I don’t like it. Who’s complaining about the current format? Doesn’t seem like anything is wrong with the current setup

A lot of Head Coaches even ones that make the playoffs consistently. I believe the commute that came up with this had QO, Suitland and a few other coaches on who always have playoff caliber teams

I like this idea. The less successful programs get a chance to have some postseason success & win an “open” championship.

I like it. In Illinois all teams with 6 wins get in. So this helps. 32 team playoffs and consolation games. Gonna def be more upsets. 5 games to win a trophy. Now this is what you call a state playoff system. It still limits the transportation and I like the re-seeding for the final 8. Now all they need is neutral state semifinal locations.

That 3A east is loaded once again. The Jump start program now hurts River Hill with the extra 120+ kids from the Long Reach area and school.

Thanks for that info ECF.  No wonder River Hill jump back up to the 3A classification.

I don't think the 3A East will be that strong next year.  River Hill and Westminster are in the region.  They are both decent 3A schools, but probably not threats to win the 3A championship.  With North Point moving down and Damascus moving up, Linganore will have some pretty stiff competition to go with the teams in the North - Dundalk and Franklin.  Additionally, Mergenthaler is moving to the 3A North.  I am excited to see the open competition in the 3A next year.

I spoke to a Baltimore City Football coach who told me that Baltimore’s Divisional setup is no more. Now, Division A has Dunbar, another former Diviision 1 team and several DII teams. Mervo heads Division B with several former DI teams and a few former DII teams. The winner of the two Divisions play for the City championship.

Supposedly the former DII teams were tired of Dunbar getting to play and beat a bunch of 2A & 3A teams and securing home field advantage in the MPSSAA playoffs. I don’t know if they had a valid point but Dunbar should have no problem going undefeated as they did in the previous format.
