Once again this same discussion comes up just in a different forum. I dont know how to make this any more clear. These games can be just as necessary as others. 2009 Paducah Tilghman 3a, was 4-6 going into the playoffs. They went all the way and won over the mighty Somerset Briarjumpers who were undefeated until that point. They did it convincinly I might add. Mayfield wasn't far from that in 1993. They lost 4 of their first 5 games and went on to win a state championship as well. Some of this can come from teams with injuries getting healthy at the right time. Some can come from teams playing tougher schedules than others. Some of this can come from finally putting the kids in the right places after tinkering with things after losses. Just look at it this way, if Frankfort played Mayfield's schedule this year, they would be probably 6-4 but they should do well in 1a.
