Pequot 70, Brainerd 44

There's no way Brainerd should be losing at anything to a school with less than 1/4 the student body. So my burning question: is Pequot that good (not just for a 2A school, but absolutely) or is Brainerd simply that awful? By the looks of PL's scores it seems Brainerd put up about as much fight as Pine River. Maybe the Northland Conference is a better fit than the CLC?
