A joke. With so many three-team districts in 2-1A, you're going to have plenty of two- and three-win teams, and some one-win teams, in the state playoffs. It's asinine to say the least. And what about six- and seven-win teams who stay home because their district draw is difficult? This is no way whatsoever to run this system. The current district football system is a joke. A joke.

He's currently tearing up the teams on their club schedule and he has more speed then most people on the city league teams. i know it will be tough for Wichita Trinity to succeed early especially with such a tough district, but keep an eye on their speedy freshman running back.

Now all the 6A schools in City League have exactly one non-league opponent in their district. Assuming that each of the six plays another non-league foe in the first six weeks of the season, each of them will have seven league games. Carroll and West will be in a district together, meaning they each have two non-league games in district. If they each play only league opponents the first six weeks, they would each also have seven league games. The only team out of luck in this scenario is Kapaun, which has three non-league district games, so can get only six league games. This is clearly unfair to Kapaun. Has any thought been given to a league schedule that designates six league games for every school, with the option that each school (other than Kapaun) schedule either an extra non-league game or a game with a league opponent that doesn't count in the league standings? There is really no perfect solution when you have nine teams in a league and unequal numbers of district games, but the current setup really has a fairness problem.
