Week 1 Rankings

With the first full week of play under way, it's time for my week one rankings. I'll be building off my preseason rankings so there may be some surprise teams that aren't in the rankings yet because I didn't think they would be that. Most teams have only played two or three games so these rankings don't mean much at this time and things usually play themselves out come the end of the year. 

Division One
Milwaukee Riverside got destroyed by Stevens Point but, who wouldn't so they only dropped a spot to four. Madison East lost to Madison Memorial in their opener and dropped to a couple spots behind them at 11.There's always big battles in the Fox Valley where Oshkosh North lost to Kimberly and Appleton West went down to Neenah, knocking North and West down to 14 and 15 while Kimberly jumped into the rankings at 13 after Mukwanago lost to Waukesha South and fell from the rankings. 

1. Stevens Point
2. Germantown
3. Milwaukee King
4. Milwaukee Riverside
5. Middleton
6. De Pere
7. Arrowhead
8. Madison Memorial
9. Sheboygan North
10. Racine Park
11. Madison East

13. Kimberly
14. Oshkosh North
15. Appleton West

Division Two
The division that always seems to have the most movement and the first week didn't disappoint. Milwaukee Washington lost to Pewaukee and DeLaSalle from Minnesota. The Minnesota lose I won't hold against them but, the Pewaukee lose dropped them to 10 behind Pewaukee at eight. Mount Horeb lost their first two games of the year losing to Burlington and Reedsburg and fall out of the rankings. Seymour lost to Green Bay Southwest and nearly fell from the rankings but, stuck at 15. Wauwatosa East went down to Waunakee, allowing Waunakee to get into the rankings at nine and putting East at 11. Cedarburg lost to Muskego but, did beat Whitefish Bay and Hortonville, dropping all three teams together to 12, 13, and 14. Ashwaubenon lost to Kaukauna and West De Pere and fall from the rankings but, they are on the radar still just outside the rankings.

Division Three
Brown Deer lost a tough game to Milwaukee Riverside and drop just two spots to five. Marshall lost to Lake Mills and fall to seven. Xavier lost to a D1 school in Appleton East and drop just a spot to eight. Roncalli has already lost five games four of which are ranked in their division so I wouldn't be shocked to see them reappear in the rankings. East Troy got crushed by Stevens Point so they hold their spot at 15. Watertown Luther Prep jumps into the rankings at 14.

Division Four
Not as much changes here in D4. Dominican lost to an elite team in Brown Deer and drop just three spots to five. Darlington lost to Cuba City dropping them to 13 probably because of missing players due to injury. Deerfield lost to a highly ranked D3 school in Lake Mills and only fell a little to 10. 14 and 15 are a pair of schools that lost to much bigger schools with Marathon losing to Mosinee and Iowa Grant losing to Dodgeville.
