You are correct and endowment games do not have to be the first game of the season.Pretty sure you take the best 10 game record, having to count all conference games. If you play 11 games and get to drop a non-conference loss, it doesn't have to be the endowment game.
No byes. He was referring to dropping a loss I think. Those SMC guys have a hard enough time getting 10 games, so 11 is tough. They are school yard bullies...lol
Now that u say that....duh. I don't know why I didn't comprehend that.I think what Polk Heel mean't is even if you play 11 games you still get a "bye week" during the season which is true. Not a "bye" in the playoffs.
I think I heard last year that the NCHSAA does it BD. You are correct.
1A should be cut down to 8 teams in the East and 8 teams in the West... or just absorbed and make it 1A....
1A is the reason why things were split into A and AA.
