I didn't realize that I was whining. I only asked a simple question. I only mentioned Abilene because it was there for so long, but if I remember correctly it was up to the coaches from the respective schools to choose the location, and Abilene was usually pretty close to a half-way point...
I tried using your calculator to determine the best choince between Merkel and Tulia and it gave all stadiums in East Texas. Think your machine is broken
Here is what I've got from the schools that could have chosen to play 6 man instead of 11 man:
D'Hanis (104) 3-7 (win against Runge)
Crosbyton (103) 2-8 (win against New Home)
Shamrock (100) 3-7 (win against Munday)

I would say that, overall, this would make things less watered down, as it would reduce the number of state champions from 12 to 8. We already have plenty of teams that make the playoffs that shouldn't. By the time they get to state they have sorted themselves out and those that are there belong...

I had mentioned that Olfen (Who plays six man in Middle school) had turned in high school enrollment numbers. I also notice that Wildorado has turned in numbers. Does anyone know if it is correct that these two schools now have high schools?
When I coached at Novice, we had a banner hanging on the wall saying that our girls had been the basketball state champions. The date pre-dated the UIL sanctioned girls state championships. Who would know what league existed for girls before the UIL and if any records are available?
I was just wondering how many six-man or six-man sized schools have more than one campus? I know that Knox City, Lueders-Avoca, Aspermont, and Eula do.
