I think they like being under the radar. So when they do make to State, it will be even sweeter. Just my opinion. Going from being ranked #51 to being ranked #10 just shows they are improving dramatically.
Also, what was the score of Richland Springs vs. High Island? 54-7 I believe. Union Hill beat them 56-6. Look at the numbers they held one of the top QB's in Texas to.
They are the most physical team I've seen this year. Even High Island coach, after playing Richland Springs this year, confirmed the same thing. He said they were the most physical team he has played.
I researched that Strawn game. There were 4 or 5 touchdowns called back on Union Hill, a fumble and a dropped touchdown pass. They seem to get better each week. Just look at the statistics. Also, they held High Island to basically NOTHING.
