Fair post.
1) lol - I am quite aware when either team (including my own) gets calls that go their way or not. I often point out when I feel one team appears to receive more than their fair share of favorable calls. One of the NHS wins over Rapp this season, I posted Rapp got a raw deal on many calls which really hurry their chances to win.
I don't want favorable refs, I just want a fairly called game as best as they can (which is what most refs try to do). Refs at NHS game last night were great overall and kept awesome control of an exciting game between heated rivals.
2) No problem with what you said there. My point was sometimes you get the wrong seed at the top - a recent example, was it baseball or softball last year where Windsor was the number 1 seed, then got destroyed in the regions by a low seed.
3) I can assure you that the NND produces many of the best 1A teams in almost all sports. NND teams also play many upper level teams if possible, depending on locations.
4) Point system worked pretty good this year - Top 4 teams won and appear to be the best - have no problem with Tri-Rivers - I'm sure that the games will be fine. I have no issue with away games. Good point on Surry from 2014.
