Ok, but compare this tournament to prior years.
In 2007 we had Courtney Vandersloot, Angie Bjorklund, Kristi Kingma, Ashley Corral, and a slew of other Division 1 players from the Spokane area that were all competing at the same time in the state tournament. That made for a really exciting week.
I know you made a point that Riverside is ranked among the top in the nation, but I truly believe that the top 3 teams in 2007 could probably beat them handedly. Even in the year after that- 2008 was a pretty strong year as well.
And though LC recently 3-peat at the 4A level and KW is the reigning state champs, they're not the same teams they were before. KW lost both Vandersloot and Moore, and though Huerta is certainly good and they have a solid starting five, I don't really think the team compares to the other KW teams in the past few years. The same could really be said about all the teams, I think.
I don't know, I guess we'll see in the upcoming days.
