Was that the score from Manchester/Fairfield game that AFJ posted? Regardless of the outcome congrats to Travis Combs for getting in to the 1000 point club last evening.

SHL is down compared to what it has been. It just don't have the stand out teams that they've had the past couple of years. Peebles is the closest to being that team this year. But the SHL was much stronger when it consisted of Unger(NA), Justice(PHS), Seaman(PHS), Blevens(MHS), Cox(FHS), Michaels(WHS), Countryman(PHS), Taul Williams and Washington(RHS), Jimison(NA), Bennington Price Staggs Stapleton Cox(WHS), Older Sparks(NA), Arnold(PHS), Knabb(EHS), Quinlin(MHS) and so on. The SHL has lost a lot of good talent from most teams in the league and IMO isn't as talented overall

[theuglytruth]

the SHL was in no question best from 96-2006, the talent level in that 10 years span was very impressive. IMO

[jimmy chipwood]

If you reread my post I was referring to the quality depth of the league. There are 8 quality teams in the SHL this year - maybe the most of any year.

Clear improvement from last year = LC, NA, Fayetteville, EB.

Slight Drop/Pretty close to last year = Peebles, Manchester, Fairfield.

Same Quality = Ripley, West Union, Whiteoak.

The quality of the teams is what I'm disagreeing with! Is the league more equally competitive? Possibly. That's due to The quality of the teams being down which therefore gives teams normally getting blown out by the better teams a chance to compete with them. As I said before there really isn't the dominate standout team. Also from 96-2006 was good talent but I wouldn't take away from the years after that with the Unger, Justice era.. And NA making a regional appearance while peebles competed with them strongly. Peebles also losing in heartbreakers in districts. Just my opinion
