I saw Fleming this summer and Williams played at Rowan. Rowan beat Fleming and Menifee. Fleming beat Menifee. Menifee beat Ashland and Lee. Nearly all the games were competitive. I think Fleming will be competitive with Williams, without him would be difficult but they have some good young talent.
I don't think I could agree anymore with what you said. I am in the same position.
I find it laughable when I hear people say the little schools play a weak schedule. I play 6 District games where one team is twice the student population and the other two are three times as big. When did these big schools ever have to compete with schools three times their size?
I'll be at the Sweet Sixteen every year and I'll be rooting for any small school. I like an underdog.
