In the past two years DLS has only lost to MD, SJB, & STA. #1, #2, #3 teams in the country these last two years. DLS would make a deep deep run in every state’s playoff system too. Winning *most*

Obviously the above list didn't take quality OOS wins into consideration. DLS has being frighteningly mediocre since 2016. They're a regional power as of now. They must beat NS this season to re-enter the realm of national relevancy.

NS is consider a national power, losing to them in a close game on the road makes DLS nationally relevant.

If DLS is a “regional power” then 95% of the country can’t beat that “regional power” squad.

FL version   @MC Rockets   

They missed listing STA with a national ranking in 2010 for sure.

Yeah, I never waste too much time trying to understand their logic in the rankings. Never been accurate. Ever!!!

So that's 47.5 of the states, definitely won't be winning in Tejas, Georgia and half of "your pick".

Who have they beaten though?

100% of the teams in this country could lose to Mater Dei, St. John Bosco and St. Thomas Aquinas.

So in your definition of national rellevency ,  one must be a top 5 team in country to earn that distinction

GA? Haha no mames guey. They would win class aaaaaaaaaa every year for the most part. I agree on tejas. They would only win 60 yo 70% of state titles at highest class.

DLS would not win big boy titles in Ga, Fl, Tx, Ca this year. They are not a MNC contending team but I do think DLS is definitely top 10 in any state and better than a regional power.

Folsom! On a serious note, you’re right. No big wins for them recently, they need one. Hopefully at NS this year if that game is played. They’re not on the level of SJB, STA, MD, DV etc but they’re definitely better than the regional power they were labeled.

I would say Dela would have been even money GA Marrietta last season, most likely top 5 in Texas and possibly number 2 or 3 in FLA. In Ca. definitely 3rd. This leaves Maryland , and outside of SFA , they were equal with any other team imop. Doesn't mean they couldn't have lost, but chances of winning were very high.  I would safely put Dela top 15 last season, and maybe top 10. Will never really know for sure.

The premise of the OP is flawed.  DLS hasn't been dominant at all in Calif for the past 6 years.  They have been a top contender like several other programs, but that is all.

May we cut the Spartans a little bit of slack, please? According to Massey’s, it appears De La Salle has only been bested by 13 different teams dating back to their amazing streak.

Only 6 teams in the nation have 2 wins against De La Salle.

Only 1 team holds a record 3 wins against them.

How long since they’ve lost to any California team not named Mater Dei, Bosco or Cen10? 

How long has it been since they’ve lost to a northern California team?

Are they viewed as less of a threat from struggling with OOS competitions or is it merely they haven’t figured out how to beat “Thing 1” or “Thing 2” yet?

What De La Salle has done, I don’t believe anyone else in the nation would be able to. They’re rightfully deserving of that California spotlight. Maybe with some effort, Thing 1 & Thing 2 will finally be able to live up to the Spartan fame...

...but for now the Spartans own California.

Big fan of DLS, Nick fired off the 95% quote and I just couldn’t let it go....

LOL

BGW

Let’s be generous and say there are 150 teams in America that can beat DLS. (There’s not) That’s still less than 1% of teams across the country. (16,000 HS teams.) A regional power to me is definitely not DLS. Just my opinion.
