WIAA Board of Controls
The WIAA Board of Controls met on Wednesday and made a few changes to their sports. The most notable is that they will expand the state soccer tournament from 3 divisions to 4 divisions beginning next fall. That will cut four teams out of the Division 1 field which now only have 4 teams at state instead of 8. In football, they officially approved going back to a 9 game season after only playing 8 games this past year. They also adjusted the so called “mercy rule.” When a team goes up by 35 points the clock continues to run in the 2nd half but if a team got the margin below 35 it would stop. The new rule will keep the clock running in the 4th quarter even if a team cuts the deficit below 35.
