As we said, the MAIS playoff format is going to be insane

1-5 North Delta is ahead of 6-1 Oak Hill. oak Hill beat them 40-0

That’s before last week’s games…

It’s MRA, JA, Prep, and Hartfield 1 - 4 in order right now…

Edit to add: Interesting way in which the power points are given… Looks like games against the Big 4 earn more points win or lose…

Hartfield is literally playing Heritage, East Rankin and Starkville Academy the next 3 weeks - as district games.

This is ridiculous. And the solution should be simple. The big 4 are the top classification. The next 16 are the 2nd classification. Each 2nd division team plays 1 of the big 4 in a non-district game. All of the big 4 and 8 of the 2nd division make the playoffs.

About time to close the MAIS down. It is very hard to have a higher level of incompetence than the MISSHSAA, but the MAIS has succeeded.

Parklane will lose one game this year (this week to MRA) and probably be relegated to Division 2 playoff.

Nothing wrong with the MAIS…..it’s probably needed for the smaller schools.

The issue here is bending over backwards for the Jackson 4, because they refuse to play public schools with a multiplier, like every other state does. Remove that aspect then every issue with this goes away.
