Not to nit pick but I would not hang my hat on a scrimmage for claiming quality play. The first scrimage of the season would be of little value in judging weather or not a team is "formidable". I would hope that the tie breakers would be pretty deep in region results before they would reward a team who played lesser competion so they could have a better record but I guess not based on your statement.
Lancaster does have some very good players and I would have to agree they should not be taken for granted, which it seems Clover did not do.
