Thanks for making this 2A school grad feel dumb. I will go back to my cave and whimper.

Not every smaller school is 8 man. Also a few 8 man that shouldn't be.
Got to thinking back when I was in school, we were the smallest 2a in state. now my old high school is one of the smallest one A’s in state and their classes are bigger than mine
Dynamics and Mechanics are where the chaff is separated from the grain.
You took those in high school? Impressive. Do most large high school offer those? You have me rethinking if they do.
I went to the same high school as the boys but it was 3A then. We actually moved out of the West Des Moines district because the boys all needed math acceleration and their only solution was full grade acceleration because of scheduling down the road with their building that just has ninth graders. They needed more than one grade acceleration in math but not in every freaking subject. One thing about smaller schools is they are more flexible. My kids all doing online AP and college math classes in high school was probably good warmup for Covid online college classes.
Just because you say it’s substandard doesn’t mean it is. Good lord dude just let it go.
Yeah, because I mentioned online classes and you said that you wouldn’t be able to handle a weed out class at ISU with those. So when I said that many engineers take the basics at DMACC you said those aren’t weed outs. So why would a small town ISU student who has been at ISU for a year or two be different from a big school student who has been there the same time? You’re moving goal posts it seems.

Come on, if Peggy Whitson had gone to a bigger school than Mt. Ayr she wouldn’t have wasted so much of her life in space.
I wonder if it was all the small-town students going in engineering is what caused us to lose our AAU status
We received a different education In the broom closets with our classmates.
They had some very salty baseball teams before the group you mention. I played against a state runner up in '89 and they spent some of the '90s ranked in top 5 of 3A baseball. Sanders and Denny O. had some good battles when they were both at their peak, which may overlap with what you're referring to...the years run together. Your larger point still stands. They've definitely had their struggles.
I believe Turkey Valley is still one of if not the largest school district in the state geographically. It's amazing that their enrollment can be that small. It really speaks to how much smaller families are. I'm friends with a few of the guys off the '85 state championship baseball team. They were THE smallest 3A school and it was very much a David v. Goliath thing for them to play at, let alone win state.
