Perhaps actually seeing some of them could have convinced you otherwise. I am not convinced of that. You had to know the circumstances involving JC the first few games. Hard to know about any of that stuff when your a 1,000 miles away.

I am not saying the JC could not have beaten Boyle or Bell late in the season, but they are two of the best coached teams in the state. JC is also very well coached but they would have been solid underdogs against either team. Beating a team to whom you lost by 42 points in the same season is a pretty steep mountain to climb.

BTW, my vantage point is only 750 miles away but I don't think my opinion would have changed if I had attended every game in person. Bell and Boyle were ready to play when the season started. Hopefully, Johnson Central will work hard in the off season and play to their potential from the get-go next season. I am planning to watch the Golden Eagles play in both the regional final and in the state 5A Championship game next December. :biggrin:
