In D1 North, not a single player that made 1st team is a senior, and only 2 on 2nd team. Will be interesting to see how Ed, Ignatius, and Hudson stack up with the rest of the state next year. Could the North become the 2nd best region? In D1 South, more juniors (4) made 1st team than seniors...

In theory, Elder could/should have been even better with a returning starter deciding not to play this year

I don't see anyone scoring over 20 on Elder until the likely matchup with Centerville in the state semis

Also, I know it has been talked about already, but with the win last night Moeller moves to 17-5 on the season. St X moves to 7-4. Pretty embarrassing that Moeller has played DOUBLE the number of matches St X has this late into the season

Just a technicality, but I believe #1 and #2 get automatically placed, they don't pick, to ensure they are in the South 1 and South 2 brackets respectively. After that, you are correct that each team gets to pick their position in either of the South region brackets.

Maybe the point is that the average level of player dropped due to the lost year, but since Walnut has 2 outsides playing club at a very high level that has helped them to close the gap even more? In terms of becoming an elite player at the state level, the more reps you can get early on...

I think they have always had at least one representative from every region. So you would either remove Darby (Been a participant almost every year), Northmont, or Liberty. Also, with Walnut getting a new coach this year, the scheduling could have fallen on the AD who wouldn't have known the...

I was there. Definitely more than half full... A reported 20,883, but I would guess between 17000 and 18000 in reality. What point are you attempting to prove?

Darby and Northmont are both outside of the state top 10, but I still think Darby comes in ranked over Northmont. Going to be a tough Elite to call with the Elder-X matchup the night before, Moeller injury, and some teams starting to string together wins with others on a cold streak, but here...

The seeds have always been based off the state rankings from the prior week. Only guesswork is if there is a division 2 team included, which is not the case this year. State ranking from last week would have the seeds as follows: 1. Elder 2. St X 3. Moeller 4. St. Ignatius 5. Centerville 6...

The game was only announced 2 or 3 weeks prior, on a Tuesday night, during a multi week stretch of cold and wet weather, plus it was only the round of 64. I usually go to a lot of games, but decided to pass on this one. If they end up hosting any more this year, I would expect the number of...

Elder in 3

No arguments here. In division 1, I think the top 4 teams have proven themselves. I would agree that Elder should be 1st, after that it's a tossup. Division 2 Carrol has separated themselves from the pack. I think Alter has a lot to prove against Badin this week to show they deserve to be...

What is happening at Darby? They are not in the top 10 in the East Region for the first time in likely the entire history of the coaches poll.
