All the teams that win 6a, 5a, 4a, have had no one playing both ways for several years.

That's a pretty broad statement. I have seen Bowling Green, St. Xavier, Boyle County and Lexington Catholic not only play players both ways but many start both ways. I am sure there are plenty more 4a, 5a, 6a teams that play good athletes both ways.
