| Post subject: | High School Football Playoffs |
This has been a source of confusion for me for a number of years. Back in the day when I played High school football you had to win your conference to make the state playoffs...now, it seems that all you need is to have a team. At least four teams from each district make the tourney now and sometimes five. Teams with a .500 record and sometimes a losing record are put in the playoffs. I'm pretty sure there are 3-7 teams in this year. These teams are #5 seeds and play #2 seeds who are usually at least 3 hours away. With an increased emphasis on safety and travel expense why does this continue to happen? It serves no purpose other than to create a little money for the AAA. It puts our kids at risk for more injuries...and also the fans who travel long distances to watch the games. |

7A gets 12 of 16 into playoffs.................it seems like a feel good thing for coaches and players to say they were in the playoffs.......... there is virtually no chance a 5th or 6th seed will win 7A...at least they have the budgets for the travel that really pinches smaller schools..........link to AAA football playoff page...........enjoy untangling the rules........ http://www.ahsaa.org/page/85/football-play-offs-packet?type=sport |

With that many kids on a team, anything can happen. They should probably phase it out for 2A/3A though. |

I think I heard Conway High has 150+ players on the team with nearly 60 seniors. Imagine being a sophomore or even a junior and hearing that news. UGH. Is it time to split into TWO teams? I mean they already have: Sophomore team JV team Varsity team Just so many!

Sounds like a pretty solid program...….Conway is a the 4th largest school at about 2130.....the two Springdale schools are #1 and #2 each over 2400 with the Bulldogs the largest....(and coached by a former UCA star QB.....seems like all UCA QBs have been true stars the past 30 years...) …. http://www.springdalefootball.com/coach-clark.html Cabot is #3 at 2370 and Fayetteville is #5 at 2120......Bryant is #6 and the only other >2000....complete list at... http://members.ahsaa.org/public/userfiles/Admin/2018-2020Classication.pdf Looks Like Bryant opens 2019 season on 8/20 at home vs PA..... |
