Tri-Cities Prep 2010

[prescottiger]

Is this TCP's last chance to win the gold ball at the 8 man level? Will they be moving to 2B and playing 11 man next year? I know they didn't have a lot of kids on the sidelines this year. Will they have enough bodies to play 11 man if they go 2B?

[GridironBeez]

Likely not, I think they have 16 or 17 kids, so playing 11-man is probably a long shot at best. My best guess is ineligible 8-man "play down" next year. May be a few other teams around the State doing that also. I think teams with counts below 20 kids out for football are starting to realize that it is in the kids best interest (although not a perfect scenario) to play down and give up any post season, league championship contending.

[GridironBeez]

Gar-Pal will likely play down if they are above the count again. Their experience doing that this year was a good one.

[CoachK]

There are quite a few 11-man teams that should be playing down to 8-man. They could have their own playoff game at the end of the season.

Or......

Do like Idaho and have two 8-man divisions.

[Coug Coach]

The WIAA should take note at how many 2B schools 'play down' and make a change; whether it be adjusting the 1B ceiling or, as Coach K suggests, have different 8 man classifications. I won't hold my breath though.
We have been playing down for 3 years and will probably be eligible for play-offs next year - our boys are excited for next year already!

Idaho is based on four-year enrollments:
1A Division I (100-159)
1A Division II (0-99)

Some of the smaller 2A schools in Idaho would be equivalent (enrollment-wise) to the big 2B schools in Washington. There is no small-school B-11 football in Idaho; the last 1A 11-man championship was in 2002.

Would a second B-8 division require a WIAA amendment? Or, if enough teams do this next year, could there be a playoff?

I'm pretty sure it would require some kind of amendment since it would add another classification for playoffs and a championship game. As of right now, I don't think the WIAA is interested in adding one more classification for those. But I might be wrong.
