[SWHS future]

I agree, Meece has a decent 7th grade team so it would be beneficial to play in the playoffs to give those kids more experience for next year. They aren't at the level of Northern or Johnson County but they were decent from what I saw.
My assessment on 8th grade: I think everyone agrees Southern is not very good this year so they are the number 3 team in the county. That's a given. Meece or Northern would steamroll them if they would have or when they play. Now a Northern vs Meece matchup would have been as good a football game as any seen in the state playoffs. I think Meece is the better team but just by a thread. It's unfortunate that this game will not be played this year or anytime in the near future. The only way we can remotely compare who is better is a common opponent. If Meece and New Harlan face each other in the playoffs, and Meece wins, then Meece gets the nod. If not it's Northern in my opinion. But, it will always be a debate.
