That's a very good point, I don't have any idea why they were allowed to opt down. They made the playoffs 4 consecutive years in 9-man.

The reason they are able to opt down is because they haven't made playoffs at the 11B level. I believe this is why Kenmare can't opt down. They made playoffs the previous two years before their short stint in 9man this year.

It's also likely that F-S isn't really contributing much to the new coop...that's part of the reason why H-P wanted out is because it wasn't much of a coop lately; MPCG would be 9-man level without the emergency add of F-S

Total Population - 3,048 (very close in population to Beulah 3,139 or Rugby 2,590)
3,048 is not what you would expect from a 9 man school.
These #'s gathered are from the 2020 census. I know this whole thing goes by student "enrollment," but some basic common sense also needs to go into this. I watched a MPCG game this year and they had a lot of kids on the sidelines.
I have no problem with Mayville being in 9 man, but when you add all of these other schools it starts to look ridiculous. The other towns could make their own 9 man team and call it Trail County.

FS is with HP for football this year...
The Schwab wrote:Yes I'm very aware of the situation between Finley Sharon and Hope Page. I don't have a problem with teams being in 9 man if they have the enrollment that says they should play there. I do have a problem with teams being allowed to opt down in the first year of a plan for "lack of success".

I hope this statement is made in jest. If not, you really have no idea what is going on in rural ND.

I guess Enderlin is playing 11A next year...

Up north, Lakota, Rolla, North Star, New Rockford, Cooperstown, Larimore and Cavalier all going 11A next year. Should be interesting. /s
Does a Dollar Tree and 2 street lights put you in 11AA? :D
Flying Wallenda wrote:Looking at next years numbers (2022), I feel the plan is pretty decent. Certainly one can argue the opt up/opt down situation (4 schools opting down from 11B to 9 man, though I know two - HN/MPCG already played 9 man this year). Surry with 84 kids and Tioga with 80 are the other two opt downs.
Outliers to me looked to be Horace and St. Mary (169 kids and 175 kids) potentially having to play GF Central - 679 kids). 11B looked to be about spot on in my mind (Central Cass the largest with 158 kids, Bowman County as the smallest with 73 kids). In the 9 man, FW's has the largest enrollment with 128 kids (counted as 62 with the multiplier) , Leeds-Minnewakuan the smallest with 38.
