Is there a level of college that the North Shores or Duncanvilles of the world could win a game or compete in? I heard the 6A-D1 game had 31 Division 1 commits. It made me wonder if they could beat a D-2 school like A&M-Kingsville. What do y’all think?

And I'm an alum from the glory days, so I know what good football was like down there. It's a very big crap sandwich right now. There might be some D3 schools out there who have teams which are essentially club football teams because they don't give athletic scholarships and the schools themselves don't really place alot of resources into the programs like a Mary Hardin Baylor does.

No, even D3 schools would beat the North Shores of H.S. ball. I’ve seen D3 ball and even though they are not stacked up with talent like a D1 the players are men, the game is faster, the hits are a lot harder. Even a bad D3 should beat a great 6A D1 team.

Maybe an NAIA small college in Kansas like St. Mary, Bethel, Sterling, or others in that league.

I completely agree that D3 has some very, very good teams that would spank North Shore, but the bottom of the barrel of D3 is horrible. They have some teams that put zero focus or effort into football, and probably shouldn’t even field a team. Honestly, a couple of those schools are no different then just giving the intramural team at Del Mar pads and putting them on the field.

You have the Mary Hardin Baylor's, Mt Union's, etc. who are the power schools year in and year out in D3. I watched a very bad Sul Ross team get spanked 72-0 by very bad TAMUK team this year and that Sul Ross team looked like high school kids for the most part and played like them. Then you have what you described in your last sentence. Basically club teams who the university sponsors as an official sport to allow them compete in a conference, but put little to no resources into them. D3 is non scholarship by NCAA rule, but those who are serious about having football as a part of their culture find ways to use academic scholarships to lure decent football talent.

Maybe it was before the bowl games either way this would be KINDA like what you're talking about.

I was surprised it continued into the 70s.

I don't know. There are a good percentage of all district hs players on even a D3 team at different ages. Unless you are IMG or some other hs where you can hand pick your players it would be tough for a HS team to beat a Texas college team. One of our best offensive linemen went to Sul Ross in 2018. Also you are talking about 21 and 22 year old men playing against 17 and 18 year olds. IMHO

I would like to see UMHB play the likes of a SFA or Sam Houston State. How do you guys think that would turn out? Heck....even maybe a UMHB vs TX State match-up?

If we are talking about 2020 NS or Duncaville playing against college teams then they would obviously struggle and get blown out by all D1 and D2 college teams without a doubt. There are a few smaller D3 teams that are not very good that they'd beat IMO.

SFA and Sam Houston often get kids who could play at the top big boy (Big 12, SEC, etc) schools, but either lose stock value due to an injury they received their Senior seasons in high school. Or they have to go the JUCO route due to grades and unless they are non skill positions, they don't get picked by the top big boy schools after doing a quick two year duty at the JUCO. Most of your JUCO transfers in the big boy schools are linemen if you look at their rosters.

Could the IMG academy beat UMHB?
