Go to Post If I can make one wish, it would be having Dean and Woodie read one of these writings of mine, so I can tell them "I get it! Give me time and give me inspiration, and one day I will be ready to take over the torch." - Ken Leung [more]

Re: Sacrificing a State Championship for the Cause???

As soon as you put teams in divisions based on performance and many other aspects, you lose the sole purpose of FIRST, insperation. Every team will then play the no holds bar, win at all cost, game. The lesser teams will not have an example to aspire to because they will have no direct contact with the AAAAA teams. Using the division system like this would be a terrible idea. This is in no way what ths thread is about though, so I digress.
On the topic at hand, if I were hot I think I would have declined. What would be better for them: another state trophy or knowing that they can topple, arguably, the most likly canidate for a championship win? Easy choice.
