Comments: Lots of tournament action but 5A schools need to do a better job now that we are moving into district of reporting their updates. There are several different internet services and they do not necessarily agree on records, please have a parent or coach just email me you record weekly.

HeHe.......these Polls crack me up!!!!

[CRUSHCOACH]

 They can only be as good as the people participating in sending in info. And I'm sure theres not much info coming in about all the teams.

[Armchair Quarterback]

Several of these teams will be playing each other over the next few weeks.

Let's see who remains worthy of the pre-district recognition.

[badndn]

I sent him an email Monday letting him know about some of the teams we have seen so far...No ALEDO in 4A is obsurd. They were in the final four last year and are better this year. Also they did not have Deer Park in the 5A poll until this week????

Last week BH was not ranked.

And he still has 4A Ridge Point in the 5A poll!

[CRUSHCOACH]

 That's true. The only thing that really matters anyway is what it looks like at the end of the season !
