in 2025, they would go to 2A the following season. 2024 Regional(2) + 2025 State(4) = 6

Judson lost at state, all they have to do is appear at state again in 2025, and they will move up.

Yep, you're right.  I accidentally looked at the 2023 regional as I wrote the 2024 part.  They just need to win Semi-State in 2025 🙂 I fixed it below
