My realignment proposal

[sec2011]

I'm a basketball coach and I've never heard a coach say "man I wish we could play more games". We don't need so many games, we don't need to start playing games while half the schools are still playing football. Shorten it all a week or two.

It's ridiculous how big the overlap is. Kids in the championship this weekend will miss half the dang basketball season. Imagine being a basketball recruit but stuck in football still because you play that too.

That's what I'm hitting at. It would be nice for Coaches and Admin to be able to focus all their attention on winter sports by Thanksgiving. It's just a watered down experience across the board. Not to mention the really young kids that are getting 8 quarters and moved up to playoffs. Now they have zero time with their JV basketball team and are not developing.

Cardinal Gibbons in 6A would be a travesty. Players whose parents PAY to keep them OUT of public schools would win at least 10 “public school” state championships every year. Place them in 8A along with Catholic - or, even better, kick them out of the NCHSAA.

What would that look like? Do we have enough big private schools here in NC? Are there enough to have an east and a west? Is there enough to balance into at least two classifications? In the Raleigh area I believe there are only 2 schools that have over 1000 students - Cardinal Gibbons and North Raleigh Christian. I think Ravenscroft has 400-500.
