Rebel Bert Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The committee has the latest and greatest numbers. I am assuming from January or first week of February as I was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastfootballfanman Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Well I have remained silent because at this point, I do not know what to trust, or who to believe. However, I was told by someone connected to executive committee that vote is happening in April to start reclass for 2022 season and move to 7 classifications starting this 2022 season. Was also told it is 90% positive to pass with most everyone on board. Again, at this point, I do not know what to think or believe to be true. So I plan to just wait a few more weeks and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Kat French at Biloxi has 5 non-region games tentatively ready to be scheduled right now if they announced it today. Scheduling games would be the least logistical issue of this whole thing. I promise 90% of the coaches in this state right now have multiple games already in the works to happen if it passes.

s1nglewing Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Scheduling games is not hard to do unless picking up a phone and dialing it or sending an email is too burdensome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking up the phone to schedule a game isnt all that simple. Lets say Picayune needs a non region game. They are going to be loaded next season. Picayune coach contacts ABC High School asks would he like to play them. ABC coach says no because he doesnt want to get a beatdown put on him. Then you have to make another phone call to try and find a game. Lets be honest, for teams who are very good, non region games can be hard to schedule.

s1nglewing Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I enjoyed scheduling a lot. Did for all the teams. It isn't hard. Now some folks are lazy and it's a task for them. But if you're good you usually don't want to schedule a non-competitive game so those kinds of conversations that you propose actually rarely occur.

That is my point. It is only difficult if you are lazy. Good teams will not have a problem filling their schedule. It is not rocket science. Yeah sure, a 2-8 Hancock probably would not schedule Picayune, but Gulfport, d'Iberville, Poplarville, etc. will. Filling the schedules I promise will be the least difficult part of doing reclassification now. My brother was an AD in Louisiana for almost 20 years. He said scheduling for any sport was not difficult at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In October the numbers will be turned in, schools will be placed in classifications and regions, and it will be released around the State Championships like always. Play will begin in fall of 23.

For that matter.. schools have been scrambling at the last minute to schedule games the last two years because of Covid. 4 months is nothing.

Rebel Bert Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Travel is an issue for non region games as well. Some coaches prefer to play their buddies they went to college with or coached under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The call can be made messages over the intercom, etc etc. Whether you want to call back or schedule that opponent remains to be seen. The biggest problem maybe the date, location, etc. Whose hosting first, August or September trying to avoid 3 straight road games of course.

RUNNINGMAN67 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) I don't think it's very difficult for teams like Long Beach to schedule games. I think it's more difficult for good teams like Picayune, Oak Grove, JDC, West Jones, Taylorsville and so on because not many coaches willing to voluntarily go take a whoopin.

Rebel Bert Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Alabama does allow for numbers in each region. In Mississippi that would be as example: 7A Region 1. 7 Region 2. 5 Region 3. 5 Region 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was MPHS soccer HC I received calls as soon as season was over for the next season and we had a schedule in place fairly quickly - it's not that difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have won 3 State Championships in 5 years and made 4 appearances in that time. I think if I'm a 1A-3A team, I might look elsewhere before picking up a game with them.

I expect to see them back on top quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Raleigh's numbers continue to go down they are probably looking at Consolidating at some point. 5A I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
