As coach of the CC team, I will say this...IF (and it's a big if) there is ever a A State Championship, I would not have a problem playing in the AA ranks if that is what the HSL says we have to do. The 1.5 ratio would ONLY move us to AA anyway. We do not and WILL NOT shy away from the best competition we can play. Even though at this time we do not have the number of club developed players as other teams (including Woodruff), I would still suggest that CC can play with some of the best teams in all classifications. I refuse to allow the team to slide by playing only teams I think we are capable of beating.
All of the data and research is great and quite frankly a little overwhelming, but if making changes would make everyone else happy, I would be happy as well. Even if I don't agree with the idea, if the HSL says this must be done, then we would abide. And it would make winning the AA Championship that much nicer (if that ever happened). This is just my opinion.
