Nfhs rules are 80 minutes. 40 minute halves. But the clock only stops for scores, timeouts, and official stoppages. It's much more like soccer timing. States can use one of 3 field diagrams. 40x80, 40x100 or 53.3x100. The field will be split into 20 yard "zones" and to get a first down you...

Not this specifically but that it was inevitable. PA approved it too and will start next spring.

Yeah. Unfortunately the reason is the huge push by the NFL. All NFL teams are helping subsidize local leagues around their markets. The NFL was a huge push to get flag football into the Olympics. NFL is trying anything to get 'football' out to the world and to women, and their hope is that flag...

And Geauga Lake Park had a water park first before the combination where they tried to turn it into a rollercoaster only park and moved all the water park stuff across the lake.

Geauga Lake needs to make a return. Had fond memories going there as a kid. But the combination with SeaWorld under Six Flags destroyed it. Cedar Fair took it over and tried to keep it around, but it eventually all closed almost a decade ago. Such a shame.

Just gotta know not to point them in the wrong direction.

Most northern states seem to put it in the spring while southern states are putting it in the fall. Georgia even mixed their boys football and girls flag football titles into the same event at Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Every school that goes to 8-man probably hopes it's temporary. That means they've grown a little as a school and gotten numbers up to be better in football. But jumping back and forth is a disaster. If you try to go back to 11-man you need to be certain it's for the next four years otherwise you...

PIAA sanctioned it. NYSPHSAA already did and had playoffs this spring. The NFL is a big proponent of it.

PIAA Class 6A is heavily weighted to the East. There's 89 teams in the state. 10 are in District 12 (Philadelphia), 30 in District 1 (Philly suburbs mostly), 22 in D3 (capital, Lancaster area) and 11 in D11 (Allentown / Reading area). That's 73 of 89 just in those 4 southeastern districts...

First, the WPIAL plan failed because D10 wouldn't release them from the D10 playoffs to play in the WPIAL playoffs. The WPIAL didn't want to keep them any longer if they couldn't play in the WPIAL playoffs. Secondly, I went back and showed you EVERY TIME they willingly scheduled a team outside...

You're asking 3A schools in PA to play a 6A team in one of their few non-district scheduled games? If they're lucky to have their rivals in their region? They're not a Steubenville. Just to humor you, here's the last non-region District 10 PA teams McDowell has played: 2025 Meadville 2024...

You finally beat me. I'm at 79 for Iowa.

They don't have a choice. Their league is three teams: McDowell, Erie, and Cathedral Prep. Where else do you expect them to schedule? The WPIAL and D10 schools are all scheduled up. Same issue with Section 6 in NY. So only MMAA in Buffalo and Ohio schools that aren't fixed to a conference...
