That is just horse crap right there. Half the teams get to go to the playoffs? They might as well let everyone in. A team may be 2-9 but be a playoff team. That is insane.

I know the FHSAA is not going into this with 2A having only 28 teams and lord knows who else will drop out of 2A. Also, we don't know if any 1A schools are jumping ship. This is a huge cluster crap for FHSAA.

No Madison doesn't belong. School like Trenton, Bronson, or Mayo are filling there teams with 9th - 12th graders to have just decent numbers. Schools like Madison and Ft.White are pulling from JV teams of 9th and 10th graders while their varsity teams are primarily made up of Juniors and Seniors. Most true rural school play in a 7th. 8th & 9th leagues with the best 9th graders playing varsity. Heck I know a few schools in 1A in the past have started 8th and 9th graders on varsity. Now those 8th and 9th graders have to go up against the Madisons, and Ft.Whites of the world.

Exactly TigerFan. It is a different place then the Bells Trentons Dixies Bronson of the world. They ran from 4A plain and simple. I am wanting to see how they schedule this year because if they are still playing the 4A and 5A schools that they played last year and are beating them some what do you think they are going to do to the Bronsons and Bells of the world. I wouldnt care if most 1A schools dropped out and form their own league. It would benefit the smaller rural areas. Madison is not a small rural area like say Trenton is it is worlds apart.

I agree. Why mess up a good thing? My thing is will all of the 1A schools get together and take that stand together?

3 team districts suck! But that is what happen when teams run away from one team.

I would also like to know what's anybody's take on this. Could 1A/2A combine? Or what about the bigger 2A schools combine with 3A and the smaller 2A schools combine with 1A.

Georgia does this as well with the GISA. They also have a new league in Georgia called the GICAA. These are both independent private school leagues that have up to 3 classifications per organization and have state championship for both. I want to say most southern states have leagues like this Alabama, GA, SC, NC and probably others.
