The kids and coaches should not be punished for being in a weak district. They are placed there by the UIL and they MUST play the district schedule that's given to them. I've seen some teams in a 6 team district that enter the playoffs at 5-5 because they went 5-0 in their district schedule. Look at OF, BC or K'ville (which ever one does not make the playoffs) and possibly even HF; if they were in the district they were to play in the first round, they would be in but because they are in the setexas superdistrict, they will stay at home...don't fault the team, fault the system...and just for the record, I like the 3 team playoff format because it allows for interesting games at the end of the season.
