This game proves that a private school such as PA which can recruit players instead of having to confine themselves to the local school district for players can field the best team money can buy. It graphically displays, all private schools which can recruit, should be placed in the highest class for competition. I would like to see PA take on Bentonville or Fayetteville for example and see how they perform. They beat up on many rural small teams as if it is a great accomplishment. Malvern played their hearts out all season as a team and defeated equal class schools by significant numbers and proved their mettle. Coming into Saturday’s game they were out weighed, out recruited and placed in a class they should not have been required to face but they gave a great show for themselves and never quit until the final whistle. Again if PA is so confidant (cocky) as they are let them challenge the equal teams i.e. Bentonville or Fayetteville for a game and see if they can compete on an equal level for player size etc. vice beating up on smaller teams showing they are basically football bullies. In comparison where would a good team like ASU be if they faced LSU?
