Bottom number for 3A last realignment was 430.

So, it is a difference of 5 less, not 3. ;) ;D

Since statistics are your thing.....know that 3A has always had the worst ratio...they are bragging about it going down from 2.3 to 2.2....that sounds good in theory but, here are the numbers:

This past alignment 3A was 432-989
The new alignment 3A is 450-1004

The bottom number went up 18 and the top number went up 15....that is a difference of THREE people!  The 3A ratio is typically one of the worst in reclassification.  Then you top it off with every other classification having at least 230 schools in it except 3A which has 190.
[/quote]... and your point is?

Tell me in any of my posts where I said this was a perfect system, and I will apologize for being mistaken.  All I've said is that its still the best system available.

What's wrong with the 190 3A schools anyway?  It just increases the chances of any one team for winning the state championship from 0.43478% (for 230 school classification) to 0.52632% (for 190 school classification)!!!  Now, shouldn't that make you feel better for all the inequity out there in the sports world?  ;)

[/quote]Which means it shot up from the past ratio of 2.3 to the present ratio of 2.31.

OK, now I see your point.  It's not fair!!!  ;)

This problem will exist forever and it's not as much of a numbers issue as a competetive capability issue IMO. I have alot of friends that coach in the Beaumont area(Kountze,HJ,and others)and the post about Kountze holding their own against the local 4a/5a teams is true but not as relevant as it sounds up front. Yates is not a typical 4a, as they are annualy ranked number 1, and the true competetive distance between them and the annual number 2 in 4a is arguably immeasurable in most recent years.Until there is a way( And there doesn't seem to be one) to seed teams based on their prior seasons records or  success in a certain division then this argument will continue forever. I've enjoyed reading alot of intelligent posts on the subject and this is just my humbled opinion.

Yates has a allstar AAU team that is now playing 3A ball. I think they are all underclassmen as well.

[/quote]Not sure, but maybe 2-3 they're losing to graduation. And yes, they're young and players are still[s] coming[/s] moving into the district.
