What's difficult about reaching the playoffs is that for all the milestones and records achieved, only one team finishes the year with a win in its respective division.
An unblemished record or league title takes a back seat once the postseason begins.
Lets put this way.
For all the sports that offer state titles, just three teams from Monterey County have finished the year with a win or state crown.
Yet, once the agony of seeing your season end subsides, my hunch is every kid and coach would do it again. Because when you've made the playoffs, it is truly an award.
