I agree that there are some bad programs. I do agree that it doesn't seem to be a statewide issue though. We consistently beat out of state teams. Fulton City seems to have to go out of state every year to get a win. Trinity seems to be doing well over the past few years against out of state competition. Fairview, Williamsburg and Raceland area all getting wins out of state. I think the real difference for most old timers is the speed of the game. Back in the day of the old school running game a good team ate up clock and a big game would see them scoring 28-35 points. Now we use a lot less time and a good day is 49-63 points. Of course with that kind of scoring there is going to be a lot bigger margins of victory. That is what is being missed.
