Rivalry between teams is good however it can be carried to far. When talented players won't play on the same team because of the rivalry it's gone to far. What kind of national team would we have if professional players thought that way. Both teams have had successful programs, a combined team would make a highly competitive team at the state level. With the new state challenge league and interstate play only the best teams will compete at this higher level of play. Players who want the highest level of competition need to seek teams that will compete at this level.
