Yes, the records by themselves are somewhat out of context. Because powerhouses in the small classes can beat the tar out of average to below average large schools. No one ever cries when the public’s beat the privates. The outrage only goes in one direction. i remember a 2nd round loser in rural beat the 2A private school state champ. No one said a word. Countless of examples.    They need to cut the classes to 5, and have an open championship for any team who gets 5-7 NET (agree on a number) of football transfers. Emphasis on net. Because if you lose 10 guys, 5 isn’t really doing as much as if you lost no one.    If you don’t like it, go to the SSAA or independent. Let stop the participation trophies and watered down blowouts 

It's one of the reasons we always make at least one game at Glades Central and at Pahokee. It feels like home. 

In Virginia, and there were a bunch of small towns. The district we played in had 8 teams, and 6 of them won state titles. Some were multiple, and my old school led the way with 8. Friday nights were an event, and usually someone had their own version of the Muck Bowl on any given night. Unfortunately, there's not a lot left back there, but people still turn out in droves to watch the consolidated schools and a few of the old holdovers go at it. 

This is just a tiny sample guys. I’ve kept similar data going back to the early 2000’s.  i have it year by year for roughly 20+ years. It’s always the same. Thousands of games. Whether we have 6 classifications or 8. The bigger schools win 53% and the smaller 47%. Mark Cannon can testify. When I raise this point, it gets swept under the carpet and the next thing you know, we have more classifications. Of course some whiners then start arguing about Private vs Public. Sure, there are powerhouse private schools. But the fact is there are many Private schools that are just not good. Public schools are the same way. Some annual powerhouses but also many that aren’t good either.  In my mind, there should be no more than four classifications and then the SSAA as a fifth option.  The best format we’ve had for balanced competitiveness was a few years ago (Metro/Suburban). I have data that supports this.
