1a > 2a Change my mind

[RexKwonDo]

Class 1a is loaded with some very good teams. There are 5 -6 teams in 1a that could win 2a as well. Am I wrong?

Biggest question is WHY.  Its really about how many  players any given school can gather from other schools. MASE Is Great example, Its not so much size of school, more about how much talent any schools can draw in from nearby schools.  This goes all the way up but not as big a deal in the largest schools. Look at who played Oakland and had a good chance of beating them last season, CPA and Lipscomb, Those 2 are not very large schools, They just have kids from several different schools.

You  hit the nail on the head.

Im not sold on that, I think the top of 2A would give the top of 1A all they wanted this year.  With the exception of McKenzie, who is the favorite in 1A and would be the favorite in 2A.  Hampton, Tyner, Union City and Huntingdon would be great matchups vs Fayetteville, MASE, Trenton, Dresden.

[1983]

McKenzie, Trenton and Fayetteville may all be in 2A next season so it is not like we are talking major differences in enrollment.

Maybe in the West but I'm not so sure in the East. I think most of the better 2A teams would beat the top 1A schools in the East.

I agree with this. I feel like it has been like this for a few years now honestly.

There is no difference in McKenzie and Fayetteville far as talent goes (Fayetteville may even have  the edge there) Dresden is probably equal to Union City  and Peabody is improving and overcoming injuries. MASE is an unknown but probably more individual talent than all of them

Not wrong at all. It's been this way for years. Most coaches will tell you as well that some of the the best ones in the state are usually on the 1A level. It's much easier to be successful when you have tons of athletes running around like many schools on the 5 and 6A levels.
