Am I the only one who thinks this division I, division II system is crap? If we need to divide the classifications into big and small, maybe we should just have another classification or 2 with tighter enrollment ranges.
I just watched Alvarado play a Whitney team that had about 17 players while we trotted out 2 platoons. I'm sure we've got twice as many kids in the high school as they have. Is that fair? A few years ago when Alvarado was 4A, we were playing Cleburne, Burleson, and Waxahachie, all of whom had almost twice as many kids in high school as we did. We'd hang with them in the first half and then get beat in the fourth quarter when our boys got tired. We were out depthed. I hate it when the season is over and state champs are crowned and you can still argue who is the best in each classification.
