Upset alert Armwood

What if the game had been played at Crestview?  ...maybe the same result.  But look at the last 3 state semi's Armwood played on the road.

2007 @Booker T Washington 34-14 loss

2009 @Dwyer 41-15 loss

2014 @ Choctawhatchee 19-15 win

I get the whole of idea of teams "earning" home field advantage.  But, I liked the semis swapping venues because it gave some underdogs a better chance.  We are talking young kids, many of whom are not used to traveling and staying focused.    

It's difficult enough to beat an Armwood team, but traveling 6+ hours to do it at Armwood adds to the difficulty in a big way.  We are already seeing certain teams with a disproportionate number of appearances in the state finals.  The shift away from rotating state semi venues could simply make this worse.  What's the lesser evil?  ...teams not "earning" a hosting spot for a state semi or seeing the same team in the state final year after year?
