Talking Massachusetts Statewide High School Football Playoffs on Thursday Night

by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

Join me Thursday night on High School Football America when I talk with former Fitchburg head football coach Ray Consenza about a proposal for a statewide playoff system in Massachusetts.

Consenza, who also served as the president of the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association, will discuss the plan that will be put to a vote of the entire Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association membership.

Two years ago, the membership voted 190-114 against a proposal that would have changed the current league structures, plus taken away Thanksgiving Day games, in order to create a statewide playoff system.  The new system will maintain the league structure and not touch the Turkey Day games.

Cosenza, who is Fitchburg's athletic director, retired at the end of the 2011 season with a lifetime record of 194-116-1 with three Super Bowl victories.

Click here to read the proposal on the MHSFCA's website.

by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

A proposal to create a statewide high school football playoff system will probably be voted upon by the entire membership of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association in October.

Thursday, the MIAA's Board of Directors voted 11-2 to place the plan before all of the schools during a late October meeting.

A date for that meeting will be announced in the near future.

Statewide Playoff Proposal Clears Another Hurdle

by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

A statewide playoffs system is one step clear to reality after the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association's Tournament Management Committee voted 10-4 in favor of the latest proposal crafted by the Massachusetts State Football Coaches Association.

The proposal now goes to the MIAA's board of directors on June 7th.  At that meeting, the board can do several things including pass it, defeat it or push it to a vote at the MIAA's annual meeting in March of 2013.

If approved, the two-year statewide trial will begin during the 2013 season.

Massachusetts Moving Closer...Again...to Statewide Football Playoffs

by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

March 12th will be a big day in Massachusetts high school football history.

That's the day that the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Football Committee will vote again on a new proposal that would create a statewide playoff system.  Two years ago, another statewide proposal was voted down 190-114 by the MIAA's member schools.

On Thursday, the MIAA Football Committee voted in favor of scheduling a meeting on March 12th at which time it will vote on whether to forward a new playoff proposal to the MIAA's Tournament Management Committee that has the power to implement.

The latest proposal that has been constructed by the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Association preserves the current league structure, which would have been scrapped under the 2010 plan, plus Thanksgiving Day games will not be touched.

Massachusetts and New Jersey are the only two states that don't conduct statewide football playoffs.
