As I focus on the 1A data (for obvious reasons) a couple things jump out at me. Coach Gamble's Dixie squad seems to be the cream of the Typical 1A school (with CC and SC being private schools and AM and GSSM being 'specialty' schools) the last 7 years or so. But then I remember all our battles with Buford and realize that as the schools move up or down in the classes the stats get confused. Is there any way of adjusting the data for class changes? Back some 10 years ago wasn't Waccamaw - 1A, AM - 2A, and Buford 1A, I'm sure there are others. But then again, 10 years ago the 1A class didn't have their own tournament. I'm assuming the data reflects only the class the teams are in now and their totals include all seasons not just the seasons in the present class. And what about the new schools, should we weight their stats to reflect as if they have been around longer? I realize that using percentages in some categories normalizes things like that, but percentages are not applicable to all categories. No big deal about all this, just throwing stuff around for discussion.
