[Stardust]

What Stardust said has nothing to do with Shelby Valley so people should not get so easily offended. Both football and basketball had very average years statewide. A lot of the so called "powers" had average years. This takes nothing away from what SV accomplished. A Sweet Sixteen trophy is not rewarded with an asterisk saying "Won by the Wildcats in weak overall year." What they accomplised is amazing. State champs are still state champs. Shelby Valley actually beat Betsy Layne 69-61 in the 15th regional final.

True :Thumbs: I have no opinion on SV, I've never seen them play. My comment was specific to the quality of the teams being more equal than in years past. The Superstars from this year were not quite as Super as we have seen in years past. But the overall quality of all the players was as good if not better than in any year. Thus, I think that makes SV's accomplisment even better. If they had the D1 ***** player, then I would have said "they should have won. Instead, there were no 5* players in the state, thus it was equal for all. SV was the best team, thus, they deserved the State Title.
