Willow Springs 16 - Father Tolton 43 (HALF)

[AC100]

And once again, we get people whining and bitching because their favorite average team that beat up on nobodies all year didn't win a state championship.

Let me pick the 8 best players in the state and then celebrate when I win a state title. So meaningful.

Quit bitching on here. You need to go to the state and they don't care.

The state title game wasn't played yesterday. It will be next Saturday night in Springfield. With the 8 best players in the state, Father T should have no problem. 🙂

The far better team won, no doubt. But to say Willow didn't play anybody, all year, is dead wrong. The private vs Public argument is old but it is very valid.

Especially when scholarships are given and parents do not pay a dime to attend the private schools. That is where the problem is in the private vs public debate.

Incarnate Word has won a state title for girls almost every year since 2010. That alone is proof of an advantage.

What would their record be if they played Vashon's schedule? Fr. Tolton's? New Madrid's?
My guess is the illusions of grandeur would have went away before Christmas.
That said, making the quarterfinals is not easy. Congrats to all involved.

Or Blair Oaks. Blair Oaks beat 2 of the final 4 Class 4 teams, 2 of the Final 4 Class 5 teams and 1 of the Final 4 class 6 teams.

Because they lost to Father Tolton.

By 3. The "best 8 players in the state" only beat the public school down the road by 3.
At some point, the best team just wins. It's how sports work.

 

[mgpantherman]

Yeah you really believe Toltan will beat Vashon?

My point exactly! Willow probably is the 5th seed in that district.
