Like I said, there are teams in 2A that can compete in 5A, but they wuold never make it to the top. I don't want to bash 2A football, but when you have 2,000 students as opposed to 600, there is a lot more to choose from and naturally you will find more, better athletes. That is not to say there aren't any athletes in 2A schools. It is just a numbers game, when you have more to choose from it makes things much easier. About Franklin, 2 years ago Franklin was nowhere, not even close to the team they were last year. They had a very good team. JCM was no question the best team in the state last year, talent wise. JCM had absolutely no discipline on their football team, and they still made it to semi-finals. Teams like this are hard to beat, you just can't find as many athletes at a smaller school, period.
