Can someone please mansplain this to me? U-High has a thorough application process and is competitive (to very competitive) for admission. It's not like admins would just have no idea these kids are good at football. A kid doesn't just "transfer" there.

K-8 at UHigh has 100-105 kids per grade level. I was told that in high school, the number increases to 115-120 per grade. I’m not sure if that part is accurate. But the first part definitely is. I also know that last years 8th grade class lost 22-26 kids to Catholic, SJA, Dunham, BRHigh. So while UHigh admission is very selective in the beginning in elementary school, by the time 7th, 8th and 9th grade years roll around, there are a lot of spots to fill and the application/admission process at this point is not as selective as the process was in kindergarten.

The irony of how I attended mandatory meeting with Martin as the speaker. That guy spent most of the time talking about playing within the rules and how important it is for kids to follow the rules and accept the punishments regardless of talent and ability. how teaching players that being part of the team is more important than the victories. Typical stuff but add that to his other main point regarding sportsmanship and humility and it’s been hilarious watching him fail on all his major points to building success. He just seems like a phony at this point..

More often than not situations like this involve parents doing the wrong not the coach or admin

Top 8 teams have a Bye
Only 24 teams make Playoffs
#24 vs #9 in 1st Round

What can a coach do about a fake address - I know one coach in NO that actually went to check and 3 weeks later kid moved. It’s happened for years

It will certainly get fast tracked given that playoff brackets get set Sunday IIRC.

Those schools right ahead of them at 24-25-26 all will collect points cause they play in a 8 team district, they gauranteed a certain amount.

Why does the district size matter? Did the formula change ? Power points are all off wins and losses and your opponents wins and losses. The numbers constantly change. That being said, I am not running any simulations and Uhigh could very well be out no matter what.

What I was saying was, those teams are in a huge district and dont play hardly any non district opponets, that way they are automatically collecting points from there distirct wins over each other. Uhigh I gave every team on its schedule in the non district a win(even though i dont think that happens) and then gave them the most possible from its gauranteed district wins, that puts them at around 7.6-7.7. The ones above them, I just gave them the least amount of points do to there non district not winning and just get the gauranteed districts wins and UHigh is short by a win. Therefore, they hold off the cubs for the 24th spot.
