Agreed. Holmes is still somewhat of an unknown since most of their games have been against out of area competition, save for the few DII schools they played.

 

Different team from last year, but stills appears to be just as competitive.

The performances against Aiken and Ballard show just how good they can be.

 

The performance against Moore shows the inexperience they're still dealing with early in the season.

 

Right now, Coach Booher is simply working on consistency with this group. By seasons' end, I can almost guarantee nobody will want to see that Holmes' press in a win or go home situation.

Conner's loss to Highlands today was not surprising. They have been struggling but like many say, Hicks usually has them ready by tourney time. This was still pretty impressive for Highlands as Pat Towles didnt even make the trip today due to sickness.

I agree with the top 3 teams listed but after that I simply don't understand some of the others. The rankings will change throughout the season due to the overall parity in the 9th this year.
