Wow! Could someone please summarize that last post. How did they miss it by a mile? Strangely enough it seems as though we got two fairly equal sectionals out of the realignment. I agree that geographically it seems a little strange, but is that what we are trying to do? Are we trying to make the shortest drive for everyone involved? I don't know the answer to that, but it would appear not. I also can't figure out whose bench would disagree with the realignment. Would it be Castle because they lost a sectional they had won so many times before? I can't see Reitz or Memorial complaining. Reitz finally won a sectional for the first time in 38 years. I also don't get the quote, "I guess they want MD to win the sectional year." I assume you meant every year and am not sure why that is even relevant. MD does win the sectional every year. 37 years in a row in fact. I really doubt the powers that be looked at southwestern Indiana and thought, "Man, we need to give MD some help. Let's make their sectional a little weaker, so they don't have so much trouble." Really man, do you honestly believe that garbage?
The one thing I do agree on is many area programs are improving. Central is much improved, as is Jasper and Heritage Hills. Boonville has a couple of quality kids and Gibson Southern should improve with their new coaches. So why don't we just let the realignment go? Who did it hurt other than possibly Castle? Any time you have change some are going to perceive it as a negative for some and positive for others. I don't think you can determine that on one years results.
By the way, I was at the Central sectional and didn't see any coaches whining so they must have all been at Castle.
