I agree that is not the kids fault that they go to a smaller school but stop all this nonsense about division 2 and 3 schools being able to compete with division 1.
      With this line of brilliant reasoning then China, India. and Indonesia should all be powerhouses in soccer as they are the three most populated countries on the planet. And small countries like Croatia and Iceland should be all crap. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with quality over quantity, can it?

      But carry on with your naive thinking.

        Are you really that ignorant to think any division 2 team could beat the top d1 teams like Brockton. And yes smaller countries have done well but that has to do with a complete change of culture. There is a big difference between Brazil and Iceland while there really is not that much of a difference between the types of people and coaches in differing Massachusetts towns. Also if you think Iceand has quality you clearly have never seen it. They are big brutes that boot the ball up. Anyway, one thing you are right about is quality over quantity!!! And if you have ever been to the state tournament for different divisions you can clearly see the difference in quality.

          You obviously have reading comprehension issues not to mention logical reasoning deficiencies.

          "Are you really that ignorant to think any division 2 team could beat the top d1 teams like Brockton."

          No. But that could be said about "any" division 1 team, too. The top D2 teams are very good, and yes, some of them could beat good D1 teams like Brockton, St. John's Prep, Lexington, LS, Needham, etc. on any given day. Just because a school is classified as D2 based on enrollment doesn't automatically make it inferior to D1-classified schools. That's just plain stupid to think that way. Again, China has 1.6 billion people.

            I've watched plenty of d1 and d2 high school soccer in Mass. It is pretty ignorant to categorically state that d1 is that much better quality than d2. I've seen plenty of crossover games d2 vs d1 where a good d2 wins vs. a good d1. Not unusual. Not saying it happens all the time, but the point is that it all depends on the team and the year, and generally not d1 vs. d2 nonsense.

              You are clearly missing what I am trying to state. The top D1 schools are better than the top division 2 and 3. Yes on occasion the top division 1 teams could lose but that is in any sport. And for your national team analogy you can not compare towns in Massachusetts to countries. But anyways which country has the most world cups...Brazil. Brazil is a top 5 largest country. So once again ur argument is flawed.

                Your whole argument for D1 > D2 is based on the size of schools. While size is a factor no doubt, to dismiss D2 schools as being inferior because of smaller enrollment is a fallacy. Some towns have better youth programs and feeder systems than others, and long term success can create the environment where good athletes from an early age dream of playing soccer for the local high school. Socio-economic factors have an effect too.

                  Just a question can't d2 schools move up to play in the d1 tournament?
                  Higham did it on the girls side. Just asking if that is true then why wouldn't the d2 teams that think they are good move up? That would solve the issue.

                    Is it safe to say that the bell shaped curve of division 1 lies to the right of the bell shaped curve of division 2 and division 3? It is the case is all other sports so why would soccer be an exception?

                        They don’t move up because the coaches, unlike parents here, agree that they would get smoked.

                          Nauset could have done this but it would expose them

                            First...do you understand what I am saying?
                            The bell shape is the average or median and standard deviation.
                            For example it doesn't mean that division 2 might not have the fastest 800 meter runner, it only means that the average or median runner is faster in division 1.

                            Name the sport where the bell shape is better for a lower division.

                              Well. Nauset may still do well in division 1, but they certainly would not be as dominant and might not win the way they do in division 2.

                                Maybe D2 schools don't have a little man complex that some people here think they have. They don't need to "prove" anything. There is no issue, only in the ignorance of people who automatically think large schools are better than smaller schools.
