would the top team in 3A be a top 10 team in 4A?

Use last years teams as the example? interested in what you think.
 
hard to know. Last year's Pella team was very good and I think that they could compete but not win state. I could see them be like Johnston - a solid team a FG away from going to the semis
 
On average I think the state champ in 3A could be in 4A top ten. Once in a while maybe the top 2 3A teas, Also once in a while you might have a state champ 3A that could give the 4A state champ a serious challenge. (Pella 2 years ago). As I have said in other posts, I think it comes down to the lines. On average the 4A teams have many more athletic HEAVIES. It takes a special class or two in 3A to put that together and it would only be a year.

West Delawares line last year could have competed well in 4A . Had a 290Lb tackle that played both ways at LB.
 
In one game scenarios some smaller schools could compete with the top teams in 4A. Playing a 4A schedule would be where they would struggle.
 
ok however 1 or 2 of the smaller 4A schools seem to do good, isn't L Central one of the smallest 4A schools? they are probably close to 3A in BEDS. However they may be the exception

your statement does make sense.
 
Is it the time of the year where we talk about whether 3A schools would do well in 4A? I guess I didn't look at my calendar. What does it really matter?
 
just trying to get some people engaged since the board is dead. Maybe put something on your calendar as a reminder for YOU to start a topic of interest. It looks like you have been a member since 2005 surely you can add something positive to keep this dying board alive? Waiting for a topic Big D,
 
Yes. Pella and Xavier for sure could contend in 4A. Wouldn't be able to beat Valley or Dowling, but could give the rest a tussle.

Is this where I can say Xavier should be in 4A and it's a crime that all the other 3A schools have to play them? ;)
