Only loss to N. Crowley. Didn’t get blown like others. Spalding should be in there as well. Quote

Who cares whether your opponents are local or on the other side of the country as long as they are good. Quote

Made them the #1 Public Program in America in 2024!!! Quote

My point is that it doesn’t matter where AHP is located. What matters is that AHP is good. It would have helped Milton just as much, if not more, to play another top team in Georgia that is actually ranked higher than AHP. The fact that they travelled across a state line means little.

Not true as I personally speak with many of the top pollsters in America. At least one win vs an elite, OOS team is required for a MNC or Top 3-5 team nationally. Go back 5+ seasons and see for yourself. Quote

You can't tell me that is better to play an average team in a different state instead of a great team in your own backyard. I fail the see the relevance of where a team is located. All that matters is how good they are. I would agree, that if an elite team is unable to find quality local games, then they have no choice but to travel a greater distance. This is the unfortunate situation that MD is in. We are forced to play OOS to fill our schedule, but we would rather not. Case in point, it is better for MD to play teams like Centennial, Mission, etc versus whoever they can get from a different state. Unless the teams from the different state are actually better. That is my point. Quote

That is my point. MD won the MNC this season mainly due to it's wins vs BG and SFA. If they had scheduled and beat local teams like Esperanza and Warren instead of those elites, Milton probably finishes #1 in a few polls. Quote

They can think that. I would rather play better local team than waste our budget to play some team in a different state that is not as good. Perhaps opinion pollsters are impressed that a team steps on a plane. But I would think that a computer considers wins against teams like Cen10 and Bosco as better. Quote

I'm not talking about crappy local teams and you know that. Every team that MD played except Servite was in the top 50 composite poll. It wasn't just those 2 games. It was the complete schedule. Playing Bosco helped our ranking in computers more than SFA. I agree that Gorman was the best win BY FAR. Quote

Your own coaches agree that SFA was the best team MD played this season. I'm excited to celebrate with all of them at your banquet on Saturday at 11am!! 1 Quote

Yes, I know OLu played on the road the very next week after a tough game. They still got blown out. All of those top teams played great schedules and earned their rankings. Quote

Crowley ranked ahead of teams like SFA and IMG in your poll? They didn’t play one single OOS team. I’m confused here? Quote

In that respect NCs ceiling was #5 in our poll, which they attained. They had ABSOLUTELY NO SHOT of winning a MNC in this respect. Quote
