with the HS FB season coming up, thought I would get a thread going.
Conditioning Practice begins August 14th - but (I assume) teams with Zero-week games start a week earlier. I'm aware of Zero Week games being played on Thurs, Aug 24 and Fri, Aug 25 in SW MN.
and now for this: MSHSL Board of Directors met Aug 1 and some football-related items were considered.
District Football Policy
The Board of Directors approved the District Football Policy, which includes updating reference language of 9-Man to 9-Player and the number and naming of districts and sub-districts.
State Tournament Seeding
During the Executive Committee report, the Board of Directors approved the creation of a sub-committee consisting of 6-10 individuals to work with League Staff in exploring a seeding process for bracketed team state tournaments.
Football State Tournament, Semifinal Seeding
League Staff shared information on a coaches association recommendation to seed the football semifinals Nos. 1-4 in all football classes except Class AAAAAA.
---it isn't 100% clear from the summary of the meeting, but I assume the Football seeding recommendation is included in the State Tournament Seeding discussion, because FB is a "bracketed team state tournament."
---I am not calling 9-man "9-player" - ain't gonna do it.
--good luck and good health to all HS FB teams this Fall.
