I would like to hear some opinions on what people feel it is going to take for the top teams in 4A West to compete come championship time with the top teams in 4A East. I am not looking for any arguments centered around speed and athleticism - I know speed and athleticism play a huge factor in determining the outcomes of the game and the East has an obvious OVERALL (I'm not saying there are not any players with great speed and athleticism in the West - but overall team speed has been an obvious advantage for teams in the East) advantage. As far as the East having more overall team speed and athleticism - that is what it is and it is going to change to overnight. I'm looking for some insight as to what teams in the West can do to overcome this disadvantage to put themselves in position to compete with the teams from the East. Any thoughts on this topic? I would like to hear from some guys in the East as well as to what they believe teams in the West can do to compete.
