Ok… now that we are into the one classification for 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A, it seems a lot more exciting with all the great matchups in the 3rd round going forward. I like the one classification myself. If you win the state, and get through all these opponents, then you are truly a state champion! What are your thoughts now that we are this deep into the playoffs?

In 1A and 4A the difference from the small schools to the larger schools is to great
1A for example Andrews 200 students
Eastern Randolph 670 students that is ridiculous

I do like the1 classification better but do feel like we need up to 5A classes. JMO. Also I like it when we can see for example like a Shelby vs Reidsville matchup. Yes more exciting to see better matchups than the 2 classifications.

I suggest 6 classes -- which is a compromise between 4 and 8.
A lot more schools now than there were when state last had 4 classes in 2001. New schools going up every year, especially if you want to include the charters and such.
