Kyle, I remember this when it was first brought up in 2001, and I thought it was a great idea then, and it still is the best I have seen to date. In the current system you can have a top notch 4A team have to play a below average 4A team just because they are in the same region. I'll use last year as an example when Irmo had to play OW 2 times. Games like that are absolutly no good for either team. Not the players on the better team, not the players on the less skilled team, or the fans/parents that watch the games. They are just a waste of time for everyone involved. Your system would have OW playing against comparable teams to themselves (even if it might be a 1A team). At least that way the games are competitive, and both teams can have fun and hopefully even get better by playing a team that is more their equal. Bottom line on this is, what does it take to get your proposal for realignment to become a reality, and I'm only talking about soccer now, not the other high school sports??
