If a number 2 gets upset by a 31 or whatever East Surry is then we have a seriously flawed system. Of course we all know that the LSMC teams will get beat, that is an absolute disaster that they get in there taking up high seeds and knocking teams out of the playoffs that should be in there.

Of course we all know that the LSMC teams will get beat, that is an absolute disaster that they get in there taking up high seeds and knocking teams out of the playoffs that should be in there. Normally the wheat gets separated from the chafe in round 1 but that is not always the case. For example, Mt Airy will get to play a mid 20's seed in the 2nd round only because that mid 20's seed got to play the LSMC team that was seeded obviously too high in the first round. I am not sure that i know exactly how seeding should be done, but this way does not work. Example, the best 2 1a teams in the West end up in the same bracket. How is that fair? And of course if you are one of the other teams in that bracket like ( my 5th seeded Trojans ) then you have to go through both of them if you have any hope of getting to the regional finals, and I didnt even mention that both of the best teams in the west prep and Lincoln Charter are coincidentally advantaged schools to start with. Sorry for the rant, but when I see our path to the Regionals and Avery's path to the Regionals the equity just does not seem to be there at least for me. I guess I am just a little confused with what was wrong with the old system. In 2014, you had two rounds of real Regionals in Greensboro. The first round pitted 2 true western teams in Avery and Alleghany, and both those towns apparently closed down to bring their entire community to support them. The second game pitted 2 true midwest teams playing with prep against Albemarle. You ended up with a true Regional championship game with the best team from the West versus the best team from the midwest. Why all the experimenting?
East Surry Girls were a 16 seed and boys a 32 seed and the boys almost pulled the upset. NW1-A top 4 teams played stronge schedules out of Winston Salem,3 & 4 A schools.If a number 2 gets upset by a 31 or whatever East Surry is then we have a seriously flawed system.
