That’s my question. How are all the other teams awful year in and year out 

I honestly don't know. Their baseball program is probably better than their football program.

Most folks don’t know that Coalfield is a 3A school playing in 1A. They win locally, but they lose as bad as they win locally when playing outside the area they play in. Coaches are on par with other coaches in the area, just the talent level one wound expect from a 3A pool. I hope this clears things up for those outside the region.

How exactly does that work?

How they lose when playing outside the area?  Easy, they are not as good as the other team they are playing.

No how are they a 3A school? Are you saying kids Oz, Wartburg, OR, etc?

No I’m saying a 3A pool. That’s roughly 550 to 600 on average. I didn’t say OZ, Wartburg, OR, etc. u did. If the shoe fits wear it.

Last I checked Coafield is less than 160 enrollment. I don't see how that gets you to 3A.

Personally I think a lot of their success comes from their feeder program. I think they do benefit from picking up a kid or two here and there from local schools but that still doesn't get you anywhere close to a 3A quality team.

Agreed. If they really were a 3A quality team, they wouldn’t lose to outside competition from regions 3/4 and so on

Explain please 

[Weatherman]

Easily explained. I will try once more. CF dips into a 3A pool. That doesn’t mean they get the best talent from dipping into that pool. It simply means they have that ability to do so. 500 kids vs. 150 kids, u are gonna find some talent that you won’t at 150. 3A pool means 3A school, not in enrollment numbers but in the talent u can find. Why do they lose to 1A programs? Those schools are dipping into another pool in their area, getting better talent and better coaching for sure.  It all makes sense now.
