So you are saying that you have never seen a team beat another team with a tougher schedule. I can point to about 100 examples of it just this season. I think we can all agree that Highlands is just flat out better then Ashland. Now what if Highlands were to play Ashland when all the teams they had before Ashland were youth league teams. Do you think Highlands would still beat Ashland? I think they would and probably just as bad.

Way to take what I said totally out of context. If you take two teams of completely different skill levels then it schedules wouldn't matter. What I said is when a team plays nothing but inferior teams all season the speed of the game can be shocking when they have to face a team with as much or more talent then them. Owensboro Catholic, Bardstown and Russell County are all good examples this week. Beating up on your JVs and a bunch of 2-8 teams does not prepare you for the speed of the game against a good team. Sure, if you are still 3 TDs better than the other team it might not matter but in an even match it can be all the difference.
