Big Daddy,
This is where I do disagree. So what your saying is that because clover will have to play 3 quality opponents, that will not make them better? I think playing better competition does make you better. Look at the region with Byrnes, Dorman, etc. Yes, it is the regular season (although VC games count, don't they?), but after beating each other up all year they are more prepared for the postseason. If I remember correctly, they had both dorman and Maulding in the upperstate final last year. which makes you a better team, playing great competition all the time or playing a relatively weak non-region? you answered it yourself. FM did poorly in the VC the year your daughter was a freshman then made a run. they were ready for playoff competition because of their non-region/tournament choices.
