No changes to NCHSAA calendar despite COVID-19 concerns, football playoffs get overhaul
Among the action taken, the board voted to eliminate subdivisions in high school football playoffs, meaning the playoffs will drop from eight brackets to four brackets. The change will take place in the 2021-2022 season.

Also cutting back to 10 games which I’m not crazy about because it eliminates a nonconference game. But I never thought I’d see the day that subdivisions would be eliminated in all classifications!
Only bad thing is will likely see ticket prices for the state title games doubled now.
Not sure. There is that speculation.
I have always said, reidsville will never play Shelby again. The bickering gets too many clicks.
No subdivision may end up a nightmare in 1A and 4A. The difference in school sizes in those divisions are still way far off from one another. 1A with 200 kids versus a school with 600 kids is a lot to overcome concerning depth, roster size and injury. 4A could be even worse, 1500 ADM versus 2800 ADM. This will help the bigger schools with more kids playing IMO.
I love it will make everything more competitive and make making the playoffs and winning a ring mean more.
Yeah I good school with 350 cant beat a 2a Reidsville the plays 1a because of free lunch. This will hurt the 1a fan base.
The reason its done in other sports is because enrollment doesn't matter as much in the other sports.
How does a well known member not know that. Oh yeah this is a 2a board. Its like a 2a shool with 900 kids having to compete with schools with 2100 kids.

Best I can find with my quick search there are around 206 High schools governed by the south carolina high school athletic league and north carolina has over 400 schools yet they have 5 championships and we have 4. 4 too little 8 too much. 5 or 6 fits better to me.
Just eliminate all conferences. 1 winner. 8 man vs 11.
Look at it this way.
If Reidsville is allowed to play up to 2A it means Shelby will save a lot of money by not having to bus all those kids from Crest just so they won't have to meet up with the Rams in the split division state playoffs.
They are bc 64 teams make it instead of 32. So there will be one more round of playoffs
Plus, it'll take away some of that whinning we hear after the State Championships about who's better the A or AA team that won. Also, helps NC football playoffs look better as far as teams that wins 2 or 3 games showing up in the playoffs and some even with a home games.😅🤦♂️
I like the one champion thing again...but I think NC should go to 5 classifications instead of staying with just 4....SC is smaller than NC and they have 5 classes....Georgia is almost the same population wise as NC and they have SEVEN classes...................
OK I looked it up....Georgia's population is 10.6 million and NC is 10.5 million......
The title games have not been big money makers and a logistical nightmare.
I would like to see five football playoff divisions all played at the same site or two at the most with staggered times.
I have always preached they could easily have four classes but make the football playoffs six divisions. Qualify conference champions and then Max Prep rankings. Same percentage of schools from each class make the playoffs. The largest 32 schools are D1. The smallest 32 are D6. Champions are too seed. Everyone else is at large. 192 teams make the playoffs. Play ball.

TN has 6 classes plus 3 private divisions. The championship games are all played at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, TN. The 3 private divisions played yesterday. They play 3 games today and 3 games tomorrow.
I think eliminating the subdivisions was a way to get the schools to vote for more classes. The schools had no real reason to go to more classes while everybody got a championship. Now that that's taken away there is more of a reason to increase the number of classes.
Just my completely uneducated opinion.
We might have to wait until 2025 though. I am not sure if we can decide to realign again in 2023 with a 5A class added.
Yes, it will be 2025. They COULD change their mind and subdivide without realigning, but can't actually make 5 or 6 independent classes.
I think the NCHSAA hurt the chance for the proposal to pass for 5 or 6 by leaving open the possibility of having only 3 classes, which scared a lot of small schools or schools surrounded by bigger schools.
Had they said "4 or more" I think it passes.
Plus, the NCHSAA put out several comments that were vague and seemed to be discouraging the proposal passing. So if they WANTED it to pass, they went anout it a funny way.
But yes, I think we get 5 or 6 classes in 2025

We may wait till 2025 for que and cooper to let us play football again
From Raleigh to DC we have a matching set of rulers now. High school football may be done, at least as we know it.
Let’s not get political.
Playing football should never be political. Individual schools and counties should have decided whether they were going to offer football this year. Then let parents and kids decide about playing. Comrade cooper and his minions took that choice away.
my grandsons have been playing travel baseball tournaments since May (fall baseball season just ended)...not sure why football wouldn't be available for kids...but who knows with the Socialists in charge.............
Ram, my guess is these baseball tournaments have been played on private property, not school grounds. Not a lot of football fields that is not on school property.
you are right altho some have been played at city and county parks.....so........can be very confusing about what is and isn't..not sure the people "in charge" know what the heck is going on..............
The other state are about finished with the season now. Our leaders decided to play when covid is supposed to be worse.
Now nchsaa is saying "hold my beer" we can be stupid also.
Way to go.

The High School’s in the Triad had a 7 on 7 league this fall that played on private soccer fields. That would never have happened on public schools.
There was some sad news in TN yesterday. Coalfield(1a) coach Keith Henry passed away from Covid complications. He coached his semi finals game 2 weeks ago.
Coalfield’s head football coach Keith Henry passed away due to COVID-19 complications
Henry passed away due to complications with COVID-19.
Davidson County leased fields to a private entity for baseball. The county was under the mistaken impression that doing it that way absolved them from liability. They also chose not to enforce the capacity limits.
Can’t imagine a school system doing that under the circumstances.
