I think its worth a try although I would look at a solid 1 class plan also....I am a firm believer the current system needs help....I think there is to much complacency....and this would spark programs to gear up and get off their dead horse because they could actually see some light at the end of the tunnel....Lets do something different...bring in the shot clock also....and down the road switch to two 18 minute halves for Varsity and 16 for JV.
LETS DO IT!!!!!!

It may initally seem like a Valley City issue, but Central Cass and Kindred is rapidly growing, and could soon be in the same situation (in that area). Of course, there were smaller schools in the state tournaments, but Class B is getting very predictable every year, and the only real surprises come from transfers at the beginning.

The transferring comment is Bogus...this is the USA...you can play wherever you want to...the only reason we are able to watch every student in the state is because its a state of few students....even in Minnesota (let alone Illinois) you would go nuts trying to worry about this kid playing here and that kid playing there.
I agree with the predictable statement but not your reasoning for predictability.....now someone will post there were four upsets at last last year in the regions but predictability still stands because it was a #2 or #3 knocking off #1 still an easy prediction for the 8 teams at state....
this system could actually bring back true surprises come tournament time. Another aspect of this system would be that there is plenty of room for growth to a school or consolidation and if you happen to float close to 400 students your still playing an alike opponent, not like going from today's class b to today's class A....the only gripe I have is Belcourt should be in the new class A...I dont know how many students are over there but they definitely could fit in nicely instead of being with the Big Dogs.

I don't have a problem with transferring, and don't think I stated otherwise. I completely agree that a family has the right to send their kids to any school they feel is best for kids. Also, I didn't say that this plan wasn't good. I actually stated that a change in our current system needs to be considered.

I understand that it may not be fair for a small school like Edgeley to compete with Valley City, but guess what - LIFE ISN"T FAIR! (If life was fair, we would all win the lottery) I disagree with how VC was put into Class B last year but the fact is - they didn't dominate in BB or VB. Us small schools need to put on our big boy/girl underpants and deal with it. Not everyone gets to play in a State Tournament - thats life, so deal with it.
