PABorn Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 I would have to say over all that size does matter. There are speacial circumstances of course, but when you have more to choose from the results usually turn out better. Alpha Wolf 1 Quote

ctown81 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 I'll put it this way. Both those schools would beat the crap out of Carthage. Even if we had the team from last year. The same would happen to Newton. jimmyw 1 Quote

Bandwagon Ranger, is there still talk in Baytown of combining Sterling (2,415), GCM (2,169) and Lee (1,553)? If that would have happened prior to this most recent realignment, that would have given you all an enrollment of 6,137.  BlackShirts5 1 Quote

Never said they'd be scared to try. Just like I'm sure neither Allen or Plano would be scared to play UT. Or UT wouldn't be afraid to play the Texans. Would all be a similar result, though. To the topic at hand. If size didn't matter then why are schools all of the sudden successful if they drop in class..or all of the sudden average if they go up in class. Size absolutely matters. It's not the only thing though. For instance.. Baytown could combine all of their schools and I doubt they'd be on the same level as Allen. There are other factors especially when talking about North Dallas schools. Alpha Wolf 1 Quote

Austin1985 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 I will say no. Allen is Allen but the Plano schools and the Alief schools are top ten largest and most seasons are mediocre. You can only play 11 at a time but I wouldn't leave Allen for Barbra's Hill...... BlackShirts5 1 Quote

I don't think anyone from those small schools actually believe that nor do they want to try to compete year end and year out with them. But, I do believe Newton's team this year can compete with almost any school. Carthage, I believe last year had a great team and 2 years ago WOS did. I believe Max Preps has Newton ranked pretty high in the nation in all schools regardless of size. Unless, we should disregard what Max Preps  thinks. Currently Newton is ranked  20th by Max Preps in the state. After the State Championship games have been played, I think they will move up considerably. Not insinuating they could beat the top 5, in 5A or 6A but, I do believe they could beat many of them. And play very respectful with most of them. This year. Same as WOS, could have 2 years ago.

They have 20 times more kids to find players from. you might as well combine all the 3A D2 schools in Region III and get a team from that group. Quote
CardinalBacker Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 I like the way Newton could beat anybody, anywhere.... until they lose a game and it’s because they had to ride school buses to Dallas, or some other whack-a excuse. Quote
