SO Since we are talking about winning the region in Region 1. This is the champs since 2000.... So the last 21 years 10 different schools have been to state..... Yes it is only 3 schools that get to state every year.
Great point about Richland, very small school and they had a great group of kids come through. After their back to back regional titles what was their record this year? 1 and 16 and their average game score for the year was 39.4 to 70.7.
You prove the point that there are haves and have nots in class B. Kindred won the region this season, they will compete for a title next season. Do you think the year after that they will go 1 and 16 and lose by an average of 31 points per game?
You are correct... they will not go 1 and 16 and they will be in the mix every year towards the top of the region and will not have a 1 and 16 year.. either will Central Cass or Oak Grove... they will always be in the mix. Same thing with Thompson and HCV as well. They have the parents and the culture to produce kids in each grade. The parents and kids all know unless they put in a ton of work they have no chance of playing... and even if they do put in the work... odds of them playing are still not very good.
Richland has size and speed but they don't have the kids that have put in the work like they did in the class of 2019 or 2020
Or you could take off your Kindred blinders and admit that it might have something to do with their enrollment numbers? Just a thought
No blinders here... I agree but enrollment has something to do with it, Money has something to do with it but the parents have way more to do with it than the other two.
By the Way... again I am with you in supporting a 3 class system but you will still have school that go almost every year even if you change the system...
