GRR: HS Rankings
An interesting phenomenon showed itself this week.
Usually, when we're asked the question as to whether the HS Clubs or Single-School teams are stronger, our answer is this: at the top, they are fairly close, but the club top list is probably a bit longer, the medium-ranked school list is a bit longer, but then there's a sharp drop.
What do you fans think?
Should St. Francis be #1? It isn't a for-sure thing that the All-California winner would be the #1. But after all of the results we've seen, and the results we've seen nationally, and with St. Francis beating De La Salle and Torrey Pines. and Jesuit Sacramento, this is the time to move such a team to #1.
This is still early days in the HS Club rankings and you can see that in how this week's rankings changed.
The Southern California clubs are a week out and the Northern California teams are not quite in full force. So when there's a result here or there, that can have a massive effect.
Well we did see a bunch of changes in the HS Club Top 50.
Not at the top. Charlotte Cardinals were brilliant in the Carolina Ruggerfest and they don't budge. People seem to be a bit wary of playing The Woodlands, which is a shame. They deserve some challenges, so if you're looking for a game this year, hit them up.
We're coming to the end of the period where some teams play a lot and others don't.
