Excuse me but when you speak of the "great team" shouldn't that be the one that advanced? I sense the inference here is that the "great team" lost to a "mediocre (and lucky) team who then, by virtue of the inferred luck, "gave" the chance to advance to a lesser than "great team". If that is true, then did the same thing happen in the regional final last year to the team, who a few games before, beat the "lucky" team by a substantial margin(at the Montagne Center) only to lose to the "lucky" team in the final? HMMMMMMMMMM can't remember anyone postulating that theory at that time.
You're just too anxious to pin me down. I said, "A great team." I, by no means, believe Jasper and HJ aren't deserving because, well, they flat ot earned it. However, I do believe the best team is at home now due to their inconsistent play.
Ok- I understand your point but wouldn't the best team have, within its characteristics, the most consistency?
Would your conclusion then also mean that last year the best team also stayed home?
The best in this context are the ones with the most potential, but that's nothing if you don't play. I just don't like the fact that Jasper put Silsbee out. I would've been satisfied if it were HJ, and had it been HJ you could make that connection, but you can't now. Despite how you feel about last year, the best team did win state.
