MEMPHIS
HIGH SCHOOL TOP TEN
This was the hardest in years to
pick a consensus number 1 in the Memphis area
including the tri state area. There just isn't a monster
team that sticks out as years past. Players come in
cycles and we are going thru a mild cycle at the present
time. One thing for sure is the private school sector is
making a major impression and holding their own. They
have three entries to start the year off and can end up
holding the number one spot at the end of the season.
When it comes
to St. George's I seriously want to rank them really
high but when I look at their schedule, they will
win 90% of their scheduled games against nobodies.
Nothing against super stars
Elliot Williams
(DUKE)
and
Lawrence Bowers
(Missouri), just
reality. I didn't make the rules don't get mad at
MemphisHoopers.com. Hold up before anyone says anything, BCS, AP, ESPN all
have their rankings formulas depending on many variables
and strength of schedule is right at the top.
That being the point, can anyone blame the Hoopers
staff.
If not, then everyone that reads this article
what about the Memphis Tigers. Do you think they will be
ranked that high playing Southwest, Northwest.
Okay done deal!!!!
Transitional
periods are always hard and conforming into policies
take time relating to basketball measures.
12-24-07 Weekly Breakdown
Ridgeway takes over the Number one
slot and just might keep it the remainder of the year.
BTW creeps up to 2 but Treadwell and New Hope loom right
around the corner. Manassas falls to 3 after loss to
Ridgeway and Bolton unexpectedly in Purple Wave Classic.
Raleigh Egypt seems to regroup and moves up from 7 to
the 4 slot. Kirby up 1 respectively. CBHS the big jumper
with victory in Purple Wave Classic, not ranked last
week. Briarcrest falls to 7 after loss to Ridgeway
handily. Union City anassas holds on to the Number 1
slot for the second week.
Ridgeway holds on to the second position slot waiting
for a much anticipated game against Manassas later this
week. BTW jumps from 5 to 3 and is lurking in the cut to
make a move for the top slot in the rankings regardless
of weak schedule.
