Creek - Good to hear your not Dem. I will certainly take your word for it on BL. I think any small towns that have a major ones around it will benefit from bleedover. But some towns are doomed because of the opposite. I think you proposal has merit. It's extremely hard to put a entire school in a classification based on success. Just because some programs are good at a school and some are barely making it. Unfortunately the SCHSL is much like the Government which translates to no real progress and a general disdain for ideas that aren't there's. Truthfully, the only fair way is simple math, add all the schools up and divide by X. But there is always going to be something unfair.

Thats my biggest concern too, Mr. Football.

I do think we can implement this system or something similar, but is this something the SCHSL would be willing to entertain? I do agree with your assesment of that. Will just have to hope they come up with something that can keep it fair for everyone.

Who do you guys have tomorrow?
