1A Scores and Schedules

B
After Fort Hill, it looks like spots 2 thru 5 are all up for grabs. Clear Spring, MR, Northern and Alco all have a shot to claim any of those spots, and the really good thing is is that it won't be settled until next week's games are finished. They are all that close. I really think that it's going to come down to bonus points. After looking at it closely, it just gave me a headache.

Let's face it, some people are never happy with anything. If FH loses to Dunbar it's Dunbar recruits and it's not fair. If you move FH out of a class with Dunbar then the entire classification is watered down. When Dunbar beats FH nobody says it's horrible because the class is watered down. What is fair? Who decides what is right or wrong? FH brings in these supposed crowd drawing teams because it's a challenge and it's great for fans and then nobody shows up and there is an entire thread about why the population is at fault. Honestly if you can't laugh at this stuff you don't have a sense of humor. I keep saying if 1A is so bad why isn't Alco or MR winning any titles?

I get so tired of hearing about Dunbar. The advantage that Dunbar has is that anyone who lives in the city of Baltimore can go to any school of their choice. It is a fact that the better kids go to Dunbar to play football. It’s not a secret. It’s also not a secret that the Dunbar coaches encourage them to come.

I still stand by what I’ve been saying. The best Fort Hill teams beat the very best Dunbar teams. I’m talking about the years that Ty Johnson Barnes and Graves played for Fort Hill and last year in particular.

Mountain Ridge and Allegany not winning titles doesn’t mean that 1A isn’t bad. They just aren’t as good as FH. FH is a good program playing in an extremely weak classification as a result of the states greed with the 6 class system. 1A was never all that great to begin with, but it reached new levels of awful in the post pandemic years. Pointing that out isn’t a dig at FH.

What are you talking about? Go back to 4 classes and does Allegany even get in the playoffs? Cone on now.

So if this is correct, Alco's potential next 4 games would be Northern, FH, Northern, FH. Maryland playoff system with 6 classes stinks!

And for FH it also looks like Smithsburg, Alco, Smithsburg, Alco. No one wants these things. The 6 classes is worthless and watered down. One would think coaches would at least want some challenges in the regular season but that's not the case either. We live in wuss society.

Sorry but a team that goes 4-5 doesn't really deserve to be in the playoffs, even if they played a tough schedule like Allegany did this year. This format of every team gets in just sets up a lot of mercy rule games in the early rounds. Alco Northern should be competitive but do we need to see it 2 times in 3 weeks? I guess the only way to prevent this is if all the local teams play each other early in the season.

The 2003 Joppatowne Championship team would disagree with you.

I get the gist of what you're saying, but in current 1A football, playing a tough schedule (sometimes out of necessity) doesn't mean a 4-5 record should be scoffed at.
