Because there is always round 2. The MHSAA has to take into consideration not only the first round. Teams do advance you know. Based on your 15 - 20 miles to Ecorse Clinton would probably win out since that it closer overall compared to Blssfield then.

When you said little I thought that you meant 5 or so like in my Blissifield to Monroe example as well. 15 - 20 adds up quickly when doing this for so many teams.

Who ever goes east between Clinton & Blissfield would be facing ECORSE, not Monroe CC, so while Blissfield is closer to monroe than clinton by 5 miles, Clinton is 15-20 miles closer to Ecorse - the actual match-up.

So why would the distance to Monroe matter?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't run the official numbers, but Blissfield is closer to Monroe by around 5 or so miles compared to Clinton as well.

Snooze is working on maps of my "calpreps prediction" divisions...

But for those of you who have a grip on how the mhsaa uses driving distances in their decisions, I have a question...

D-6, you have a bunch of schools in the SE corner...Mi-Center, Grass Lake, Manchester, Clinton, Addison, Hudson, Blissfield, SMCC, Ecorse, Harper Woods, Adrian Madison...

If you are just looking at these 8 = Clinton, Addison, Hudson, Blissfield, SMCC, Ecorse, Harper Woods, Adrian Madison, then the questio becomes WHO goes with Harper Woods, Ecorse, and SMCC...will it be CLinton or Blissfield (clearly it's one of those 2). The way I see it, regardless of what Clinton does in their final game, the Blissfield/Clinton eastbound team will be matching up with Ecorse, and SMCC will play HWoods.

So I'm assuming that the state simply looks at the distance between Ecorse and Blissfield/CLinton, and the shorter drive goes there, right? Looking west,...
