Easily solved. If you charge tuition or receive non-public financial support (from a church, religeous organization, corpration etc.), you are in SCISA. Period.

Combining 1A and 2a won't keep St Joe's from scoring 10 goals.



I think it would since they'd be playing Academic Magnet.

But that doesn't really solve the big problem which is the private school vs public school issue.




To put it in perspective...

According to the Scoreboard, on 3/29, this year's 1A state champion lost to this year's 4A state champion in sudden death PKs...1-1 regulation/OT, 6-5 kicks from the mark.




Their only other losses were to JL Mann and Irmo in the regular season (by one goal each) and they beat 3A champs Eastside 4-0 in the preseason...

Needless to say, St. Joe's doesn't belong in 1A, but the rules won't let them play where they belong which is in 4A. Playing in SCISA won't help because they'll blow up everyone there even worse than in 1A.

Well making them play in SCISA will at least let the small public schools play each other which is the whole points of public education and having different classes.

If you want to attend a private school then go for it, but don't expect the right to play against public schools in sports.

I still think the better solution is what Paul Schleifer proposed last year -- a pro style relegation/promotion scheme. That way schools play at whatever level is appropriate for them regardless of whether they are small or large, public or private.

It's a good idea Emilio, but never work at the high school level due to multiple issues.

One its complicated, especially when you are dealing with 200ish schools. Although moving a couple of teams wouldn't be TOO hard.

Then you have the up and down issues with teams and students. Northwestern girls won the region last year, finished 5th this year all because 8 seniors last year etc etc.

The best solution is probably to treat them as 4a or to treat them as if they had double their actual student body to even things out a bit as some other states do.

if you double St Joes they might still be 1A.

the I in SCISA is INDEPENDENT for a reason.

theres such a disparity in hs sports built in anyway amongst true public schools correctly classified under the current system and that's fine. but to knowingly throw the small public schools to the wolves every year is a disgusting display from the morons in charge that should know better. those small public schools are following the rules & have no choice but to be squeezed out by the trophy collecting private schools. the coaches & admins of those private schools should be ashamed also for gaming the system...but they're not.
