We want to think there is a big conspiracy theory to screw Belfry but that is not true.

Noone is "out to get" Belfry.

With that said, there is 100% certainty this cross-districting mess is the direct result of trying to get a different 3A Final other than Belfry vs. Central.

Let's face it... Central doesnt bring a ton of fans and seeing Belfry and Central play every year doesn't really help lure the walk up crowd.

KHSAA is all about the $$$$$

Agree. Cross-bracketing (which I still don't like), wouldn't be too bad, except I think the root of the problem is dumb districting. For example, why is Belfry in District 6, when it is nearly the eastern-most school in the state? All 1A and 2A school around are District 8. Why is there no consistency? Would one of the Fulton Co. teams ever be in District 3? I don't think so. Yes, school size weighs on districting, but geography should not.

If regions were relatively consistent (west, left central, right central, and east), then cross bracketing may not be as goofy. But the origin of this problem is poor districting. Thus we have Adair Co in Region 1 Casey Co. in Region 4, and being only 35 miles apart. It makes zero sense.
