Been a while since Silsbee wasn't in the preseason rankings. My guess would be at least 23 years ago.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Being at #23 is a complete surprise for me 😳

I was asked to have input on these preseason rankings.

For the preseason rankings, they try to have every region covered. They like to see at least 4-5 teams from each region in the rankings to start the season. 

I stated that I thought Memorial could be one of the top 6-7 in the region but would not have issue with them not being ranked.

Same went for Silsbee. That situation was a little harder since there was many more teams in the region that should be ranked over them.

I'm surprised Memorial is anywhere near a ranking coming into this particular season, maybe I'll be wrong but I'm not expecting much this season.

I don’t think Mr. Brad Ernst and/ or coaches if they have a vote, have all of the information if TABC has BU ranked over WB. Not sure if he knows of a high level wing transfer and also 6’10” transfer lol

Coaches fill out a form and rank a region then return it to TABC.

So if a team is ranked, it's mostly due to the coaches input.

But I am certain some coaches and media are not privy to all info on some teams.

I knew about the two transfers for West Brook. I would have them right there with BU.

I thought maybe I’d see HJ in the top 25. Westwood winning 3A D2 this year is almost a guarantee barring injuries…

I don't think they are worthy just yet.

I also don't think a lot of the folks involved in the rankings knew about the transfer to HJ. 

But even with Lowe, not sure how good they will be. Time will tell.

Westwood has the best roster on paper no one will argue that. But there are lots of good teams in the region. I selfishly predict Onalaska vs Westwood in Regional final game and it should be a rematch game as Onalaska will be traveling to Westwood in December which will likely be a matchup of two top 5 teams when they meet if not 1 vs 2.
