Getting to be a bad habit

From The Sun's Pat O'Malley:

When is the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference going to have a football championship game, like the B Conference?

It's kind of ridiculous when you have tri-champions (2006) or co-champions in a six-team league, as will probably happen this season if No. 3-ranked Loyola (8-1, 4-1) defeats Calvert Hall (5-5, 2-4) in their 88th meeting on Thanksgiving.

The Dons would finish 5-1 in the conference and be co-champs with No. 10 Mount St. Joseph (6-4), which has already finished 5-1.

Had Gilman (4-5, 2-4) not defeated No. 9 McDonogh (6-4, 4-2), 21-14, in their 92nd meeting last week, there might have been another three-way championship with McDonogh joining the Gaels and Dons.

So, what is the A Conference brain trust waiting for: quadruple-champs before breaking down and holding a championship game? Why not make all six teams champions and be really politically correct?

You play all season for a chance to be a champion, and to have to share it? C'mon.
