This is my point. Sure, if you compared the University of Tennessee women's team to the Arkansas Pine Bluff men's team, the Lady Vols probably would outdraw and out decibel the Pine Bluff fellas. My point, however, is that at the same level, the boys will almost always outdraw the girls. (Actually, it was BITS' point, I just reiterated it.)

My question. Were these sectionals of the same level of high schools, and did they involve the same schools?

Not that there couldn't be some exceptions to BITS' point about attendance and intensity.
