When talking about one era with the next, I do believe that the talent level of some teams have dropped in the past couple years. I am more referring to district 9AA. A couple years ago when I played in it I know every teams had at least one started play at the next level and most played Division 1. Most teams had more than one pitcher go on to the next level.... Fairview, Marshall, Page, and Giles I think all had 2 pitchers play at the next level. However, now I doubt the number is nearly that good. If you look at the players going on to the next level it is down drastically from 2 years ago. I think this shows the talent level has dropped. Everyone is in the rebuilding stage and I think it will get back to that level soon, maybe.
