I have seen it come close in our county. There was a game between a school of 300 that only ran a senior team and a school of 1600 that also played host to a travel provincial team.
You get a bunch of kids who have only played a little on the playground in an undeveloped program against a team full of kids who have been playing organized ball for 6 years.
Usually schools of such different sizes only meet in tournaments, but if conferences get small, the range of ability gets greatly magnified.
