Although it is fruitless to take any of these wild, borderline inane scenarios seriously, I can debunk one. Newton County is too big geographically for one high school. It would be a logistical nightmare. And as I’ve said time and again, small school athletics are cyclical—sometimes you’re good, other times, not so much.
Case in point: the Midwest Conference. I recall SN beating opponents 33-0, only to have lost by that same score a few years prior. Continuing with the MWC, former member Pioneer was not always the force it is now, as Frontier High School was the big deal in the early 1980s before their slide. Things are better in Chalmers now. North Newton also saw a lot of success years ago (although they were not really in the league at the time), but they had some really bad years, but look to be on the upswing. North White won state years ago, but couldn’t maintain it, but again, they’re hanging in there. Lastly, both Tri-County and West Central are both very similar to the Rebels by having both good and bad seasons. This affirms my point, they play for the unrequited love of the game and to represent their school.
Case closed.
Very true, but it doesn’t support his narrative.
