I don't disagree with you that there should only be two classes. But the number of teams have grown from 64 to 70 this year. Sounds like there will be more next year.
Also I heard the new Bismarck team is playing A in the west. Was told they are sponsored by Shiloh, could of played B, but petitioned up to A.

Should not be allowed to play B or A.

What team are you referring to? If it's the new legion team in Bismarck, then why shouldn't they be playing A? My guess is their team will consist of Shiloh players and possibly a few other players. The best players in Bismarck will still be playing in AA or the teams leading up to AA, (that goes for Shiloh's best players). Shiloh took 4th in Regional tournament against A schools and will not have all their starters. So I think B would be would be a good place to start. I'm sure they opted up for the competition and less roads to travel. My prediction is they will finish around .500 or a few games under.

You can not state that you know all the best players are going to play on the AA team. You do not know for sure. They should, but maybe not. If it was only the Shiloh players OK otherwise they are in a AA town. Go play AAU. Leave small town division to small towns.

Three levels: AA, A and B.
Perfect system.
If people from Grafton, Casselton, and Beulah want to b!tch because they don't get to destroy Great Bend, Cando, and Highway Whatever-The-Heck in the west, too bad. Grafton beat Wahpeton for the east title. Meanwhile, Oakes, Hatton, etc on to B state.
This is the right system. Go cry to your mommas about how you really really really really wanted to go to a B state instead of an A state. Explain to us how bad it is to beat Wahpeton instead of Larimore.

I completely agree that the junior legion teams from the AA towns should play in A instead of having their own league. I have always thought it was dumb when they removed them from class B legion and created the junior legion league. It was cool for those kids to play someone different then the same age group in the same towns they've played against since they were 10. They also didn't have outrageous success either. Even back when Minot was probably the biggest power in the state, they still only won (I believe) 2 section titles in 15 years.

I like the three classes but do not agree about the 16 year olds playing A. I also think that the Bismarck team that is in B should not be there. Just too many kids to pick from. You take the best 16 and 15 year olds from a large town will be better than most teams. Most class B teams and some class A team have to have Babe Ruth kids start on the Legion.
