Sweetwater's non-region schedule effects

[thriller]

Will Milan and Huntingdon's stronger non-region schedule have any bearing on their performance in the playoffs compared to Sweetwater's relatively weak one? Is strength of schedule ever a factor? If this is a non-factor, what will make the difference? Give me your thoughts.

It probably will. You're right, Sweetwater hasn't played anyone.

It can be a factor, but I don't think it is a big one. I can think of several more that are more important! I don't see Milan's non-region schedule as being that much tougher, and Huntingtons region sched. is much weaker than Sweetwater's.

What will make the difference, here are a few things: Scouting, play calling, coaches, and most importantly Sweetwaters tallent, skill, and HEART! I also believe the east side of the bracket has the stronger teams. I think Tyner, Goodpasture, and Sweetwater would all come out on top if they were on that side.

With all that being said, this is high school football, and when you make it deep into the play-offs any team is capable of puting on a run in the play-offs, so you must overlook no one, and take then one at a time! Go cats! --

Does anyone else think that OSHS really wishes he/she was a H2O Wildcat?? I seriously wonder why they would not want to open their own threads and represent their own team. Just a question??? One game at a time boyz!!

good points, swildcat1967, about heart, play calling, scouting, etc, but don't you still think that teams whom have been in wars with other top ten teams, and won, have a decisive advantage?

[OSHSman]

Hmmm...Sweetwater sure looked like they owned OS in that close 16-7 game a couple weeks ago. They looked like they owned them when the refs gave them both games last year, too. My memory fails me sometimes, but I think OS won the '98, '99, and '00 games. I distinctly remember the 21-0 and 23-0 shutouts that OS put on Sweetwater in '99 and '00. I guess that's domination, huh?

good point zwick zwack,
