GBC gives Midkota opportunities to play, and they get moved to AA because of it. But Grafton can give opportunities and keep playing B with no penalty.
I like Grafton's football team, but I'm tired of an NDHSAA that allows this stuff to go on. 325 means 325, unless maybe it's this sport or that sport, or unless it's this school or that school, or unless someone somewhere doesn't get to play.
It's enough to make me sick.
* Grafton coops with St. Thomas in football as well as girls and boys basketball. Their combined enrollment is well under 325.
* Grafton's coop(s) in hockey doesn't matter as Grafton will always play against the larger schools.
* Grafton's coop in girls softball would place the school above the 325 mark, but to state Grafton has to move up a level in all other sports because of girls softball is ridiculous as there are all sorts of crazy coops in softball.
* Grafton's coop in wrestling would also put it above the 325 mark.
I guess Grafton could say to these schools, if you want to join for one sport, you have to join in all sports. Could you imagine Grafton with Park River, St. Thomas, Drayton, Minto, Valley-Edinburg, Midway, Cavalier, and Langdon in all sports? You and several others would really be feeling sick then.
