    It is tough because the gaps between the Divisions are usually greater than some like to think. Moses Brown on the boys side finally moved up when they could have done so last year (although note how Smithfield boys are getting to experience the D1 gap). EP and Johnston are back to discovering the gap as well between D3 and D2.

    RIIL probably waits a year too long in some cases as noted above, but those teams get their chances to rack up wins and maybe titles before taking their lumps. The real issue is RIIL is so money and insider driven you don't have will to create smaller 8-9 teams divisions and make the regular season more meaningful so only the top or 6 get in (and eliminate a round or two of playoffs).

    Instead RIIl defaults to the easy 3 division 15-16 teams where you generate more RIIL dollars but suffer through some blowouts and stat padding matches. The current D1 and D2 should be split into 3 divisions; they would be very competitive in terms of the gap between the bottom and the middle/upper tier. I wasn't a fan of the geo breakouts, but you could have 3 x 11 team Divisions with 10 league games and then allow 4-5 crossover non-league games. Have just the top 6 qualify with 3 v 6 and 4 v 5 play-in for the semi-final matches.

    D2 would be super competitive with the lower D1 and upper D2 teams. You'd have far less need for RIIL to mess around with moving up or down teams. You'd think the PCOA would prefer that in the best interests of student-athletes and fairness but..
    All great points. Most teams should relish the chance to play against the best, provided it is at least competitive. Having teams move up to get pounded does nothing for the winner or loser of those games. Scituate will be a good example of that this year as they will make playoffs-notably nobody has won more than three games since moving up in quite a few years.

    One of the other posters in regard to the Burrillville team mentioned that when they were "too good for a division they stay quiet". We had great rivalries with them over the past two years, but don't forget they were a losing team three years ago, and only came in third last year before catching some breaks in the playoffs. They have a huge drop-off this year, and it would have been smart to keep them down.

    Pilgrim will once again dominate in d2 as a result of the movement.

      Really weak team meaning the team that just arrived from D1? 9 goals against Tolgate with 6 different goalscorers according to Box score. Also, how is getting 3 goals against St Rays piling up points?

          Oh that's right, going winless in D1 means they must be a high quality team in D2. Coach should assess by the half regardless....up 3-0 with no threat, yet kids kept in to pile up points...not their fault, that is on the coach

            Go have a Twinkie coach. Try focusing on making your team better. Winless in D1 and going for winless in D2 and you're worried about what the score is in the second game of the season. Priceless.

              Tolgate coach is a pile of lard. So happy to not have to listen to her GD whining this year.

                true she is an obnoxious person...but, moses brown coach has notoriously let individual kids rack up big points in blowouts...might as well be an assistant to Johnston coach!!! lol

                  Sorry, I totally disagree. We had this argument last year and it seems your boner for MB hasn’t gone away. MB had 2 blowout wins last year. None of their scorers were even in the top 15-20 in the state. No one is saying anything about Tolman who has outscored opposition this year 31-1 in 3 games. Or said anything about any of the other blowouts so far. Obviously just a dislike of MB. Get over it.

                    All these blowouts show is that there needs to be another division added, and help end those routine lopsided blowouts at the top and bottom of our current divisions.

                      That’s true, but the comment about the MB coach “notoriously “ letting kids rack up points is completely wrong and untrue.

                        d1 should be 10-12 teams! Thats it! Each team plays a home and home against the others for 18 games. No moving up or down. The teams in d2 struggle when they move up so why bother. Let them enjoy their success in d2 instead of pushing them up to get beaten handily each week. This is a riil deal and they will never ever make the right decision. After all... Are they really for the players?

                          More league games and shorten the playoffs. Makes sense.

                            And do the same with each division moving downward

                                Mt Hope will be lucky to finish top 5 in the next few years.
