Reading Jenn's blog post yesterday about whether having ALL teams play in the sub state basketball is really a good thing for the teams and I couldn't agree more.
I understand that there is a chance that there could be a "Cinderella Story" in sub state, about some team with a lousy record, beating the odds and making it to the state tournament and so on and so forth, but come on!
The reality of this happening isn't likely. The top seeded teams are the top seeded teams for a good reason - they are good and they will dispatch the lesser team in the first half.
I realize it is only 1A, so bear with me, but take Quinter for example; the undefeated top-ranked boys team. They beat St. Francis 88-28 in regionals a week ago. It was 52-12 at halftime! They play Ness City tonight in sub state and I can only guess it will be much the same.
To agree with Jenn again, is it really worth it for these teams to spend the travel money only to be, basically, embarassed by another team that is in a completely different atmosphere?
