Looking around the area, I see Bradenton Southeast finished 8-2 but didn't make the playoffs.  I see River Ridge finished 7-3 and didn't make the playoffs.  Neither are in the FIT either.  Me personally,  I'd rather see a bowl game with a match-up between 2 teams like this than some tournament that puts a 1 win team in.   Also why I'd rather have a 12 game regular season with fewer teams making the playoffs, but with bowl games for everyone else. Like college football does.

They did with metro suburban and you bitched and moaned about it because you think that only private schools recruit 

Well, now we know what happens when you piss them off enough. TFA poked the bear one to many times. Or maybe the cub....can't give fhsaa too much credit

They don't get much love and don't deserve much, but I got to give FHSAA credit for standing their ground against this form of intimidation to chalk a win up for the good guys.  I wasn't confident they had it in them.
