I think the cincinnati area gets zero props compared to the FLA, Cal, and TX teams. I remember 2 years ago Colrain made the defending Top A TX look like fools beatn them by more than 2 touchdowns.

I really dont think that they make kids better in california and florida. There are just some really big schools out there that dominate their area. Just cause they have college-like stadiums and super cool uniforms doesn't mean they are that much better. Lets see your wins!

I have always said that those schools in FL, CA, TX, are like Prep Schools, which are loaded with talent and that talent comes from all over the country. The kids that go to those schools are shipped in from all over the country (similar to Oak Hill Academy in basketball). For those schools, their games are all about showcasing the talent, not so much winning as a team. Don't get me wrong, if they did not win, then the kids would no longer come there. But when you are building dream teams every year, how can you not win.

I've used the argument about who's more impressive in college Basketball UK or a team like Butler. UK will draw the best talent in the country, so you could put anyone in to coach them and win or at least more so than taking a group of kids that hardly anyone knows about and turn that taleneted group into a Final Four contender is much more impressive.

Cincinnati schools are just so much larger than anything in KY that we are used to. It takes a St. X or Trinity to have the numbers to compare to them. But HHS has had their success against teams in Cincinnati that they have no business playing if you only looked at it from equitable size. But HHS has shown year end and year out that they will go to where a good game is at!

What story is more impressive - Trinity being ranked #4 in the country or HHS being ranked #10. Instead, we get the comments from the haters that only want to say that the Birds would get killed by teams from those other states. Well, maybe, but I sure am impressed that the Birds are getting love (and being from Campbell County, I hate them!!!!):biggrin:
