"JB & Rocketman's" Boys HS Rankings...

[rocketman]

A very "Merry Christmas" to all of the fiercely loyal followers of the critcally acclaimed "JB & Rocketman's" Boys HS rankings.......toolin' right along this year and it seems like most of our readers are in general agreement with our polling so far to this point.....

JB and I will be making our annual sojourn down to the far reaches of Southern Ohio next week during the holiday break and we hope to take in a game or two while visiting Sportie and his family of friends.....this week shows some minor moves as some of my early picks are getting off to a lackluster start and with the envelopes pouring in, it just seems to me like it is only appropriate that I acknowledge their extreme generousity by adding them in this time of giving.......'tis the season I guess ..........

biggest shakeup is happening in the D3 ranks where Hamilton Badin is making a serious run for my affection and the booster clubs from two of the most renowned D3 powers in the state (St. Hank's and OG) have really stepped up to the plate after listening to Colin Cowherd braggin' up those new 46" Vizios on his show .......mucho gracias......and the OG boys were not to be outdone as they sent JB a year's supply of Mad Dog along with some of those big freezer cardboard boxes from W.C. Woods so he could add on to his crib.........

We both wish everyone joy during this most beautiful time of the year, and we hope you have continued good health in the upcoming year............and now, the BEST HS BOYS RANKINGS in the whole wide world..........thanks zooooom

JB & Rocketman,

Can I make a suggestion (just a suggestion - smile)

Are you able to post the team's records behind them when you put your poll up?

No biggie if you can't. lol.

[MrOHSN]

Based on the team's I've seen, etc....

Sandusky should finish ahead of Findlay. Mansfield Senior is THE best team in NW Ohio unless you entertain throwing Lima Senior into the midst. Then, the edge could go either way (didn't they play each other already?)

Also, what about Madison?

I like the rest of your D 1 poll.

Division 2 poll looks good!!! I kind of like Evergreen and Ottawa Hills about a spot or two higher but we'll see what Evergreen has when they go to Toledo Christian Tuesday.

Division 3 poll looks good as well.

Division 4 poll looks about right on. If, and only if, Fremont St. Joe goes to 6-0 by possibly beating Norwalk St. Paul Wednesday, I think you have to put them in at #10. They aren't fancy, but their defense will help them win a lot of games.

Great job!!!
