So, DD is a junior this year, and I have watched our high school games for a few years before that, so short sample size for reference. I have noticed that our school plays a LOT of teams that we just really don't stand a chance against. Based on the the size of the schools, and population that they support, are normally the better programs. And then of course there are a few exceptions that the schools just may have good coaching, and a good core group that the local travel teams support. Looking at our DD's schedule, we have 35 games scheduled this season. Our conference teams, including DD's team, there are 6 Total. We only play each conference team one time. One time. Doesn't make any sense at all to me. Why not eliminate some teams that we never beat, and don't even give a good game to (Cannonball's school for one, and their neighboring team (Bulldogs cannonball)) and play each conference team two or three times each?
Is this type of thing common in High School? Common in other areas of the country also? I am metro east Illinois side from St Louis. We actually do Ok against like sized/skilled teams, but a lot of these games are just throw away games that we have no chance.
