I wouldn't consider 10 points to be much. Maybe a little more or a little less depending on how each team was playing. Either way, for a small mountain school, these last couple of seasons are something special. It's not often that teams from this region are even mentioned in the talk of the better teams in the state.

I'd consider a loss by 10 or more as not being very close.

There's a reason teams from that region aren't mentioned in the talks with the better teams though.....their track record in the state tournament speaks for itself. Until a 14th, 15th, or 16th region team wins a state title or consistently makes it to the state semi's or championship, you'll continue to see a lot of disrespect toward those programs and teams.
