I would say your cupcake schedule did hurt you come playoff time. But if you are happy just to do well in districts, then just keep playing a schedule that gives your players a sense of being better than they are and exiting the playoffs early with an inflated record. Their record did not fool anybody who knows football last year!

I have expressed all along that I felt like our schedule had hurt us in preparation for the playoffs. We have yet to prove that we can beat any of the traditional powerhouses in 4A. My response which you quoted was in response to a comment from someone who continues to talk about our cupcake schedule and yet has never beat us. Chances are my son will walk off the football field for the last time sometime late this fall. When he does he will be part of the winningest class to ever come through our county. They could also leave as three time district champs. No, he will not leave with four rings like some Highland players but he will have made memories and learned lessons that will last a lifetime. We will play our schedule and yet again try to make a run in the playoffs. If our boys keep working hard and leave it all on the field...I will be just fine with that. I apologize to the Rock fans for these post on your thread! You guys have a great tradition and I expect you to get things headed in the right direction this year.
