** According to the rankings…
– Class AA is a mess. Somehow, Bishop Kearney, who just lost to unbeaten & defending Class AA state champion, Green Tech, by two points, no longer deserves to be ranked.
– Webster Schroeder managed to leap frog Jamestown into the AA rankings, landing in the #19 spot. Like Jamestown, they lost to Rush-Henrietta. They have a total of four losses to Jamestown's three. One of Webster Schroeder's losses was to Greece Athena by 27 points. Jamestown lost to Athena by one. And can anyone guess what Jamestown has that Webster Schroeder does not? Four starters back from the Class AA state finalist team. Seriously, how does Webster Schroeder jump Jamestown and land at #19? Totally ridiculous!
– Amherst had no business losing on the road at Jamestown to the above mentioned Class AA state finalists who returned four starters, including the CC MVP. State rankings dropped them five spots, from 11 to 16 in Class A for that loss. Really?
– Ready for this? Randolph dropped eight spots, from 16 to 24 in Class C for WINNING two games last week. No losses since the last rankings, but an eight-spot free fall??? Hello???
– But Tapestry, who Randolph beat three weeks ago, moved up seven places in Class C from 19 to 12, after apparently really impressing the panel with last week's wins over Maritime & Buffalo Science.
– I better just stop now, I'm too fired up today. They must have done the rankings this week on a conference call after some intense Super Bowl parties.
