9th Round State Rankings

Once again it is Monday and time for my state rankings again. Before I get to the rankings just a quick note which I'm sure many of you heard but, in a recent incident in Milwaukee to stars found themselves in some bad situations. Cimeon Bowers of Milwaukee King and Elgin Cook of Milwaukee Hamilton was in a car that was shot up and Bowers was wounded and will miss the remainder of the season while Cook has now left the state of Wisconsin. Very disappointing to see this happen and you have to wonder if they would of been better off going to the prep schools like many of their peers did prior to the start of the season. My rankings I have decided to follow the coaches rankings and now go to ranking top 15 and not have HM anymore.

Appleton East remains undefeated and in the #1 spot and following by the exact same teams 2 through 6. Madison Memorial lost another game and fall to #13 while the team that beat them Beloit moves up to #11. Everyone else moved up as only Memorial lost in the top 15 teams.

Tomorrow I will finally get the chance to talk about my Saturday game where Waunakee lost to Minneapolis DeLasalle a very good team with lots of tradition from Minnesota. Rankings seems to get easier the further we get in the season because it appears that the top teams are rounding in to form and just don't lose much.
