The Head Coaches from the following teams all enjoyed and appreciated their Q&As on this site back in the day, and most of them are still close friends of mine to this day: DLS, Milton, Cardinal Gibbons FL, Lee, John's Creek, SJR, SJB, DBP and Grayson. 9 out of 10 ain't bad. I'll take those numbers any and all day! I wonder how many appreciated you logging onto a coach account? 🤔 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the true Texas bluebloods challenge themselves by getting on a plane to travel to a good OOS opponent. You do realize that MD has only traveled far and wide to play a relevant OOS opponent ONCE (SJC). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recent years we went Gorman who is relevant. Last year we played Centennial Arizona who was one of that state’s decent teams. I have never been a big fan of using resources to travel far and wide when there is plenty of good more local competition. Plenty of alumni and boosters feel the same way as I do. I’m an advocate of playing Cen10, Folsom, CC, Helix, DLS, Gorman, etc prior to Trinity League. It is a shame we are not playing these teams. No need to get on a plane. The largest benefit of traveling far away is the ‘experience’ for the kids. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't generally make good fiscal sense for most any team. Especially large publics with big rosters that rely on increased participation from students in a specific boundary to survive. It's a lot of nonsense. The games are fun to watch from a fan perspective, but, it's not like college where t.v. and endorsement deals are paying the school. We are talking about small travel stipends for these high schools. It's ludicrous, especially, as you say, there is often good teams to play that don't require plane trips and pared down rosters. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This landscape is changing. Over the next 4 years, PGL/Flo will be doling out between $500k-$1M to hsfb teams around America to particpate in quality, OOS games.

First off... I didn't say OOS doesn't matter, so pay attention and comprehend. Don't be an @Ga96 What I said was these "far and wide" demands from a few loons trying to profit from it at the end of the day are stupid. Non-bordering states demands and that type nonsense. Teams from Georgia can find great competition in Florida and the Carolinas along with some in Alabama. There simply isn't a need to fly to California to prove anything. Especially when the money ain't right. These teams mostly agreed to play for similar dollar amounts as local teams. Also, as someone else said, sometimes things don't align for area schools, so, there is sometimes a necessity to branch out wider for games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colquitt has played oos games since I was a kid. We played Florida schools, Alabama schools and South Carolina schools as far back as I can remember. Not every season, but, a lot of seasons through the years. So, I never said oos didn't matter. What I did say was it doesn't make fiscal sense for a school with a large roster to have to pare down the roster and fly to some state a thousand miles away for a loss in revenue, when they flew right over good teams/competiton right next door. I love oos games. I love seeing the fans enjoy bragging rights and all that. I do feel like it helps give pollsters better ability to guess at who may be better over all also due to the connecting games after an oos game is played. It's silly to demand a team that relies on participation numbers to survive, pare down their roster and fly somewhere for what amounts to a fiscal loss monetarily and a potential participation loss in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Having said that, as a fan, I'm always excited when a team does take the loss in revenue and go somewhere for a huge match up. I hope that my team can and will do something like that too. I'm also rooted in the reality that the chances are slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when there's a will, there's way. Milton has exemplified this mantra by scheduling games in CA, DC and PA the last three seasons. @Coach Clack is definitely a diamond in the rough! He gets IT.
