Week One Rankings

First round of my regular season rankings which will just be coming off my preseason rankings. It has actually been two weeks but, I'm combining the two weeks because the holiday weekend was a full week of games and many teams didn't even play that week. Again these rankings mean nothing and are just truly for my own enjoyment.

Division One
Neenah lost 6'7 senior transfer Rodney Scales back to Detroit but, still remain my #1. Riverside lost to De Pere falling to #9 just behind West Allis Central who lost to Milwaukee King in overtime. Oshkosh North lost to Kimberly who checks in at 11 with North at 13. Madison Memorial lost to Madison East and Madison La Follette and drop out of the rankings. Homestead lost to Muskego, dropping them to 14 and Muskego coming in at 12. Milwaukee Vincent has started the season 0-5 so guess I totally blew that ranking and Arrowhead lost their first two games as well. Middleton has started 3-0 and moves in to the rankings at 15.

1. Neenah
2. Stevens Point
3. Milwaukee King 
4. Sun Prairie
5. Racine Case
6. Germantown
7. De Pere
8. West Allis Central
9. Milwaukee Riverside
10. Burlington
11. Kimberly 
12. Muskego
13. Oshkosh North
14. Homestead
15. Middleton

Division Two 
Rice Lake lost to Minnetonka of Minnesota but, I have always said I will not drop a team for losing to an out of state team. Whitefish Bay lost to two D1 ranked teams in Germantown and West Allis Central but, stay in the rankings at #10. Milwaukee Washington lost to D4 power Dominican and only drop two spots to six. Wauwatosa West lost to both Hartford and Milwaukee Messmer and fall out of the rankings and are replaced by Hartford at 14, meanwhile Messmer held strong even though they lost to Milwaukee Washington. West De Pere lost to Ashwaubenon and Ashwaubenon lost to Kaukauna, which puts West De Pere at 13 and Ashwaubenon at 11. Fort Atkinson is another new team in the rankings at 15. D2 is a division that always has a lot of changes and up and down movement due to the fact that many of these D2 teams are playing D1 teams on a regular bases and a lot of times you can't hold those loses against them.

1. Rice Lake
2. Wisconsin Lutheran
3. Mount Horeb
4. Kaukauna
5. Milwaukee Pius
6. Milwaukee Washington
7. Lacrosse Central
8. Stoughton
9. Shawano
10. Whitefish Bay
11. Ashwaubenon
12. Milwaukee Messmer
13. West De Pere
14. Hartford
15. Fort Atkinson

Division Three
Brown Deer lost to highly ranked Milwaukee King and drop to #5. Roncalli lost to a team from Louisiana which will not be held against them. Waupun lost to Laconia and fall behind them at 11. East Troy lost to McFarland allowing McFarland into the rankings and East Troy falling to 14. Valders lost to Luxemburg Casco dropping out of the rankings along with Clinton who lost to Delavan-Darien and Lodi lost to Sauk Prairie and Marshall. Lake Mills and Little Chute are the two new teams at 13 and 15.

1. GET
2. Poynette

10. Brookfield Academy
11. Waupun
12. McFarland
13. Lake Mills
14. East Troy
15. Little Chute

Division Four
Dominican lost to Milwaukee Riverside without Diamond Stone so that's a tough game to judge being that Riverside is a ranked D1 and Stone wasn't playing, so ranked them one spot down at #2 behind Eau Claire Regis.  St Catherines lost to highly ranked Racine Case, which is another tough game to judge and I only dropped them to #6. Pacelli has started the season off 1-4 and fall out of the rankings along with Deerfield who lost to Marshall and Lake Mills. Oshkosh Lourdes and Unity are the new teams to the rankings.

1. Eau Claire Regis
2. Dominican
3. Mineral Point
4. Blair Taylor
5. Cuba City
6. Racine St. Catherines
7. Fall Creek
8. Amherst
9. Brillion
10. Marathon
11. Auburndale
12. Iola Scandinavia
13. Luther
14. Lourdes
15. Unity

Division Five
Port Edwards lost to Wausau Newman, who only lost to Wausau East, which dropped Port Edwards to 12 and puts Newman at 10. Bangor lost to a very good Blair Taylor team and fall to 11.
Bangor lost to Blair Taylor. Milwaukee Academy lost to Milwaukee Juneau and a team from Minneapolis, Barneveld lost to Evansville and Dodgeville, Fredric lost to Turtle Lake, and
McDonell Central lost to Stanley Boyd knocking all four out of the rankings. The three new teams are Wisconsin Rapids Assumption, Turtle Lake, and New Auburn.

1. Wausaukee
2. Hillsboro
3. Central Wisconsin Christian
4. Necedah
5. Owen Withee
6. Randolph
7. Gilmanton
8. Green Bay NEW Lutheran
9. Sheboygan Lutheran
10. Wausau Newman
11. Bangor
12. Port Edwards
13. Wisconsin Rapids Assumption
14. Turtle Lake
15. New Auburn

As you can see there were a lot of up and down movement in the rankings and a lot of teams lost. This is fairly common early in the year because teams just haven't played any games and we really don't know how things are going to play out.
