Lets look at it like this: Caldwell and Cleveland both played Rudder and Shepard listed below are the final score of those games. Cleveland 25, Rudder 6 19 point victory Cleveland 55, Shepard 21 34 point victory Caldwell 42, Rudder 6 35 point victory Caldwell 69, Shepard 22 47 point victory Cleveland played 7-3 Bridge City and won, Bridge City was really untested had not won against any big opponents. Cleveland's district is not even close to what Caldwell had to contend with. Cleveland has not played a ranked team all season. Caldwell has played 3 that were ranked in the AP 3a top 10, not just in the setxsports.com top 10. I guess my point is Caldwell D, and Cleveland D are evenly match. The deference is Caldwell's offense has scored more against the same opponents. There it is in black and white.
