E-town girls top Cantrall ratings | Fields Notes

Didn't think the ratings came out tomorrow. Where can we find regional ratings?

Meant to say didn't think they came out until tomorrow.

AP poll comes out tomorrow afternoon.

I am unfamiliar with the Cantrell Ratings. Can someone please give some insight into what goes into these rankings?

It's a computer-ranking system ran by the Lexington Herald Leader (similar to the Litkenhous of the Courier-Journal).

 

Not an arbitrary human vote by any means.

 

Record, strength of schedule and point differential (close losses and blowout wins help) all play a factor. Games against non-KY teams do not count (because it's hard to rate them).

Thanks! I appreciate it. I guess Highlands has a bigger point differential and/or strength of schedule than HC? I've seen HC play, they're pretty good.

Couple things here 1) Highlands is pretty darn good too. 2) some of HC's sos would have come from the Indiana teams they played, which aren't counted in this. 3)HC has played a little short-handed in most of their games. Either illness or injury.

 

They play each other this Friday.

Holy Cross will more than likely be without All-Region player Ally Mayhaus for the HC/Highlands game. Still hope for a great game between two solid teams.

 

Holy Cross will play at Holmes on January 22nd. Hope we can get back to full strength for that one.

 

Highlands will get Holmes at home on January 29th.

Oh know! Why without Ally?

Concussion.

 

Alas. She'll be the fourth HC starter to miss a game or games with injuries this year, and the seventh of HC's 11 players. Nine different girls have filled starting roles.

 

I HATE seeing girls (on any team) hurt.

Me too. And was hoping HC was finally getting healthy for the stretch run.

 

Because honestly, whoever wins the 9th is who I will be rooting for. This year...it will definitely be earned!!! (not to say it wasn't in past years...you know what I mean!).
