This is embarrassing as a student at northview that this is even being considered. Sports shouldn’t be made to where you are guaranteed to go deep into the playoffs every year. You should have to work for it and earn it. But I guess everything is becoming “everyone has to win” now.

Too bad they didn’t include all the sports such as track and cross country.But if it doesn’t have a “ball” in it’s name it seems like it just doesn’t count as a sport.Really sad! I a lot of ways these sports take more physical training and endurance than any ball sport out there.

I’m all for Northview breaking away because it really is unfair for our small school to have to potentially play against teams like Tate, which just sent one of their grads to the Atlanta Falcons in the 3rd round of the draft this year, or Pensacola High, which just won state. Still, as long as it doesn’t cost the school alot of money and Northview can play Alabama schools like Flomaton or Escambia High, I’m all for it. The only bad thing I can think of is that college recruiters might not take as much of an active interest in the new division, but then again, I don’t think they ever really did in the first place.

to m, it’s not about time, it’s way past time and now that the schools are standing up for themselves “oh yeah let’s take care of this problem………..when EW went to the state finals in the mid 90’s they played a private school who recruited on a REGULAR BASIS then when the season was over the students were sent back to the public schools. The FHSAA never enforces any rules only those that apply to the public schools…….I support the idea of our own independent league……if we say we’re going to stay with FHSAA why would they conduct themselves any differently????? as for this eagle/chief fan i say go our own way….

what is it with the chiefs fan they know so much about what Jay doesnt want to do? Jay is going to be in a rebuilding year this coming football season so we will just have to see how our guys pull together.Any school that fits the number of kids to play in class 2A should be there playing anyway.and not be able to protest the decision because they dont want to travel.

Read real close. It said 500 was an appoximate number. Some schools will opt out and others will be needed to make it go. Lets hope it is a go.
