Valley played Knott(tough 14th team), Henry Clay(finished 5th in the brutal 11th region), NCC(one of your tough NKY teams), Henry County(#2 in region 8), Bardstown, Elliott, Perry(another tough 14th team), Raceland(consistently tough team), and then Elliott and Mason at state.

Outside of the state they played a defending state champ in Walton Georgia, American Heritage Florida, Lakeland Florida.

I don't see where you're getting Valley's weak schedule from.

The 14th region is a very weak region. No team in that region would come within 10 points of a top 5 team.

Let me put something in perspective for you:

Henry Clay wasn't a top 5 11th region team.
NCC wasn't a top 5 9th region team.

Henry Co lost by 23 to Gallatin Co and 17 to Shelby Co...what do you think a legit top 15 or even top 20 team would have done to them?

Raceland didn't even make it past the first round of districts this past year and lost to Elliott Co by almost 40 points.

Elliott, Perry, and Mason Co were the only above average in state teams that SV played this past season.
