Class 1A West Point Totals - Week 5
I usually total these on Sunday but there were cancelled games due to weather that were played yesterday.
There is a great deal of disgust with this football regional set up now coming from more places then just Western Maryland. That's a good thing to see others down state now taking issues with the system because it is severely unjust and flawed. I now expect in the next couple of years something to change.
One aspect I personally am complaining about that makes no sense...no team should be able to receive bonus points when a defeated team beats non-sanctioned schools. There are many examples. One example is with Avalon. Fort Hill was told they could not play Avalon as the MPSSAA would not sanction them. OK, then if Silver Oak beats Avalon later in the year (which won't likely happen) then neither Fort Hill nor Allegany should be able to get that bonus point. Another example would be...if St. James beats Central Maryland Christian then Clear Spring should not get that bonus point. If Hancock beats Maryland School for The Deaf, then Hancock should not get the bonus point for MSD beating Eastern Shore Home School.
If you are confused, allow me to simplify:
If the MPSSAA tells Fort Hill they cannot play Avalon, how can Fort Hill get a bonus point if Silver Oak beats Avalon?
It makes no sense. Just crazy, stupid stuff. If a team is not sanctioned to play, then they cannot be sanctioned to hand out bonus points.
