be honest. the LHSAA had Rummel/Curtis in mind when they asked the smaller schools to choose to play up to the D1 bracket

J.T. had Rummel/Curtis on his mind when he chose to. Let's face it. One and a half titles in a row for Rummel has people questioning Curtis being the preeminent powerhouse in our area. Since their 2012 national championship, Curtis won last year, but they've slipped a bit behind Rummel in the pecking order, having a little to do with two losses to St. Aug (when was the last Curtis loss to a team with a losing record?)

Sure it will damage their program if they lose to Rummel, but the alternative of staying in the U-High division would have been worse. it would have been another chance to move up spurned, just like every two years between 1991 and 2004.

J.T. has worked hard over the years to go from Crescent City, Ridgewood, and Ecole level, to good, to great, to state champs, to national champs, but once you get to the top you usually like to stay there.

and it isn't about the trophy. J.T. has 26 of them. it's about respect
