Congrats to Lancaster for the blistering start! Ridge View, Blythewood, and Spring Valley will be the eye openers.
In 2005, with a favorable (ahem...weak) schedule to open the season, Westside started 8-0-1, outscoring our opponents 63-7. Then came Wren, Greenwood, and Hanna (11-0, 9-0, and 9-0 losses respectively).
Back then, in my naivety, I thought, "Man, if I have the most wins and the most goals in the state, I should be ranked." But the powers that be knew all too well that the true test of my team's mettle lay in its showings versus the 3 traditionally strongest teams in Region I. And I was outscored 29-0.
Hopefully Lancaster fares better against the meat of their region, and is prepared for the HUGE difference in talent come March 24th when they meet Ridge View.
