A team that does not make it to state can have some capable players on the roster..I am not talking half the team..I would imagine also that there might be some beat up teams right now after league play and could use some help with injuries..If you have a chance to pad your squad for state..why would you not do that? If the game goes your way then don't play them..Not many have mutiple teams so it's probably just an advantage for larger clubs..Strength in numbers!!
