See that's just it, that's the whole point isn't it? You step up and play quality teams when you feel you are loaded and shy away during rebuilding years. The Mallard Creeks, Vances, Butlers of the state don't have or care for that luxury or mentality. They wouldn't have to schedule a meaningful non-conference game like Dillon, SC or GW-Danville,VA because they face quality teams every year in the toughest conferences in the state. Week in and week out except for maybe 2 games they are butting heads against some very good teams. True dynasties play anybody, anywhere, anytime like Independence did and like Dillon, Mallard Creek, Butler and Vance do. You want to be in the conversation step up and act like it. Mallard Creek was set to open their season with Dutch Fork a team that outscored their opponents 771 - 130 coming off of 2 state championships. During a rebuilding year as several MC fans have stated how young they are and they will be better next year. Until you step up and act statewide and nationally you will never get what you so desperately desire our respect. And it must be quite a whole in your life because you spend an abnormal amount of time on here trying to win us 4a people over. Thus delusions of grandeur- you and only you think you are so important, none of the rest of us think you matter. We respond because we are amused with your psychosis and are bored.
