SR was good at soccer for a hot minute, but that's passed. Heh. But they had a few good years.
Anyway, Howland makes the most sense. But if they're comfortable in their quasi-independent status then there's nothing you can do. They'd get the brakes beat off them in football, certainly if 2021 and 2022 are where they are as a program. SR, heh, would have running clocked them coming out of halftime and I'm not sure that's something they want to endure. And even worse, the Lakeview-Howland game could turn into some sort of annual brawl for 7th, and that'd be a really big hit to the pride.
Howland is better than BL as an option only for location and breadth of sports where they might actually compete. In terms of football, you'd just add another "W" to most teams schedules.
