VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP GAME PICKS

[Darth Backer]

Should be a crime that Ridgeview is not been placed in Division 1 for the last few years.
Sorry Lemoore, you will be another victim of Central Section nonsense.
Only the smaller schools are victims.

They have over 1,900 students...  No victim there.

Mic Drop....

I don't want to guess at numbers here so here are the calpreps.com numbers for student enrollment:

Ridgeview: 2191
Lemoore: 1897

pretty good match-up

darth if you are going to use logic and facts you will be asked to leave.

I'd like you guys to answer this for me, why are you so hell bent on "competitive balance"? We all agree that football and sports are great because of the life lessons that they teach, correct? Well if you can show me proof of the last time that the world had "competitive balance, I want to see it. Why do you quit your griping about balance and fairness, ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, EVER!

I'm someone who thinks that our section actually does a pretty good job placing teams into the proper divisions.

I only want to see ONE change:

8 team brackets in the existing 6 divisions.

This would serve 3 purposes-
1.) Keep all of the under .500 teams out of the playoffs
2.) Erase all of the bye weeks
3.) Shorten the season for the section champs that are now guaranteed what would be a 14th. game.

Teddy, I'm not hell bent on competitive balance, that's why I posted, I was done trying to understand it as it pertain to sports in the CIF.

As long as school A as the same amount of students, or close to the same amount of students as school B, personally, I'm done deciding competitive balance.
Yes, IMO, "schools with issues"  can be placed in leagues, and divisions based on their student enrollment, and function very well.
100% agree with your post.

Teddy, I agree with your post, but CW also revealed how much he despises the south valley.
a Clovis West guy having to choose Clovis High in anything has got to be embarrassing or illegal.

I'll always pick the Clovis school. There wasn't much rivalry on the football field between CW & Clovis from 2004-2007. We beat them 51-14 my senior year & Clovis East was the game we alway had circled.

No explanation required CW2007, just messing with you.
