No, it's not alarming to any of us. The 7A teams have a lot of respect for the 8A teams I think. Yeah, Friendship lost a lot, but I think most people would agree (from what I have heard today) that Clarkrange did not play up to their potential and Friendship is gonna be good again this year. They still have the Zimmerman girl and a Cook girl scored like 18 points. We may regard Clarkrange as the top dog, but our fans and players know that the other teams are not just gonna give them the region crown. Their is still alot of playing to do, you can't ever tell how things are gonna shake out. My guess is that Westmoreland will be really good again too even though they lost a lot of their players, if that's what you are getting at. We're not ALARMED (are we Celina, Monterey, Pickett, RBS?). We'll give it all we got against those regional opponents and see who is left standing. Friendship gave it their all last night, but I would think that they would agree that Clarkrange does have the most talent this year out of all the region teams (at least looking at things in the preseason), but that don't mean they'll win it!
