With the cold-weather states getting going we will see a few more teams break into the HS Club Rankings. This week, a solid body of work gets Mississippi, KC Cougars, Kingswood, and Beaverton in. West Valley moves up one again thanks to another big result, this time beating United. 

But this week we can give you a little look into how we decide some of these things, and how thin the thread can be. We had Eastside out of Oregon ranked last week, along with Clark County.

But Clark County lost to Bend. So shouldn't we rank Bend? Maybe not. Bend lost to Linn Benton earlier in the season. So shouldn't we rank Linn Benton? Maybe not ... Beaverton has beaten West Linn, Valley Rams, and North Clackamas, all by big margins. Linn Benton also beat North Clackamas, but only 15-12. In addition, in a shortened-game round robin over the past weekend,  Beaverton beat Linn Benton 10-3. 

So recent results in the end have us ranking Eastside the best club in Oregon for now, with Beaverton, then Linn Benton, and then Bend. Of course, they could all be like Washington and have everyone beat everyone else.
