Are you going to turn it into a tourney? When i was in HS the CNB/Times classic was THE event
I believe these type events are great for basketball, but not so much for football. Calvary, Parkway, and the S'Port area teams can enjoy them, but when a team like West Monroe(thankfully not involved), Neville, or Bastrop gives up a home game to participate I think it is bad business.Quote:

MD, from what i hear Coach Davidson say, it is so hard for teams like Acadiana to get teams to play them they are almost forced to play in this event.
Yeah, Shows complained about it for years. The "elite" HS teams should be playing home and home games instead of these type deals. My problem is asking fans to drive to S'Port when it replaces a home game. Also, high school football games on Saturday are just STUPID!Quote:
