Needing an even number in the Metro District, Brainerd not ready for traveling every other week, and 6A hoping for a more Section common opponents. Makes sense. It will be interesting if Mayo becomes number 32 in 6A. Totino goes to 5A potentially because they can? Coon Rapids needs to be in the Metro District. They’ve had their chance.
Brainerd already travels just as far in their 4 roads games as they would if they just played northern suburb schools
They do but not but against schools they play in all sports. Playing schools and communities you typically play is a big part of HS football, right?
Yes, I think it's petty too. Lots of people in Rosemount with deep roots there and a lot of pride. However, I won't say that Rosemount High School is home to the super-wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. It's no Eden Prairie or Wayzata for sure. Apple Valley and Eagan can't be much different than Rosemount in per capita income, so your 30% number is probably no different than want you would find at RHS. (Also, I've lived in the Eastview and Rosemount school districts for almost 25 years. There is little to no difference between the two.)
They already ended that for all of the suburbs with maroon gold?
Totino based on enrollment should be 4A I think. Same with Cretin.
Not having one natural rival is very different than FL’s schedule
??? I thought Eastview was upper mid class like Lakeville? You make it sound like Burnsville. I clearly don't know Apple Valley like I thought I did!
Have you ever considered "running" (have no idea how it works) to be on the MSHSL board?
I used to be involved more than I am now. I now work more adjacent to public education than in it
Some free lunch rates to compare:
It should be, but district scheduling has more or less killed that. Wayzata didn't play Minnetonka or Edina or Hopkins in football this year.
Any idea how they choose the neutral sites for the quarterfinals?
School put in to host and have to meet requirements for capacity and have turf. They also have to make sure that host school isn’t playing on the same day for staffing purposes. Many of the sites host year after year with some changes.
All numbers are super wonky right now.
But they did get to play Farmington and Roseville!
Those numbers don't tell you much. The per capita income in Rosemount is about $44,000. In Apple Valley, it's $42,0000. There's no significant difference in the economic demographics between Eastview and Rosemount. My only point was the Rosemount football coach had to start from scratch when he took over in the late 90s and has built one of the better programs in the state. I would say the vast majority of Rosemount residents have no ill will toward Eastview and could care less about what happened 25 years ago with the two school districts. Rosemount has changed a lot in those years growing from a small town of less than 10,000 to a suburban city of over 25,000. For better or worse, there are people who want to hold on to the city's small town past which is slowly disappearing.
Thanks for the history lesson
Really surprised by two rivers. This is what happens when you have empty sections.
They really need to cross over sections at the lower classes like 6A. Stacked sections should have a better chance to get teams to the "Dome"
Maybe go to 30 teams. Drop Brainerd and Totino down and keep Coon Rapids at 6A. That would follow the current cut off and take away all the maneuvering.
Apartment complexes exist all over the metro
More than you wanted to know I'm sure.
Why would coon rapids be the one dropped they aren’t even close to the bottom of enrollment?
Coon Rapids would be 6A and Brainerd and Totino go to 5A. That would leave 30 teams in 6A and end the issue will playing out of class during the season. Now if Totino goes on to win 5A, the complainers will be back.
The whole point of 6a was to put the top 32 teams in one league.
