I’ll bite 😂. I just enjoy watching a playoff game when the number 15 team in state gets to play at home. 

Should be the standard.  4th place teams in 6-7 team districts should just be happy to get a shot and another game.  Rental and travel cost reduced for school districts that are limited on funds anyway.

I agree. A district champ should always host the 1st round game.

I’ll tell you this. If I’m a 4th place team and I have an option of that not happening I’m taking it. If it “should” be a rule … that’s another discussion. But to have the option and not use it to me is foolish. Would it have changed outcome. Probably not. But it surely couldn’t hurt to have a neutral site.

A playoff game setting and hype and the fun these kids have playing in gyms and traveling and the whole process is something these kids hold onto and remember. To flip a coin and not give those seniors and players a good opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere and experience is not something I personally wouldn’t do.

It's only 20 miles from Lumberton HS to Hardin-Jefferson HS.

I don't have a problem with a coach doing what he thinks is the best thing for his team to win. Coach Mitchell obviously thought his best chance of winning was being able to play at home so he took the chance.

I have always believed that a district champion should be rewarded with hosting a 1st round game.

I like his thought and balls on the situation. But to have to win 2 coin flips to get it seems pretty unrealistic. Wasn’t it 2 flips?  

Yes. First flip is to get the opportunity to flip for home and home. Win that flip and then the 2nd flip determines which school hosts the game.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
