[DEVILOLOGIST]

With all due respect Devilologist, you can't have your cake an eat it to. You can't say how it is unfair and at the same time mention how Russell had them beat. If by your arguement it makes it sound as though it doesn't matter f they are playing down or not cause the best team will still win.

But, for the record, I agree with qhat you were getting at. It is unfair, and Mercer's title should forever have an asterisk. Russell was CLEARLY the bets 2A team in the state that seasona nd should have a state title to show for it.

Dude if you know me I have had cake, as many as I can eat, pie, pudding and lamb chops TOO. My point is this, if you look at the history

Class AA, Semi 2, Region 3, District 5
(1)Mercer County 10-0 5-0
(2)Newport 7-3 3-2
(3)Spencer County 6-4 3-2
(4)Lloyd Memorial 4-6 3-2

Now no matter what you say. adding 2 schools will make a difference if you stay in the old class system. Just a little stats to show the meaning of the point.. AND
