I for one hate the idea. We had a first year team win state three
years ago. No one would have put sluh in a top spot last year after
their previous season, and I could probably name a few other
"shockers" additionally, how do we then seed teams for the state
tourney, do a-flight wins count for more? I also don't agree that
there is. No point in playing the game. Check last years scores, we
are developing some real parity. That wouldn't occur if there was a
mediocre division. I'm all for a jv division, as long as we can get 4
teams in it, but otherwise I think its unfair and unproductive.
