Guest DT Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Roncalli, with the highest PP enrollment in the state at nearly 1200 students, moves up to 6A in my 2.0 Multiplier Proposal The Rebels are sure playing like a high level 6A program on the field, as evidenced by their convincing win over undefeated Mt Vernon.

Here we go.... Roncalli is a great football program. Always has been, always will be. But a high level 6A program? C’mon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably finish the season in the top 5, maybe even Top 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to “compete” against a 6A team on any given night is entirely different than playing 6A competition night in and night out for possibly 15 weeks. There’s a ton of non-6A schools who could “compete” with any given 6A school on any given night, doesn’t mean they should voluntarily or be forced to play 2 classes up. Hell I’d bet Mt. Vernon could “compete” with 75% of 6A on any given night (and beat a lot of them) and I’m sure you wouldn’t devote a thread to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is being forced to do anythimg. Its the Multiplier that moves them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s positive about telling a school of 1200 kids that they have to play in a tournament with schools that have 3000-5000 kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go, leaning on the crutch of enrollment when you feel it's to your argumentative advantage. Again, fair classifications should be about program, not enrollment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I watched this game. Total domination on the LOS by Roncalli. MV was simply overmatched. I had a feeling that this would happen. The Marauders turn the ball over a lot. They have a lot of snap issues. And quite honestly, they hadn't played a really good team all season. Not to defend DT, but you cannot use private school enrollment numbers to compare them to public schools. That's been the issue for a long time.

Again, fair classifications should be about program, not enrollment. It’s the only fair and logical way to classify teams. If your team has enough success in its enrollment-based classification, you move up. It’s not really a hard concept. Most people would agree that there is a six year old or two good enough to compete and occasional beat a 10 year old in a game of basketball. Most people would also agree that 10 year olds playing other 10 year olds, makes a lot more common sense than vice versa. On the rare occasion the 6 year old is good enough, he plays up (success factor). 5 minutes ago, CaptainHook said: I watched this game. Total domination on the LOS by Roncalli.

Hmm, under current open enrollment legislation can't they decide not to allow out-of-district transfers? Sounds like a way to grow or limit enrollment to me. Also a government school corporation could decide to build another high school if current and future enrollment growth supports it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about? MV must accept all students within their district. Doesn't matter if they can play football or not. Privates have no district. They can control the make up of their student population. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With as much negative attention as Roncalli has gotten not just in the local, but national media the last year and a half, they aren’t in any position to turn somebody down. Isn’t MV’s starting QB or WR from Chicago? Who transferred in this year? MV didn’t have the option to decline his enrollment? It’s a two way street.

MICFan34 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Don't lecture about enrollment size or capping numbers, when MV has several transfers (some from HHC schools), playing key positions for the Marauders. Roncalli must not be doing a great job capping enrollment numbers and picking and choosing their students, when they have 1 state championship (2016) in the last 15 years.

Are you telling me P/P’s turn down as many kids as they accept? Hence the reason for a 2.0 multiplier? Roncalli operates under such a different set of rules they only have 1200 kids and not 2400 kids? Genuinely trying to see your point of view. Mount Vernon didn’t lose to Roncalli last night because of who Roncalli accepts and doesn’t accept. I’ll tell you that much right now. Silly to suggest otherwise.
