Didn’t take long before we would see spinners on the message board. Point values for placement – are you serious? The worst is that now some folks are claiming that winning state cups was not or is not a goal or mission of the club. That is a nice attempt at a soft landing. You won’t here any excuses or spinning from CESA when they don’t win.

Up until this weekend, the sky was falling on CESA, as some were claiming that the “gap” was closing. You can try and qualify the results until you find a way to rationalize them or to make the difference seem closer, but at the end of the day, there is only one way to look at them. Sure, we can look at Premier League results, Regionals, and College Signings. I think you would find the same answer. But, let’s just look at state cup, which seems to be the best opportunity for head to head comparison:

How does law of averages fit in here?
