I thought maybe there would be some better competition in that tournament… Nederland shouldn’t have any issues playing those teams.

My thought too, why is Nederland playing in this level of a tournament? That isn't getting them ready to play in district.

Yikes so the only 5A team they played they lost to but beat the 2A-4A's.  I get gaining some confidence and some wins but not sure that does a whole lot for you. Id probably skip that tournament next year.

I agree 100%, but some coaches put more stock into playing lower division teams every year, to build confidence(pad wins) then playing equal or higher division teams that actual make a team stronger...
