It is petty but it's even more petty that youth coaches conduct themselves in that fashion when the rules exists to get more kids involved. If one is coaching 4-8th grade ANYTHING and W/L helps feed your ego, one is in it for the wrong reasons. I doubt you'll see a more elaborate scandal on...

I've coached in the LMAA youth league (think 4th-8th Graders for those unfamiliar). Maxy is right, each youth program runs things a little differently. Some kind of hold onto elementary boundaries as the years pass, others re-work teams via draft every year to balance competitiveness. One...

Park Christian is the private in Moorhead. It's only ~45-50 per class K-12 but when the margins of schools moving classification is so tight, that is material.

Absolute beat-down. LaCrosse knows it and hopefully will take the foot off the gas early to preserve their key players for the playoff push.

Chip does it again...such a talent with these long-form pieces. Fantastic read.

Why we were in Cover 2 at the end when they NEEDED a touchdown is confusing to me.

If a kid returns a punt to the 37-1/2 yard line, there is zero impact on the game for the spotting official to start the 1st and 10 at the 37 or 38 to assist in the flow of the game. It helps officials and is a tactic that has been used for some time. As the ball gets into the red zone, inches...

Current system isn't perfect and it needs some adjustments, but it is better than what was used prior to the early 1980's. We've seen countless Prep Bowl champions who have had 2/3/4 losses in the regular season...these teams would have been left out of any playoff format.

Go to Ohio State for the total experience

Would there be anything more cringe-worthy to an Iowa fan than listening to PJ Fleck accurately explain why the controversy isn't a controversy? :)

At the end of the day, football is not a "skill" sport like many of the others. Take an 8th grader who is an above-average athlete but hasn't participated in the world of travel sports. They can find a home and role on a football team far easier than they can in other sports given they have...

Minnetonka has mostly played the season down their starting QB -AND- starting RB. Those two would have made the season and recent matchup with Eden Prairie more interesting, but EP is still the better roster overall IMO. Milos Spasojevic is the QB and committed to Wisconsin as a preferred...

This is a great summary of what's happening outstate. I grew up in a town that was a Class B fixture at state in the 80s/90s. Considered a "big" Class B school I believe, now scraping by at Class A and roughly 50-60% the enrollment of 30 years ago, while the town itself is down roughly 10-15% in...

Windom is AA I believe, but plays an A schedule

Constraints on Court Space + Officials = Spring Sport

I believe ACL, out for season

I would say deciding it on the field, even in section final, is better than relying on some governing body to rank high school teams from across the state - especially at the smaller classes. The current system isn't perfect but I like that a team could go 4-4 or 5-3 and peak at playoff time to...

Minnetonka was on the cusp of closing 2 of 6 elementary schools not too long ago, before their open enrollment push. Very mature and aging district that made the decision to grow/survive/thrive (depending on a person's POV). I'm sure there are exceptions by school but I believe they are...

Cobber football alum - such a bummer MSUM/Concordia don't play anymore. Was a fantastic rivalry and event for the F-M area

For those with Xfinity TV/Internet, I've periodically looked at dropping TV and going the streaming route but it just doesn't seem like enough savings to be worth it. If you have Xfinity Internet, you are also eligible for Xfinity Mobile (cellular service using Verizon's network, have to be an...
