Let me just say something about Taft. My son's team (Glenbrook North), play them in the first round of the state tournament. Even though we beat them, they were a quality team with good pitching and good hitting. I feel that if we had not been throwing our #1 pitcher, who is going to Bradley University next fall, they might well have beat us. Unfortunately for Taft the only two errors that they made in the game came in the same inning and we were able to get some runs as a result. To me they were one of the better teams that we played all year. If their record was a mirage, it was a very good one. To go 24-0 is very difficult, even against "inferior" competition. Even the best teams have an off day occasionally and would have difficulty winning 24 in a row.
I stand by my statement. Who did they beat?
Teams in their weak conference TWICE! There wasn't a quality team in those 28 wins and thats a fact. But it is something to build on for next year. Play a tougher schedule it'll only help in the long run.
