Iowa High School Football

Missouri initially barred schools that were virtual only from having Fall sports. They just changed that today because the majority of the schools that are virtual only are in St Louis, KC and Springfield.

Fall sports are a go in Missouri, but I havent heard of any Illinois kids coming across the rive, but that may change now.

Private schools in Missouri used to have a 1.3 multiplier to raise them up in classes. Now we have gone to a history model of success to move the private schools up and down. If you win districts and state titles for a few years you start moving up classes. For example, Incarnate Word in a girls school that has won 5 out of the last 6 titles in class 4, they would move to 5 and so forth. Incarnate Word also plays a national schedule, and has had girls go to UConn. They are in my daughters former schools class. The school has 850 kids in the school and are limited to our district. IC can get kids from all over the state and other states as well. Last season, during cross country, my daughters team missed going to state by one point. The team that beat them was private and had a girl leave home schooling and join as a senior and she finished 12th in districts. She lived about 30 minutes from the school.

Private schools should be in their own association separate from public schools.

I'm sure this will ruffle feathers...
Who is the kid that would have been the QB this yr for Valley had this guy not came? Talk about drawing the short straw. If he's a senior what's stopping him from transfering? This late in the open enrollement game he probably can't but with covid and all that who knows what the rules are. Probably just making them all up as they go anyway.

Holy hell, man. That’s fuckin terrible. I’ve been around Iowa HS sports quite a while, I’ve never heard of a public school charging a fee for sports. The jesus joints all do, but...just...wow...

When in Rome, I guess...

Our HS is about $200.

Illinois makes if very hard to transfer. Coaches have been barred from coaching.

The Saint Paul Saints have been allowing 1,500 fans per game. Face covering is not required while seated.

Meanwhile for $50 you can have a cardboard cut-out of yourself put into a seat at Target Field for Twins home games.

The Mississippi Valley Conference has released its procedures for fall-sports spectator attendance.

Admission
Normal admission will be charged at each venue. Exact change is preferred. Some venues may have touchless payment options.

Attendance
Attendance and capacity limitations are determined by each MVC school for each sport, venue and/or event. Spectators are asked to refer to the 2020 Fall Spectator COVID-19 Guidelines for each school available on the conference website.

Note that schools will be finalizing plans over the next few days and uploading them to the conference website. Due to the nature of this pandemic, they could change. Check back frequently.

Concessions
May be offered at some venues based on guidelines set out by the Department of Education and the Department of Public Health.

Restrooms
Will be available.

Personal protective equipment
Masks are required at all MVC venues for all events for fall sports — football, girls’ swimming and diving, volleyball, cross country and boys’ golf.

Spectators are encouraged to bring their own hand sanitizer.

In addition
Spectators are asked to:

• Accept personal responsibility for following public health guidelines.

• Practice safe social distancing (limit group to single households).

• Be patient and use common sense.

• Abide by posted signage.

• Stay home if they show signs or symptoms or if they have been in contact with someone with a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days.

• Spectators not following guidelines may be asked to leave.

I'm from Coalville, not Fort Dodge, breh. But irregardless, your post does nothing to address the substance of my post. The public schools just gotta get better and stop being whiny little bitches about losing.

Public schools raid other public schools with the open enrollment scenerio.

Clear Lake poaches a ton out of Mason City.
Solon steals as well out of Iowa City.
Until they recently combined, my little hometown of Hampton appropriated FB players from CAL.
Iowa Falls did it for years to Alden. etc etc
Have money, will travel.
