Advance's performance in the Holiday Tournament indicates they make be under-ranked.
I've seen Raytown a couple of times. Suprised their not ranked.
Liberty? Not at all impressed.

 

[have an idea]

Blair Oaks - solid team/well coached. Tough District

 

[you_dont_know_me]

Stanberry should tumble a bit after getting beat by Worth County.

Rankings mean very little. Take for instance Class 4 Hillsboro. It took a loss for them to break into the Top 10. Hard for people to cast votes when they have only seen limited number of teams.

I stopped looking at the poll when I saw Stanberry ranked ahead of Hartville. What a joke. The only way you could come up with that is if you didn't take the nine seconds you would need to look up who Hartville played.

I'm not even a Hartville fan, but come on. That's why I Hate these polls. They never reward a program for playing a tough schedule or meaningful games.

Hartville beat Class 5 Hazelwood Central, a really good team. Lost to two really good Class 5 teams in Glendale and Parkview and has beaten Clever, Fair Grove, Catholic, Mt View Liberty and Licking -- all really good teams.

They have another Class 5 road game at Nixa on their schedule as well as Mt Grove.

Now just for fun, let's see who Stanberry has played.

Class 1 Mound City 4-5 W
Class 1 NE. Nodaway 4-5 W
Class 3 Bishop LeBlond 1-6 W
Class 1 Albany 1-6 W
Class 1 NHarrison 2-6 W
Class 1 Albany 1-6 W
Class 1 King City 3-3 W
Class 1 Worth County 6-3 W
Class 1 Worth County6-3 L

That's right, nine games in they have played eight Class 1 games, and one Class 3 team and ONE team with a winning record. Who they lost to.

I guess it's good to know most coaches are in the same place most parents are -- did we
Win or lose, that's all we need to know.

Okay rant over.

I have so many stories from coaching relating too rankings/seeding meetings.

 

[msubearssuperfan1]

Why did the media stop their poll again???

 

[antlervalleyoutdoors]

Stanberry should tumble a bit after getting beat by Worth County.

Braymer over Worth County at WC tonight 40-33

 

[Royalclone]

Class 5 #2 LS West and #7 Park Hill both suffered their 1st losses of the season last night. Both to conference teams.

 

[SouthBank]

Waiting to see when Wellington-Napoleon will break the Class 2 top 10.

Since losing their first game in triple OT to Lawson, they've won 10 straight including the I70 Confernce tournament and the MRVC East/I-70 tourney. They've also had big wins against some Class 3 and 4 teams beating Odessa, Oak Grove, and Higginsville (who were 10-0 before they lost to WN). They ended up 3rd place in state last year and lost some starters, but kept a good core to carry into this year.

I agree. Hartville beat an undefeated Licking that was ranked #2 in C3. They were competitive in their two losses in the Blue & Gold Tournament.

Here are their games:
Class 3-MV/BT Liberty (9-5) W-69-35
Class 2 Sparta W 51-20
Class 3 Fair Grove (11-4) W 69-64 OT
Class 3 Clever W 61-55
Class 2 Fordland (11-4) W-67-35
Class 2 Seymour (6-2) W 72-46
Class 5 Hazelwood Central (10-3) W 88-80
Class 2 Norwood (1-3) W 59-26
Class 3 Ava (4-8) W 78-40
Class 3 Springfield Catholic W 52-46
Class 5 Glendale L 83-70
Class 5 Parkview L 70-58
Class 3 Licking (12-1) W 58-54
Class 2 Willow Springs (5-6) W 68-40

This is a good resume and good showing against these teams. Very deserving of the #1 ranking in C2.

This time of year is great for starting to weigh out who's who. Either league play or tournaments (or both) for many of these teams. Getting into rivalry situations too.
