i must say that, i do agree with most of these rankings, However they are extremely biased towards a few schools. Mainly private schools with 11-4 North Cross as a prime example. with key wins over Norfolk Collegiate,Covenant, and twice over Hargrave military academy after breaking their nine game win-streak. i just find it hard to believe that they are not in the top ten. Other then that they do seem pretty accurate. with the acception of teams who are 8-7 and have one key win on a team who has not had a convincing win all season, every game coming down to the wire. replacing them with a team like North Cross or even a strong river ridge team. its just not adding up. seems very biased to me for one or two teams. other then that i like what you all are doing.

This is crazy! North Cross is clearly a top 10 team! How does Bassett and Northside get in over North Cross. They just beat Hargrave twice and are top 5 in the state! Private schools around here get no respect. They are 11-4, and have some of the best players in the area, and majority of them are sophomores!

Wise County Central has had some players quit the team so the girls might not make a serious run at the state championship, although the team is better in the center position with the player that replaced some of the players that quit the team.
Good luck to all of the teams.
