If you look on the first part of the OSAA release, it talks about how they want to let EVERY team in every other team sport into the playoffs. 0-14 soccer team? You're going to state!

OMG! no worst idea ever!! XC is one of the biggest team sport!! No other sport pushes each team member harder. One person actions effects everyone on the team!!

I do not believe anyone directly involved with the sport would ever be in favor of this.  I feel it is the OSAA wanting to save money.   Instead of looking at the fact that 5 teams in 6A leagues qualifying for state playoff in all other team sports (football, basketball, baseball, etc...) as an over expenditure they are just going to cut what they view as a lesser sport.<\/p>","date_added":"Sep 2nd 2010, 12:57am","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":[],"can_delete":false,"item_id":8552,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"members\/avatar\/3681.jpg","pb_title":"Eryn","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=183","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/Eryn.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1272"},"80669":{"pb_id":"4","pb_type":"members","likes":"0","parent_id":"0","pid":"80669","comment_id":"80669","member_id":"4","comment":"
