SCHSL proposal gets mixed reaction from area coaches

"If we're going to have five team regions that means we're going to have four games that are going to be important," Coach Jeff Tate of Wren said. "The other seven, in all honesty, will be meaningless except for preparing for games in your region. If you can win three or four games you're going to be in the playoffs. Some will say it gives you a chance and some will say that doesn't show your body of work for a whole season."

B-HP coach and athletic director Russell Blackston agrees in principle with the proposal and said it should encompass all sports. "The part that has to be done for our high school sports team is it needs to be all sports, just not football," Blackston said. "If it's football only, I'll be against it if that's the case. If it's all sports, I'll support it because that's the way high school is supposed to be."
