    I grew up in Olympia. It’s Sid Otton.

    Sid Otton once called my high school coach. I took a message from Sid and can confirm this rumor.

    Dude went 3-8 his first year and 13-2 his second year. That's a hell of a turnaround.

    Aberdeen was our rival in the legendary Southwest League

    #MyTBirds
    #YourTBirds called #MyLancers for a scouting report in the 89 championship game. #YourTBirds won yet Sid Otton never publicly thanked me for my crucial role in their victory.
    #WeTBirds speak of #YouLancer contribution often, in private.

    Since this has become a WIAA classification thread, I would just like to ask if anyone knows how that actually works anymore. It can’t be just based off of enrollment like it used to be. There are shitty public schools with like 1500 kids that play in AA now while Catholic schools with half as many students play in AAA.
    To my knowledge AAAA is still based on enrollment. But it seems like the lower divisions are almost on a relegation system now.

    At one time, schools could opt up, or down. When I was doing the HS thing, we would meet with the AD before reclassification and vote on it. We were AAA enrollment, but close enough to choose. Don't know if it's the same now...we always opted up.

    Keep in mind that when I grew up there were like 100,000 people in the whole state. I was in the last class of one high school Olympia. Once they split for Capital High it wasn't the same. Capital had some fine football squads. West side rich kids

    I grew up with Jack Swarthout and Bobby Dunn and Friday night trips to Vancouver, Kelso, Longview, or the Harbor. Lot of Pac 8 players came from the Southwest League. CSB

    Close - that was fall '93 and the state didn't switch to calling it 4A until 1996.
    Confusingly, what was AAA became 4A, AA became 3A.
    They added a new 2A I assume from the bottom end of the old AA enrollment size.

    Tumwater won the top classification, and Capital lost in the semis of the second highest classification, which was sweet too.

    In 1997 they split the district when Black Hills opened, and THS dropped back down to 3A. A decade later they re-re-did classifications again and THS and co dropped to 2A.
    I know, CSB. I'll just go fuck myself.
