There was a team at state volleyball that absolutely didn't belong there, and there is at least one team at state basketball that doesn't belong there. What this tournament has done is tell schools to stop playing meaningful games in the regular season, run your record up, and get what you can. That's a setback for the game.
They ALL belong there. They played their district games, played their region games and won. I understand that the west regions (7 and
are weaker regions but we don’t live next to big cities (i.e. Thompson) and we aren’t private schools. Some schools are consolidated...we are small town class B schools. We apologize if the games we play aren’t as exciting as you’d like but we’re (the players, fans, communities are excited) so maybe watch the games for a great play or two. But to suggest that there are teams that don’t belong? No
Also, no one bitc#es and complains about an all-west semifinal, because, in the east, we realize we will have to drive to get to actual games. But imagine the pain and heartbreak of the convoy that came up from Region 7 to see all of their west comrades in the sunshine half.
And those of us in the west don’t??
