Here is a question for everyone else to "toss around" and not butcher my opinion. The good game between RH & Fairview results in the pondering of, "Should Fairview be ranked higher than they are or should RH be lowered in the poll?" I dont know who should be in the #2 spot other than RH, but do they deserve the #2 spot? Also, after Russell's "blows by Raceland" game should they even be #1? IF you take out Russell from #1 and put them in #2 (only team worthy of RH #2 spot) then who goes to #1?

I would rank it:

1. nobody

2. Russell

T3. Rose Hill

T3. Ashland

T3. Elliott

6. Boyd

 

Lastly, dont take offense to any of this!

Are you saying Russell is a NOBODY?

Russell struggled for the first half against Raceland. I don't see that as any reason to think that they aren't the number one team in the region. No team plays at the top of their abilities all season long.

 

Until someone in the region beats them, they have to stay in that top slot. They have a solid team, and they are well coached.

Elliott played russell close and showed alot of strength lastnight against east carter. Do they move up?

Do you really think they are that much better than everyone else in the 16th region? I think not after last nights game against a fair Raceland team. They are no doubt # 1 right now, BUT I do not think they are that much farther ahead of everyone like you think they are.

I dont think you watch the 16th region too much. Russell by far has the best team and the most talent. So they had a bad game against raceland. Give me a team that doesnt? When the devils play together and to their potential, they are 10+ better than all the teams in the 16th.

Don't know about that!!!!!!!!!! Russell killed Elliott on the board's and shot 63% from the field as a team along with Vanhoose shooting 70% himself and only beat Elliott by three!:sssh:

Oh trust me I do. And I know that on a givin night Rose Hill, Ashland, Elliot, and maybe even B.C. can beat Russell.:fire:

I am not saying Russell is a nobody, I am just suggesting that they are not "head and shoulders" above the rest. They are good, as well as 4 or 5 other teams, but they have not warranted the number 1 spot b/c they have not been beaten by another region team "yet". IMO they are #1 by default, like I stated before, who else should be number 1 if Russell is not there? I don't think the coaching staff does enough to utilize the weapons that Russell has this year. That is why I don't think you can bet "sure money" on Russell or any other team in this region.

Well, for the sake of rankings and Cubster's sanity, someone has to assume the #1 spot, and unless one is blind, or in a cave, Russell is clearly the tops of the list, regardless of how large the margin over #2 may be.

Word to the wise, don't use gambling phrases in this forum even if you are just making a point or a joke. This is experience talking, you might find yourself in the penalty box.

Thanks for the words of wisdom!!! I meant nothing by it, just a phrase. :thumb:

Mirror mirror on the wall, if Boyd beats Russell who will be the fairest of all?

That would make for the toughest poll ever. If Boyd were to beat Russell I would think that Rosehill would move to the 1 spot and Ashland at number 2.
