And just so everyone knows, the NSAA tried this year to do the bottom half play "like teams" and the top half play "like teams" in Class A. That's why Lincoln Southwest is sitting at 2-4 but beat 4- 2 Lincoln Northeast 35-13. Lincoln Southeast is in a similar boat, sitting 3-3 but Lincoln High is 4-2 due to playing lesser competition, the Knights rolled Lincoln High 57-0.
As
@alt f4 stated, the problem is really open districts. We had a media member go on a radio show claiming that Millard South really didn't have that many transfers, all those kids played in the Jr Patriots program. While they had kids from Kansas City and Grand Island on their team, he's mostly correct. All these kids played with each other from grade school up living everywhere in the city and in some instances in Lincoln or Kansas City.
I just feel like closing the borders gets rid of a lot of problems. You can build schools where they are needed based on population. If a kid thinks he's getting a better education at another school, isn't it up to OPS/MPS/Gretna etc. to get all schools on par? I think the larger issue at play will be even if OPS and Millard decide to close their borders, it all of a sudden makes Bellevue West the popular choice to make a superteam because kids can transfer there. It would basically have to be the NSAA saying you can't play where you don't live, and they'll never do that. As long as the public schools have open enrollment, there's really nothing that can be done IMO.
