DCA - My assumption is that you think because AM won their Lower State Championship game against Bamberg 7 - 1 then all the Lower State 1A teams (except AM) must be weak. Let's move that logic to a couple of other teams. Since CC defeated Buford by a score of 3 - 0, and GSSM defeated Buford by a score of 3 - 0, then CC and GSSM must be pretty even. And since CC has beaten all the other upstate 1A teams, (and AM - wait that causes circular logic - skip that part) and Bamberg beat GSSM, then all the upstate teams must be weak. I sense a flaw in the logic.
That's why we play the games!
