Most do not have this kind of difference in size.  Just a way to pad the win column.  There are plenty of other schools Lumberton could have scheduled.  

It happens every year, move on.

Lumberton would get killed by plenty of schools with under 400 students. It's okay to play them. Kirbyville just happens to be really down. They would get killed by a school 15 miles up the road in Newton and they don't even have 300 kids. Just line up and play. I think Lumberton wins by 5 scores.

It wasn't Lumberton that scheduled this game, they just agreed to it. 

I'm guessing 5A Cleveland wishes they hadn't scheduled 3A Buna after they got spanked last week as well. Guess they were trying to pad the W column?

You are talking about 1 small school that could compete with the bigger ones.  If size doesn't matter why have classifications?

There are plenty of smaller schools that could beat larger schools. Do we have to list all of them? Lol

Again, this is a NON-DISTRICT game. Classification matters in district games. You wouldn't be saying this if Kirbyville had the talent that Newton has. Newton is playing Silsbee. There is a big difference in enrollment there. You gonna say anything about that game? No, because Newton has a great chance to win against ANY team in SETX regardless of classification. Also Newton is not the only example. WO-S beat Nederland and the enrollments between those two is noticeable. Someone made a post about Buna above. East Chambers can run with some bigger schools. You're arguement only applies for district games. It doesn't apply in non-district. Filling games isn't easy either. You take what you can get in non-district scheduling.
