For the first time in as long as I can remember, all 6 state championship games were basically blow outs. Graham-Central may have been best game at 34-7. I watched 1-4 often switching hoping to see a game. I know a lot complained about travel but the east-west format with cross bracketing state semis provided better championship games. Like this year I think Appo and Graham would have been played in Salem as would have the Riverheads-Essex game. In regions alot of the time one region or C&D or A&B can have two or more of the best teams and once getting out of region or semis games are more of blow outs like yesterday. Just think state championship games should be the best games of playoffs and this year they were far from that. Justy opinion but I know a lot didn't like the travel.
