If I recall, Boyle was a buzz saw throughout the whole regular season and early in the playoffs last year, but, then got soundly beaten and shutout by a team that according to most Rebel fans prior to the game, had no business on the same field.. I like Boyle's team and think they're very well coached and execute on both sides of the ball, but, they aren't, by any means, unbeatable.. Male, Trinity likely beat them by double digits strictly on talent alone.. FD and CC could beat them more times than not and JCentral, Scott Co, St X, Manual and 4 or 5 others could compete toe to toe with them everyday of the week. No disrespect meant, but, they should cool there jets a little. It came back to bite them last year and could very well again this year.

This! 100 times this!! Some seem to have short term memory loss on here. But it was these same conversations last year. Boyle is a great team! They were last year. They just weren’t the best. But I specifically remember someone on here saying they could compete with trinity last year and beat them a couple times in a series haha. But you’re right, the talent difference alone, would decide that game. I’ll give boule credit they are a great team this year, not the best in the state but maybe/probably the best in their class. But to act like they’re IMG academy is laughable at best. I’ll also say after talking to most if not close to 90% of their fans realize this and are ok with it. They are the ones you can have a reasonable convo with, and I generally like hearing their thoughts. It’s not bad to have confidence and pride in your team, but making claims that they are the best team and yada yada yada just makes individuals look like jackass’s outside of their own bubble they live in. I know of at least 5-8 teams right off the top of my head that could beat Boyle on any given night. That’s not a shot, it’s the truth. Heck I know of 40 teams that could beat us on a given night haha. Boyle probably is better than last year, and they might win it all, in 4A. But there are several teams that could put up as many as they wanted on them as well. Sometimes you have to be grounded back to earth, it happened last year to them, and most of the fans took it for what it was. Most importantly I tbink the players took it for what is was and will use that this year to their advantage by keeping focused.
