Considering how tough the conference is that we play in it is very safe to say JK will have its fair share of tough opponents before the end of the season, we are in a conference where two teams have a very good chance of making it to the state championship, I don’t know of many other conferences in the state that can say that. JK is not on the level of Clinton and WRH and right now we can’t schedule like them. It would make zero sense to schedule games against teams that will likely make it to the 3rd 4th round this season. What benefit does JK receive from playing those games? I’ll answer that ... none. We lose the game and by the time conference starts we would have lost half of our starters all for what? To be able to say we are 1-4? The boys learn nothing from that. Neither school gains anything from that. Has JK played a schedule that prepares them for conference. I’ll go ahead and say yes. It’s much better for the team going into conference play close to full health having played against decent competition and learning how to win a few games versus going out and getting the life beat out of us for 5 weeks. Obviously we know the games are about to get tougher but at least this extremely young group has had a chance to get their feet wet instead of getting demolished 100-0 by WRH again to start season. JK is in a complete rebuild and I am glad we are scheduling the way we are.
