Some of you guys with your ridiculous scenarios for punishing competitive schools are insane. Since you are obviously talking about ECA and Curtis, you want to fix the solution? Let each sport determine what division to play starting from their enrollment based division. Curtis and Evangel will voluntarily move themselves up, especially Curtis knowing they won't sacrifice the other sports.

If the scenario of the guy who based the stats on how many kids participate, all of a sudden schools who don't cut will cut the fat left and right and how will that be good for sports in the state?

Sounds like Curtis wants to have their cake and eat it too.

Why doesn't Curtis put more emphasis on the other sports if they are so far behind? Perhaps the year-around football preparation harms the other sports.

John Curtis has 2A enrollment. They belong in 2A. If there was a rule allowing teams to play up, then they should play up in all sports.

Yes, I guess so. It does seem to me that the JC and the ECA type schools have far more players than most, so I was looking at it that way. I doubt they would cut, since the success they have often is largely due to depth and specialization. Don't see too many 2 way players.

It just chaps my hide to see all selects lumped in with those two. Where I am, we can only dream of having the athletes a Winnfield has. We likely will start next season with 2 LBS under 5'8" and 160 lbs, a RB at about 5'6" and 135, and our QB also starting at LB.

Curtis, we ain't. But I'm sure we will win our share, as we always seem to. We can't get athletes in here, despite the supposed advantage of having a large geographical area to pull from. Many can't pay, many can't make the grades, many can't stay out of trouble. We figured out that we have to do something different to win. Preparation, film, conditioning,that's all we have.

So, I'm pissed that we are automatically considered 'cheaters', and I'm sure we are not the exception to the rule.
