    So I am assuming that HLV/tri will be in 8 man this cycle?

    7 v 7 and other Summer Activities

    I was at the Baxter 5v5 (8 -man equivalent). It was good to get back to football. About 12 teams there. Not sure if you learn too much from it though, but still football.

    I got nothing for you. Some schools and papers do better. There is a podcast that is all about promoting soccer. They will interview some of the teams but they are Des Moines centric. It is https://www.kifsoccer.com/. Iowa Score Stream is decent for football but terrible for soccer. The state...

    A challenge to ref those teams for sure. Between the rough play and the flopping it is a headache.

    2023 Season

    Soccer is the red headed step child, but there are some media coverage but seems to be local or even school oriented but nothing updated regularly. Except for scores not much to keep updated. At least there is live stream.

    2023 Season

    Plenty of teams on everybody's schedule that are cream puffs. Some are just geographical. I agree the points system is a little wacked. You definitely could game the system but to what end.

    2023 Season

    That is just the theme this year. They halfway bought into a ranking system but still rely on the point system of what class a team you beat is from.

    2023 Season

    If its facilities is that the same issue for Regina and WC who also have to play at neutral sites? Why not put all the games at a neutral? With the way things shake out the regular season means little.

    The state did no favors for NFV and seemed to favor some teams who played an week schedule.

    2023 Season

    The computer system did not do its job and need some tweeking. It was too volatile at the end of the season, with too many teams propped up by weak schedules. The first round at state may see some lopsided games.

    2023 Season

    I don't know if I see much movement in the top 16. I don't know if West Branch would move much with one loss. Regina having a difficult tourney this weekend probably doesn't move the much. WColumbus may move into 8th but I don't see anyone else falling out.

    2023 Season

    Will the state stay true to seeding the top 16? Will 1-8 be #1 and 9-16 be #2? How can a team who has played no games be ranked in the top 16? (Looking at Mo Valley)

    2023 Season

    How close to the rankings will they be? The rankings seem to favor the west side not sure how they will stick to geography. West Branch seems to be inflated. They really don't have a quality win with a team from the power index. When the do play a quality team the sub state may be set.

    Ranking System

    Interesting idea. Would allow teams who play in a tough area to get some life.

    2023 Season

    I think we know who has a good chance in our own area. The substate matchups will be interesting. Seems to be a larger group of 1a teams on the eastern side.

    2023 Schedules

    I think for the most part teams looked for rivals and teams in their area. Avoiding some really good teams. There are some teams who were looking for an easier opponent. It is interesting who people chose and didn't. For the most part teams predicted to make a deep run or historically make deep...
