Nigel, we spend days listening to your opinion about anything and everything that passes through this forum. It's o.k. for some of us to have a conversation. We don't need you telling us what we should and should not talk about.
About St. Thomas Aquainus, well, I believe they are a really good team. However, I do not believe that they would be sending the same numbers they are sending if they came out of the same region as we did. Goddard, Maize, Hutchison, Garden City, Wichita South, Dodge City, and Wichita North would probably knock off some of those kids coming out of that regional.
About the travel budget, that would not change that much at all. Hell, last year we went and did an over night trip to Dodge City, and next year it's possible to we could be in Garden City. That is why you rotate where the regional is from year to year to accomodate each other.
About seeding according to the last years record, well, it would spread the good teams out. Yes, from year to year teams change, and that would effect them the following year. I do think if you place high at state it's o.k. to reward you the next year. If you are bad that next year, you will be stuck with the better teams the next year. It will rotate. It just evens it out. And yes, 4A can do the same thing so I don't want to hear th 4A yada yada yada!
