    In total, is high school coaching getting better or worse?

    I would say it is some of both better and worse. But what is the definition of "better"? Wins? Consistency? Preparing young men to succeed in life? Long tenure? I think you have fewer guys who want to put up with the politics, parents, transfers, demands on family time, etc. so you naturally...

    Lets talk PORTAL

    It has ruined college football. I understand not every young person's decision about where to go initially is correct so everyone should get one opportunity to transfer. Otherwise, that is life-decisions have consequences. I am old school so I think you attend college to get an education first...

    2025 Playoff Pick'em - Championships

    I use some basic statistics such as points for/against, results against common opponents (if any), historical program strength, rankings on Massey, and my gut feeling if the numbers seem too far off. Yes, it is very unscientific. Given what little I know about teams in the lower classifications...

    Can someone please explain why…

    You might also add that playing down a level or two - which was done to be "fair" if teams played in mixed classification districts and had to play lower classification teams - gives bonus points that skew a team's power point average and make it much easier for a team with a schedule against...

    2025 Playoff Pick'em - State Semifinals

    For my contest, I had Salem as a double digit favorite and they were beaten 28-7 by Green Run in the 1st round. Last year, Patriot over Battlefield and LC Bird over Matoaca in the second round. So it does happen in this contest. I admit some of my spreads can be off due to my lack of knowledge...

    Can someone please explain why…

    I have been told that since the VHSL abandoned tracking power points that (Class 6 anyway) went to pre-determined matchups and this year it is A@D and C@B. I am positive Smith will travel to Madison. For what it is worth, even the VHSL's "official" MaxPreps brackets say that the Class 6...
