    Football Class A: Lincoln North Star 93 Omaha Benson 0

    The NSAA did a good job reworking lots of schools schedules, especially in Class A during the last cycle. However, when you play a 9 game schedule they just can't hide you every week. Still about 10-12 teams at the bottom of Class A who have no business of ever being on he field with the top...

    Football NORFOLK CATHOLIC

    Same argument every year because nothing ever changes. It is what it is. I for one won’t attack sucessfull programs. Some jobs are better than others. It comes down to Or at least starts with what a community/school district wants to put emphasis on and support.

    Football Aurora to Class C1

    Completely agree. If only 22 teams fall within the number set fine but the 1st Round of the playoff in B will be a joke.

    Football Aurora to Class C1

    Agree. Class B with only 22 teams... the changes made by the NSAA are not making things better for the next cycle.

    Schools moving to 8 man or moving up to 11 man (List)

    I agree. A big problem is the bottom of C1 and bottom of B. I think adding teams to Class A and B would actually solve some problems. 32 in each. I also like the idea of struggling Class A programs looking at coop. Different way to look at coops for sure.

    Schools moving to 8 man or moving up to 11 man (List)

    The gaps from top to bottom of A-C1 are probably unfixable. The gaps are HUGE. Can’t punish successful programs because others can’t keep up however. Best fix would be to classify by roster size but I understand that’s probably impossible even though that’s the real issue. Schools playing...

    Head Coaching Changes for 2017-18

    Anybody know any additional information about Ogallala job? They have had consistent success there. It's a really good C-1 job in my opinion.

    Cutting in the Shotgun

    I have always thought that cut blocking should be allowed FOR player safety. I don't understand why a 150 pound RB has to try to take a blitzing LB up high. That promotes head injuries IMO which is the heaviest emphasis right now in football. Every other level of football allows cut blocking...

    2016-17 Classifications Released

    Its not the enrollment gaps at schools that are the problem. Its the culture and importance the community puts on football. I just wish there way to base classifications on total football participants or at least boys at the school but it just doesn't work that way. NC may be at the bottom of...

    Parochial Schools

    Not punished, just level the playing field. That's all I am saying. Its not easy getting kids to play football at a school that isn't traditionally strong. This isn't a whine session. I see both sides of the fence. Those who can't see it both ways here are clueless. I want the classes to...

    Parochial Schools

    I would like to see a system based upon a number of player participants versus size of school. Declare your participant number for 2 year cycle and then classify and make schedules. That's the problem more than the public/private thing. Private schools most generally have the larger roster...

    Parochial Schools

    I can agree with the Buff-alo post. I am definitely not for a participation model. I do see both sides of the argument on this however. Teaching kids to lose is a huge part of having sports in schools. Maybe these handful of private schools that win every year do really do it better than...

    Parochial Schools

    There needs to be a multiplier since having the private schools form their own playoffs isn't an option because of the geography of the schools. A way higher % of private schools student body participates in sports, this is where the true advantage takes place. Schools like NC and Aquinas...

    A and B

    I do think there is something to what your saying. I say play 10 games in classes A-C2 and take 8 teams to the playoffs. Get rid of districts and take the top 8 in points. If you make the playoffs you should be a threat to win it all or at least play a spoiler role. I think the majority of...
