No Postville or Sumner-Fredericksburg in yesterday’s updated classifications released by the the union. Will these teams still be fielding JVs?

Postville is missing from the tentative classifications. Are they not having a varsity again for the second straight season, despite having a JV team last year and 8th graders now being eligible?

When a post criticizing the Ranking/Regional process has nearly 30k views, it’s time for something to change. Could they look these athletes drawing the short end of the stick in the eye and say, β€œSorry, we just couldn’t get the rubber bands to stretch far enough this year.”

Ran an Instagram poll where 75% of participants voted that they do NOT like the rubber band method for determining regionals. Bringing back a quote from the Regional Opinion piece which had >29k views: β€œWhat’s easy for the Union is NOT best for the players and coaches.”

Eyes open, eyes closed… the tacks and rubber bands are just as unprofessional and inaccurate either way
