High School Football Playoffs (A respite from insanity)

Mates,
Here in Michigan the regular high school football season ended last Friday, and tomorrow night is the start of the playoffs.  There are 8 eleven-man divisions and 2 eight-man divisions.  The top 32 teams are seeded by points and region.  

Link to the various divisions and grids here: https://www.mhsaa.com/sports/football/stories/mhsaa-announces-2023-football-playoff-brackets-11-player-finals-schedule

Teams are given points for wins and get multiplier/more points if they play 'up' in divisions - meaning if you're, say, division 3 and you play a division 1 or 2 school you get bonus points for that game. 

I'm not the only coach on the board as I know at least Qmatic and Magnus coach, and I'd bet there's at least a few others.  

It is an exciting time of the year.  Win and advance.  Lose and you turn your equipment in on Monday.  And the two best teams of each division play at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Saturday (beat ohio!) and Sunday.  

I hope you get out to a game and root for your local team, your old high school, or maybe a U of M prospect or commit.   No Michigan game on Saturday, so you've got a little extra time to do so.  

Go Blue!
