WOS turned in 635 last alignment. If this was the same as last year WOS would have to lose 90 kids and I do not believe they will lose that many numbers this alignment or next alignment either. Last alignment was 545-879. I think it goes by average attendance for high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleeagle Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Each alignment the bottom alignment numbers usually go up by 20 to 35 which if this happens then Newton could possibly go down to 2A1 unless they opp up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, let's say you're LCM and you're going to go down to the district with Silsbee, HF, WOS and Jasper... OR you could opt up and play against Lumberton, Huffman, Splendora, Livingston...

It can be a real problem in sparsely populated areas for in school week travel. All sports and Jr High even has to be considered for smaller classification scholls.

Kicks off we would probably gain more students. If we go 2A I think it would be hard to get good 3A and 4A teams to schedule us. WOS has already told us they will not schedule us next year.

My opinion: Playing "bigger" schools in the preseason doesn't really prepare you for anything.. if you play every district game after and even the first couple/few playoff games as a blowout win. What was accomplished? After winning 8 games in a row by 60 points I mean.. The preseason "preparation" is wiped away at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no chose to who we play in district. Barbay said he did not want to schedule a team unless he thought they had a chance to beat us. He said playing a real bad team serves only to get one of your kids hurt. That is why we have played Silsbee, Gilmer, WOS, Carthage, Jasper, etc.. It prepares us for the playoffs.

I'm not sure you're understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that by the time they're deep into the playoffs, it's been several weeks/months since they've had a "preparation game". You have no idea whether or not the season would have turned out exactly the same or not by playing different schools in the preseason. When you win by 50/60/70 points for 6 weeks in a row.. then keep doing so until round 3, does it really make a difference that you had a close game in week 2? I don't think it does.. the starters haven't played more than 2 quarters since then. If anything, they've forgotten what it's like to have to play a whole game. There's no way that you can convince me that 2 weeks of "prep games" has an effect but 10 weeks of blowouts doesn't. Wanna play bigger schools preseason? Fine.. go ahead. I'm just saying that it doesn't make as much difference as people think. Newton would've won those state titles no matter if they played WOS before district or not. And.. can't be mad at WOS for not wanting to play a school multiple classifications lower... in football. That's a no-win situation for them.
