USATODAY.com I thought the coach was wrong. I’m surprised those are the only ones. Seems like we’ve had some great teams over the years in this area.

Those teams come to mind off the top of my head from covering hoops and being in high school around the same time. Holmes finished in the MaxPreps XCellent 25 the year they won state and the USA Today top 40 poll the previous year when they lost to Darius and Mason Co in the state finals. Pretty sure Covcath finished in the same two polls the year they won state, but not sure of the final rankings for each. 2004 Moeller team is another one that could have possibly finished in the top 25. I know they were in the USA Today top 10 at one point during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gchs_uk9 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Oak Hill was 44-2 and held two teams scoreless. How do they not crack the top 25? Do each of the ranked schools only have 9th-12th graders? Perhaps Oak Hill isn't included because they have 5th year players? I have no idea, just throwing out possibilities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
