SP is about to be the most untested 9-2 record in school history. Crest and Shelby were two good respective teams (albeit one 2a), Lincolnton will do well at 2a against other teams with their minimal depth and numbers, but SP is about to go through a Gaston County football gauntlet that resembles a 3 year old dance competition. Just show up, do half the steps and everybody will reward you with thunderous applause. It's not SPs fault. But, how far has GACO football fallen? It has been noted on an earlier thread that FV wouldn't be any good. I think EG is the 2nd class of the conference this year with HH, FV, NG and Ashbrook looking like 2-3 win teams this year (and getting those due to beating each other).
SP will walk backwards into the playoffs while winning the conference with ease. I think this has hindered them the last few years...having such a terrible conference. Around playoff round 2/3, when you face legitimate competition and actual defenses it seems we aren't as tough as we used to be for so long. I'm glad Crest, Lincolnton and Shelby are on the non conference schedule for sure (need those tough games). Not sure why in the world Q Foundation/W Charlotte or whoever is on there.
