We saved a few miles of travel, we got a taste of small town ND life, and we got to play against some talented 17 and 18 year olds for the first time. I thought it was a great way of preparing us for class A legion ball.
I guess I can understand people wanting the junior teams out because they are not 'true' class B teams. I just didn't think there was a problem with these junior teams. They were competitive (which is what you want), but they weren't dominant.
But what's the deal with the 7 team state tournament? Does the host team get in to make it 8, or are they going to play with 7?
I would guess they will still play virtually the same schedule as before only they will now be non league games and they will no longer be in the Class B section tournaments. I think tournament play is going to be the only real change that takes place.
