I think promotion/relegation would be fine in high school. If you look over time, you typically have the same group of schools that have been strong. This would mean they would be playing each other instead of having non-competitive region games against very weak opponents (20-0, etc). If a school runs into hard times after being promoted, it would only last one season and they would be relegated. It would mean players for teams like Lower Richland, O-W, Laurens, etc, could actually enjoy the sport playing each other instead of getting killed game after game by the likes of AC Flora, BC, Lexington, TL Hanna, etc. On the other hand, a school like White Knoll, for example, who has improved greatly over the last 10 years, would be moved up into a level of competition commensurate with their improved quality of play.



I could not agree more Coach P. However, with our inbred collection of athletic directors and administrators that can't even find the value of a draw in soccer, then this is a pipe dream at best.
