I can tell you this about the Breds, Coach Schulkens does not give a damn about his regular season record, his focus is about what his team accomplishes in the end.

The 1st game of the season that really matters.......game one of the district tourney.

 

Now that is some funny stuff. So if Coach Dawn and Coach Stull drop a couple 8-22 basketball seasons from now on and just say we don't care about the regular season just game one of district tourney I wonder how that would go over for the Bred faithful. Everyone cares about the regular season unless they aren't winning and then they are just preparing for post season

On paper I would agree, however when the games are played anything can happen. Plus with no seeding (until this year) sometimes the two best teams draw into the same half of the bracket and play right out of the gate, instead of being in opposite brackets.

 

Sometimes a team will sneak up on you also. I remember my senior year (1984), we were 17-4 going into the district tourney and didn't get the job done in district semi's against Bellevue and lost 5-3. To this day I still hear it from the guys I went to grade school with that played for Bellevue. :cry:

 

Bellevue had a very strong team back then...Tarvin, Mauser, Lindsey, Batsche.....I am assuming Tarvin got the win, he was one heckuva lefthander.

Admittedly a little biased, but I think you'd have to rank Ryle as one of your top two teams right now.
