As the regular season finished
Jackson: Won 4 straight games, including a victory over a very good St. Ignatius team. Finish 19-3
McKinley: Lost 3 of 5, including a loss to 4th place Hoover, and one of the wins coming by 5 points over last place Glen Oak. Finish 16-6.
A poll from a few weeks ago that had Jackson at #3 in the state with McKinley outside the top ten has been criticized repeatedly on this thread. But I'm starting to think it was correct. I know McKinley beat Jackson head-to-head, but if you were to ask me who had a more impressive regular season and who is playing better basketball right now, I'd have to go with the Polar Bears.
