It’s fairer this way. Sometimes Waterford will go to Whiteoak and sometimes they’ll play Federal Hocking. More difficult for coaches to bond together to control the seedings.

I’d rather travel 3 hours to face the appropriate rank of a team than travel 25 minutes to play a team that should’ve been ranked 2-3 spots higher.

Or one sectional way tougher than another ….this way the SE District has a better chance of having the better teams representing the SE district at the district and regional levels.

Central District , for example, seed their teams, however they get a choice on the bracket where they want to go. This allows a team to decide to look ahead and figure what District or Regional they want to try and go for also if they don't want to travel a great distance pick a school closer.

Have to travel halfway across the state to mercy teams. Few years ago eastern came across the number 6 state ranked and number 1 seed Portsmouth Clay and beat them by double digits in 5 innings. Dumb.

They’re down. No bones about it. They start five first-year players in the field and in the lineup. At times it is frustrating but it brings everything into perspective: it’s a game played by kids, and to appreciate the highs (strings of good seasons, last year’s team) you sometimes have to realize it isn’t guaranteed. Nevertheless I’m proud of our young guys that are continuing to improve and when they can contribute to a team effort. After 2020 I learned that you can’t take a single game, week or season for granted — and with that comes a newfound appreciation for the gift of high school baseball.

Plenty of respect to Meigs. Dodson threw a good game against us last year. If he’s pitching again this year I wish him and his teammates nothing but the best this May. It would be great to see the Maurauders play in June.

If you keep teams in their sectional like it always was all the best teams make districts. Eastern and Huntington should meet in Chillicothe and same for southern and Manchester if they can make it out of their respective sectional tournament

Disagree, especially when there is a disparity with most of the strength in one sectional area.
