I don't know what premise you base that assumption on. You need to do a little fact checking:
1) EC is 9-0 against 3A competition the last three years, cumulative score of 293-159, average score of 33-18.
2) BH is 4A, not 3A.
3) EC has 4 predistrict games.
EC, until proven otherwise, would be the favorite in 3 of 4 of those games. BH due to raw numbers would be the exception. How on earth would you think EC couldn't hang with that schedule, after a 9-0 recent record vs. 3A. To say EC "needs to play 1A schools" is ludicrous. You must be someone with a axe to grind... Let's be realistic. :
PS: It's West Hardin, and Hull Daisetta.
Don't forget EC got that record with Thomas on the field. I am just saying who would wont to take a chance in playing someone with that many kids 4 times. Most kids get hurt when tired 4 games that tuff would not be wise. As far as a axe against EC your could not be further off And that grope of 1a schools would not be a soft schedule they all made the playoff last year.
Did you'll call him Tramain or god for those years? There were always 10 other players on the field with him.
