Since it's also mentioned here, virtually no one respects region 2 as well, especially Cincinnati and Cleveland. It's assumed you got a cakewalk and weren't all that good, which I find somewhat ironic as outside of one year of Olentangy Liberty getting crushed the region 2 champ has been extremely competitive the last 5-6 years in the state semifinals. Last year's state final, while I imagine Pick Central would be much more competitive in than game 9 times out of 10, left me feeling like Springfield could have won state.
Iggy even if they go 3-7 or 4-6 I wouldn't be surprised if they had some postseason success and wind up being a very tough out. Almost every week they are getting a week 12 or better opponent.
