The transfer portal is a thing in high school football, too, and it’s creating an unfortunate imbalance.
Playoffs can’t get here soon enough. And even those games will be mostly lopsided in the first round.
Ainsworth just qualified for state basketball finals in Class D1.
It's a city of about 1,600 (down from 2,250 in 1980).
In 2002 they had 177 kids in grades 10-12. This year it's 87 kids.
Next year they estimate 77.
A town of 1,600 with only one high school is class D1.
Pretty cool moment from week one of high school football.
Lincoln Northwest in their inaugural season scores the first touchdown in program history.
Dylan Kotik finds Genesis Springs (
@genesis_springs
) for the score -- coach loved it too.

Feels like in week one we should be easing into the beginning of high school football, and then you look at the schedule and you’re like “OK here we go right now!”

Which spring sport has the best championship setup (fans, excitement, location, action), and why is it Track and Field?
Ok, hard to compete with T&F at Burke.
But how about between the other 4?
It's Week 1!
There are a few extra-interesting match-ups this week, including some inner-city rivalries and some rematches of late-round playoff games from 2020.

Would be interesting to know what led to this? And if there are other towns/cities that have lost or gained 100 sophomores, juniors and seniors in 22 years.
