@Iceman asked yesterday what could be done to make for better match ups given the number of schools and huge distances across this state. I got to thinking and maybe a hybrid of the old way where finals were at different neutral sites and the current way could be something to consider.
Once you get to the semifinals, seed the remaining four teams in each class-division 1-4. One plays four, two plays three as usual and find a spot half ass in between the schools for the semi final games. All the final games still played at Jerry World.
It probably wouldn't change a whole lot of match ups, but maybe just enough to make things more even in the finals instead of the semi finals.
Just a quick look at the 2x 6A divisions would have given something like Allen vs Lake Travis and Duncanville vs North Shore in one set of semi-finals. Div II would have had South Lake Carroll vs Vandergrift and DeSoto vs C.E. King for their semis.
Assuming chalk, then Jerry World would have Allen vs Duncanville for the state championship instead of the 800th rendition of Duncanville vs. North Shore. Div II would have had SLC vs DeSoto in the finals. Imagine that semi final game was in Jerry World instead of Mansfield.
