The Jackets are a class organization and there would be no stigma in playing them even though they are 3A. I think that the Jackets will be favored this next year if we play because of your excellant returning skill players and the graduation of 10 of our starting offensive players plus all of the down linemen on defense.
However, there are still some folks who are unhappy that the Jackets would not drive through Aledo to play a playoff game. Many arrived and sat in the rain 2+ hours early to get a seat in a venue too small for this game. This decision also cost each of our programs real money. Otherwise, 3A or 4A, it would be a great game.
