I am sure that most people understand how being in a lower class division can increase a teams overall record and margin of victory. Comparing teams in 3a to 4a is like comparing a minor league baseball team to the Phillies!
rustin is moving to 4A next year it said it in the daily local news. i think rustin and selinsgrove will meet this year in the state semifinal game. they both are really good this year.
The 3A vs. 4A debate shouldn’t apply when it comes to the top teams. Does anyone really believe 3A teams like Thomas Jefferson and Selinsgrove couldn’t compete with the best of 4A? Rustin seems to be knocking on that door. They look great, and seem to be building a top-notch program. But I think they have to at least get to a state title game to get the recognition. Here’s hoping they do.
thats true but i honestly think if this rustin team from this year was in AAAA i think they would of had a title shot that how good they are this year.
Rustin has a good team. Too bad they are in AAA because we will never know just how good Rustin is this year. Even if they win the AAA title people will say that they did it against weaker opponents!
