This isn't a slight to Shelby Valley, but it has to be said. I would hope you are willing to conceive that the Shelby Valley team of the past 4 years, especially this year, has played against weaker 15th competition than 15th region champs before them.

For instance, lets say from the start of this decade back to the late 70s.

This is conceiveable, but it could be just as conceiveable that the talent level in the region is the same and Shelby Valley has just been that much better than that level.
