IHSA to Consider "Multipliers" for Private Schools

Eight championships???? We only have 6 classes! Now, I'll be the first to admit that this private school dominance happens often in football here in Nebraska, but it's hard to argue that in the other sports. Volleyball might be one, but still....it's a tough sell in this state.

You're right. I must have had eight man football on the brain to come up with eight classes. 5 of 6 championships were Catholic schools with the 6th class having a Catholic school lose in the semi final. There I got it right.

Frankly, I think that the 11 man Catholic schools will be competitive no matter what when they are in the larger cities and towns and the only difference this multiplier will make is in the smaller 11 man communities or if an eight man team gets bumped up to 11 man.
