Jesus Christ - GTFO with that Boise State shit.

It's fucking BOISE STATE. Bring in Houston Nutt and dig up Pokey Allen's corpse just to seal the deal.

Chin for Pokey Allen reference...had a few drunken episodes with him back in the...

I grew up in Boise and had season tickets to boise state when pokey was there. What a legend

Dude was a classic. Bobby Dye as hoop coach was awesome, too, in a different way.

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.

Can't opt down, can opt up. A rule went in place a couple years ago that modifies headcount downward based on number of free/reduced lunches at a high school, can't remember the discount multiple. I guess you could think of that as an option to opt-down, but it is based on something. I'm guessing that's why Monroe was 3A this year, cuz that school is huge.

If you're talking about O'Dea re "half as many students," I think they are counted 2x because of boys-only enrollment.

Kennedy shares a neighborhood and stadium with Highline. Kennedy has 750 co-Ed students and competes at AAA. Highline has 1250 and competes in AA. Rainier Beach has the same number of students as Kennedy and also competes at AAA, despite having a much stronger sports program than Highline I would imagine they have similar numbers of free lunch recipients or whatever allows you to count fewer kids for sports.

Seems like you sort of get to play at whatever level you want.

I grew up in Orange County. Big time USC boosters are saying Pete Carrol is done with the Seahawks and headed to Montlake.

#MyLancers have been trying to put a stadium on campus for about 5 years now but the neighboring homeowners are fighting it. At one time, at least 4 schools used Highline Stadium between Highline, Evergreen, #MyLancers, and Tyee.
