I think you would change your mind if you saw Cuero play. #1 in 3A? You could debate that. There are some good teams out there. But they are not imposters. They are a good team. I would probably agree with the scout who said there are no Div 1 players on their team. How many D1 players are there at the 3A level. 4? 5? I know of 3. (Brooks from Taylor-UH; Wacha, Pleasant Grove and Miller, Brownwood-A&M)
But Cuero has at least 5 (one of them a junior who likely will choose a football scholarship over baseball) and possibly two more who will be playing college ball somewhere. That is a good 3a team.
You could be right about any 21-3A team making the playoffs in 28-3A. There are no other teams to challenge Cuero in that district. But Cuero is 14-1 and hasn't played a district game yet. They are 3-0 vs. 4A, won the New Braunfels Canyon (4A) Tournament, and gave a private school John Paul II, their first loss of the season.
I have seen them play and they are the real deal.
