Well district finals in volleyball and other sports have brought teams such as Orion/Clarkston, Birmingham Marian/Bloomfield Hills, Utica Eisenhower/Stoney Creek, and etc.
Those are all great matches, all likelihood State
quarterfinal or State semifinals but to put it in districts is not right. Is it
time to include every team and put them in a regional format???
It’s a strong possibility.
The MHSAA has been considering the regional format for some
time. It’s worked in Boys Lacrosse to strong success. The idea of going
regional is to base the assignments off a regional format to include every team
and use the overall record from the regular season as where you will be seeded
instead of a draw of a hat.
So many schools have complained about being paired with a
team that is to the equal or better than you are and also that one team will
move on while the other goes home.
I think it’s time to look into this, now yes it will eliminate
the district concept but records have to mean something. It would be awesome to
see an Orion/Clarkston, or a Utica Eisenhower/Stoney Creek, or a Birmingham
Marian/Bloomfield Hills regional wouldn’t it???
Hopefully next season the MHSAA looks into making this a
regional format and not a district format, there are too many good matchups and
top teams in the same district. If it were a regional format, it would be more
interesting.
