That winter we were hit in the central part of the state with 24-27" in early march. I know because my parents just closed on a small lake cabin last week of February and we had 2 Morton buildings collapse under the wet spring snow. Bad timing for a family that just took on an extra payment. My...

Sorry about the technicality... Why do you care so much? Some teams get to play inside, some don't... US Bank isn't opening its doors for such a small event as a section championship... 20 years ago the field conditions weren't the same as they are now. I assume that Moorhead and other schools...

NDSU has been great to MN high schools. Several coaching clinics hosted there yearly. I am sure that they love having the building used... Not to mention its a great experience for the kids. Been apart of several team goal setting meetings and every year the most said goal for players is to...

This is a great example of why we should have state wide playoff system similar to that of Class 6A A regional representative at the state tournament is not truly getting the best teams in a place to showcase that MN football is better than what the country feels it is. Of course you would...

Hard to count some of these 3 over 2 games as a true upsets or use them in a case study to show why we need all teams in the playoffs because there we "x" number of upsets All class 1A #3 over #2 games were a coin flip earlier in the year Class A Section 1 #3 Fillmore Central (7-1)------46 #2...

IMHO its hard to get a good feel for who should be seeded where when a team plays 0 section games... Not sure how MSHL lets this happen in the lower classes so often. Not to mention in class A There should have been WAY more 7 team sections and 0, 6 team sections... Major advantage not...

You do have to win the game. Its easier to win home game for a home team who is 5-3 who is taking on a team who is 6-2 that has to get on a school buss at 10:30 and ride 2 hours to play a road playoff game

Depends on how you set that up. If you take the top half of teams in Record only. Then use the Qrf and other tie breakers as the way to qualify i dont see many cpmplaints. Now if you were to just take top 2 from each section is where things get crazy... No sections and seed top 32 teams from...

I understand what MN scores says it is. There is something to be desired in the formula when playing teams in different classes. It also gets strange when you have a situation where 3 teams all play each other and have all three teams go 1-1 vs the other 2 teams. The tie breaker margin is...

Most sections are seeded for MN playoffs by QRF, a computer algorithm that nobody knows how it works.

Most sections in MN seed by computer program as well... a 9 man team that bumped up to section 6 in class 1A was the 6 seed in a 8 seed section because of some arbitrary reasoning as well

Safety is at the front of every good Coaching staffs mind at all times... In a game like that the JV of the winning team sometimes is better than the loosing teams varsity players... And maybe they weren't getting pummeled, but their defense was broken... I called several plays last Wednesday...

From a coach. Unless my Seniors are asking to quit, I am allowing them to play every play they want to on their last game they will ever put pads on. We owe it to the kids to allow them to go out on their own, not make the choice for them. Regardless of what it may look like

It comes from the place of Why are we having kids not count in the enrolment numbers? It comes from 1A schools getting smashed on a weekly basis by teams the state is forcing them to play that are MUCH bigger than them. Nobody cares how the 1A schools feel that get to play most of their games...

Exactly my point... How can a kid walk through the doors of the school. Attend class. School district receive funding for that student. Student does not count towards enrollment for sports. Classification is done by enrollment numbers. How can the enrolment be decided by who's family pays...

Yup settle it on the field where 2A Staples-Motley who has a 3A enrolment goes up to Pine river to play a bad 1A school during the regular season. People give a shit because we have a system that puts teams in classes, then schedules Very good higher classification teams against very bad teams...

There are conferences, They have cool names like Mid Northwest - White and Mid Northwest Central and no kid in those conferences knows they are apart of that conference... Because the district schedules have taken every team and they just throw darts at the wall and move teams into and out of...

Most? MN is the only state in the upper Midwest that all do... Find it hard to believe MOST states do with MN being the only one out of ND, SD, WI, IA, NE and MN IN- yes IL - no OH - no MI - no MO - Looks like it SO 3 out of the entire Midwest... OR- no MD - yes VT-no SC- no TX- no OK-no...

Windom is the exception to the schools listed, also not part of the teams who should be in class 3A. Participation numbers from my experience is a school culture issue. Which falls on the town and the coaching staff. Are there cases where schools a class lower much better than schools a class...
