True.  My point was that the Catholic league schools downstate have to compete a lot harder for top players because of the number of schools. Iona hardly has a monopoly on them. 

 

I watch the games. This game wasn't great HS football.

 

Have you ever watched C football in New York?

 

That's not great high School football 

 

Iona has a kid going to North Carolina there's literally 150 New York schools who don't have one player of that caliber 

 

You're comparing it to Texas ball or big time Pennsylvania ball or Georgia football yeah it's not that level 

 

New York at that level is still better than 20 States

it would make no sense to compare any top NY high school team to 150 other NY schools. The topic here is the game pitting the top 2 Catholic schools. 
 

the fact that Iona has a kid headed to NC doesn’t mean the quality of the game was better. But yes comparing to Texas or Georgia etc is what I was getting at.  It’s not at that high school level…

Of course it's not at the Texas or Georgia level 

 

But I wouldn't say it's bad football...

 

I still scout HS ball in the mid Atlantic region from NY and PA to NJ and Delaware to Maryland and you will see a mixed bag from really good to not great 

 

Don Bosco and Bergen are terrific in NJ .. but there's also a lot of bad football in New Jersey

 

5A 6A Texas and Georgia ball , that just breeds a higher level competition.. 

 

Having more schools, smaller divisions does water down the competition a bit... 

 

In Texas, Iona prep and Monsignor farrell could be 1 team playing 6A ball...like Parish Episcopal.. That's going to put more talent on the field..

 

It obviously still wouldn't be Texas talent but that would create a New York super team

 

Monsignor Farrell was considered the number two team in New York state and St Francis did put up a better fight than they did against Iona prep throwing for over 260 yards
