One thing hard to wrap your mind around is why so many of these teams are so bad this season! Unusual year for some of these teams to be so down. I watch KHSAA page and find it really strange the teams that should be good that just flat aren't! Several ways to look at a schedule like this, hopefully not getting killed every game early on, a team will be healthy and if they can stay healthy they can continue to execute well during these games & learn something beneficial they can apply during certain situations as it goes along & be able to beat a good team when the time comes. Just have to see how it plays out come playoff time. I think North is playing one game at a time which is a good thing. :Thumbs:

I can agree with some of your points. Confidence is a huge factor, and winning breeds confidence. It's also difficult to determine just exactly how good some teams are from year to year, and this effects your strenght of schedule dramatically. As I have stated in other posts, there's an art to scheduling. I am a firm believer that if your program has reached the level of being competitive in the post season and expectations are to go deep in the playoffs, you have to play a schedule that will prepare you for it. When you are building a program you obviously have no business playing a killer schedule, but if you are a playoff contender then schedule like one.
