High School Sports Thread

Would Clarksville be completely out of the picture then? They were sharing wrestling with NB and at one time football but not sure if they still do.
Clarksville and NB still share wrestling / Superintendent / HR person as some other stuff I believe. Football is back to being separate. Not sure if Clarksville would be out of the picture but would think they would try to stay by themselves for as long as possible. I think towards the end of wrestling season last year Rockford sent a couple wrestlers to NBC.

As far as Rockford and NB sharing, I could see for sports like football and girls basketball but outside of that I'm not sure it benefits NB much. Would it bump them to 2A? And if I read the article right, they may talk about whole grade sharing in the future? That's a decent amount of extra travel to include 3 towns that don't really provide much as they are a Clarksville / Janesville / Riceville sized district with 3 towns already. Also a good amount of Rockford kids would just open enroll to Charles City / Osage / Central Springs / Newman then instead. NB would be better off seeing what Clarksville wants to do. Should have made them a Wapsie Valley type district from the start anyway.
 
Pella Christian would absolutely dominate the SCC. Boys basketball went to state four years in a row recently and won a state championship during that run. They won the state track meet in girls this spring, dominating the meet. The SCC would fight it if it came to the state deciding I would guess. Pella Christian in the SCC would destabilize that conference IMHO.

Boys:
Baseball/Basketball/Track & Field = 2A

Football = 2A

Girls:
Softball/Basketball/Volleyball = 3A, Track & Field 2A

My assumption is they want to join the South Central Conference, since it makes the most sense geographically and enrollment-wise; they would be 6th in enrollment in the SCC vs. last in the LHC.

Additionally, everyone except for Knoxville and Clarke (3A) is 2A in the SCC, so they would be competing against the same-size competition. And, in reality, neither Knoxville nor Clarke is dominant in the SCC, so PC would compete with no issues.

PC enrollment for 26/27 is 240; in the LHC, the next smallest school is Oskaloosa at 465.

That conferenve is pretty bad. So they're doing what Pella did? They want easier opponents? Very Pella of them.

Its a little different, was looking at the 2A and it looks like you stay on your side of the bracket for quite awhile. So Cardinal beat the #1 seed and if they lose to IC Regina, they should play GV Christian again. You would think they would put the upper half of the bracket losers playing down in the lower bracket. No since playing the team you beat in the first round again in the 3rd round.
