Anyone agree/disagree?

Maybe you can answer a question I asked in a thread a few days ago. McLean County has one of the most schizophrenic set of scores I have ever seen. Beat Owensbore, lose to Owensboro Catholic (who lost to Owensboro by 40), beat the stuffing out of Ohio County and the next night play a close one with Frederick Fraize. Also lost to Hancock County. Head scratcher when just looking at scores....

I noticed that. I've seen several teams have outcomes like this. I guess it's whoever comes and shows up.
