I agree with that. Div 1, or Div 2 it doesn't really matter. They both play the greatest game on earth.

Ira won't make it out of the semi-finals

RS is a very, very good division II team. If they were in the west bracket of D-I, they would already be playing basketball.

This talk of one team would beat another team is all opinion and based on fantasy. The original post was posing the question if RS was the most dominant HS team in a 10 year span from sixman to 5A.
The flaw in this discussion is that it is comparing apples and oranges. It would be like comparing baseball leagues stats that use wood bats versus those that use metal bats. You cannot do it. Another example would be to compare arena football with the NFL. Can't be done.
Horn, your list is well thought out but misses the point. The word DOMINANT was thrown into this discussion at the beginning.
How is it a show of dominance to go from D1 To D2?
How is it a show of dominance to have mostly D2 and TAPP teams on your schedule?
I was not arguing that the state titles were not legitimate. Nor was I arguing that their wins were not legitimate.
I have a problem with people who base their argument on fiction and not real facts. If RS had beaten several D1 teams this year (or last year) the argument could be made.

You also had Ira and BC both losing this week in more than one thread and that didnt go so well. I think your really underestimating both these teams. One of these will get to meet Valley and really show Valley what a game is, something Valley really hasnt had this year. I hope Valley is ready to meet a top contender.... but I dont think Ira is looking at the semi's, they are focusing on BC. Valley should do the same focus on Meadow first becuse things dont always go as you plan them as this week showed you.

You said it, iamdamon1, I wonder how those cowards from RS got the UIL to move them to Division II?

A lot of people had Ira losing this week. A lot of people, including Granger had BC losing as well.

I'm not underestimating anyone. I am offering my opinion. But even still, my estimation of any given team is worthless.

I find it hilarious that you start wagging your finger at Valley about focusing on Meadow, when no one even brought them up. Classic Strawman argument.

Act of congress on Goobs part got them D2

I'll bet you're right!

IM NEVER WRONG............................lol

Damon, going from D1 to D2 isn't a show of dominance. I never implied that it was. Neither is it a show of weakness. It has no factor whatsoever. You used Celina as an example (which was a good one btw) and they went from 2A to 3A and dominated in both. RS went from the only 6man division to D2 and have dominated in both. Are you telling me that the order in which the teams played in the smaller division is the determining factor on whether a team is dominant? Several of Celinas titles were in 2A, should those not count? RS has dominated the division that they are in for 10 years. RS has dominated the division that the UIL put them in for 10 years. I guess I am not seeing your argument of what division they are in has to do with whether or not they have dominated their division.

Horn, I don't think we are disagreeing. I think we are talking parallel to each other.
I dispute the original post that RS is the most dominant HS team over the past 10 years.
It is a claim based not on fact but fantasy. It is no different than Strawn posting in their town that they are National Champs. It is a silly claim that has no facts behind it.
I hereby claim to be the best wrestler over the past 5 years. Just today I took my son down and pinned him in no time flat. So I must be the most dominant wrestler. Do you see the idiocy behind that?

Depends............... How good a wrestler is your son? How big a boy is he? Mine is 6'3" and 230. I haven't been able to take him for several years...........

Before our involvement with RS, the team we supported was 45ed by the 2002 RS team. We felt nothing but admiration for a great team and followed them to the semi-finals. I don't guess I understand the disrespect of a team that works very hard to be the best that they can be. I have a philosophy of life to remember yesterday, plan for tomorrow, but live for today.

I'm not seeing any disrespect.

There are a lot of us who choose not to worship at the throne of Richland Springs.

They have played the weakest schedule of any top 5 team in either division this year. Stating that fact, or ones similar, is not disrespecting RS.

They are a great team Thats hard to beat, each and every year...................end of story
