What I mean is most states don't have sections that govern themselves, sometimes differently than other sections.
In most states I know, the "sections" are simply geographical separations used for playoff pairings so that you don't have teams criss-crossing the state to play tourney games. In some cases. a "section" is just one or two leagues per enrollment division (if there are any. Kentucky, for example, plays all one division, and Indiana used to do this also until the mid-90's).
Oregon has six enrollment-based divisions, no geographical sectioning at all. Especially ln the smaller divisions, sometimes a playoff game means 300 miles or more one-way. I don't know why they don't at least split the state playoffs geographically in half to cut down on the long trips, but I'm not in charge.
I believe the same is true in Washington. (Yes, I watch playoff games out-of-state if I can, at least in hoops. I knew about Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark long before most of the general public did. Watched Cooper Flagg dominate in Maine when he was a freshman, and so on...)
