Schools near urban areas have an advantage. I wouldn't use the term "unfair."
Regardless of where your school is at enrollment is enrollment so if you live in Fargo and your school has 100 boys or you live in the middle of nowhere and your school has 100 boys. It’s still 100 boys either way.
Should Bismarck High play Harvey/Wells County? It's 11 boys vs 11 boys.
Flip you know we are discussing the amount of boys a school has to choose from to field a team, not
The number of players on the field. I am simply making the point it doesn’t really matter where a school is located at, but what does matter is that particular schools enrollment. That’s the reason Jamestown is upset about being back in AAA because their enrollment is so much smaller than the other schools try have to play. They both will have 11 guys on the field but they have 300 boys in school and Minot has 1000 it is pretty easy to figure out the team that will probably find more athletes to play on their team. We can argue the semantics of it but if two schools both have 100 boys in it, I would say it’s fair that they would be in the same division regardless of where they are located or if they are private or public.
Sometimes I wonder if people confuse private schools with Charter schools like they have in other states that get state funding. ND does not allow those types of schools
