The playoff game does matter, even if you're going to drilled by Highlands the next week. It can be a program building win, regardless of the opponent the next week. To say that the game is meaningless takes too much away from the Dixie players who worked hard and played thier tails off. If Ashland wins this game, it would have the same impact on them.
That being said, yes they need to schedule harder teams, and yes whoever plays Highlands is going to get beat.

Good post.

You can't take away the value of this game for Dixie. They were well prepared, they executed, and they were the better team. Congrats to them, and I hope they play well at Highlands next week.
