I did not see Merrillville, Valpo, or Snider. I’m basing my opinion on the teams I saw in the south and the final score of the ship. Again this all my opinion but just judging the games based on speed of the game, skills I saw, etc. I think there were several 4A teams capable of winning 5A as well as a few 3A. We had Castle at NA early in the tournament, and I know Castle had been decimated by injury as well as losing their leading rusher early in the game at NA. Hats off to Castle for making it to the SS, but having seen Castle over the years that wasn’t one of their better clubs. Might have been interesting if half their starters weren’t standing in the SL in street clothes.
