defensewinsgames wrote:I'm not sure many of the class B schools (the real class b small schools, not the privates and massive Bs, and Fargo/GF suburb schools) have enough capable guys to play halves. Many are playing 5, 6, or 7 guys tops and it gets to be a lot to ask them to play that much time without those quarter breaks. It also almost eliminates the possibility of someone playing the entire game, which actually happens fairly often in those smaller schools with the best players. I prefer quarters because I think it helps with coaching opportunities and offers more chances for adjustments. I agree though that moving to halves drives up scores, increases pace of play, and "has a better flow." I guess it depends on what you like and value. I would prefer to keep quarters.

I see "Fargo/GF suburb schools" constantly talked about on here. Aren't they just "massive B's"? I don't know there is a distinction between "suburb" school as used on here and Big B school. Or is it just a dig on eastern ND?
WFHS to Central Cass HS: 18 miles
Sheyenne HS to Kindred HS: 18 miles
FNHS to Northern Cass: 28 miles
If these are suburbs (assuming meaning being close to a bigger city with more opportunities for lessons, camps, off-season tourneys, club/travel, workout facilities) what about...
Minot HS to Velva HS: 23 miles
Minot HS to Surrey HS: 11 miles
Minot HS to DLS HS: 13 miles
Minot HS to Nedrose HS: 8 miles
Minot HS to South Prairie HS: 13 miles
Century HS to Wilton: 23 miles
Mandan HS to New Salem: 27 miles
DHS to South Heart: 11 miles
DHS to Belfield: 20 miles
Williston HS to Trenton HS: 14 miles
Shouldn't these be suburbs too?

Now compare enrollments.

Enrollment-speaking.

WalkingStick wrote:Suburbs: an outlying district of a city, usually attached to that city, more likely residential.
Bedroom Community: a town or city inhabited largely by people who commute to a nearby city for work.
Bedroom Communities - I think that is moreso what many of these 'B' towns are.
Back to Qtrs or Halves talk...I prefer Halves (18 minutes) with the shot clock. If mercy rule is used that starts at 9 minutes left.
