NE In The Know League 2019-2020

[crbirdx1]

This year our league has grown up to 22. Pickerington North is gone but we welcomed Dublin Jerome back, and 1st timers Columbus Academy and Franklin Heights. The league will be separated into two leagues an A and a B league. They will all run PACE rules with an extra TU to break a tie. There will be 2 divisions of 7-8 teams in the A league which will be divided into North/South Divisions. Route 161 was the dividing line. The B league will consist of 7 teams that wanted less competition (self-selection). We will be using the Glasgow Scottie set for Varsity and the Miami Valley RAMS set for JV. This post may have a few errors. Here is a link to the distributions:

I presume its Dublin Scioto’s underclassmen/JV in the ‘B’ league, yeah?

[crbirdx1]

No, they are most likely playing their real Varsity against the weaker teams in the league. The coach wanted to put the team in that lower division even though they played at MV and made the championship bracket:

It makes no sense to me but no Dublin team should ever be in a "B" league.

[tomoore]

Is there any indication that it’s the Scioto ‘A’ team participating and not their ‘B’ team? In the absence of stats for the B-League, it would be wise to not rush to a conclusion.

But... if it were their A team then that would be Not Good.

I know I'm going to regret this... but I'm dumb enough to try.

Sometimes people make choices we don't agree with, either it is because they don't know what we do or for bad reasons. Sometimes people have to learn.

I always thought I would be smarter when I got close to 40.

I think that sometimes when a coach is new they might not know any better. Scioto most likely went to MV with a parent.
