Team coming to us in the first round has a 3 hour bus ride.
What is the longest in your area?

We had to travel three hours once. We won. Had we lost that would have felt like a 6-hour ride.

Ouch. I hope you won. There wasn't any place you could have met half way? That happens occasionally here in Michigan when teams from Upper and Lower Peninsulas have to play. |

We were 8-1 in the regular season, but ended up the #3 seed due to a 3 way tie for first. We cross-bracketed (East 1 vs West 4, etc.). We wore white all through the state championship game... which we also won. |

3 hour 1 way bus ride to get running clocked in the semis in 2004 is the longest I can remember.
Our run was completely unexpected as we finished the year 7-2 and in 3rd in our conference so after a while the ride home was enjoyable as we all realized how well we'd done to get that far. Oddly enough, the 6-3 4th place team in the conference also made the semis on the other side of the bracket. It was a really strong conference back then.

blb I should add that we don't really meet at a neutral location here in ND... unless someone's field has been destroyed... which seems to happen often by October- especially when we get an early snow.
A few games in the quarterfinal and semifinal round were moved this year due to the host team having a bad field, but that's about the only time something like that will happen.

Not us but a team in our conference will be taking a 5-6 hour trip this friday to play, and another will be hosting a team making basically the same trip in the opposite direction.

Back in 1985 my HS team..I was an 8th grader that got to be a manager for the play-offs-
Round 1 256 miles 4 hours+
Round 2 258 miles 3 hours 50 min.
Round 3 321 miles 4 hours 50 min.
State Championship- 135 miles- Lost temps were in the single digits, I burned my hands when I spilled hot chocolate on myself at halftime and didn't know it until an hour after the game. Fun year.

After a quick glance through this year's brackets...Benzie Central to Menominee, 6 hours around Lake Michigan...have to wonder if it would be faster to take the ferry?! There were a couple other 3.5-4 hour drives between UP and LP teams too |

Man I thought we had it bad. We’re sitting at 3 hours this week, almost matching my previous longest at 3:15.
