Could this come to Kansas, in some form?

Some comments from below the video:

Each year, Maryland tries to schedule opponents that match up well on paper. It does require some travel, but achieves better results.

If you are a team that routinely score 50+ points a game you need tougher competition.

Part of it is resources. 100%, but 20 years ago the conversation was, as the game grows, as more high schools build their programs, how will the incline in teachers becoming coaches be a problem. In other words let’s see how far school districts go to find a coach that can keep up with the rich schools. We knew this day would come where big schools with big miente were going to pull away, but America never figured out a way to improve coaching. Hiring a teacher is the laziest option and I see teams running schemes that you can tell they don’t understand. Some coaches play chess other coaches use Lamar Jackson and madden and think that madden playbook will work Friday nights. Most high school seniors in America are better offensive coordinators than their own HCs

This trickles down to the high school level also. It is a new world in athletics, compared to the old way of how things used to be.

Football is about finding the weakness of the opponent and then attacking at that point, but this video of this particular player mistreating  the opponent is disgusting.

My preseason rankings are nothing more than a target to shoot at, for the rest of the teams in each classification.

I also like to call them WAG’s. In other words, a Wild Ass Guess or we could say SWAG’s, Scientific Wild Ass Guess, because I did a little studing, before putting up the rankings.

There are a few teams ranked, in the number one slot, who are a no brainer to most likely repeat as champions, Andale, SE of Saline, Axtell, Weskan. Although they must stay healthy and you must win on the field of play, not on some computer, by a guy taking SWAG’s at who will win, in the end.

After that, it looks like Derby, Aquinas (how can I not pick Mill Valley and I came so close do doing that), Bishop Miege, Conway Springs and South Central are the favorites in their respective classes.

Every year there is that team, in some classification, that just surprises everyone and is not ranked all season long and they get in the playoffs and they just keep winning. And sometimes, win the state championship or finish in second place. That underdog is who everyone falls in love with and pulls for in the playoffs, to bring home the big upset win!

That football we play with, is not round, and doesn’t ever bounce on the ground the way you think it might, which leads to upsets!

Know that I am cheering for the upset win, except for my team, which I hope wins every game.
