Tell us your thoughts.

Not in this sport.

Nope, not in Football.

Put DeLasalle (CA) against a bad D3 team and yes it could happen. But it is highly unlikely in 99% of the cases.

Didn't Ashland beat Marshall at the beginning of their program?

It could never happen football this day and time.

I voted no, although just like Mountain Thunder said, put a high school super power up against a D3 college start-up team, and an upset wouldn't be too crazy.

IMO, a couple of excellent highschool teams could beat below average DII's and DIII's. That's not saying that they could beat the average in those categories though.

I think the powerhouse teams (Colrain 2 yrs ago) would walk over a lot of teams.

I said yes, because I believe anything is possible. Now, probable is another vote!

If we ALL come back down to earth and look at this rationally, we can all say, "most likely not!" IF,IF,IF can lead to alot of ridiculous scenarios where this and that can happen and yes, Superman could have squeezed a lump of coal and created a diamond! Regardless, take a DII or DIII team that has played for more than a season and you have "men" across the roster. That alone makes a huge difference. Now take the fact that even most DII & DIII teams are a collection of some of the better talent off of high school rosters across a broad recruiting area. It is here that I think you can find your answer. It is not likely that a high school level team would field enough talent that physically could beat 11 college aged men on either side of the ball. IMHO!

I don't know about alot of teams but the Colerain team of two years ago could probably beat an upstart team. I am just going by how many Division 1 players that team had.

Everything you say is true. However, the word "can" is open to possibility.

I played against DeLaSalle in high school. My high school team beat them in 1987. I then played at Centre College. My high school teams (and the DeLaSalle teams) would have had great difficulty beating the Centre teams I played on, and we weren't that great at Centre.

NO.
