They deserve to be, they just beat Holmes and are playing better than Holmes.

I agree they're playing better than Holmes...which is why I said they're the favorite. :thumb:

I would probably move Beechwood to #5 and move everyone else down one spot. I would also have Holy Cross at #9 with Conner at #10

Anyways, even if the next game were played at Boone, I still think Holmes would win. Coach Henley won't lose to Boone twice in a year. All the credit to Boone for beating Holmes, but I don't see it happening twice.

Why? Ryle beat Beechwood head-to-head (on BHS' home court) just recently.

Body of work. In my opinion Beechwood has played more consistently than Ryle.

I agree. I'd also say Holmes could make the same argument for being ahead of Boone. Just recently did Boone start playing better. Holmes overall body of work is much more impressive.

Just don't see that. Ryle played a much tougher schedule than Beechwood. Nothing personal, but BHS' schedule was packed with the likes of Calvary (2x), Heritage (2x), Ludlow (2x), Dayton (2x), Bellevue (2x), Silver Grove (2x), and Villa (2x). But we're each entitled to our own opinions.

You have stated many times in the past (and including earlier in this very thread), that the rankings are about the current level of play by a team, not the overall season "body of work." The "body of work" argument seems to generally be the mantra of those trying to explain away a recent defeat of their team by another team ranked ahead of them.

Don't forget CovCath 2x as well.

Which is why I said Boone is playing better right now and is the favorite heading in to the post season. :confused:

 

Was just stating if we were looking at overall body of work, like 4pointplay originally implied, that a case could be made for Holmes being ahead of Boone.. nothing more, nothing less. Take it FWIW.

So what exactly does this poll mean?

So what exactly does this poll mean?

 

Boone gets a nice little plaque from Ryan Ernst and The Enquirer, stating that they're the Enquirer NKY Boys Poll Champs....so pretty much...nothing.

If I do my math correctly and based on the fact that both Boone and Holmes received 6 first place votes that tells me that someone voted Holmes 3rd.

 

What?
