I've been wondering some time now as to why teams have to play the other teams in their district. First off, lots of teams get to district undefeated and the five remaining games on their schedule have to be against district opponents who are terrible. Imagine if every team could schedule with whoever agrees to play them throughout the ten game season? Think of some of the great matchups there would be. And maybe we wouldn't have nearly as many 50-0 games like we do now. We could still have "districts" and "districts champs", but they wouldn't have to play one another if they chose not to. The district champ would be the team in each district with the highest power rating. It's just a thought...anyone with me on this?

Back when the brackets were done based on geography districts mattered. Today they matter less other than to have a district title banner and can claim a championship.

If we didnt have districts could teams like Evangel and John Curtis fill a complete schedule?
On the flip side of that could teams that traditionally go 1-9 and 0-10 fill games. Afterall who wants to play a team that wont help them in power points?

Districts make scheduling easier and develop rivalries. Gives teams something to shoot for in the regular season and keep a team motivated when the playoffs are still far off from starting. We've always had Districts and should always have them. Colleges have Conferences and even the NFL has Divisions. Its not broke so don't break it.

Right now you have Loreauville, Admiral Doyle Jr High, and The Extremely Expensive School in Youngsville. The rest of the district is Jeanerette, West St Mary, & Delcambre. The top 3 schools Power Ratings are drastically dropped when playing the other 3 schools. Plus sitting through 20+ run innings when we empty the bench and the opposing pitcher keeps walking batters is horrible to sit through.

Raven thinks to himself: Indy is talking sports instead of the split and syndrome. I must do something to stop this insanity.Hey indy,
Can you imagine if teams still had to win their district in order to make the playoffs like they did in the 50s and 60s? Think of the crying and complaining that (some) of the public schools would do until we had separate districts for public and non-public schools. It would be epic.Raven goes to get some popcorn and watch the results of his trolling experiment.

It's simple what would happen really. Everyone would be their own district and would be the champion so everyone could make the playoffs

Shop Rite doesn’t have enough beer available to sit through that.

I have been calling for the end of districts since they started using power ratings. They have become useless and can cause and have caused great complication. Particularly as an example during the Katrina years when Salmon won the district but only played one district game. They knocked out a team that had played the whole season and deserved to be in the playoffs.

Some of y'all may have misunderstood my post. You can schedule anyone you want to that agrees to play you. So if you have a traditional rival that agrees to play you you can still play them. The question I've asked was imagine if you didn't have to play the teams in your District. Kinder said there wouldn't be any more District champions and teams wouldn't have something to shoot for. In my post I said the district champ would be the team with the highest power point rating. So each team in each district would still have a chance to be District Champs. Now too good points brought up was bad teams finding teams to play them because no one would get many points for beating them. And also a team like Curtis might have a hard time finding 10 schools to play them. I think this would be better then a team say having one win after the eighth week of the Season having to play a team that is 8 and O. Anyhow, it was just a thought.
