    State Basketball question

    This can be said for pretty much everything associated with the NSAA. The function of the NSAA is widely misunderstood. The NSAA does not act in a free will capacity. They are like a Law Enforcement Agency. They make none of the rules, they simply enforce/carry them out. Good post.

    Stanton Boys Bball = Best in the State! (by transitive property)

    I'm taking the Mustangs in the Head to Head over Southwest.

    Clarkson/Leigh No More?

    Excellent post as was Goskers3's post. Honestly this all boils down to youth sports and the quality of the youth coaches. It isn't about having a rule that all of the youth participants must play at least 25% of the snaps or anything like that. It is about the youth coaches understanding...

    Clarkson/Leigh No More?

    You make good points. Unfortunately this is no longer the world we live in. The bench players no longer receive any recognition. We celebrate the top end of the athletes and the bench players get nothing but their asses kicked around in practice and the less skilled ones even get passed over on...

    Clarkson/Leigh No More?

    This was a Sports Co-Op, not a school consolidation. The State has no say and there are no Property Tax implications with a Sports Co-Op. I agree that property tax relief would be helpful. It just doesn't apply here.

    Clarkson/Leigh No More?

    I do not have any inside knowledge of the Clarkson/Leigh situation. I have not spoken to anyone that does have inside knowledge of the situation. I have not spoken with any community members from either Clarkson or Leigh. I want this to be clear. Whatever the reason this has happened, the...

    Legion Area Tournament Brackets - B & C Juniors (Final Results)

    I can reason through it and say it is DCB wanting to move. The District Tournaments are set and sent out. The only way it changes is if someone would ask for a change. Otherwise, they simply go with what they drafted initially. 2 years in a row DCB was scratched from my District. I don't want...

    Legion Area Tournament Brackets - B & C Juniors (Final Results)

    DCB seems to be willing to travel for an easier bracket. They were supposed to be in my District 2 years in a row and opted to go West both years. I don't really have an issue with it. It certainly improves the field for the State Tournament and that is a good thing.

    8-Man Football Changes Coming

    That would be great! Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it.

    8-Man Football Changes Coming

    That is the age-old argument. Sometimes, no matter how hard they try, the kids just don't want to participate. We are of course talking about Class D, the smallest classes. The easiest way to illustrate this is the Grand Island HS Girls basketball not having enough kids to field a team...

    8-Man Football Changes Coming

    I understand your point you are making. Unfortunately the opt down is a remedy for participation problems, not enrollment problems.

    8-Man Football Changes Coming

    Ultimately it is the decision on the University to not allow another day or game. As you are saying, they clearly communicated that. All of my thought and points are pretty much wasted. The decision has been made.

    Ya, you may be right.

    Mandatory Stat/Score reporting

    I have no idea why the NSAA would care about stats. I have never been a fan of publicizing individual stats of a team sport. I feel that nothing good can come of it. My player that averages 19.5 points per game starts getting an unfair amount of public recognition because my best player is...

    Boys State Basketball State Tournament Field

    Great Response. Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question. Why does it seem to work in lower classes but doesn't work in Class A? The only real difference is that Class A doesn't use the Sub District/District format.
