As did ours

2nd round of the playoffs

like a broken record

we played a team I've wanted them to play for years now , and never have , mostly because their in the opposite side of the state , and the only way we would have played them , was in the playoffs

a team , that over the last 10-15 years , has been ranked #1 in the state , off and on , a true definition of a power house

this year they weren't #1 , but still up there , and we finally got the draw in round 2 of the playoffs this year

I didn't think we would win , but !!!! , I did think we had a chance , a better chance then in years past anyways

but nope ,,,,,,,,,,,

we lost , 38 - 24 , so it wasn't a total ass kickin , but their defiantly at a different level then us

I usually put team sports in four categories

1 ) the schools that are just bad every year , those are the schools you always schedule for Homecoming

2 ) the the middle of the pack schools , usually always end up in the 4-5 to 6-3 range , but seldom make a run for the top spot , sometimes they sneak into the plaffoffs as an at large bid

3 ) teams that are usually always in that 6-3 to 8-1 range , usually always finish in first or second place in their district , make it to the playoffs , but seldom go any further

4 ) then there are the 6 to 10 teams that are just head and shoulders above the rest , those 6 to 10 teams are the ones that have any real chance at the
state championship

we always fall in the third category

as I mentioned before , we were predominantly a Junior lead class , and have several key players back for next year , so things look pretty good for next year as well
