Agreed, but this year (to me anyway) seems to fit how the trogs played out. 

We'll see how really good Naselle is in a few weeks.  They were about as good as Adna, Napavine, and South Bend last season.  They lost to us in the cross overs last year 21-0.  I was at that game and we were serously pumped up for that game.  Had we played down just a tad or the ball went one way vs. the other OR had Eaton stayed with the run the entire game vs. bailing from it early, it certainly could have been a different outcome. 

What am I getting at?  Adna, Napavine, Naselle or South Bend could have won the state title last year.  South Bend just happened to be the team that did it.  Point two; Naselle is better than they were last year along with Adna and MWP.  Pvine I'm  still a little confused about.  I think they will infact cruise to the Semi's to battle it out with either my Pirates, MWP or Naselle. 
Point 3; Colfax's dream teams graduated and essentially an entire new team is on the field.  There last years jv team is this years varsity almost across the board.  I still think the top four teams in the state reside in D4 with Colfax (I've already laid that case out) and W/P a very close 5 and 6 or one could lump them in the middle of the four somewhere.

No. As always, we need to be careful not to compare scores to judge how good a team is but more so compare match-ups.  That's a difficult thing to accomplish so we end up doing the former.  Regular season games as a variable should be excluded, especially the earlier games.  Later performances are better for comparing purposes.  South Bend played Colfax at about the same level as they did the 1A/2B North league games.

Remembering that

Adna vs. Naselle (crossover game) 21-0 (D4)
Adna vs. Napavine (first round) 44-35 (D4) 
South Bend vs. 1A/2B North team. 27-10
South Bend vs. Napavine (quarters) 16-7 (D4)
South Bend vs.  1A/2B North (semi's) 28-12 
South Bend vs. Colfax (Title) 28-8

Bottom line is all the D4 games last year in the playoffs could have gone either way.  They were great games to watch that weren't settled till late in the fourth where as the other west side games were fairly clear early on how they were going to pan out.  D4 is hands down the most competitive district in the state.
