boys high school rankings

[JB Rocketmans Post Christmas]

Happy Holidays from the "JB & Rocketman's" boys high school rankings!.........this week's edition comes out a bit early for me as I'm getting packed for JB and I's annual pilgrimage to southern Ohio coming up this week.......we'll be off the grid as they say for a few days as we visit Sportie and the Gang down in the far reaches of the bowels of Appalachia.......a coal-burning stove out in Sportie's barn will provide the warmth and a couple of kerosene lanterns will illuminate our surroundings......the stories that we could tell over the past 4 years could fill a book as you can probably imagine

Not a lot of changes this week in my statewide poll although there was some minor shuffling with Griffins from Buchtel making their annual appearance after knocking off the Bennies last Tuesday.....ASVSM remains #1 in D2 after knocking off Glenville by about a hundred or so......Ironton also makes a return to my good graces as we received a very nice gift from their booster club via FedEx last Thursday afternoon......we will see this Tuesday night whether my thoughts on DSJ's right to a top 10 berth are worthy as they travel to Van Wert.....Coldwater from the MAC has also gotten out of the gate quickly and I have given them the respect that this conference so rightly deserves.........3 teams this week from the MAC gain top 10 status.......

the AP voters will be along in another 2 weeks or so with their first poll, so until then this is what you've got ......again, thanks for reading and most importantly..........posting to our rankings....... zoooom

Interesting!!!

While we at OHSN are getting ready to post our 2nd Poll of the season tonight, I was comparing a few notes with yours for Division 1.


A. Do you think St. John's is better than Mansfield Senior or Perrysburg? Okay, obviously you do since you posted them at the top, but I think Mansfield Senior is going further. (smile).

B. We're pretty much equal the rest of the way, but with Sandusky losing its last two games (albeit to Lima Senior and Mansfield Senior) I think they got to win a few more in a row and push their record up to 6-2 or 7-2 before they get a top 10 nod from me.

Right now, while I don't know if they'll hang around for the whole season, I have to put (Holland) Springfield at 5-1 over Sandusky at 3-2.

Otherwise, thanks for another great job!!! Look forward to reading it every week.
